Worked a treat, thank you very much! I had exactly the same scrape in exactly the same place with the same colour pain!
Glad it worked for you. I have done it a few times and I think actually twice in the same spot!
@@fixitwithdad8524 This is second time for me in the same spot for God's sake! A lot cheaper this time though! :) Delighted to be able to fix my own idiosy.
Yes it really works got the paint scuff off my truck yesterday
Thank you so much !!! My dad was mad at first but after I came back home without the scuff he wasn’t 😂
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this valuable information. I was side swiped by a local taxi here in Cumbria, U.K. last week and tried the WD40 remedy and oh my God the difference is unbelievable. I’d say it is a 95% improvement. So, God bless you and thank you for posting this video. Kindest regards,
Thank you for the kind words, and glad it worked out out When I first saw this on the Chrisfix channel I was pretty amazed too. Take care
this was SO helpful & it actually works so well. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Glad it helped!
Worked like a charm! Thank you very much.
Thats talent. Congrats on a job well done.
Just done this and it worked a treat, nice one, thanks
Wow works like magic. Good job 👏
Nicely done!
Thank you
I did remove the paint but can see some scratches any suggestions
Thanks dad ❤
you should be polishing with compound instead of waxing at this stage to remove the marring from the magic eraser. Then add wax for the final step for protection.
thanks for the tip. I will give that a try the next time I do this.
Saved my life and from my dad killing me! Lol, thank you! ❤️
Glad to help. And glad it worked out for you!
You young people are fortunate to have resources at the palm of your hand. We had no choice but to face our parents with the amature mistakes we made.
Great video thanks
no problem
Thank you!
Glad it helped!
this is a amazing video i need
Amazing
I'm the 1 that keeps paint scuff on my car due to backing up too close to the garage 🤦🏾♀️😅 thanks this will be helpful
Thanks dad 😊
Glad to help
Would you need to redo this process after a car wash or would this last?
the removal of the paint lasts. You do need to wax it a bit afterwards as the WD40 and the magic eraser will dull the paint, probably taking the wax off too. But once the paint is gone, and the area is thoroughly cleaned and waxed, the upkeep is just like the rest of the car. Paint won't come back
Good luck!
Thanks 💪🏾💯👌🏾
You saved my life! My mom would've killed me lol
Thanks for the video. Would this technique be safer than rubbing compound?
Hard to say for sure. I think it depends on how rough a rubbing compound you go with. If you were using rubbing compound with a buffer I would say it is a little safer since you could burn through the paint with the buffer...where with this method it is by hand.
I usually do a few passes and try not to rub too hard. Either way, you need to thoroughly clean the WD-40 off before the wax
What’s all the products you using so o can go buy them and do it myself I just brought my truck and uhaul white paint scratch my truck
hello....wd40 and a magic eraser to get the paint off. Then just cleaned and used a wax I had already.
Wow it worked!
glad it helped
Could regular paint or spray paint do the trick instead of this whole process?
Honestly, I would try this before I did spray paint. Paint is most likely not going to match , especially if there is clearcoat on top of the paint.
I used Mother's Brazilian Carnauba cleaner and wax and a clean microfiber rag after I washed the area first. Follow the directions. Minimal elbow grease and the paint transfer was gone in sbout 6 minutes with a beautiful shine-just like new. I would not use a magic abrasive, stinky WD 40 or anything else that could possibly damage your paint finish. It makes sense to use a product made for cleaning the surface of a car, after all! It cost me less than $20 at NAPA. Leave the WD 40 for stuck on pipes.
glad you found a solution that worked well for you. The paint for me was pretty dried on but next time I will try a cleaner wax.
Mine came out with just using the magic eraser (and a bit of elbow grease).
I have to do this again, so I will give that a try. thank you
Hello what pad did you use on that buffer
Hello...Honestly, it was the one that came with the buffer.
Good job Dad👏
Thank you. Glad you liked it
Will it still work if it's been on there more than a month?
It is worth a try....I want to say I tried after a few weeks and it worked. Just try on a small area first. Good luck!
this cant be real, i scratech my bmw 520d that i worked 5 years to save for and all my life wanted to have because of some stupid nightmare parking lot curve that is impossible to fit if you have a little bit bigger car.... and now i can only imagine is 200 or 300 to fix with luck so for me this is magic . cant believe some wd40 will work and already read in another video that with rain the wd40 will clear and it will show again the scratches
I can't speak to the other video, but I have never had the scratch come back after it rains.
I have done this a few times on this very vehicle in the video. You do have to get all the paint off or else I could see it coming back if the WD40 was just covering the paint. I have had to do the process a few times in a row to get all the paint off, and as I said in the video, you need to buff afterwards as the paint will be dull. I would test on a small area first . Please let me know if you have any questions.
