- Someone scratched the s*^t out of Marty's MIRA Bonnet. In this video we experiment with some not so common methods to repair it like avocado and urine (and some common ones too!)

just purchased one 😀 any chance i can get a personalised msg on the back from you guys?
Nice
Buying one now
dooone ordered 👍
Mine on its way
Damn, the Mira got Kei'd In The City
😆
That is the best comment I've heard all day
You sir, win the internet for today!
yep well done
this comment is underrated
Disrespected Mira, actually emotional 😥
cHeRrY gUtS
After watching AMMO NYC this is definitely different 😂
a little bit lol
😂
yep. Watching them just put more and more product on the part as if that helps against scratches .
Guess you could say it has a... Mira finish now.
I'll let myself out 😂
No kidding, why in the world do you put your stuff on cars of others. The nerve of some people
I bought a new black car getting mystery damage on a monthly basis. Once I was walking back from the beach and a group was getting out of a brown Mercedes with there ice chest on my hood. Yeah, as they walk away I surveyed the damage and let them know of the level of my displeasure with a metal washer l found on the ground.
necessaryevil455 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I got really triggered when he said people do that
@@necessaryevil455 Get in, drive away with their ice chest on your hood still.....
In all seriousness I would've been f*cking pissed. I don't blame you for returning the favor.
@@TheGreatMunky id just take the ice chest and put it in the trunk and then drive away
Whoever is responsible for this must be found and forced to drink the seat juice from the Mira.
And eat the pubes!!!
Just make them drink the home made polishing compound...
Or the toothpaste urine
Y E S
no, from the TRD lazer
6:45 DO NOT USE A GRINDER!
A buffer spins much slower, if you use a grinder with even the lightest compound you WILL cut right through your clear coat! Dont ask me how i know... :D
I was literally yelling “ just stop! Not so much!!”
Props to Truong, the real hero of this episode, for setting the paint right!
Ooooh.. I don't know.. Uneven wetsand with no sanding block, doing both compounding and polishing with a rotary machine.. I'm afraid that's going to be hologram hell looking at the fast movement of the machine.
Gold is a relatively soft metal...that probably explains how someone scratched the NUGGET!!!
you're using enough compound to do a hood let alone a tiny section of a panel, overloading the pad reduces how well it works massively :)
The hood?.. you could literally machine polish a full car with how much compound he put on the panel at 11:42
*Marty:"compound, which is another word for polish"
*Every detailer watching: aight imma head out.
Glad you could restore the nugget though! The nerve of some people to abuse someone's freshly painted car like that..
I just wanna know who TF uses SOMEONE ELSES CAR to set their stuff on??
ive never heard or seen this before but marty talked like it was a common thing and moog knew exactly what he was talking about. like if i need to set stuff down i can put it on the roof of my own car putting it on someone elses makes no sense
@@blitzyosrs2104 I'd never even put anything on my own car. If I need to set something down it goes on the ground.
They should be shot.
Karens.
You be suprised. Some ppl just open there doors into your yours without a clue in the world.
10:48 Going HAM on the product 😮. You only need a fraction of that for the whole panel.
and apply in circular motions not scrubbing it like a dirty pan...
Yes little too much product. Haha they prob didn't pay $70 + a ltr
I was thinking the same thing. That was cringeworthy.
I cringed as Marty dropped the foam applicator on the floor.... Guarantee he didn't wash the dirt off it before smooshing it into the paint.
I LOVE episodes like these. I can't believe you can actually fix stuff like that. Gotta love experienced people working properly like that.
Also, WHO THE HELL DOES THAT? Like, in my entire life I have never once touched someone else's car let alone dumped things on them, nor have I littered anywhere. And it's not like it was difficult or a huge sacrifice; it's so easy to not be a complete jerk! WTF man...
Good on you guys for taking time to teach us how to fix stuff vs just tearing into random person on social media. Truly mature and humble of you guys. Keep it up.
As a detailer for Porsches and lots of other German autos, the biggest things I have taken away from it is: touch your paint as little as possible and the importance of a dual action polisher and microfiber buffing pads together cannot be understated and is a must have tool set for us enthusiasts.
As a fellow detailer I couldn't agree more, the more you can protect your paint and the less you have to use polishes and compounds the keep the shine the better
That’s my theory about windscreen glass. NEVER touch the inside windscreen: it will never be unsmudged again.
Ping Chen Your theory is all wrong.
