Honda Civic with Faded and Oxidized Paint and Clear Coat Failure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2016
- The Honda Civic featured in this video has extreme clear coat failure and was considered to be beyond hope other than an expensive repainting.
In this video, the surface was GENTLY and lightly sanded with 1500 grit wet and dry sandpaper and plenty of water to remove the flaking clear coat. After sanding and rinsing to remove any residues, a single coat of emulsion was applied, followed by a second coat 3 days later. The vehicle sold quickly after treatment and was no longer available for additional post application long term photos.
The before and after results are amazing. The peeling clear coat and faded paint are no longer visible to the casual observer. Maybe the results are not as good as repainting the car, but have been achieved in a simple DIY operation at a fraction of the cost.
L’Oxide is produced in the USA and more information is available at www.oxideoff.com. - Авто та транспорт
Everyone, this is a temporary fix, you'd have to redo it again in a few months. Video should have mentioned it.
you are correct, only good for selling the car wont last
one night stand baby
I bought this product it only temporary it lasted 2 weeks on my truck
so what’s a permanent fix
@@Alyssa-md3cs getting it painted
Great job brother
It looks similar to a product called "color back" as i recall it worked at first but later applications produced decluning results... Is you product better than color back?
I have a 04 dark blue civic with the same clear coat oxidation. I talked to an owner of an autobody shop and he said that generation of civics that were built in Canada all have premature clear coat failure. Defective item that Honda won't address.
Bubblebath ::o you should be thankful that car already last you 12 years!
Bubblebath ::o I have a 1994 Toyota pickup. Looks bad on the hood and roof. Not worth good repainted, but don't want a cheapie repainted as those seem to look worse. I'm interested in this as doing every 6 months doesn't look hard and would make the truck 100% better. If you do yours, share some pics
Carlos Arias that's why I'll never buy another Honda. Shame on them for not acknowledging
I also have a Toyota Corolla with this problem. Toyota will address this on Avensis and Auris but not Corollas because there are probably too many of them.
The reason for the clear coat to come off is because you have to have a certain window between painting the car to add the clear coat so it can stick properly to the cars, I have found that most mass produced cars will have clear coat peeling as they rushed to get them out the factory and didn't take the right steps
Great video
I got an 04 civic with a little clear coat failure so I gotta cop some of that stuff. it's magic
Better get some 2k clearcoat, a 1000grit sandpaper and a polisher if u wanna do a proper job
@@nourizakaria642 hi my sis give her old car to my son and it looks just like that. What is a polisher?
@@Cutie2128 it takes imperfections out of clear coat. But if you don’t have any then there’s no point.
@@gabrielgonsoulin8150 Can you recommend a brand so I can go buy it? There is a polisher for everything, nail polish for example
@@Cutie2128 if it looks like that it a polish can’t save it. It needs a new paint job.
Sure look way better then before. But did you buy this car used before this clear coat problem or brand new from dealer?
will it go back to how it was b4 if u don't keep adding or how does that go?
Can someone post a link of a more practical solution?
woww unbelievable good job sir
I had a this green Civic and a red CRV that had terrible clearcoat issues - white circles. Did this to CRV. Only 50% improvement - turned the white circles into gray circle - which are still very noticeable when you drive by someone.
We have not heard of this problem before. The emulsion brings out the underlying paint color unless it is prevented from reaching the oxides by previous applications of polishes, waxes, rubbing compounds or spray applications that have not been completely removed in the preparation process. In any case Howard, we have a return and refund policy if you are not happy with the results. Simply contact us for a return label and shipping instructions. Thanks for your interest in our product.
Smooth buddy smooth and thanx for tutorial

Exelente trabajo
Was there a part 1? What is this emulsion stuff he speaks off
Metal polish also works great on faded clear coat with a buffing machine.
What kind of metal
Polish?
Electric Lotus I have used autosol or mother’s metal polish.
Can i use polish? I think is the same n shine too

