Been a detailer for over 25 years and this is the best scratch quick fix I've seen. Cracking job, mate!
Love to hear that mate
Hi please do u leave it to dry or u polish straight away
@@zoomgalaxy5876 You should probably let it dry first before putting wax on it
Well if anyone was entitled to make that judgement Mich, I think it would definitely be you buddy! 👍
Any suggestions on how to remove light scratches and swirl marks ? Like only noticeable in particular lighting an angles. Long story short wiped down parts of the car with microfibre cloth that was wet ( so was the area ) then wiped it down with a dry one. Any suggestions?
The number of videos on this youtube with people trying to look experts by making complaicated lengthy 200 steps videos and then this man with just a finger does it all. Amazing!!
Makes a change for a CZcamsr to just get on with it! Good work.
100%
"Too many CZcams videos talk too long so I'm going to get straight into it."
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No messin'
Great vids, what about when you do this on a car door and it’s on the fold line just above the handle? The cutting paste (forcela) seems to pull the touch up paint back off ?

The real reason why I open the car door for my girlfriend is not because I'm being chivalrous but actually that I just want to protect my paint.
😁
Clever and a gent
Ha ha ha love it 😂
😂😂😂
If a guy opens the door for you it could be one of two reasons: ether a new girl or a new car 😅
Mate, you're a dream come true.
You know what you're doing and explain why perfectly.
The icing on the cake is that you crack on with it. It's is so refreshing not to have to listen to waffle and padding.
I tried this on my sisters burnt orange peugeot as the scratches round the drivers door handle were really bad and what a result. You can't see them at all now! I can't thank you enough for the tip !! !! !!
Hey there mate.
2 warnings everyone:
1. Gloved finger is messy and sticky, makes surface stippled like Artex ( I'm old)!
2. Be miserly with the paint otherwise it takes forever to buff off the excess!
I'm learning loads from you!
By faaaaar this is the BEST car paint scratch repair ever that I've seen on CZcams.
Easily doable and economical.
Cant thank you enough.
Wow, thanks!
Really good idea this. Especially as a little nailpolish size, colourmatched bottle of paint is only around 10 bucks aswell. So 20 or 25 bucks all in, you can keep up with any little imperfections or scratched for years. Awesome.
This video is absolutely brilliant! I’ve been polishing out the families car scratches out for 40 odd years and I’ve learnt something new today! (I’ve never tried using my finger tip before, so thanks for sharing mate!) ☝️
Glad you have learned something new mate
@@cvrpov Does it last after Carwashes yes right ?
@@cvrpov Thanks for your video! How long do you let the paint dry before buffing?
Really?
I always use my fingertip for everything. No glove
You are a wizard sir. Nice and simple, that's all anyone wants. No 10 minutes of waffle, just straight to it and job done.
Bloody brilliant! Did my Dad's old Range Rover where someone had keyed it, along with various minor scrapes. Used some touch up paint from Halfords, and now repair looks practically invisible. Thanks for sharing your technique!
No problem
What cutting compound did you use to buff off excess paint?
Mate that seriously is the best idea I’ve seen for scratch repair and no fancy tools. Just subscribed. Great job and thanks.
I like to keep it simple my man
Finally found a youtube guy who teach proper DIY. Welldone mate keep the videos coming 💯
Thanks for the follow
I found your videos and subscribed immediately. All the stuff without the fluff. No annoying background music, clear understandable voice, straight to the project without 40 minutes of hey youtubers bs speeches. Keep up the good work.
Take a bow Captain, Excellent job. Precise , no BS and something anyone with a bit of common can have a go. Thank you
What a guy, this technique is amazing, and paint gear is a brilliant company, great products and customer service.
Thanks for your continued support Will 👊🏻
Thanks for great information and not dragging it out. OMG the people getting into that poor car must be blind and holding a big fist of keys or rocks when trying to locate the door handle.
Haha
It's the long fake nails, probably a thumb or I don't understand how it's possibly done.