Ping Chen , metho and water on glass is the go! 👍
@@fordbloke4790 what's metho? I usually use diluted vinegar on glass. Magic erasers are great for individual smudges, too.
people have no respect for other peoples cars
sucks =(
I remember when I bought my second car (second hand around 5k, still amazing to me mk4 golf with a sunroof) went out to lunch lady parked next to us, go out her car bang goes the door on my car wow
420apache657 people always do shit like this it really gets on my nerves, especially when you’re sitting inside your car and hear the noise of the door
My guess is it was because it's a Mira.
It's highly unlikely regular joes and janes at the shops would know the amount of love and effort put into this particular Mira. The act of putting your stuff on other people's cars is NOT OKAY but I can see how an inconsiderate twat would do such a thing, they simply don't or can't appreciate the Mira at first glance.
@@apache1234657 I've had that happen to me when I've been sat in my car and when I told them they just banged their door against mine they flat out denied they had 😂 some people are just not right.
It also tends to be the older generation who do it as well and they always go on about young people having no respect 😠
@@podboi825 even if it was a POS beater, nobody should be piling their things on someone else's car. We should have some respect for our fellow humans, even if they aren't present.
"It's Just a Car" I have heard a LOT of people say that when they bang their door into your vehicle, scuff it with a trolley or rub past it. THEN when car owners start parking their vehicle on the white lines to stop people getting too close and scratching their cars they become enemy number one. Sad times.
To some people, a car is just a way to get from Point A to Point B.
But to people like us it IS the Point.
Not to mension those people lower the resale value of the car by damaging it.
parking on the white lines to keep people from parking too close means i will park nearly in contact with your car blocking the drivers side door if given the chance. like if you do it in the back of a lot with tons of empty spaces fine whatever but if you do it in a crowded lot you're just asking for someone to hit your car trying to squeeze in
Im glad that I could support the channel!!! Just bought a madd JDM MIRA poster.
The old mighty car mods would’ve used Carbon fiber wrap and clear coat over it easy fix the legit stuff 🤣
The fact that someone thought "oh I'll just use this persons car as a shelf for my things" is disgusting. Don't touch other peoples cars!
Prob sat on it for a fan pic ironically
Unfortunately most people only view cars as an appliance. It’d be like setting your drink on top of someone’s washer or dryer to them.
@@coreyscarrepairs why would you be setting your drink on a stranger's washer or dryer?? That's equally disrespectful, not to mention it would require breaking into their home as well
I really appreciate Moogs Empathy for Marty, he knows the feeling when someone disrespect your Car
Or your nose
SO glad you guys are still doing your core DIY stuff and not just massive, costly builds
helpful tip from a pro detailer: the less product the better, whether it be machine or by hand. more liquid means more sloshing it around. and continue to clean the pads often. if by hand, the 1 minute rule (1 minute of work, spray with a little water and brush out with a tooth brush and resume) if by machine, after each panel.
The level of hack in this video is 2010 levels of MCM.
Step 1) Jack up ya car!
Marty is great for being chill and still able to make this video.
Got the first poster, and now just bought the second one! Love your work guys! Jestami is an amazing artist, no question.
We must find the maniac who mangled Marty's Mira.
Thanks Cptn Turbot!
That inconsiderate, disrespectful person shall from now on be called "The Mira Mangling Maniac".
Needed 3M to get rid of the aftermath too, fitting.
WHO THE HELL PUTS STUFF ON SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR?!?
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING
It was really fun watching you guys actually show HOW to do something again, like back in the day when that's actually what this show was about! You guys should do more like this
This takes me back to the early years of mcm on the driveway working with relatively cheap stuff on fun little nuggets. It’s nice to see see them making a video about something so universal anybody can do to literally any car by just popping down to the local auto parts store and having a browse around.
I bet someone sat on the hood and took a "spotted the MCM Mira!" picture then scratched it with their ass while getting back off the car. Still a complete disrespect of someones stuff obviously. I bet with enough searching you could even find the picture
Sounds oddly specifc...
You're probably right. Can you imagine the guilt they would (hopefully) be feeling watching this if they're a true fan of MCM?
@@TheGreatMunky If they are a true fan they would fess up and admit they did it and apologize to Marty...
I think it's just an inconsiderate twat who sees no issue with putting stuff on cars that are not theirs.
I think this is correct due to the turn and have first hand seen a similar swirl on my car after someone sat on the trunk.
Likely jeans 😑
@@jw18xxx Jeans also have rivets/buttons that do this. :(
Hang on..
DO NOT PUT YOUR SHOPPING ON OTHER PPLS CAR.
THE END.
im trying to understand this tbh like marty and moog said it like it was a normal thing but ive never seen it or even thought to do such a thing if i really need to put my stuff down would go on my roof gently or on the ground. i just dont understand why you would ever touch a strangers car...
