Imagine him trying to explain something complicated. OMG!
😂
You ain't kidding you were correct on your comment
😂
It's because he realizes most people are stupid
Chemical Engineer here. Just FYI, for house paint that exploded in the wheel well. Let dry. Rent a dry Ice blaster and a tote of dry ice. Total would've been around $150 for the ice and most likely around $2-300 for the blaster for a day. Dry ice blasting would've made quick work of the paint, and leaves absolutely no moisture and will not damage electronics like the wheel sensor or abs. It also is pretty accurate, so no worries about overspray or hitting the rotors. Look into it. It's a unique solution for many unique situations. It can be dialed back like pressure washing so you only remove what you want, but doesn't shoot spray and removed material all over the place.
Scott, Thanks for taking the time to show me how to improve the look of my cars. Your videos are great.
Thanks Scott. Exactly what and the level of detail I was looking for. All the best..
There's only one thing this man loves more than detailing cars... talking.
i put all his videos on 2x speed and he still takes forever to get to the point
Yep, he's a talker alright. Makes it nice though when you miss something he said - just wait a couple minutes and he will repeat it again! The fact that he is so likeable, and helpful, makes it a non-issue for me. I've certainly learned a great deal about shining up my ride. Thumbs up, as usual.
Interesting! Even though you bitch about him (in your opinion) talking to much you still watch the video? Apparently you must still find his information important enough invest YOUR overly important time in watching. Get a ball and kick it, don't be kicking a man doing his very best to help less informed folks.
LOL, true, but very good information and he really appreciates his viewers
I really love your channel and how your “real”.
Thank you.
It is going to be interesting watching you sweet in these videos as it heats up here in DFW. Love the channel. Keep sharing the love. I have learned a ton already.
sweet ?
Nice video and it's never boring watching you work.
I used bedliner in my wheel well. Still looks good after 6 months.
Another great video. Thank you my brother!
I will add that as part of a restoration project I'm removing undercoating from the chassis of a 70s vehicle. As it aged it pulled off of the chassis and created bubbles and air gaps that led to water getting behind it and laying there against the steel. In a few places this led to rust out.
I would not worry about a thin coating on a fender liner for appearances sake but think twice before putting really heavy layers on your car's metal parts as some previous owner did to my vehicle.
On another 60s vehicle I own a previous somebody used a combination of roofing tar and undercoating to hide rust perforation. Thick layer of roofing tar over rusted steel topped with undercoating to give the wheel well a uniform appearance. Just something for everyone to look for when you buy an old car for cruising. I knew what I was buying so there were not any surprises.
joeaverager a
Thanks for this. I’ve just purchased a 50th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Discovery and I am going to do a complete overhaul DIY. This was on the list
Great vid. Wheel liners are generally easy to remove. No overspray worries then.
I've been in the used car recon business for over 18 years and dealers only use OEM if they have to. Either way, he is for the most part, very knowledgeable about most of what he does
not boring at all. very informative. thanks.
Good demo. I’m thinking doing this on my F150. The factory coating in the wells is wearing off from mud and pressure washing and it looks blotchy now and it’s visible. The sound eliminator would help also as I have more aggressive wheels on that have more road noise. I’ll have to try this. Might also try it on my lifted truck but that’s a bigger project. Lol.
Great vid Dallas. What about those new cars with the fabric material some times they're so hard to clean
How frequently is this needed to keep wells looking pretty good, can you power wash when normally cleaning your auto\truck
I found it quite insightful.
Great tutorial, thank you 😊
Hi Scot, great video ,just have 3 questions, does this product or the 3M stick properly to plastic wheel wells? I mean how is this product holding up since you sprayed it on a plastic fender well.? also, can this product be used to dampen tire noise? Thanks again.
