I did this just the other day to my brand new CRV and I did freak out. What a relief I can fix! Thanks! Keep posting, this is great content.
I'm glad to see someone talk about using the Magic Eraser for getting results with paint blemishes. I've used it for a while myself and it's a helpful tool to have around. Great video. Thanks for the upload. 👍
Thanks for this. I used a magic eraser to remove paint transfer from the doors of my 2017 Mazda CX-9 with metallic gray paint. I think I must have pressed too hard and I was freaked out I had ruined the paint. This video really helped me recognized what I had done (and not done). I look forward to fixing my mistake with peace of mind. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video.
Seriously one of the best DIY presentations on RUclips - for any topic. You should become a RUclips producer/director for all the folks who put out lousy DIY RUclipss. Thanks for packing in so much details in such a short amount of time with no silly wandering.
Thanks so much for this video! I went to town on a few stubborn transfer marks on my car and started to see some of that clouding and freaked out. Very relieved and glad I came across your video!
Phew! I just made a couple of small spots on my FJ with a magic eraser. Glad to know there’s a cheap and easy fix 😅
I did this to my truck while washing my car and removing some tar spots with the magic eraser. I was freaking out because it caused these dull spots. I feel much better after seeing how quickly and easily you fixed it, I'll go buy some finishing polish now.
thanks for the tips. i used to detail cars on the side many moons ago before i went into the service.... great tips buddy
I've been wondering about this. I have a few "scuffs" on my truck, and will definitely try this. THANKS!
Phew,so glad there is a fix...I freaked out today using mr clean to spot clean some stubborn spots..now to go wax...thank you,thank. thank you...you rock !!
Thank God Just Did this to my Beamer paint made it look way worse then the scratch YOU THE MAN!!
Just wanted to say thank you for your video, I got too close to a yellow pole in the car wash drive thru, and this got the paint transfer right off!
Just the video I was looking for. Thanks a whole bunch.
I did exactly this, scuffing my car with a magic eraser. I panicked. You saved me. Thank you!
Agreed, I had some tree stains of the stuff being stuck and baked on the roof leaving a orange stain. I used magic eraser to take it off and I scratched the crap outta clear coat. Thank you for this video and time to polish!
Hey...Thanks to you, I did buy a no name pack of Melamine foams..you saved me a lot of $$ because I use them a lot now, and wow do they come in handy...So I thank you for this my man!
On another note...I have to say that you are an amazing speaker! You are great at these vids... pretty much a natural. If I can just give you some constructive advice? Look at your camera more when you are talking to your audience, and you are going to go far...someone is going to want that talent of yours if they haven't approached you already!
👍😉
You are a beast man, 5 years later and saved my ass 🙏
I just found 2 tubes of piant fix and i was wondering if i could use it to polish chromed metal but thanks to your video now i know paint fix is not the same as polish, thanks for making the video!
Great video. I have a black transfer on my white jeep. I'm going to try this and see how it works.
Thanks a million for the no-nonsense info. I just bought a Tahoe that has a badly neglected roof and was looking for ideas to quickly cut the crud before compounding, polishing, and coating
Glad to see I can use this on my rubbers! I'll just start flipping them inside out after a good scrub!
love your work man .Subbed
Thank you so much for this video! I not only did what you showed in the video, but I really worked the Magic Eraser and used it on some stubborn scuff marks where I rubbed up against the pole in my garage and they ALL came out (without getting to the damage stage). It took a while to really get the magic eraser going (because I started with a new one), but once I got going and swirled it around in the areas I needed, I not only got the marks out in that area, but also on the other "scratches" that naturally occur when you're in a parking lot and someone opens up their door and scratches your paint. I got everything I wanted out and more - so thank you Wilson Auto Detailing. I really find your videos VERY HELPFUL!!!!!
I am really enjoying your detailing videos and I'm glad I found this channel! I have a question though: in what order of abrasiveness is fine clay, melamine foam, 5000 grit trizac wet sanding paper? I was thinking of doing the Decon stage of a thrashed paint job using the foam instead of clay. Thank you very much!
Thanks for this very helpful video!
THANK YOU! I was just freaking out cuz my GF just tried using a Magic Eraser on my new car to clear out a long transfer scratch and it looked like alll the clear coat was stripped ! Thank you so much for sharing!
Did she rub it real hard?
Tried this method today on the front end of an Audi and bagged $300 in an hour. Thanks for the tips big man 💪
What a great video! Thank you so much!
I wanted to learn if I could use the magic eraser safely to get differential fluid off the back of my car. It sprayed and splattered all over the entire back of my car when something on the highway hit my rear differential case. Two trips through the car wash did not take any of it off. I can scrape it off with my fingernail so thought the magic eraser would be a good idea.
Thank you for this info.
