    Just to say thanks where thanks is due. I'm starting from 'scratch' when it comes to taking care of my car so every bit of help is appreciated. Mike

      My 2 cents If you have a old hood or door and are willing to purchase a good *buffer ( *$230 -$500 ) sand paper, pads, chemicals etc.practice removing a variety of self inflicted scratches. If don't have the proper tools and have never buffed and or color sanded a vehicles paint, I don't recommend practicing on a newer paint job or one your bank still owns. In that case its best to pay a professional to color sand and buff the vehicles paint. Shop around and talk to people who have had their vehicle detailed. Good luck

    I'm confused why people are leaving comments about 'don't do it', 'it'll ruin your paint', etc. The point of the video is to say it IS bullshit and doesn't work. Didn't you watch the whole thing? He's debunking the myth, HELLOOO!

    I mean yeah it doesn’t fix scratches but it does a great job of covering them up. It’s not dangerous and it’s cheap. Obviously if you have lots of money get it done by a pro. But if you’ve swapped paint with a badly parked car this is really good !

  • @daltonvaughn1995

    Great Videos...I have my work cut out for me on my C4 Corvette. A small piece of sandpaper somehow got stuck to the microfiber towel I was using to buff out Mother's Spray and wax. I put scratches all over the car. A pro shop in town, "Classic Coach", advised me that the clear coat on a 1985 Corvette is very thin. I have the wool pad, Mother's #10 cutting and a good buffer, I'm just afraid of trying it. Hope the WD-40 works instead...

    yes temporary but when the wd 40 wears off the scratches will show you need to buy a good buffer pad with light white compound polish and a sealer wax after for permanent scratch removal

  • @slammer3825

    wd-40 breakes down the paint so it runs, lightly buff it in scratch then clean all the wd-40 off you dont scrub it hard you take off the paint that was in the scratch's back out and spray a clear coat, itll last quite a while but also its meant for smaller with that size you did it dont get enough paint transfer, iv used on head lights too but you do have to do scrub hard to make sure all the wd-40 is gone or it will ruin the covers the put clear coat on and that last quite a while too

My dilemma is that I installed new air-conditioning compressor when I was done with I started the car and the rpms shot up to 5000rpms so I replaced all the sensors but two my oxygen sensors. I also have to shut it down because it would over heat and I didn't want anything to happen to the engine. So what do you think it could be. Thank you