@@blitzyosrs2104 I have only seen it once, was on my brother's car. He immediately went outside and told him off.
I appreciate a lot the discrete way in which you are promoting your sponsors. These days, watching any content that is entertaining / informative and free means putting up with 5 minutes of "THIS VIDEO WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY SKILLSHARE"... etc.
Thank you
Love you guys, finally some original “flashback” video 🤘
The Mira is probably my favorite movie/build you’ve guys have done, never ordered something so quickly before
Man, if I ever catch someone putting their shopping on my car in a parking lot, I would lay them out on the ground, that's just rude.
I got called a asshole once for having a go at someone for putting shit on my car.
No no. Put your shopping on their car too. They dont have the right to complain anyway.
Ahhh this was such a cool episode, takes me back to the days I worked in a dealership car detailing shed where I was taught by a master in the craft! Such a rewarding skill to have.
Just ordered my poster, you guys are awesome, because you haven't changed your format
I am literally an hour away from polishing my car and removing scratches and this pops up 👍🏽 mcm is amazing
have fun
I hope you have been drinking a healthy amount of water. You don't want your most important polishing ingredient be all ammoniacal.
Is putting your shopping on another person's car an Aussie thing? I've never seen anyone do that, and I live in a country where about half the country are selfish idiots.
probably happens alot in USA too
Probably more of a Sydney thing
@@kiko865 Surprisingly I have never seen it in the USA, and people here are self-centered idiots.
I live in Hawaii. Doing so will result in the summoning of 1000 angry Samoans ready to fight you for putting your shopping on the hood of their beat up 2002 Chevy Suburban.
That’s likely why no one here is that stupid enough to do that.
@@cah7516 happened to my aunt's car, twice, each side of the hood. might not be as common as i was thinking then
Nice to see you guys doing something a bit more useful for the masses than just the expensive stuff you've been doing lately. Back to your roots guys. Thanks
Ordered the poster! Love the saga of the little JDM nugget and you guys have entertained for a long time so worth it!! 😎😁
”Don’t put stuff on other peoples cars”, 5 minutes later resting a poster up against the Mira 😂
I came to the comments to say the same thing haha!
djnmv, me too! See above haha
well technically it aint another persons car
@@assasine08 technically it is, Moog put it against Marty's car..
@@djnmv you're right. I just thought since they both put so much work in it that not is kinda like a foster parent?
"The professional one is the most professional"
Hard hitting truths only.
Great video. Loved seeing the car content thats different than your norm.
Best episode in ages. Love the down to earth real mcm. Don’t get my wrong watching them swap transmissions out of scoobies is great but this is the stuff that really matters.
I’ve watched a lot of videos on detailing but this actually taught me things I didn’t know.
Nice and educational and not stuff that’s out of everyday people’s price range.
You guys are legends but I wish you'd do a Commodore build and i love your builds my fav series is the lend a car one again you guys are legends
It was probably a wild Karen that put the box on your car, because she saw the reflection of her grumpy face in the hood of your car.
For them its a Cheryl I think 😂
Chris EJ well that explains the box 📦 🤣🤣
Well done , loved this show!
love you guys, thanks for all the entertainment all of these years
Moog: "The professional one is the most professional" - cheers moog!
If i caught someone putting their stuff on my car I'd snap 😂
I dont think I've ever been advertised a poster and proceeded to buy it in 5 minutes before! Phenomenal poster, love the style!
Good work Turing a shitty situation into an opportunity for an old Sokol MCM episode!
The best thing to come out of all this is that we now know Marty does actually use the Mira to go to the shops as it was built (by Daihatsu) to do. Cool.
After that much work, I would have been crying for days to find it scratched like that!
_"someone put something on my car and scratched it"_
Im sorry *WHAT*
all the dislikes are from the people that put stuff on other people's cars...
I love this episode. Brings me back to the good olds days of DIY and what works best or not at all. This type of video is why I subbed in the first place back when you guys were passing out off of fumes and singing ELECTRIC SPACE WIZARD. More please.
Great episode guys
Been wanting to buff my car myself for a while
Hearing a Vietnamese accent mixed with an Australian accent is very unique.
*lebo accent
He's an absolute legend, but sounds a little like KORG ( Rock creature from Thor: Ragnarok)
@@earlyre that's a very over done kiwi accent, fun fact that's also the director.
“Toothpiste “, ask for it by name
Kiwi brand bro?
Yep, best worn with a safety jandal 👌👌
Thats terrible that someone just dragged some stuff on the car.. I treat other people's car like my own. I have been watching your channel for a long time, and you guys have come a long way.