Great video can I spray the rubber parts as well or prevent those parts?? Thanks for the great video👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
That is slick, I like that idea. I could probably upsell this on some trucks, etc.
awesome...sounds like a true business man:)...thanks my friend
That is a good idea as a patch to the problem, soon as it gets some miles on it that stuff is gunna get chunks out of it and all the white will just start to bleed through. The way u sprayed it on is why the texture is the way it is. If you pulled back a foot or so and sprayed more uniform it would get the texture in it. Up close doing a wet coat like that makes it smoother. For things like fender flares, or door clading, the wheel liner like what's In this video, this doesn't work on all black plastic but it does for most so test it in a spot that is not obvious until u get the feel for the type of parts you can doit to. But if you take a heat gun, heat gun for beginner, propane tourch if you have experience in doing this but make sure the part is clean, no dressing or anything on it and apply heat to it and it turns back to literally like brand new!! It just takes the outer layer and it "melts" it just enough to get the black shine back and u don't need to use any dressing or nothing like that. You can but it isn't necessary. The type of plastic that it does best with is mid 2000 Jeep's the fender flares and bumper end caps. That plastic, not just found on Jeep's BTW just a good example of the type of textured plastic it works the best with. Try it out on some old parts but once you get the hang of it it is an amazing trick to making an old car look showroom ready and actually stay that way after it is washed also!!
I always undercoat my wheel wells it also quite the road noise gravel etc
Great vlog
I gotta say WOW yet another tool in my arsenal
Amazing sale skills, after a few minutes of listening i thought he gonna use alien technology )))
Great Video Scott.. I am a stickler with clean wheel wells.. So many people have gorgeous shiny paint and all, but the wheel wells ruin it .. I still have my 04 F150 but I just got a 2018 F150 and waiting on my delivery of my Husky wheel well liners . Thank you.
does this stuff replace underoiling in canada from salt on roads? is it better then underoiling?
Scott, have you ever used Duplicolor’s CP199 Clear Adhesion Promoter followed by their Trim and Bumper paint? I used it on some badly faded bumper trim and it still looks new over 2 years later. I don’t know how it would hold up in a wheel well but it sure would look better than that undercoating paint.
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing, what about plasti-dip or any of those kind of coatings for this kind of application?
Nice Vid..If the WW is Clean, just spray it.. But if not? I go to the 25 cent Car wash and High Pressure Wash the WW's ( Leave engine running, so can turn steering wheel to get inside the WW.) by the time I get home? All dry and ready to Remove the Wheel/Tire and Start spraying.. Thanks Scott for the Type of Spray paint to use..I've used the Cheapest I can get at WalMart. But only last 1 yr.. I'll use Duplicolor Next time..
BTW- Everycar I buy, I also Pressure wash the Frame and Extra Undercoat it I buy a Couple of cans of undercoating ..Just make sure that Frame( or whatever) is Clean best you can.Last for yrs.. And good to do any BodyParts you can get too and Undercoat them ..
i know this is an old video so this comment wont matter to much haha it looks really good but that definitely needed a second coat, it looked a little uneven to me. Love your videos tho Scott!! Keep them coming!!
It would be cool to see an update if this wheel well months after to see how well it held up. Cool video!
Lol it didn't I'm sure. I've done mine going on 4 times next week in the last year. Think I'm buying new
I think it's a great idea for a got to get it done today problem. Lot's of other way's But most won't fit the time frame or the most important one make the car owner happy within a hour or two. Thank you for letting me into your world at the 15:48 time frame
You don't cover the hardware with a tarp before spraying?
Can you put on running boards? For a truck
Oh ya forgot to say with the paint on the liner like you were dealing with in the video, sort of a play off my previous comment but if you remove the liner completely from the vehicle. One, you can really get all up in it and clean it up good with it out. And two, if you apply heat from the backside of the linner it will actually start to release the mold release agent from when it was first casted into it's current shape from the factory cuz it's still there and the heat brings it out if it's not too too old but you can then just peel the paint right off of it in leaving it Brandy new looking and ready to get back on the road again!!
Did you use a jack stand when you jacked up this car?
Whats it called and can u get it in white
Hi Scott, what is your opinion on using marine paint to protect the undersides of a vehicle instead of rubberized coating?
rubberized undercoating is really bad for trapping salt and dirt. The problem is that that undercoating dries and cracks and then the salt and water get underneath it and are trapped accelerating the corrosion of the vehicle.
Kool tutorial, funny comments too whatever floats your boat
NICE JOB
thanks my friend:)
I've got a 2019 Chevy Silverado, the wheel wells seem to have felt or some synthetic fabric. Do you think this would be an option for me? I'm considering having spray bed liner applied.