Mine looks like that. It's from our very excitable dog jumping up on the door. I'll have to give this a go.
It's from high class prostitutes with long fake nails. Good job.
How about a diamond ring? @@paullelys161
Nice one, Fella. I think the way you present your videos gives us numpties the courage to have a go ourselves. I'm a complete Neanderthal with a spray can but even my proto-brain can manage finger painting! Thanks for putting this out there 👍
No problem glad you like the content
It's perfect it can be done in minutes. Best process I've seen in 65-years, and you also sell your kit direct. Even better.
Awesome feedback mate thankyou
Thanks for such a brilliant idea and presentation!!! Straightforward and to the point, no long drawn stories about the day best friend farted in kindergarten or some other rubbish that has nothing to do with the subject. Bravo amigo 🤘🏽
Much love Jose 👊🏻
I tried this technique on my 1995 Ford Mustang. It's metallic red and had a large number of minor scratches on the passenger door. I used Testors model paint and the results were very good. Of course it didn't remove the scratches, but I would say it looks 95% better. And the paint only cost $3.25.
good stuff mate glad it worked for u
Excellent video! I've followed your advice and have tackled over a dozen scratches now, like you said it's never going to be 100% but if it can make it 80-90% better by diy at home then that's a big win. Keep up the good work buddy!
Great stuff. Thanks for the feedback
Does anyone know if this would also work on plastic motorcycle fairings (specifically a black gloss plastic cowl)?
Brilliant video , quick and straight to the point !
100%
Mate..brilliant..I've done the same on my bike tank after watching this..and it's worked a treat. Thanks so much. I've just subscribed and hit the bell. Thanks again!!!
Awesome thanks
Much appreciated....
Im showing a friends car roof some love, that is scratched fairly bad in places.
Great video and i have the basic tools for the job .
Brilliant video and commentary. Thank you for just getting on with it😍🎉
Too many people talk to much on CZcams!
Game changer, great video. I really appreciate you just being honest and getting on with it 😎
I appreciate that!
I've just found your video. Really impressive, thank you.
Good stuff
Amazing paint fix for scratches. Thanks for the video and how to do fix.
Take care.
No probs
This IS touch up paint job. As you literally touch (up) the paint. BRILLIANT Method. Thank you soo much. :)
Haha no probs
Thanks for the video, such a simple idea but so effective.
Definatley mate. Thanks for watching
What an amazing job. I'm going to try this. Top job 👍👍
Good look nigel
I have not made up my mind as to whether you are brilliant or amazing. I would have to say both! Thank You So Much!
Hey man Thanks for the sub
Sometimes the simplest way is the best way. Thanks for posting this. I'll try it soon on my car.
100% agree
This is absolutely brilliant. So easy! How is this even possible? Well done.
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Great video and great idea, better than what I have been doing for years. For the punters out there: the buffing *might* remove some of the new paint out of the scratches, hence the need to go back again as in the video. With some care and patience though it's obvious you can acheive a fantastic result relatively easily.
Thank you for the video!! You're right, we love it :)
Nice one
Mind blown, I think you’ve given me the confidence to try this. 🙌
Bro, how did your video magically appear right after i noticed some very depressing scratches on my GTI? You drastically improved my day. Thank you :)
Haha algorithms working
What a brilliant idea, simple and very effective 👍
Thanks.
Except for the clear coat damaged by this. Which means that nice red color is gonna become pink in a few years
@@80s_Boombox_Collectornah
Your video popped up as recommended viewing so I gave it a go and was pleased with and pleasantly surprised at your results! I will do this on my 2005 Nissan Murano. It has a few areas with pesky scratches on it that I couldn't buff out. Many thanks from across the pond in the states! 🇺🇸👍🏼
Thanks for the support. Here from the uk 🇬🇧
So happy you put up this video! Have a similar repair to do and was expecting to have to try to use a toothpick or something similar. Many thenks.
