      My brand new car got keyed. I just watched both videos on how to fix the scratches. ONE QUESTION. will the fixed area always need waxed. After getting a car wash or just over time, will that certain area look hazy and or not like the rest of the car and need to be waxed or polished all the time?

    Chris, you saved my neck on this one! I accidentally scratched the wife's car while moving something in the garage. I was going to fess up, but I knew that she would hold that over me and be pissed at me, even though it was purely accidental. So I bought all the supplies on Amazon right away, yet, it was difficult to pull off, because she's been working from home exclusively for 2 years, so it's she's home 99% of the time, and when she's not home, she's in her car. I was waiting for the moment when she would be away from home, but not in her car, so I could work on it. Finally, about 2 weeks ago, her mom picked her up and they were out for about 2 to 3 hours. The clock was ticking. I was nervous that I was going to screw it up and make it much worse, then I would have been completely screwed. I was trying to finish before she showed up, so I didn't get caught in the act! I followed all the steps, and of course, after the sandpaper steps, it looked awful. Would it come out with the polish? Well, it did, and the wax took care of the rest. I was so pleased at how this worked, as previously, I could feel the scratch with my fingernail, and it didn't come out with polish alone....a few days later, I washed and waxed her entire vehicle, and the car looks great. There is one more fine scratch (not my fault) on the car, and I'm going to work on that next, that one is less severe than the one I caused. You're a life-saver Chris!

      Great story that I can relate to. It's like fighting a battle in two fronts. First, you have to deal with the job at hand and your gut wrenching remorse at scratching the car and whether it not you'll be successful. Second, you have to deal with the wife and wait for that sweet moment when she's away and hoping you have enough time and that you will be successful. Good thing she didn't forget her umbrella and return 5 minutes into your project.

    Thank you Chris!! I never write comments but I had to give my experience. Someone scratched my car a couple of months ago in a parking structure and didn't leave a note. It was about 2 feet long, had the other car's red paint on my black car as well as a dent. I got quoted from 3 different companies the highest being $1400 for the repair. Fast forward I just thought I would have to live with the scratch on my car but then I saw this video immediately bought the supplies (as well as a dent remover) and was able to remove the remnants of the scratch even the other car's paint which I was super surprised. It looks night and day different. I am so happy with the results and this cost me less than $30. I am so grateful thank you Chris!!

When I wiped the scratches with a Clorox wipe to get the yellow paint off, most of the scratches disappeared, while it was wet. So, I was happy to know the scratches weren't too bad. I just did it know how to remove them, but now I know.

Nothing was done about it and there was no reason for the vehicle to be searched. The cop's excuse for it was that the dog smelled "hard drugs" and that they are only trained to smell out "hard drugs". All my sister had in the car was her medications for her heart problems and other medical issues. Still pretty sad that nothing was done about it.

    I wanted to personally thank you for your videos. I came across these after I scratched my brand new car bad one night. I was devastated but then your vids gave me some hope I could fix things. I bought the things you suggested, took a few hours but it worked out incredibly. I have a few other scratches I need to watch your other video to fix, they are deeper. If I could add pics before and after I would to show you. But I’m a fan, and have subscribed. Thanks for the help.

      Same here a dog scratched my new car and I was heated and wanted to yell at the owner, but it was an accident. Thankfully there is a solution.

    Thank you for this video, I went to a body shop today to get some minor scratches off my car and they estimated the repair to be at least $3K. I found your video and decided to grab everything you mentioned for about $60. Spent an hour and got my car cleaned up great!