That carpet like stuff? I wouldnt use it on that
People paint carpet material. It's doable
You have to be from Long Island! LOL thanks for videos
As a detailer you should have completely cleaned the wheel liner then spray because it lasts a good couple of years good clean nice finish than its worth doin
I would love to know what you charged to do that.
Great Detailer, spray black paint on grease dirt and grime
i just used dupli-color yesterday for the first time. I painted my valve cover and have to say...great paint!
Maybe just a note, but a pro-detailer should use raceramps ;-)
It's an awesome, easy way to get the front of the car up aswell as being able to clean the underside well.
Another thing , i always lifted the cars up I ever did, at garages it's easy to use a lift ofcourse
, but it helped alot! Over the years, I've had many customers whom I could warn of rust, bad exhausts, faulty enginesupports, oilleaks, brakeproblems etc in time, just because I lifted up the cars.
As a pro-detailer you actually should clean the underside, certainly when cleaning out an enginebay, and take the extra's with it. Your customers will appreciate it alot!
What about all the suspension parts and the wheel itself? Didn't the paint get all over those parts also?
great question...and yes it was all over the wheel and metal parts..but those areas are somewhat easy to clean and remove paint from..i used a 3m eraser wheel to remove the paint from the clear coated wheel...but the video was more about heavy build up on plastic and wheel well liners...thanks for your comment
I used to use plastic spray for that...but the undercoating spray is a good idea...
Great video also! I hate chalky wheel wells!!!
If it was latex? Would have been fairly easy to remove with steam.
I painted the underside of my balls with this stuff and the old lady cant get over the difference it truly makes, great product, I highly recommend!
if you have a rubber lip attached to the fender liner or quarter panel it will cause condensation to get in between the metal and the rubber. It will rust the quarter panel or fenders fairly quickly. I always take them out when buying a car.
PROFESSIONAL
He reminds me the salesman's from the 90's.
u fell in love at first glance😁😂hah
Very well done video Scott. Thanks.
I couldn't stop looking at that rusty frame. Can you review RP-342 some day? It's military grade cosmoline.. a lot of people Rave about how much better it works Vs. undercoatings and oils
Scott. In Alberta - the Great White North several months a year - this is a well known way to save a car from salt and road chemicals meant to melt ice. Thanks.
how does spraying a bit of plastic save a a car?
Wow! A sales pitch if I ever heard one.
I've undercoat my whole truck 3 times in the last year and it loses color eventually and flakes off sometimes so yea this didn't work for me. Next gonna try the raptor brand undercoating or truck bed liner. And I gotta say an expert would just take out the liner so no over spray and much easier to paint
As soon as i saw the rust i knew it was a chevy haha
This guy would make a great politician, talk talk talk.
Say it don't spray it 😂 jkjkjkjk looks better than my Rustoleoum 2x painted wheel wells.
i know right..lol..plus i was sweating like a pig, hot in texas:)
Everybody love’s Raymond😂😁
Didn’t want to hit the frame while you were in there ?
A better way would have been to use Duplicolor Trim & Bumper Paint, it is flat black and flexable...Being that you didnt want the texture...If you wanted texture your way would be perfect...
this is greatdi this years ago in the early 90s in ny sell it to customers to protect from the salt
use the black woolwax on rusty metal....never ever rubberize bad bad, but great video
I used duplicolor undercoat but it never dries!
I've been doing this to my truck about every two years for years now.
Does it seem to discolor or fade over time? Or retain mud stains due to the roughness? Thanks!
@@sammytorresjr No more so than the regular fender liner does. Nice thing about is that after a year or so when its starts getting kinda chalky looking and not so nice again, all you gotta do is shoot it with another coat of the under coating and it looks brand new again for another year. I've been doing this for years now to keep mine and also customers vehicles looking nice and sharp looking!!!!
S.M.A.R.T.
Raptor undercoating is the best
Just saw this! What about using this for my Avalanche plastic sails?
Scott could u just jack up the car beside the tire to give u a good wheel gap and just avoid taking the wheel off? Maybe drape a old towel over the back of the wheel just in case it blows back while spraying....?
Alex Bryan
I would strongly recommend against that as access will be too restricted.
