I took my car to Carmax to get appraised and they offered me 10,400 because the paint needed a “respray” according to them due to several panels having scratches and fine scuffs. I stumbled upon your videos while trying to find a way to remove those blemishes without respraying. I ordered some solvent paint got some pads off amazon and went at it. I’m not going to lie and say everything came back like factory but you really had to look closely to notice the previous damage. I was able to get a higher appraisal and sold my 2017 pathfinder to them for $12,000. You helped me make an extra 1600 dollars! Any way I can buy you a beer?

You jealous Sarah? Lol
Jokes on the guy who will buy the car and scratches will appear once the paint dissapears, you need clear to lock in the new paint.
@@Chris-hw4mqmy thoughts too but he adds in a lacquer to the base paint that he doesn’t really mention
You *think* they gave you more money. Check the paperwork. You probably were given $500 and/or you paid more for the new car. The dealership never loses Bud.
I've been in the motor trade, mechanical and bodywork for 47 years this year and to any naysayers out there, this man knows what he's talking about. Keep up the good work sir 👍
Cheers brother
Thanks for sharing mate I hit my gate this evening and will try this for sure 👍
Those are clearcoat scratches.... he's just polishing the clearcoat ... the paint does absolutely nothing and is just wiped off
@@techniquemtd Exactly. I've buffed out dozens of scratches like this over the last 40-years of car ownership, just using T-Cut.
How long do you leave the paint to dry before buffing?
Finally found a DIY car channel that doesn't drag on for 20 mins, thanks man!
no bs channel
@@cvrpovthat’s why I just subscribed because no BS! And anyone can do at home DIY videos 👍🏻
I hope you carry on like this!
Run it at 1.25 speed. Save 12 minutes of every hour you watch.
How long for the paint to dry?
My Dad used to call this technique, the "Splodge it in, knock it off method". Super result.
Your Dad's name is better
I don't know why your apologising for showing people ways to repair and fix scuff marks on their vehicles. its more people like you are needed to show people like me this method of fixing my cheaply... A perfect job..Thank you for showing this
I’ve used your methods a few times on my driving school cars that have had minor branch scratches and even car park scratch from a inconsiderate driver and have all been easy to deal with, the ones who roast you are likely body shop guys who are pissed you have a cheap easy way to fix damage to a 95% standard that most of us would be super happy with for the fraction of the cost .
Keep up the amazing work and educating / helping others 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
exactly!
Agreed
Bravo.
Do not concern yourself with the negative comments.
You are one of the more intelligent and knowledgeable body repair professionals on UA-cam.
Don't apologise for what you do, it's people like you who I learn things from,thank you.
Can I just say your videos are a god send for ordinary people who can't afford a respray of a complete panel.
These arse holes who leave negative comments are people who are sad, jealous or know no better. It's a fact of life that some will disagree with what you do.
I was a dog handler, we had a saying that three dog handlers would agree. But only on what the fourth handler was doing wrong. Please keep you informative videos coming. Thanks 👍🏻
That's exactly what kind of audience this channel is aimed at Dave. That's why I get annoyed with the comments and negativity. Thanks for the feedback mate
Amazing job! So silly that some people think these types of repairs are faked lol - definitely works, defintely real - no faking here. There is an element of skill and attention to detail that some people lack when trying something like this for the first time. Patience and experience = amazing result! Well done!
Thanks for the comment 👍🏻 its increasingly hard to create engaging content these days!
If its too long people loose interest, if its chopped up to save time people accuse you of faking the repair! Hopefully this video is somewhere inbetween!
Too much idiots exist in the world that's all. I think he should just focus on his awesome craft and let idiots be idiots.
@@darrenlane6744 keyboard warriors 😂😂
Just to confirm I’ve bought paint from here and with my polisher got rid of some bad scratches and graze marks.
@@cvrpov Don't worry if ppl think it's fake, mate. They won't try it. They won't benefit from it and yet they will leave a cranky comment that, in the end will increase your profile here becasue the more negative comments, the more engagement, more chances of your videos randomly appearing to ppl like me who were actually after solid advice. So it's a win win for you and for us who benefited from your expertise. Thanks for the video. Saved me loads of time and money!
This is what being a CC on UA-cam is all about information and helpfulness. Cheers from one CC to another great work mate
Amazing results as always, yet so simple method! Thank you!
