Over the years cars take a beating from the elements. some parts of the country are worse than others. The effect of oxidization on a paint job can be severe but not impossible to fix. Watch along as I take a 99' Toyota Tocoma and restore it's severely weathered paint back to almost the day it came out of the factory.
I was surprised to find out that this truck is actually red. Total time spent was a few days. This was largely do to the fact that like most of us I have a J. O. B. to work around. but regardless I applied myself and spent $65 saving the owner from a $1500 respray.

I just buffed an oxidized white Tacoma after watching this ! I used Chemical Guys white light with a medium foam pad and it brought all the clear back to life. Thanks for the tips
You’re a hard worker Paul and that result was unreal. Totally different truck now. Nice work my man!! Keep it up
$65 in materials and a $1000 in labor bud! You busted your balls on that truck! Great, great job! I'm totally inspired to do my '97 Ram.
65$ in material but you need two polishers worth in between 200$ and 800$ to do the job. If you want to be really cheap you could grab a rotary and a dual action polisher at Harbour Freight for 50$ each. And you need to know how to use the rotary or you will burn through the edges. I would have liked to see a close up on the painted areas he did. Looks good from 10 feet away but impossible to say what it look like up close. Overall it's a great job. The truck looks 20 years younger. I am curious on how long all this took.
Super inspirational thanks alot
I figured cut polish my oxidized paint job and Whah Lah !
Greatest DIY restoration of a vehicle's paint....👍🏾👍🏾
Excellent results. Good job, Paul.
I thought my Honda civic needed a new paint job! I will try this in the future! I have similar symptoms except my car is white! Thanks for the great video! It is so hard to get good lighting but you did a good job!
white with no flake can be compounded using comet --- get it really wet and it'll work like a charm
+raymond goodman really! Comet like the cleaner?
I see you bought a new car lol
Dam.. A big difference... Good job...
Invaluable advice. I have a project coming that needs doing badly
Wow u deserve a couple of cold beers for that mate looked like hard work
Great job, man!! I am getting to work on my wife's vehicle today!
Super nice work on a truck I got ford 1993 F 150XL today
Nice work!!
good do it yourself job, a suggestion though when you wet sanding go in 1 direction when you sanding not in cular north to south, and you can buff headlights as well it will help the appeal taking the oxidation off. Yes they will definetly get more dollars for it. Good job
thanks for the tip
I think that micro fiber towel was white or light blue when he started
I Love your enthusiasm! Nice work!
I have a 92 red ranger that needs a food polishing. I'll have to get motivated to do it now that it's cooling off.
Great info i have old school cadillac brougham i will try this great job keep up the great wrok
Nice video and nice work!
I did find it funny though, when you mentioned that the interior is clean and then you panned the camera across the open window only to show the seats are covered in brownish stains. LOL
The interior is disgustingly dirty who is he kidding clean interior yeah right if he thinks that’s clean then it scares me to what it would have to be like for him to say it’s dirty
Stains can come out. Tears can’t. Stains don’t always mean a bad interior.
Dude u fuckin rock 🥌 love your video ..
Does the shine ever fade after a process like this? If so how long does it last?
beautiful job done! I've been checking out tons of vids on here and yours was most informative. I'm trying to get ideas on how to clean up the paint on my 2014 Impala. Ruby tint clearcoat shows every little mark, scratch and scuff. Beautiful car when cleaned up....but that reed is driving me nuts with such fine scratches throughout.
After waxing can you put a protective liquid over the car ?
What polisher and Pads did you use?
When you compare it...... there is no comparison
AMAZING JOB
20 hours!? Even at just $50/hour that $1000. Better get Maaco.
My Volvo S40 looks like that car did and now I know it's possible to make it look like new again! It has costed me a lot of money already and I would like to get that money back when I'm selling it! Paid 1 100 USD for it and I hope to get around 1 600 for it if it looks brand new. Thanks!
hard job to do i know u didnt do that for 50 maybe the products plus time but overall great job! did it myself on a 1983 or 86 red nissan back in the day took forever but was worth it
Yeah I did this for a living $50 I would say f no
Put at least a 1 in front of the 5
Great job!!!! looks awesome!!
What a transformation ::))
Looks great, but you didn't polish the headlights ;)
Beautiful job. Impressive hood fix of those two bare spots!
+splashcat thanks for the feedback, it was a lot of work but the end result was worth the effort.
Great job.Looks awesome 👍
Awesome! Looks great
Loved your work, hated the car.
Wow!! Such a good job,
20 hrs at $60/hr = $1200 in labor
Thank you so much.
THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT VIDEO!
So...You used compound on there, than waxed it? Does it help keep it looking like how it is now for awhile, even after washes?
Yes I used 3M Finesse It rubbing compound 1500 grit, there were some spots that I needed to go back and use a heavier rubbing compound once I got the truck into the sun. After that the wax helped protect it. I saw the truck the other day and it is holding up. The key is to keep it clean and I would wax it about 2 times a year depending on exposure. thats really based on information i've picked up over the last year.
Great job...
Why I do t get the same results and mine isn't as bad as this truck?