That's all fine and dandy, till you have to pull the liner. With the under coating on the screw, and bolt heads. So if you have to get to a sensor or turn signal bulb for example. I think plastic and vinyl paint as a better option. It may not last as long, but you can pull the liners if need be.
Best to use a removal tool on the fasteners(if needed) and spray the liner off the vehicle. Not much extra time at all.
It would just take about 2 minutes to take that wheel well out.
Scott, this stuff seems very similar to Plasti-Dip. Have you tried that product? It's a rubber coating as well.
no..never used plasti-dip..where can i find it and have you had much luck with it?..thanks for the tip
Home Depot, AutoZone, O'Reily, Walmart, it's between 4-7$ a can. The can looks the same size as yours. I sprayed my grille and chevy emblems with it and they lasted 2+ years before needing to be redone. But I also use a heavy ass pressure washer, and it will rip this rubberized coating off. And to undo it I just had to peel the stuff off, or use Acetone which helps it not adhere properly. I'm willing to bet they're the same, maybe it's even cheaper for you.
yes i think dupli-color is like 6 dollars a can but to be honest i can't remember ...but i will for sure follow your tip and look into it...as always trent i appreciate you on the channel:)
Thank you, never thought about using it as a undercoating. I've always used 3M's undercoating product. For whatever reason this Plasti-Dip idea just came to my head. Sometimes Home Depot will have it on sale for like 2-3$ a can though, awesome buy at that price.
you would have to cover everything, cause if you spray suspension parts, especially springs, is gonna be a pain in the ass to remove, but is better than painting, considering nobody gives a shit or looks at wheel wells lol
Did you even clean the surface first??
I’ve seen several videos about these types of products ruining vehicles. It costs it but then rots from the inside out.
HI, I love your videos. Very informative!! I wonder if somehow you could help me. I’m trying to start a small detail business on the side (I’m retired) maybe a couple cars a week. I’m familiar with how to do it from an amateur perspective but I get a lot of compliments. Can you maybe give me a basic list of products I should have to be more professional? I have basic stuff for interior detailing and some exterior. Mostly stuff I get at auto zone and places like that
I think short strokes is ok, but holding it down ok too
olive oil works great
everybody loves raymond
Hey Scott...If you like an undercoat with little to no texture, try FlexSeal. I wasn't a fan of it at first, but my ATV brush guard's protective coating had rubbed off over the years and had started to rust in spots. I coated it and the control arms with FlexSeal and was SUPER happy with the results. And the bonding was fantastic, both on plastic and metal. Thicker than paint, but with smooth texture.
At 3 mins 30 seconds I just had to turn this video off. Talk about making a chapter out of one sentence, this is the wheel arch of a car, just get on with the job, it was not that interesting a situation, interesting situation, interesting situation..............zzzzzzz
Richard Clare awesome
It’s been 3 minutes and he’s still talking about his day. Now it’s four minutes. He’s talking about telling the dealer to get “get to the punch.” Guess I’ll try another video that’s more about spraying wheel wells and not a day in the life of.
Black man ha ha I know it’s like “ OK DAD, THANKS FOR PEP TALK ON BUSINESS “
Reminds me on a girlfriend I have had, bragging for painful hours about something that could have been said in two short sentences.
I have a feeling without an adhesion promoter for the PLASTIC, the undercoating will just flake off as soon as you go into the car wash with a pressure washer...
he turned a 3 minute video into a 16 minute snoozefest...
3M is like a popcorn finish whereas Dupli-Color is like an orange peel.
Heard bad reviews on this. That it takes forever to dry and rubs off with your finger even with the proper prep
Depends on the brand. The best product to use instead of this stuff Scott used is a rattle can of bedliner. Works awesome, lasts and lasts and looks great.
From the northeast, shouldn't put rubberized coating on metal.
I rip my plastic liner off lmao
I was born & raised in Dallas, TX when 99% of other people in Dallas were born & raised in Texas by Texans. It's really weird for me to hear someone like this (now days) that talk & sound like they are from some foreign country like NY., CT., MA., etc., etc. Ya'll hear?
why did you Undercoat the plastic? 55555555
He sprayed a bit of black in a wheel well while talking about "thinking outside the box". Jesus dude, do you have to explain everything 3+ times?