Thank you soooo very much. My camero that was just painted got a door ding 🙄
Received 2 estimates for $400 & $ 625. For a scratch that the size of a dime , yes a dime. But this method work !!! I can feel the scratch , but can't see it , which is fine with me 😊...money saved 😍
Thanks it took my scratches off my car 🙏
Great vid, much appreciated! I did just this to my son's car trying to remove excess glue from a sticker. Goo-be-gone and a magic eraser. It worked, but dulled the paint. I was worried. Your video made the difference. 👊
I got around 8 scratch spots on the passenger door and i used this kind of magic eraser. Was totally freaked out after seeing the cloudy spot afterward 😂. Do the polishing job does settled the problem
Thank you very much for your work!
I just took a small scuff mark off my Armada. Hit it with some wd-40 and ever so gently (almost no pressure) went at it with a magic eraser. Scuff mark gone. just takes a while but it absolutely works.
I Appreciate this Thank you !!
Thank you for your knowledge 🙏
Awesome video Luke
Make sure its completely wet with soapy water and use it very lighly. It only works because its an abrasive but with this way you can very carefully polish an area of clear coat. I found it works and lasts the longest if you hold the foam from the opposite end so that you cannot press hard
Great job. Thanks!
nice job man very informative!
Thanks man!
Mr Clean erasers are great for paint transfer. For that purpose, I sometimes use wd40 as a lubricant . I always follow up with a light polish.
Yep yep
yeah i follow up with the griots fine polish... liquid glass then i wash .. dry... and y'all have to try this F-11 top coat... I'm just a user who has a 60K sports car... I've used everything since the 80's.. f-11 top coat is the real deal
Do you have a video for removing rubber marks or similar? I was run off the road into an orange cone and it left some rubber transfer that I think will come off if I just knew how.
Hey Luke- is the magic eraser abrasive enough to damage the finish on interior or exterior plastics that are textured ? Will it make them smooth out (not good) or simply just clean them up ?
Would a magic eraser be of any help with a clear coat that is coming up / cracking (mostly on the corners of the painted bumpers) on a 2004 vehicle?
I don't expect it to be perfect ..I just want to try to make it look a little better.
Thanks in advance! Your videos are great :)
Omg dude! You saved my life. My wife just bought a new car and was annoyed at a spot that was maybe bird poo. I took that magic eraser to my own grave thinking I was doing her a favor. Polish fixed the problem I created right up. I owe you a beer.
The polish works great on removing the abrasion on paint. Are you able to polish out painted plastic trim that shows abrasion by a magic eraser?
Awesome video!
I made the mistake of abrading the paint on the rocker panel of my 2019 Jetta due to road tar and grime. What’s a good polish or finishing polish? I just got this car and so pissed I thought I ruined it ...Thank you!
Is that a G Shock? Nice 👍🏼 I have a mudmaster myself
Test this in a harder to see spot. It took off the finish of my car way easier and faster than in this video, and didn’t take the scratch out. I wouldn’t recommend doing this.
Yeah it's basically like a micro brillo pad! You could use it in your wet sanding or cut and buffing stage maybe...🤔
Hey brother. Good video. Would you recommend it for sunfaded mildewed paint?
Man i did that to my gs350 f sport, i freaked out! Thanks ft for the video!
Awesome video. Thank you so much. Splashed deck stain on my car. Used a magic eraser THEN googled whether it was safe to do it not. Google said it would kill your paint. Clearly, not true!
It's so absurd to do a thing and then Google whether it's safe to do, and yet I've done it myself a million times lol
Thanks, this helps
Yes yes...i.admit....i had abrave my paint with this......it was silver so i didnt noticed quickly.......but still very usefull tool i still use it
Definitely!
Thank you, thank you!
I recently used this to get some road grease off my side panel of my white pick up. Trying to see if it caused any abrasions..is it harder to see on white or would I still notice it?
Wilson I got the same haze from rubbing to hard with the eraser on my passenger door can I use ultimate compound to remove the haze or ultimate polish?
What kind of finishing polish did you use?
Does it matter what finishing polish I use ? Which one do you use ?
“I’m gonna put a little more polish”
*Proceeds to pour half the bottle*
Love the videos bro that just cracked me up!
Great video! After using the magic eraser is it best to wash and wax the car after?
Very informative as always!
Thanks Gareth!
I have a black Cadillac that just came home from being at the body shop due to someone running a red light and crunching my front right fender. Before they got it back to me, they waxed it and shined it up. Now there's some places on it that look like the pattern that's left behind when a sticker is removed and some of the sticky stuff is left behind, only this is smooth. I tried my magic eraser to see if it would take it off but it didn't. Any idea what this could be or how to fix it?
Luke, Just saw Optimum Clear Coat Restorer on a video. How about doing a video on a trashed car with deep scratches and see if this stuff works. I saw it on Pan's channel on the SEMA show.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Coco.
Love it man! I will put it on my list! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Hi Luke, awesome content as usual, just wondering if you know what the results of using a magic eraser and a cutting compound and or a finishing compound would be?
