Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀
DAMN! I just did this step-by-step on my black car and IT WORKED! Worked VERY WELL. Between the sand paper and compound I spent about $18. Works SUPER well. Thank you! Great Video.
I do not see the link to the elbow grease!!! How much does it cost, and where can I purchase it??? I have enjoyed your previous videos, but now, with puppies, and jokes.....Priceless!! Thanks!!! James
Elbow grease means hard work.... You cannot get it in a brick and mortar store or online..... Lol...... And by the way there is no substitute for hard work.....
I'm a single mom, and recently inherited my dads 1997 Chevy Z71 when he passed away. It's actually in pretty good shape, other than oxidation and pollen from sitting uncovered in the elements. I'm trying to restore and detail inside and out as much as I can on a budget. I've watched tons of videos, and yours by far is one of the most informative I've seen. I look forward to seeing more. Thank you.
I don’t usually enjoy these types of videos, but I love your sense of humor and ......... your doggie! You’re a great instructor. Thanks for showing me how to hide the scuff on my bumper.🌸
hi everyone ,if anyone else needs to find out about best way to spray paint a car try Corbandy Car Sprayer Crusher (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my partner got excellent success with it.
Getting that free puppy and tossing it in the deal is a great idea, I can’t believe I never thought of that before. That probably would have gotten me out of lowering the price on the last car I sold due to the tires being in need of replacement. My question is, would a kitten work just as well? They can be obtained for free from the pound also. Wasn’t sure if you had any experience exploring that as an alternate option. Like say if all the dogs were ugly or missing a leg or something. Your videos are all fantastic by the way, thanks for making them. I’m learning a lot of excellent information!
Thank you for reminding me of some things, and giving me some new bits of knowledge. Sort of a quick and dirty master class on scratch removal. I do not understand who could have thumbs-downed this video! Thumbs up from me. Thanks again.
I find that rubbing compound on a damp cloth (LIGHTLY) and removed with wet cloth asap followed by polishing compound works good. I do this after touch ups too. Always save any exterior parts you have replaced because you can practice on them:)
I agree. Better to slightly overfill the clearcoat scratch with a superfine paint pen, sand just that filler to level, and polish the area. It may be visible in close inspection, but the mechanical integrity is restored.
Thank you for this video. By no stretch am I a DIY guy but this video was so simple that it gave me confidence I could do it and -- voila -- I did! Worked, great and likely saved a few hundred dollars. The dog was a fun touch, too. Thanks again for taking time to produce the video.
I'm confused, so you did not touch up paint? It looked like you just sanded and buffed it out with compound. Is that what you did, great video by the way. I might have to try the puppy trick, lol
Couple things in this video where incorrect first thing is you dry sanded the scratch, which is not good you should always wet sand so that dead paint doesn't get caught in the sanded areas always keep the area wet and wipe away your area every so often. Second we don't tape off areas to protect them from burning thro the edges, we do it because getting any type of compound,polish, or wax in the seems is a pain in the ass to remove. Haven't you ever when to detail someone's car and noticed crusty old wax or polish in the gaps of panels, well that's what tapping off a vehicle before Detailing prevents.
Aaron right ...auto parts stores have a sanding pad with a sponge on the back...its super fine too. use this wet, follow with rubbing compound then polishing compound. Gets the haze out!
LOL He already explain why he decided not to wet sand on the demonstration because it just a very small areas. It's a good basic video and he did a great job explaining it in the process for us wannabe DIY people.
Hi there! I followed the steps the best that I could. I have a puppy now but I am still looking for the elbow grease on amazon. Can you link it to me when you get the chance? Thanks!
Hi, you got any idea about how to repair some deep scratches on the base coat? I saw someone using brush to dip some paint on the surface. Do you have any detailed instruction on that?
I decided to use W-D 40 on my truck once dulled the paint job tried polishes to bring out the dull then the clear coat began showing was the worst experience, took 1 year to ruin my truck paint job failing each time to rub the W-D 40 out of the paint
On the clear coat and scratch removal you gave excellent advice. Send these videos to the man who offered you $20....What an insult, good business to you Sir and thank you.
The mil thickness of all layers of paint material from OEM parts are between 4 and 6 mils. You need at least .5 mils of clear coat to repair the scratch or you will ruin the finish.
Hi - great video actually. Seems really easy. Does this work also for plastic bumpers (Prius) or is it a different process with materials all together?
Unless that's one of the latest years of production there's going to be no bare metal under that paint... saturns were all plastic panels for a good amount of time
I just paint my car and now got long scratches.. I don't know how the heck it even got scratches.. The long scratches not too deep.. Some parts gor small chip.. Long scratches could barely see.. Before this i tried sand paper to remove water mark on paint and polish it with compound.. It does really work.. But trying on without sanding don't work.. I used just soft polish sponge.. Or do i need rougher clothe?
My goats got up on my car hauler and left hoof scratches. I've tried everything I can think of to remove them. W D 40 is great but did nothing for these kind of scratches. You can't even feel a scratch, just many, many mark's. Anyone know how to get rid of these?
Helpful video. Funny that he talks about how all the cars are made of metal while he works on a car that has plastic body panels. Still a good video. What's a "repaireeuh"? :-)
This is top advice, thanks.
Btw, you can easily hide scratch marks on your furniture that the puppy makes by leaving a car in your living room.