*What is the name of the existing substance that you use, so please bottle* ??????
ok donde lo compro en Mexico ?
dnd consigo ese producto
Are you Aussie? And can we get this in Australia??
nice video
The vehicle can be waxed after this treatment - but remember that if you want apply another coat in say 6 to 12 months time, you will have to get that wax layer off first. Most of our customers are just applying the 2nd coat - it is easier to apply than a waxing and the finish is nearly as good.
Good video. Saludos!
que haces acá FC Autos? Jajaja...naaa, hacen excelente trabajo ustedes también 👍
OxideOff will this product wash off?
what about adding clear coat over that to seal it?
No. It is safe to wash the car after the emulsion has set.
Wow thats pretty slick...ima try that thz
Do you have sales in Turkey?
this RUSTEZE!!!! JAJAJA ... SALUDOS FROM MÉXICO
Adonde lo venden?
Thank you for sharing this video!!
I want to know what you mean by coat of emulsion!
What's the material of it?
Does this leave a "scratched" finish? Or smooth/shiny looking?
Mostly a smooth and glossy finish - not as good as a professional paint job but the application is a DIY and much less expensive
its like magic
Fantastic spikin spain very good
Здравствуйте а можете подсказать с чем замазать.
What is emulsion? Wax?
looking good
at 0:52 I hate how that sounded idk if it's only me but that gave me the chills & made cringe so badly .
Loyal G. Hernandez same here
Loyal G. Hernandez Jesus Satan fuck that noise
Classy comment Brandon !!
Is this product delivered to Saudi Arabia?
Loyal G. Hernandez what yu talking bout fool
Nice
Uh-oh. Better get Maaco.
Just kidding. I'll throw some of this on my hooptie and save money for pizza.
where to buy emulsion?
What if you apply polishing step after 2nd coat of emulsion has dried up? And then apply a spray ceramic coating (of course depending on where the car is stored).
We have never done this. If you do, please let us know the outcome
@@oxideoff7387 I would consider the longevity of the emulsion due to the protection it will receive.
The mixing of chemicals is what would cause me to be apprehensive to the idea. Then again, if I tried it on a junk panel then I would be able to tell.
OK
Will there be a bigger bottle of oxide-off in the future to buy?
Probably not as the existing bottle has enough emulsion to do a full sized car, twice.
Mine Is faded not like this, It's white and not down to bare paint. Could I just polish and wax the paint so It looks at least better? And how would I maintain the look the longest?
Jose - if your paintwork is just faded, you should definitely use polish and wax to restore the shine and to keep this finish you should polish and wax every 6 months or so.
@@oxideoff7387 Awesome, that's the good news I was hoping for, I know the longer lasting solution would have been to get It repainted but I don't have the money for that right now. Thank You for your quick response

nice job but i have a question...clear coat been removed right? dont we need to apply clear coat again?
Clear coat has not all been removed - as shown in the video. However, if you are comfortable in masking off and spraying clear coat, then go ahead.
how much ?

Nissan is also notorious for bad clear coat.
@@69ChevyGarage I have had my 350z since 04 it's 2020 thing looks newer than most cars
All depends on the yr, honda did do recalls on the clear coat,, ex the 07’ civic had clear coat problems owners had till 2014 to go in and have it repainted.

Anyone notice the window sticker?My guess is this was just a quick fix to sell the car faster.

Xterra Modding Community would you rather receive a car with bad paint or a car with paint that looks good?
@@dilfonicz i guess that does make sense but hey man peoples gotta get their bucks somehow. don’t hate the player hate the game!
@@dilfonicz While that is true people like to over price the car they are selling greed at its finest
would applying a layer of clear coat on top of this finished product yield better results?
jayzo4444
No, it would cause the clear coat to fail immediately. The surface must be prepped; stripped of any contaminants before spraying, and this would be one of those contaminants.
Niko Delmedico
Prepped how exactly, Niko?
@@joysanders59
One would need to scuff down the whole surface, clean the surface with a wax and grease remover, and then it would be ready for clear to be sprayed.
Niko Delmedico
Thank you so much. I dont know if I can do that myself, but I was an artist so... Im having a lot of health problems but may try when I can. Does temperature outside matter?
I’am sorry want it’s the price thanks so much god bless you god blessed your day & your family
Victor - please go to our web site at oxideoff.com for details on pricing, delivery and shipping. Best Wishes.
in the first image, you had direct sun light to highlight the defects, in the second image, looks like vehicle is overcast. overcast light does not show defects as much. Also, emulsion application took you more than two minutes. Would love to see before and after under controlled lighting. Do another video.
The whole video is self explanatory as the trunk is treated twice from roughly the same viewpoint. The 2 minute reference is the time it took to do the second coat - was probably less than that as the video shows