I think it would be like if you wet sanded first. It will cloud up but then you refine it with the compounds and it will bring back the mirror look just like a polish
3:15 was hard to watch but very educational. Subscribed
nice video .. hey can you make a video of the challenges you face in detailing in the winter..take care
Definitely man! Thanks!
Thanks I just noticed that I had one of those abrasions on my car paint :-( I let my dad help me remove a scratch using a Mr Clean Magic Eraser and it worked so well he got excited and started to trying it out on the spots of the car that had paint chips from little rocks hitting the car on the highway because he thought that the Magic Eraser would erase that damage too (my dads like 80 yrs old) and he rubbed it so much that it caused an abrasion on the paint where the paint got dull around that spot. I got scared and thought I would have to get the car repainted but this video was a lifesaver. Do you have the Amazon affiliate link for that polish?
It’s cool that your dad helped out, I’m sure he had nothing but the best of intentions. It’s also cool you managed to fix it.
What about a the ruff side of a dishwashing sponge and wd40 for a scuff mark/paint transfer does it damage your paint or remove dealership paint protection aka ceramic coating
I use an eraser on my gray rocker panel and now have a huge circle. ugh!
Will the polish work with a scuff mark from the back end of a sponge?
I literally just did this and it left terrible marks... I literally put no pressure on the eraser just ran it across and now it’s cloudy... maybe the actual name brands are harder on the clear coat?!? Is it maybe a newer formula... because it does have some type of product in it. 🤦🏻♀️ I’m going to try to polish it back out like you did so 🙏🏻🤞🏻 it works.
Great video.
Omg going to the store. I tried surprising my mother by getting the tree sap off her car and ended up leaving 3 white circles on shiny new black paint
Thanks bro I literally just made this mistake.
Me too & it was fuckin with my psychie😂
I have a white car and I used a magic eraser to remove tiny black dots (artillery fungus from mulch). I had to apply a good amount of pressure to get the dots off. They were over most of the car. At the time I did not notice the haze / scratch marks in the paint, but now when it catches the right light I can really notice them. Someone recommended Nu Finish Scratch Doctor to restore these areas of the top coat.
Do you think this will work as well as the funishing polish, or do you think the polish will work better? Also, can you recommend a different brand and type of finishing polish? Non of the local stores carry Show Car Renewit.
Thank you for your help!
Was looking up the black spots and then searched for scrub daddy and glad to see your comment!
You are good looking bro. Thanks for the video
You can put the compound to cut or polish on the magic eraser..those were ideal for removing wax & spray coatings instead of clogging up a pad just rinse repeat
Can you use them to get light scratches out of the black trim. On the car. I think it would leave a white mark and full the black even more. It's black plastic trim
is magic eraser the best solution for the long stains under the mirrors, or should i use a degreaser, or a clay bar kit
On yellowed headlights ? Black trim ?
U can even use 1000 grit then 2000 grit to smooth clear coat orange peel followed by a polisher to reduce orange peel on the clear coat.
Also wondering if I can use this eraser in headlights that have become hazy. Thanks!
Hello from the uk you really give me incentive to get on youtube and start making few films....ps love my magic sponges so many uses
Hi, cool video but wont this damage return over the next few washes/rainy days as the Wax leaves
Will the polish come off after a car wash? And is this polish good for dark Grey color with some spec?
great video.
Hi.. 😊 this was really helpful.. I'm trying to get the car I'm selling looking great.. how did u get that beautiful high gloss on your car.. I luv that mirror finish.. also what is a DA? And I can't find the links you were talking about . Cheers.. tia
Do you think this will work on sunblock spots on car exterior? Thanks!
it is safe to use on trim doors?
Saved my ass. Thanks bud!
Hey can you help me.. My car have got a stain from body cover ..its looking yellowish and its so stubborn its not going at all .. I have used iso propyl alcohol , detergents etc.. So can you tell me how to remove it please 🙏
Will this work for spray paint on your cars paint?
Hmm... Like a 5000-7000 sand paper? Trying to remove scratches from my car, I was going to start with a 3000 then move to a 5000 before polish but, seeing how the magic eraser could be like a finer sandpaper, it might be better in the long run to use it instead of a 5K paper. Thanks
Hey wilson thanks for the video i dont see the polisher on link could you provide that for me? Thank you
Hey Wilson, how do you remove wax that get on to black window trims? Thanks
I applied sealant on my brand new SUV trim bc it seemed to work in a small area. Well, it became white haze all over the trim! The solution that worked for me was an eraser. Yes those little rectangular rubber pink things that your kid uses at school! It will not damage the trim at all as well. You literally erase the white haze off and wipe the eraser residue off with a wet microfiber towel. Then dry it with and dry microfiber towel. It took me 2.5 hours to do the entire SUV but my brand new car looks amazing again.
very good video
Wow I guess I was expecting him to have a nicer car snd the shape of the rims wow 😳
Can you use this for water spots?