Without doubt, one of the best car paint repair videos I've watched, thanks for your time and effort.
I would just like to say thanks for sharing and for the few people that are negative, their are lots more people that are really pleased you take the time and effort to share your knowledge cheers.
This is great! I have almost exactly this kind of damage and watching this video has given me the confidence to give repairing it a try. Thanks.
love the fact you documented the whole process without to many cuts, makes it seem more realistic and easier to follow along, earnt my sub!
Great video! I like the results from using a drill instead of spending a ton at the body shop. Gonna have to give tunedbyai a shot too for new design ideas.
The drill vids are always a winner
@@cvrpovwhere can I purchase this same paint I have flint grey . Metallic
@@Yahweh_7any paint supplier will mix the colour for you, what manufacturer is it? Off the top of my head I know Ford did a flint grey ( I used to own a sapphire cosworth in flint grey) but I dare say other manufacturers have used the name at some point too. If it’s available for your car an off the shelf touch up will do, just put your finger over the end and forget using the little brush 👍
@@gimble447 Mercedes
I tried this method after watching this video and can't believe how well it turned out. thanks for the top tips!
Great to hear!
Do you not let the paint dry first? It didn't look like he waited for it to dry. If you do wait, how long?
Great video. I'm a headlight restorer and this was very helpful.
I have never thought you do anything underhand , I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your skills really appreciate the videos.
Genius as ever! The hints and tips have saved me loads of heartache and more importantly cash over the years. THANK YOU!
You're very welcome!
Amazing results! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
My pleasure!
Such a simple technique, brilliant! Will definitely use this on my lovely old clk 430
What a great DIY technique. I really appreciate you sharing this method. Thanks.
Spot on mate, keep up the great work and content that you’re doing. You’ll never please everyone but don’t let that deter you. Some great advice for people like myself who want to try these little tips at home without expecting it to look brand new.
Appreciate the comments mate thanks
There's a saying "you can't please all the people all the time." Those people make the most noise and bring everyone down too. I liked what you are doing. It has been useful where I work in a used car yard I'm at. Keep these tips coming. They have been hugely helpful.
These tips have made me a lot of money and saved people a lot of money. Hopefully others are feeling the benefits off of the back of the videos.
Regarding the comments, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, screech." Teach on, kind sir. We love it.
Excellent work by a very skilled detailing expert.
Well done. Quick and qualitative result
I'm just a petrol head, home DIY'er, and enjoy keeping my little BMW and assorted toys in tip-top condition. I don't have the budget to pay a detailer, much less a body shop, to handle any nicks and chips, so I've begun learning to do my own paint and body work. This tip looks to be a fantastic time saver. So much so, that I in fact popped over to Amazon and purchased a set of 3" polishing pads and backing plate for a drill. Greatly appreciate your video!
Excellent video once again. I had the exact same problem with a scuff mark on the wheel arch on my last car, which I managed to repair using the method you showed in one of your earlier videos. The scuff was more than 30cm long so my scratch repair insurance would't cover it! So I took the plunge after watching your channel and it came up beautifully. Needless to say I haven't taken out scratch insurance on my new car! Your brilliant channel gave me the courage to tackle jobs I would't have dared to, so thank you so much. I really appreciate what you do.
That's awesome mate fair play
I'm glad UA-cam sent this video my way. I have a three year old car that has been scratched in a car park (I guess this is quite a common occurrence), so this will help me immensely. I love the way you explain the process - thank you so much.
Thanks for your video. Try and ignore all those who give you grief. I appreciate your work
Great video and really enjoy following your channel on all sort of repairs. Just purchased one of your full wheel repair kits after watching your wheel refurb videos as I have several to do!
Nice one, have fun 👍🏻
New to your channel. Enjoyed it. I've been a mechanic and car flipper for 45 years. I do exactly this when I refurbished a vehicle paint. But I always a dewaxing. I feel like any residual wax/polish will hinder the he ability of the paint adhering properly. I learned so much the hard way, nothing like U-Tube then. With all the fantastic channels here there's no reason why anyone can maintain their vehicles and make them last forever ! Great job. Thank you.
No probs man
I've tried this and it worked ! Thanks for the tips, best regards from Holland
Brilliant thankyou gave me the confidence to sort these chips and scratches myself.