Great. Be sure to check out similar videos on different methods in my playlists
brilliant work!! Ive learned a lot of techniques from this channel
Great. That's why I made it 🙌🏼
Real ,honest and simple guy doing his job at very high level for a people who can not afford the expencive shops ...I love it
That’s brilliant bud. Who thought that would work. Thanks so much for the info. It’s so close to perfect
No problem
Wow 😮. I’m gobsmacked !!! Cheap easy method ! Love it 👏👏👏
100%
I've already had the same idea, but didn't trust me. Now I will check it out. Thanks for the video👍
🙏
Simple yet effective, going to give this a try Thanks
No worries
That’s awesome!Thank you so much for sharing your work!
No problem thanks for watching
Lovely job fella, well presented a joy to watch 👍
Really is quite simple but astonishingly effective. Superb
Thanks a lot 😊
Have to admit was hesitant applying finger paint (code matched) to the 5 year old Amarok I just bought. Worked like a charm on the scratched tail gate. Fantastic video.
Great stuff
I've done exactly this for many years with about the same 90 % results. I've just retired a GMC van after 22 Canadian winters and I've often had people stop me to ask if I've had the vehicle repainted. Fill the ditch with paint and buff off the thin excess on the flat surfaces.
It works great in the right circumstances
Fantastic job mate not seen this technique before! 👌
The Best I have seen for a long time, and so simple!
Thanks
I am so glad this was not a long video because I became so invested in watching it I forgot that I had put my dinner in the oven, the timing was perfect, also a great video, definitely going to try this, thanks
I try and make most of my videos to correlate with people's cooking habits
@@cvrpov 😂😂 Mate, your timing was perfect
This has to be the best thing I've seen on CZcams ever!!! ❤
Very nice of u to say
@@cvrpov thank you so much for the knowledge 😊
Amazing, I've never heard of this method before and it's incredible how quickly you get those results. OK it's not perfect, but it's a million times better than I'd have thought it would be!
Will definitely be trying this on my MX-5 that has a few dings, cheers.
No probs good luck. Don't go too mad on the paint on a mazda as it can be quite thin
What year MX-5?
not everyone has the dollars for the paint shop these days,your good deed will be appreciated by many,what you tube was intended for unlike a lot of tubers for profit channels.
I started this channel to help people who either had and intetest in fixing their own car or want to save money
Great video, did this on my wife's car with excellent results so thank you!
Great Stuff! no nonsense straight to the point. I didn't think it would. work. Amazing JOB. Thank you.
No problem
You sir are a bloody legend..Love from Australia
Thanks for the sub
Dang that was awesome results and simple. Great video
Kevin 🍻
Just tried this yesterday with my car, came out very nice! Thanks a lot!
Awesome paul
This is superb, Very much appreciated just what I needed. Thank you
Great job. As always. Learn a lot
Thanks Radek
wow great content and straight to the point, got a new sub!
Awesome welcome aboard
I have just done this to my wife’s car and now in the good books thanks again for sharing this fantastic idea 👍
Happy wife happy life mate simple as. Glad it helped
Wow, brilliant. Straight to the point, excellent video. This is DIY I might actually be able to do! 😂👍
Definately. Glad you like
I've got a fairly bad scuff in the middle of a panel and was about to pay over £500 to have the whole panel repainted. To be honest, I'm a bit worried about the matching to adjacent panels. Having seen this, I think it's worth having a go first. If the scratch is too bad and it doesn't work, I won't be worse off. Thanks for the tip!
Always worth a go mate. That's what this channel is all about
❤ Great method thank you very much.
I tried it with meguiar's ultimate compound and a drill. The deep scratches don't go away with this compound. But combined with the touchup pain, it does fill them up nicely so you can't see them from a distance. Much better than the white scratches on my dark metallic paint I had before.
Glad it helped
Brilliant. I cannae believe how well it turned out.
Awesome mate love to hear feedback
Well done what a fantastic tip. Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Stunning results thanks for sharing!