This by far was the best explanation ever
You deserve a new subscriber
I can't stop laughing at those wanting a link to "elbow grease" and asking where you can buy it? 😃
No, sweat, it's free.
@STAR OF DAVID67 as a non English speaker it got me the first time 😰
Stores usually place it the same aisle as sparks for grinders and left handed screw drivers
Link them to the oven cleaner named elbow grease and see how far it gets them😅
Dammit I wanted that link, well had to look up myself, here it is for the rest elbowgreasecleans.com/stockists/
Love your sense of humour!!
Keep up the videos love em!!
Now that's how you remove scratches...thumbs up to you sir...
Could u do a vid giving us advice on how to start, run a garage and cope with customers and pitfalls etc ?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Great tips I will be using the wd 40 on some minor scratches.
You can get “Elbow Greece” at your local hardware store. It is located next to the left handed screwdrivers.
Close to the nail strester
I do not see the link to the elbow grease!!!
How much does it cost, and where can I purchase it???
I have enjoyed your previous videos, but now, with puppies, and jokes.....Priceless!!
Thanks!!!
James
Are you making a joke about elbow grease? It’s an idiom
Elbow grease means hard work.... You cannot get it in a brick and mortar store or online..... Lol...... And by the way there is no substitute for hard work.....
"If you don't know what elbow grease is, the link is in the description" lmao..😂
Thanks for the explanation of the different levels coats on a car.

Modern problems require modern solutions 😂😂

Dodge car dealers won't be pleased with this videos, as all their secret just been revealed! :D

Your solutions are very practical for the common man...keep it up boss!
I like your newly invented word, "repairea"
toth42 I love the way he talks. And he so slyly slips in his jokes!! 😂🤣
toth42 ... Lol.... yeah I caught that too
"whereactually".. Huh?
Thank you and just like one of the other guy said in the comments, the link for the elbow grease had me in stitches 🤣 🤝👍🙏
I find that rubbing compound on a damp cloth (LIGHTLY) and removed with wet cloth asap followed by polishing compound works good. I do this after touch ups too. Always save any exterior parts you have replaced because you can practice on them:)
"If you don't know what elbow grease is, the link is in the description." 😂😂
classic|
Shame on the people from different countries for not knowing all english expressions 😔, Such ignorance from people who speak only one language.
That car now has 8 square inches of lovely paintwork with the rest a big swirly mess! Great vid but I'm far too scared to try it 👍🏼
I agree. Better to slightly overfill the clearcoat scratch with a superfine paint pen, sand just that filler to level, and polish the area. It may be visible in close inspection, but the mechanical integrity is restored.
Ive never heard of an automotive detailing secret society lol
ITs cause its a secret,,,,
Great explanation! 👍👍👍
Your one of the best! The videos are always well produced and easy to follow. I didn't see anything past the puppy. Man he's growing fast.
haha, yea he's gaining 4 lbs a week pretty much.
Sexy and smart. I'm learning so much.
I love all of your "secret weapons" lol. Great video
really good video....far more info than I was expecting...keep posting!
So won't it be noticeable now that orange peel is Removed?