1st time viewer of the channel and not I'm subbed. Fantastic video, easy to understand, didn't miss out any steps, no pointless filler/BS. Keep up the good work! 💪
Nice one. Welcome
Thank god i found your youtube channel!
I had a hire car that someone scratched while it was parked. There was no way i could afford the repairs even with insurance. I followed your instructions and it worked! Thank you very much!
Great stuff
Looks great and seems simple, I'll have to try this. Thanks!
Brilliant work bud. Thanks for your expertise.
This chap is a genius his skills work as I have done this repair on my own 53 plate rav 😊
Great to hear!
best channel for real tips that actually work
Appreciate the comment mate thankyou
@@cvrpovHOW LONG TO LEAVE NEW PAINT BEFORE BUFFING?
I'll be trying this for sure thanks very much very informative and well illustrated 😊
Thanks for the remarkable tip. It looks so much better and sure meets my expectation. Will give it a try on my daily driver just because I would enjoy the improvement.
I have a nice silver metallic car and some envious person keyed the car full length of both sides. Most of the scratches were not too deep and only in the clear coat, so they did polish out. There is one deep area on the drivers door which is 2 inches long and through the base coat and I have been pondering how to fix that. Well I think you have just given me the solution.
Thank you so much.
Worth a go mate but silver is not a great colour for touch up work
Thank you. I have two 2020 cars with similar issues and now will try to fix them using this video. It might be time for a new tire on the car you repaired though. Cheers mate, you are an awesome person. If you are ever in Los Angeles, look me up. my wife and I usually have a spare bedroom.
Really appreciate the offer brother
Amazing! Superb result for a minimal cost and not much time!
Thank you so much, I can now repair the minor scratches on my new car! You are terrific!
Thanks for your time, and knowledge. I use your videos to keep my ‘78 W150 in trophy show condition, and my Wife’s 2012 Mustang, Club Edition in Lava Red free of stone chips. This video was perfect to fix a bumper scuff. Other guys in the club are asking me to fix stone chips on their cars as well.
Those that can teach, those that can’t claim they know. Ignore the naysayers, they are irrelevant.
Great feedback mate thanks its appreciated
Perfect way of maintaining your car without spending excessive amounts of money on invisible details! Great job! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for your time and sharing valuable info 👌
Great video! Will be starting my detail journey soon!
I've just watched this and applied this process to a scratch at the bottom of my front Spoiler. It actually worked well. Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺
Mate, whoever is questioning your videos, they need to get a grip. Absolutely fantastic, matey 😎🤙🏽
Really helpful video, thanks for uploading it. I’ve got a couple of minor scuffs - one on front the front bumper and a very small one on the rear bumper. I’ll definitely give this a try - thanks again!
Good job ! Thanks for sharing your experience
I can’t understand why anyone would criticise you, please don’t stop making these tutorials, can I ask a question, how does the G360 compare to T-cut?
Thanks for what your doing, Ken
Hi, In your opinion, which paste is better?
Exactly how long did you let the paint dry before you polish it off?
Perhaps I missed you saying.
And ignore the trolls, they're a fact of life. Another fact is that lots of us appreciate your help to simply fix stuff, save money, and make our cars look better. THANKS!!
X2
Great video. I’ll give this a try. Many thanks for sharing your expertise.
That came out very well! Thank you so much for showing!
Mate, I've followed your account for a long time now and, as a novice repairer on my vehicles and family vehicles, your tips and quality of work has helped me immeasurably. Those that criticise you are only envious of you so, bugger those that are critical, bring on the enthusiasts. 🇦🇺 from you Aussie friends.
awesome Rob, that's what its all about here
Greats tips, thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate appreciate the feedback
@cvrpov
Bought your full touch up kit
Do you do this with your solvent paint with the Gloss enhancer or without?
Greetings from Sweden
This video is great and I've now ordered a buffing kit to get rid of a couple of scratches on our car. Thanks 😄
That is an amazing repair. Thank you for sharing this.
Nice one as always mate. The people that accuse you of faking things really don't know what they are on about lol
Cheers mate. If i didn't chop and edit the vids they would be hours long and no one would watch them
Superb job, i thought you might wet sand the paint smear first to level it then polish, but no need,an even faster job. I taught myself how to machine polish paint 17 years ago. I could watch these videos all day long, always something new to learn and im almost 56 years old . 👍🙌
Im always learning too mate, thats what keeps it interesting.