Thankyou
Just can't find it in the USA. The website doesn't exist
Thanks for a great video. In some of your other videos you are also wet sanding to remove a scratch (along with paintgear paint), whilst in others, you are applying the paint without sanding first. Could you please clarify when sanding is or isn't needed? Thanks!
With rub and buff method I don't sand 1st
A nice common sense solution & straight to the point/job. Thanks.
No problem
Absolutely genius, mate! Cheers. Leigh.
No worries
This guy is brilliant👍👏
Thanks for the support
@@cvrpov what is the product name? Where to buy?
Top job lad, thanks for sharing. Quick question, which cutting compound did you use please?
Thanks again mate
Farecla g360
I'll try it, I have piano black mercedes benz and it has some minor scratches and obviously I did not want to get it repainted with bad results...but now I will try your trick and I'm sure that everything will come out right.
I'm used to car restorations and I never heard of your method, THANKS MATE😊
Black works well with this method
It helps many of us to get a good look on a budget which is great . 👍
Thanks for these type of videos it's appreciated and this is something I'm going to try on a bumper that slightly brushed against a metal fence leaving a few little scratches. I already have the touch up kit polisher etc but this is the method I'll now try first. Thanks again
Glad you find them of use
Quick and easy fix. You could improve it even more with bit of wet sanding to level out, but this is great for a quick fix and would satisfy 90% of car owners
Perhaps yes. I wanted to keep this as basic as possible
Nicely done brother 👍 thanks for your sincerity. I stay on top of my car. Especially driving in NY. Touch up made simple 👏👏👏
Cheers for watching
Excellent job! I wanna try this on some of my cars. I have a rental business. Could come in handy!
Definately
Looks very good!!! I just repainted my whole car with my finger. 😂
The end of spray guns is near
Thanks for just getting on with it and not giving us a documentary on like most CZcamsbers do.
Yes very annoying I find
Oh my flippin god.
Awesome
Awesome presentation awesome work, awesome everything 👏👏👏👏
Cheers mate
This is a God send that I discovered your channel
Absolutely love it 🤔☺️
Appreciate the support fella
Great vid mate well done. Might be a good idea to use masking tape on the door handle and the black moulding as to save BURNING with the buffer. Cheers. Max. Australia.
I would usually max but I was too busy making sure the filming was ok
Great Job, Can you tell us aprox. cutting power of the compound you used ? Is it around 5/10 ? (Like Menzerna 2500) I guess if you use an agressive compound , it could remove the paint that you applied. Thanks
G360 I'd about 8/10
@@cvrpov Thank you
Great tip! I can see why the color doesn't have to be exact, most is polished off. I will try this.
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely brilliant. 👍
Thanks for the sub
That is pretty awesome. Didn't expect it to be honest. Personally, if I try it, I think I'll put some clear coat over it. It'll last longer like this IMO.
I find it's fine without
@@cvrpov Yeah, the result looks neat without it. I'd rather do it still just cuz I'd lose sleep over it if I didn't. 😅
I believe it's worth saying what kind of paint you use. I for example mix base and hardener, someone adds clear coat too, some people use single stage etc
My thoughts exactly… indication/link to paint used?
Solvent basecoat touch up paint
What you have done looks amazing! I just don't know how close in color the paint needs to be. I am so tempted to try just a small amount to see what happens. I will update you. Thanks!
great video, got a couple of scratches on mine and going to try this.
Awesome
Great method.Just wondering, How long did you leave paint on before buffing. Is the paint from a can or out of a touch up pen. Would using a touch up pen (brush end) work the same i.e. smearing on scratches then buffing. Cant wait to try this. Fantastic video
Touch up pen yes.. aerosol no
@@cvrpov Perhaps I missed it, how long did you leave the paint on before buffing?
@@cvrpov Hey Mister. Michael and Bob want to know "how long did you leave the paint on before buffing". Would you like to give an answer? It's been like 2 weeks now.
Do you have an idea of maybe applying a clear-coat spray to protect the paint?
That would be more a respray. A good ceramic would be better