JUST the video I needed, got a door ding and can't wait to test out the new machine polisher! perfect timing
16:31 "we're just gonna keep rubbing the skin until the goo comes out"
Also Moog said "waxing a doplhin". :D
Does he know he says dirty funny shit like that or are we perverted?
all the dad loaded smutty jokes are never lost on me haha
As a detailer watching that first bit was painful
Yeah. Very odd. Also supprised the Painter dude didnt hit it with a DA.
Agreed. And they called meguiars polish a cutting compound 🤦♂️
MrHedeom meguiars ultimate compound is what they would have been using rather than polish.
Yeah!
I'm the guy who framed up the last two posters, and you liked my tweet! I ordered this one within the same minute that I got the email about it, so it can go on the same wall with the other two!
That Mira looks so sick! Well done guys.
This is the biggest reason why I never park next to a median with ROCKS.
Because of people with boxes?
@@raynman6466 😂
"You see it all the time" here in the states you never see stuff like that if someone is gonna mess with your car it's out of malice not laziness that's crazy
agreed. ive never had someone put anything on my car except my girl (who was promptly told to NEVER do that again.) we do have our fair share of idiot drivers who will back into your car and drive away like they did nothing though.
Nice result! It’s got a Mira finish!
You guys made me weep with how much product you guys where using apart from that great home job info!
Put a dash cam in it that continually records. Id be so peeed if that was me. Also be looking for footage to find the person to send the bill to
The avocados are more expensive then the compound :D
Nice to see the Mira-like finish restored
Trung really is a legend!
They should make an MCM polish compound, and call it “paint chop”✌️
The satisfaction after that mirror finish is incomparable..
Good video mates, I was missing MCM old school repairs
"Which will help achieve a Mira finish"
Avacodo is like a claybar I guess? 🤷♂️
Just bought my poster! awesome guys cheers!
Triggered so much when people disrespect others cars. Good reminder though of the stages involved when restoring paint. Missed out on the first signed posters but so happy I managed to get on this one. Keep up the good work entertaining us boys 🤟
you could almost say its a "mira" finish
Watched the whole episode and was quite disjointed that Marty and Moog missed their chance on using this pun.
tehgoose82 ikr would’ve been so good
This is why my car is like new i get scared of someone scratching it
excellent video ! more mira please
Man i ordered that poster from you guys but my post office lost it, i was excited to get something signed from you guys, I loved the build
I’m in California, I never use people’s cars as shelves, and have never seen anyone do that here at all. Where does this happen? They would get a beating here if that’s the case.
I can't tell you how many scratches I have buffed out of my cars from those idiots that lean on your car to put flyers on my windshields. San Diego is the worst.
@@unclemuir you're right, Ive seen that and I don't like it either, but, I have never seen anyone place their belongings on other peoples car.
Difference between a painter and “detailer”
Detailer says this is a 6 stage paint correction process bla bla and will cost $3000
Painter says I’ll sand it then buff it. Lol
Yeah but they leave it looking like they sanded and buffed it.
CarlDSLR found the detailer!!!
looked a lot like a black mirror to me in this video
The painter knows how much clear he has to work with. A detailer is normally working with older paintjobs and doesn't want to get down to the base.
@@EmyrDerfel it can be measured
To be honest this videos been quite helpful.
Ive kept my car religiously clean and washed, but havent been able to get that perfect shine Ive wanted.
A nice polish is probably exactly what it needs
Love these videos, reminds me of the early MCM days. Put under glows on something.
Two things: 1. Marty never refers to Moog by name (any name). Its always 'Hey, mate' or 'Bro.'
2. I don't think I've ever seen Moog without a hat.
3. Moog always calls Marty Martin
its an ozzie thing
also a get outta jail free card when you cant remember their name
@@Gerarghini which is what makes it stand out that Marty never uses a name for him.
Might not have been a box to be honest, it could’ve just been kei’d a lot
Kei’d ?!?!
dazgreen scratching with a key
tecnogadget2 wouldn’t that be ‘keyed’’?!As in key
@@dazgreen it's a pun
Duncan Williams oh!! Wow that went straight over my head 😬😂
loved the first poster i bought the new one as soon as it was shown in the video, gonna look sick side by side in the garage
I love how Marty and Moog saw that their beloved mira was basically unintentionally vandalized and they literally said "hey let's make a video on how to help people fix scratches on their car that got there from other unobservant bell ends resting their crap on other people's cars" such good guys, seriously 👍
Love the mid stuff!! Can’t beat a bit of meguiars compound
Omg I just read the plates on the front and I love it. Ke1-2-ct
The end result was impressive, you really got a mira finish on that paint
Just ordered a poster and a sticker!! you guys rock :D Hi from Scotland!!!!