Also...please remember...this doesn't remove a scratch ...just the paint causing the scuff. If there is a scratch in the paint from whatever hit the car, that will still be there after this process. If it is a very light/not deep scratch, perhaps some paint correction could be done to buff/compound out the light scratch, but a deep one isn't going to come out. hope this helps
Is rubbing compound or scratch remover going to work?
In my opinion the benefit of doing it this way is you actually get the paint transfer off the car before you try to use rubbing compound or anything like that. This way you're not grinding that paint into the car's paint first you're removing it and then just cleaning up the little bit of swirl marks
can this be used on non plastic like the fender ?
i have done it on a metal door as well . just be sure to test first in a small spot thanks for watching
@@fixitwithdad8524 thanks for the reply
What products did you use?
Links to many of the products are in the description below the video. Just used a regular wax, but others have said i should use compound first before wax. thanks
Some fool paint swapped my cars front bumper today,im gonna try this out.
About to save $500... thanks!
glad to help
Does this work on metal parts?
yes i have done it on metal on this van . test a small area first.
I used petrol
New subscribe
how
wd40 is a solvent thanks
good temporary solution but as soon as the wd40 evaporates the scratches will begin to show. The wd40 filled up the cracks and scratches that's why is looks like it was gone.
hello...wd40 is just meant to get rid of the paint. will need normal paint correction after that as you mentioned.
Bruh, was the garage freshly painted? That's a paint smudge not a scratch on.
Or you can wipe off the paint transfer with lacquer thinner and it will all come off instantly and won’t leave any haze to buff out……
Thank you. I will give that a try.
@@fixitwithdad8524 works like magic
Do I only need lacquer thinner only for this technique?
Wow
yes..it is pretty amazing. I have had to do this a few times unfortunately
Fix It With Dad I just ordered mine will try it soon
Glad to hear it. Works really well...just take your time. You will need to wax a few times afterwards...test on a hidden spot if you can first. Good Luck!
Why are you using wax you need to use compound that’s exactly why it’s not shining on the first path wax can’t restore scratched clear coat
great points..thank you
Trying this on a brand new car
good luck....just test a small area first
@@fixitwithdad8524 it works the area is bottom bumper pulled over a yellow parking block....but Its more slower than I thought so..doing again later but at least I know it works💯✔
@@elevatedemotions4548 yep...I tend to take it easy and do a little bit at a time as not to rub too much. Good luck Glad it is helping
Use acetone no buffing needed!just don’t wipe too much
Acetone use that instead of the wd40
Do I use acetone instead of the wd40
Yes acetone does work I tried it before and all the paint scuffs come off
I will give it a try next time. thank you
My stupid little brother ran in front of my car and i scraped a wall. I'm not supposed to be driving so my mom would freak out so I'll try this out before she leaves the house tomorrow morning.
Good job without going to the body shop
Thank you
Could of just used acetone.. Would have taken the paint scuffs off in about 5 seconds..
I can smell that wd-40
haha...yeah...you do..best to do outside for sure
I have like a 11 inch long 7 inch tall mark on my side 😂🤦♂️ time to get to work, fuuuuuuuhhhh
You hardly ever see a minivan without scuffs and scratches. In reality they are just family utility beaters.
When I was driving home I scratched my sisters car hopefully this can jelp
good luck
But this will coming back a few washing.
Hello....Not that I have found. the white paint is actually coming off, not just getting masked., so it isn't' there to come back Good luck!
@@fixitwithdad8524 so the paint stays?
@@JohnDought the white paint in my case is gone. The WD40 plus the magic eraser get rid of the paint. It also takes the wax off so I had to redo that. I used a power buffer, so not sure how easy it goes if you are waxing by hand.
@@fixitwithdad8524 than gotta try that
@@JohnDought It worked for me, and I have done it a few times on different places on the same van. Just take your time. I have done a little bit at a time as opposed to trying to get all the paint off at once. you are essentially sanding with the dry eraser..just need to be careful. I have had to wax a few times too right after to get the shine back. Good luck
Better ways to do this
Please share with the others. Always good to learn new ways. thank you
Are these botted comments? Lmao no do not use a magic eraser on your clear coat 🤣 simple google search would agree with me
Ah. Can’t wait to try this since some bozo with a white car decided to scrape my car to hell and drive off 🙄😡
Hopefully it helps. The paint in the video is from the wood around the garage door, but same sort of thing. Just do a small test section first. I have found it takes a few applications sometimes. Even if it all doesn't come out,it should atleast help. You need to throughly clean the paint after to get the WD40 off, then reapply wax.
Fix It With Dad thanks!
Dude, your car is a wreck,
came out ok though!