Soy Mexicano vi tu video, muy interesante, la Emulsion que usaste la podre conseguir aqui en mexico me la traduciria al español. Gracias

Temporary fix is better than just leaving it..
What was that stuff you put on second time around sis you say emulation ??
Same product as the 1st Coat
dear my friend , thanks for you and for this video but how i can give you order? i need one bottel to test it but the problem is , i am in turkey .
please can you reply me
Sorry Baraa but we cannot ship to Turkey due to restrictions on shipping liquids
dear OxideOff thanks for your kind reply , ok i understand that so are you have any delar her in turkey ? please if you have can you able to send his details to me
best regards
Sorry Baraa - we do not have dealerships and only sell from our web site
does this act as a spread on clear coat?
Looks good to me
That emulsion is a temp fix , you should have just sanded it and recleared it with spray 2k clear from the paint store
if you already know then what are you doing here lol
If I ever get a response, can you see the old clear coat paint lines after the new clear?
Hi from Australia, you are right, the damaged clear coat can be seen, especially after exposure to the weather. This method is a dodge some car yards used when getting rid of a cheap car for a better price. If you are going to do it yourself, either use the rusoleum method or 2 pack. Because 2pack is carcinogenic, if you are doing it as home in an enclosed area it will damage your lungs. That’s why most home jobs use enamel. It’s safer.
@@kimkeam2094 I ended up doing it right, sanding it down with 800, colour matched base and new clear, 2000 grit wetsanding after it got cured and polished it, came out great
Glad it worked out well!
Where can I buy this product in Italy? Thanks
Francesco - unfortunately we cannot ship to you due to restrictions on shipping liquids. Thanks for your inquiry and Best Wishes
la mancha sigue igual
Yo what that liquid name
after the 2nd coat of emulsion-solution, can you proceed with wax-buff application?
Yes you can - but remember that if you want apply another coat in say 6 to 12 months time, you will have to get that wax layer off first. Most of our customers are just applying the 2nd coat - it is easier to apply than a waxing and the finish is nearly as good.
Wow!!! Really? Well, I do see tell evidence before me, via the video exhibition, which makes sense to not bother with a waxing application. It seems that this Emulsion-solution is literally the waxing step, itself! Thanks for the clarification, I need to get some of this!
Looks good to me.
is this a long term solution? why did it fail first time?
Paul - the only long term solution is to do a full repaint and clear coat. Why clear coat and the underlying paint either fails or oxidizes is a mystery - bad paint or clear coat, bad adhesion, bad application etc and has been the subject of numerous class action lawsuits, but no real answers as far as we know.
Did you really used the sand paper in circular motion?
Bro it really aint that serious karen
@@M3Eddie Karen? You really called me Karen? Ok, as a professional certified auto detailer let me enlighten you. When you sand it should be in a straight motion so when you buff in circular motion, the buffer is able to erase the lines. If you sand in a circular motion, the buffer will buff parallel to the sanding lines not able to erase them. At first you won't be able to tell because the product is still fresh and shiny but give it a day, you will see the swirl marks of the sanding under the compound, polish and even wax so don't come here calling people "Karen" for no reason (apparently you don't know of what a Karen is) without knowing who the person is because maybe, JUST maybe that person might be a certified professional in the area and will make you look bad. Capish?
Jonathan Molina it doesn’t matter it all looks the same in the end if you put in the effort. Def not reading that long ass rant kiddo. Only thing you’re a professional of is being a professional moron. Enjoy
See you at the paint booth in a few months. Nice gimmic for used car salesman/lots but anyone that knows anything about paint and body work knows that wont last long but good again good for used car sales. Basically sand and apply temporary clear equivalent.
As we state on our web site, the application of this emulsion is not as good as a paint job, but is a DIY at a fraction of the cost.
.