Awww the puppyyyy!!!❤❤❤❤❤
@5:25 impecable technique.
Well the WD-40 is doing a great job! Thanks for the advice
If it helps our younger viewers , elbow grease is avilable from amazon. It comes in 1kg tins £ 11.99 I think.
Good job - well explained! thanks
Thank you, your videos are very helpful. Do you have one on how to remove a dent from your car? Thanks.
WD40 and Duct Tape...Gods gift to man
You're cool and have taught me a lot. Thank you!!
Thank you very much for that video...
Now , I know how to fix scratches with sandpaper and compound by hand
Without a polisher...
Thank you, great explanation.
I'm confused, so you did not touch up paint? It looked like you just sanded and buffed it out with compound.
Is that what you did, great video by the way. I might have to try the puppy trick, lol
Love the puppy part!!! That was awesome! :)
Love this guy’s humor 😂
I want your puppy!! Oh....and I'll take the car too please and thank you!! :)
Is that the guy from every body loves Raymond
Has to

It is really a very informative and direct tutorial!
Thanks for the video. Your funny. Puppy lol
What breed of pup was that? I was so chilled👌
How many 'scratches' does the puppy get.??? Heehehe

Didn't know Micheal Essa has a hidden skills. Great video anyway.

The thought of taking sandpaper to the paint work of my car scares me!!!
Ans me, to be honest unless its a very car I will leave it to the pro's as its near impossible to color match the paintwork
Me too
I want to see the video you mentioned at the end but it is not in the box. The one where you can repaint your car with spray paint.
Great video!!!
Perfect job brother thanks a lot. 👍👍👍☝☝
A very well presented and instructional video. Well done and thank you.
I couldn't find the elbow grease on amazon anywhere!
Elbow grease. .? Link in the description. I like that one. ...
Why didn't you repair the paint chip? Did it chip out the base coat at that point too? If you were to repair the paint chip, how would you do it?
Does thag compound work on any color or just black?
Most excellent. Thank you.
You've just tole me everything I needed to know,,,
Many many thanks,! 👍😃
Guys am I trippin or is this guy copying and pasting Chris fox’s explanations
The pup sold it for you 😂🎉
I just paint my car and now got long scratches.. I don't know how the heck it even got scratches.. The long scratches not too deep.. Some parts gor small chip.. Long scratches could barely see..

What kind of breed is that puppy ??? So lovely
I'll have the pup over the car anyday! 😆
My goats got up on my car hauler and left hoof scratches. I've tried everything I can think of to remove them. W D 40 is great but did nothing for these kind of scratches. You can't even feel a scratch, just many, many mark's. Anyone know how to get rid of these?
10:57 - Great choice in background music for us Car-men.
Helpful video. Funny that he talks about how all the cars are made of metal while he works on a car that has plastic body panels. Still a good video. What's a "repaireeuh"? :-)
Don't see the link to the el-bo grease you mentioned.
Sorry, vented so much forgot to say a big THANK YOU!!
Thank you for your video. You are direct and to the point. Your dry sense of humor is fabulous. You are my kind of instructor.
All your magic methods are non permanent and will bring devastating repercussions on paint job in the long term, lol WD40 on car paintwork? Really??
Awesome ! You should be a teacher ! Thanks for sharing all you knowledge !
Best Video on how to fix scratches in your clear coat. Thank you!
Good video keep them coming 👌
"Hey, there's a scratch on the c...OH MY GOD WHO'S THE GOOD BOY!! WHO IS THE CUTE LITTLE PUPPY!!"
So why can't I just use the 2000 grit sandpaper and not have to make one pass with 1500 then another pass with 2000?
Your videos are always awesome. I like the way you take the time to explain stuff. Thank you. 👍
The puppy part 😍 mission accomplished🤣🤣🤣🤣
