I thought for sure I would have to bring it to a body shop and pay a damn deductible. I knew if I went through your channel I would find something to fix it and I did. Thank you for sharing you fixes with us.

  • @newerafrican
    @newerafrican Před 7 měsíci +12

    Another gem, Chris. I started with WD-40 and moved to the rubbing compound. However, my paint scuff must have been a little more substantial, so I recruited my thumbnail with rubbing compound for the more stubborn area of the scuff. It took a while and my hands were a little fatigued but it worked beautifully! You can also feel when the paint has been removed by the smoothness under your thumb. Hopefully, this will remind me to be more careful pulling into the garage! Thanks again!

So I found your video, showed my dad and he thought it was a great video and that we should try it. So after putting in some elbow grease.... It's like it never happened!!!!! It's completely gone!!!!!! I can't believe it. Just wanted to thank you thank you for making this video so much. You seriously saved us so much time and money and I am forever grateful to you!

After a few long minutes of hitting it with some soap and Wd-40 it came right out. After that I waxed it over and it looks like new. Can't thank you enough for all your helpful videos.

Used your easy method and holy crap...it was like the heavens had opened up and gave me access to being a body shop repair guy! HAHA...not really but dear lord I would have never had thought of this in a million years! Thank you for being part of my CZcams University for my car.

    I've used WD-40, with a red or grey scuff pad, to remove heavy oxidation from bare aluminum (engine parts, etc.) and it works very well, for the same reasons you mention. In those circumstances (un-painted, bare metal), it also leaves a nice residue that prevents/minimizes future oxidation or rust (on bare steel).
    Excellent video, as always, and I love the idea of using the magic eraser when dealing with a more delicate surface (OEM clear coat)!