How much finesse it did you use? I usually don't trust Giants fans but you did such a great job I make exception.
How much pressure is he appying
Nice job man !!!
thanks Shane :)
Paul Foster hey, are you okay? You haven’t posted in 2 years going on 3, and I checked your Instagram and you haven’t posted since, I think it was early 2019? Hope everything is good! Take care, and god bless.
Perfect friend, congratulations.
Please tell me what you used step by step, products and berets, I'm from Brazil.
Congratulations again.
+Dannylo2005 It was pretty straight forward, I used a adjustable speed orbital polisher, and M3 Finessit. then I followed up by a couple small paint chips with some 3m glaze filler. primer and paint all rattle can. finish with some light sanding with 2000 grit SP. clear coat. Hope that helps and remember I'm not a pro but lots of practice will make these jobs easier.
+Paul Foster thank You!
really good
Buddy.. Stay away from the sun..
Jay Silva it's from the red paint
im not getting the glossy finish,, any suggestions? its a black 10 years old volvo
ill really appriciate it. thanks
N B, this was a 1 stage paint job. base coat and polish, if you have a 2 stage paint job then there is paint, buff, clear then polish. Once clear coat breaks down in a 2 stage paint job, you cannot fix it. on that later if it is 1 stage paint job the trick is not to but a ton of pressure on the pad and keep it moving. That is what works for me, other viewers may have some additional suggestions.
Every bit 1k more now.
Do you hire out...I have a 2004 Expedition
Good job 👍🏻🚗
once i saw the duplicolor come out I said nexxxxt
any one got tips to stop oxidizeding as I have a red corsa and I t cut the hole car 3 months ago and the oxidizing is comeing back it a 2004 corsa 1.0
+jameshone1000 only thing I can suggest keep it out of the rain and sun. so garage it or cover it.
+jameshone1000 Well to prevent oxidation is to wash car regularly, if you already have oxidation , you will use a clay bar to remove embedded contaminant on your paint, than compound and polish your car finish, than apply a good wax , apply at least 4-5 times a year, that should keep oxidation away, wax will protect your finish from elements
+Abel Celestin Jr And add a Iron Remover AFTER claying to the regimen....The true cause of the problem...
Oxidation is caused by exposure to sun and air. The best way to slow it down it to keep the paint protected. The basic protection you can use is a wax. It has to be done once a month (approx.) if you go with that. One step up is to use a paint sealant (synthetic wax) that is polymer based. These usually last up to six months and it's recommended to re-apply every 3 months. Higher level protection would be a ceramic coating, those usually last between 2 to 9 years depending on the product, they have to be applied professionally if you want them to last.
That truck belongs to a 15 year old boy? And he's a Tinkerbell fan? Tell him My Little Pony is superior.
How long does the new look last ?
+Cesar Gomez I actually did a check up on the truck a year later.there is a video for that check it out.
As long as you keep reapplying a quality sealant and wax as needed, though slowly time will still take its toll, nothing exposed to sun lasts forever.
Great work.
Wow
He said it took him 20 hours and he is doing it for a 15 yr old kid???? What did he get paid to do the job? $10 an hour would be $200 ; $15 would be 300 plus the extra 100 for materials -- $400 ; would have been better dollar and cent wise (time/labor is a cost) to get it painted. For a vehicle that small, you can easily get a half decent job for around $300-$500; way more bag for the buck. And a half decent paint job would be 1000 times better that someone burning off a clear coat (or base) for 18 hours and doing only doing bare metal touch up.
Don't get me wrong. The guy worked hard, did a "good" job, etc. But you have to first do a cost anylsis on this stuff before you jump in.
----- Great job, but bottom line is, yes it looks a ton better but for close to the cost of a paint job, you have a better looking version of what you had but by taking off a layer of paint (i.e., diminishing the current paint job).
------ NOW, if the punk 15 year did it himself, then good on him (out $60 in materials and its great that we got him away from video games for 20 hours (no loss on labor time). That might make a little more sense. OR maybe in the alternative, if you hanging with the kids or buddies and your just doing the truck kind of to kill time and hang. Again, okay if that is what you enjoy doing with your time... but your time (labor) still needs to be inputted in what it "really cost" to do the job.
Is he for real Nice clean interior in what truck is he looking at because the one he’s showing the interior is filthy and passed it it’s absolutely disgraceful
full of stains on carpets and really really dirty seats with stains if that was my vehicle I would be ashamed of it but then it wouldn’t have interior like that if I owned it plus my cars interior looks like it’s just came out the showroom
try another music please, great tutorial thank you
SO You basically burn all of the clear coat off of the truck then have them come and get it. lol In about 6 months it will have a light coat of surface rust, and the so called touch up with the paint spray will flake off. NICE JOB.
Tom Scott this truck probably had a single stage paint without a clear coat. That’s why they oxidize so easily
That's not a V6 mate... 2.4L 4-cylinder
Interior is clean.? It looked like shit
If your going to take the time to do the video why not take the time to present the products that you are applying and the products/tools that you are using, so that someone watching can actually try and do it on their own rather than guess at what you were using or what type of pad or bonnet etc...... I felt like I had to keep watching other videos to get the whole story.