TheRebuilt1 jeez dude calm down, I d9ubt anyone is going to get a pain job that is more expensive than their car is worth. cheap inexpensive temporary fix, for an old car is better than pissing through a bunch of paint just for the car to break down within another 30 to 60k miles.
lotusfreestyle I'm spray painting part of my car it looks quite good as well
I have got 3 20 year old cars. The only place where clear coat is failing is on the collision repaired panels. Original paint and clear coat is still great but every single repainted panel on 3 different cars have clear coat failure in few years. Suffice to say, I have very low opinion of the general body shop and paint places.
Hi, can the vehicle be buffed after this treatment? I don't mean right after but like a couple of weeks after. Can it?
Please read the How to Use doc sent with the product. Thanks
OxideOff You could've just said "yes" or "no"
triky5384 I guess you're on a need to know basis lol
tazmanian devil I asked them to determine if I should buy the product or not. based on their response I don't think they trust their product.
I would not buy it based solely on the response they gave you. That response makes them sound like assholes.
What's the product called?? where can I order it from?
The product is an oxide reducing emulsion and can only be ordered at oxideoff.com
I tried this on two cars with mixed results. At best it's a short term fix, it will return as it never really went away it was concealed.
Probably need to repaint Mark. Expensive though
Will wet sanding and clear coat be better forcan old car?
Maybe Bill. Depends on the underlying paint so don't sand through to the metal and be careful of overspray with the clear coat
@@oxideoff7387 thank you. I have a 05 silverado with peeling paint. Would it work I wet sanded, sprayed a thin coat of color than few coats of clear with a spray can? Just trying to not get rust and look decent.
@@billargueta5458 Bill - our product will not work on top of recently spayed clear coat. You re better off to put on several layers of clear coat
how long will this last ?
How long the finish will last is almost impossible to answer, as it depends on so many variables such as - the current state of the car and the condition of the existing clear coat; the climate where the car is located - temperatures, humidity, proximity to salt water etc; whether the car is garaged - during the day and during the night etc.
As we state on our website, this treatment is not like a repainting job - where all the paint and clear coat is removed and replaced - but it is a DIY at a fraction of the cost.
A very general answer to your question is that it will last about as long as a good waxing.
Where do u buy the stuff ur rubbing on?
Amazon or via our web site at oxideoff.com
How much it would cost in time . Effort & retail sales. Would it be easier to pick a part a new trunk . Or let a pro shop handle it.
This is a Do-It-Yourself procedure that takes little time and effort at a fraction of the cost of getting any sort of professional help. If you can wash a car, you can use this product, but obviously a new trunk will give a better result but at what cost ?
@@oxideoff7387 I drive a 94 Acura vigor. My clear coat is really bad on my hood . However the car runs brand new . Interior is perfect. Yet I'm not changing anything about the paint. Thank you for your reply & your video . No hard feelings I liked what you did there. . Jenn
Honda should have to fix this screw up with the paint clear coat problem, iv got a Civic and facing the same problem
What does the emulsion do?
Our Reducing Emulsion reacts with, and absorbs, oxidized products that have formed on clear coats and paints, and also on fiberglass. The application will provide a glossy finish - not as glossy as a professional repainting - but an easy Do-It-Yourself operation at a fraction of repainting cost.
The emulsion will also remove oxide products that cause the hazy and dull appearance on headlight lenses, providing a brighter appearance and better night time illumination.

where's i got this in Saudi Arabia please
Sorry Munasser but we cannot ship liquids to Saudi Arabia. Thanks for your interest
the color of my car is light grey is it gonna work?
Jommar - It is not common to see oxidation on light colored cars, as the surfaces do not get as hot as on darker colored cars. Our emulsion will improve the look of a light grey car but it probably won’t be as dramatic as on darker colors. If the clear coat has peeled, you the owner, will still be able to see where the clear coat starts again, since you know where to look and our emulsion is not a “filler”. Others who don’t know your car will probably not notice anything.