Fantastic no nonsense video.. I’ll be giving this a go on my van. No need to throw a load of money at it, cheers mate keep up the good work
Good work! Thanks for making this helpful video!
In your area, what would you suggest is a decent price to ask for this job? Which is a bloody good job mind you! Liked the vid, and have already been a subscriber for ages. 👍
Price accordingly to how much time you have spent, how much the method results worked and also the saving you've made the client compared to respray.
I know your stuff is legit... I just have so many unanswered questions because I'm dumb as fuck. I guess I'll buy a subscription and start asking 😂
Done plenty of similar content mate, have a look through the playlists
@cvrpov I been watching and I seen almost all of them
Been watching your vids for a week now and what I see is amazing, needless to say I've bought some pads, polish and a polisher off amazon and going to have a crack on mine and wife's cars. Thanks for the great vids and tips. Keep the content coming.
Cheers. 👍🏻
Wow! Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience. Cheers
Great repair, thanks for the tips on products used! 👍👍
Forget the haters. Thanks for taking the TIME to make these videos.
I thought your video was really good and explained very well. How refreshing !!
Thank you for your time always great video helps me a lot 🙏🏻
Brilliant... I have just bought Peugeot Partner Tepee to use as a van and micro camper. Previous owner was an older gent and it is covered around the door handles with minor scratches. I might have a go at fixing them myself now I have seen this
This is the method I am looking for- thank you man !
This is brilliant! I always suspected there was a way to do something like this for minor scratches but this is the first time I've seen it. I will be doing this on my car. Used car, previous owner wasn't 100% careful around the corners of the bumpers
I've just picked up some light damage on my offside rear wing, light scratches but some have broken through the paint slightly.
I never thaught to rub some paint in first with my finger.
Tried it and I'm extremely happy with the results.
Thanks for a great informative video.
I Stand up and Salute You... Thank you Sir for your Expertise and sharing your time and help. It sure did HELP ME 😊
Really impressive work, thanks for sharing its greatly appreciated!
Thank you for a professional, well presented video that demonstrates the level of skill and experience that you bring to everyone. Well done. I'm now a subscriber!!
Thanks for this demo. I’ve had scratches like this repaired on my car before and paid hundreds of £. I always wondered how it was done as I knew it wasn’t a respray. Now I can do it myself and save a fortune.
Got plenty of similar scuffs like this on all my cars ever since the missus and my kid learned how to drive. I appreciate you sharing this
Usually the case mate ha
Stumbled on this channel not long ago and subscribed instantly. I'm trying to bring this work into my detail business as an add on. I appreciate this alot. You do amazing work. A true master at his craft. Thank you!
Welcome aboard!
Really appreciate the tips with the scratch repairs. It’s really given me the confidence now to have a shot myself at those minor spots of scratches that are the inevitable sign of an aging car just like an aging body that holds an already aged moth-eaten wallet. You’re a bloody life saver. Thanks.👍🏼
No problem mate
I’ve got to say, I’ve just tried this out on my pride and joy and I was so surprised to find out that it actually works! Mind you, larger flakes of paint and deep scratches weren’t solved completely but definitely enhanced the look, smaller scratches worked a treat! I’m going to keep on going today when I get more time, thank you very much for the video!
The video could have been shortened by at least half, but thank you very much for the impressive result. I had no clue it could be fixed so easiely.
Great work - many thanks!
I thought I’d have to just live with the scratches on my new-to-me late model black truck. Definitely giving this a try! Thank you !
Great work, and thanks for sharing. Certainly going to give this a go!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and showing us how we can fix small things like this ourselves! Please ignore the negative people, we know and appreciate you!
Great job! Very helpful and informative!
Some really good advice, I'll be trying this on my car this weekend 👍
Excellent video!!! THANKS!!!
Right up my alley!!😊
Impressive and thank you for the genuine help, going to do it as soon as it stops raining,,,,,
Yes brilliant.
As a vehicle restorer I've used this technique many times.
Brilliant for car park scratches and good enough that the human eye can't really see any residual damage/ deep scratches from standing near the vehicle.
Brilliant video thanks for all the useful information and links
I love watch the paint dry!!! Thanks for a great useful video.
Thx ! Really simple and easy.
Much better result than what I used to do.
Now, I'm getting old enough to have the money to pay a detailer. He will have to watch your videos first !!!
