Here is my video on How to Repair a DEEP SCRATCH: ruclips.net/video/Zl_iSYYGBiY/видео.html
That’s why I came here
I think I saw ur face ur reflection was on the car
It was worth waiting almost 4 years for the deep scratch video! Thanks a lot for both!!!!
@@carguy7884 o
My brand new car got keyed. I just watched both videos on how to fix the scratches. ONE QUESTION. will the fixed area always need waxed. After getting a car wash or just over time, will that certain area look hazy and or not like the rest of the car and need to be waxed or polished all the time?
He scratch’s his car for the video, what a legend.
My bike cost more than this car . Its ok to scratch it.
Hahahahaha @eman
He made a hole on his exhaust pipe for another video...he's great....or maybe crazy...haha. Greetings
What makes you think its his? 🤔
I 💖 my PT Cruiser, she's adorable!
Dude, I was already sold when you did all the explaining and what not. But when you scratched your own car and fixed it, now you had my complete attention. This is an amazing video, thanks a whole bunch!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi quick question I got a scratch on my Miata and i thought it was a deep one to i noticed when it rains i can't see the scratch does that mean its just the clear coat?
Chris do you have a video showing deep scratch repair?
According to the video, sounds like it's clear coat.
Josh McCullough for a deep scratch you might want to repaint the body
Someone keyed my car two days ago and I was so upset. I looked up videos until I found this one. Went out today and bought all the products I needed. It worked so easily and all the stress and anger I was feeling has gone away. Thank you so much!
That's what I like to hear! Thanks a lot!
@@chrisfix the fact you replied to this after 6 years of the main video.. is why i appreciate you alot man.

Hey, not sure if you will see this and it's not super important but I was curious on where you learned most of the stuff you have learned, the internet, family, friends?
Anyways, thanks for all the videos you make, they are some of the most well made and thorough videos out there.
Chris, you saved my neck on this one! I accidentally scratched the wife's car while moving something in the garage. I was going to fess up, but I knew that she would hold that over me and be pissed at me, even though it was purely accidental. So I bought all the supplies on Amazon right away, yet, it was difficult to pull off, because she's been working from home exclusively for 2 years, so it's she's home 99% of the time, and when she's not home, she's in her car. I was waiting for the moment when she would be away from home, but not in her car, so I could work on it. Finally, about 2 weeks ago, her mom picked her up and they were out for about 2 to 3 hours. The clock was ticking. I was nervous that I was going to screw it up and make it much worse, then I would have been completely screwed. I was trying to finish before she showed up, so I didn't get caught in the act! I followed all the steps, and of course, after the sandpaper steps, it looked awful. Would it come out with the polish? Well, it did, and the wax took care of the rest. I was so pleased at how this worked, as previously, I could feel the scratch with my fingernail, and it didn't come out with polish alone....a few days later, I washed and waxed her entire vehicle, and the car looks great. There is one more fine scratch (not my fault) on the car, and I'm going to work on that next, that one is less severe than the one I caused. You're a life-saver Chris!
Awesome Danny! Glad the video was helpful!
Great story that I can relate to. It's like fighting a battle in two fronts. First, you have to deal with the job at hand and your gut wrenching remorse at scratching the car and whether it not you'll be successful. Second, you have to deal with the wife and wait for that sweet moment when she's away and hoping you have enough time and that you will be successful. Good thing she didn't forget her umbrella and return 5 minutes into your project.
I would've fessed up to my wife and she would have been understanding. My sympathies to you for the fear you live in.
@@nutknowledgeright, man is acting like he's going to jail over a simple scratch
This man is more afraid of his wife than a criminal is over the police
I'm convinced after all these ChrisFix videos I can rebuild a car with just "some soapy water."
soapy wooder, ftfy
And medium strength thread locker
🤣🤣🤣 that was good!
What kind of soap because my soap is waxy and I know we can't use dish soap.... any suggestions?
And micro-fibre shop towels. No lint, please.
What I most appreciate about this video aside from the great instructions, was the guy's crisp, to the point delivery. I hate sitting there watching a slowpoke take 15 minutes to explain what should take 5 minutes. This was 100% useful and no wasted time!
Great help thanks
I hate those that start with-subscribe and like video and talk about it for 1 minute
Completely agree
Well presented and useful. Thanks.
+Analog Planet - Yes, I agree with you!
Thank you Chris!! I never write comments but I had to give my experience. Someone scratched my car a couple of months ago in a parking structure and didn't leave a note. It was about 2 feet long, had the other car's red paint on my black car as well as a dent. I got quoted from 3 different companies the highest being $1400 for the repair. Fast forward I just thought I would have to live with the scratch on my car but then I saw this video immediately bought the supplies (as well as a dent remover) and was able to remove the remnants of the scratch even the other car's paint which I was super surprised. It looks night and day different. I am so happy with the results and this cost me less than $30. I am so grateful thank you Chris!!
This will be my next project. One by one, I come here to see what Chris says before I try. I buy almost everything he uses and get to work with so much confidence. I’m a 70 year old grandma who is really digging all this.
have you tried it? did it work?
She died
This guys voice and confidence makes me want to scratch up my car for fun then fix it and send him photos for approval.

I just bought a new car for the first time and it's absolutely stunning to look at. But I was so anxious about scratches I had nightmares last night. This video is so helpful and encouraging; I'm not worried now because I know I can fix it. Thank you so much!
Congrats on the new car! And you can definitely fix scratches like this!
7 years later and this video just saved my WRX
I found your vid after going through an automatic car wash. There was a guy outside scrubbing the backs of cars as they went through cause this one never gets the back well. His brush scratched the crap out of my trunk.
I got the stuff you recommended and it totally removed all the scratches!
I'm not much of a car guy so this was super helpful.
Thank you!
Please say what car wash this was, just in case it's one near me that I need to avoid.
I would say any car wash that has rotating brushes because I took mine to a Sheetz and it put fine scratches
I already had an appointment to get the hood on my black Corvette repainted tomorrow. I figured I would give your method a try. I was a bit nervous about taking sandpaper to my black paint but I figured if I messed it up it was getting it painted anyway. I just cancelled my paint appointment. Your method worked fantastic!
Did you use the exact same products as he did in the video? I too have (plenty) of clear coat scratches - since a bush attacked my car... And my car is black. Also have an appointment for repainting - which will cost me damn much if i fail.
I used the 5000 and 3000 grit sandpaper from Autozone and Mcguire's scratch remover liquid to get the sand paper scratches out. I then used Turtlewax paste.
***** like me....i like Black cars ..

just don't forget to wax it regularly you clear is now way thinner

This is seriously the most informative video I've ever watched on RUclips. You explain things SO well with no filler..

Hi Chris:
I used your excellent video to guide me through the removal of 8-10 scratches from my car today. Your process was spot on. The scratches took anywhere from 10-30 minutes to become invisible. My stress level plummeted after working on the first scratch and seeing the results. Thank you very much for your excellent tutorial. I really appreciate it!
im going to try this as well on a scratch at the bottom of my truck nobody ever notices if it works there ill move to the door.
dont you get a little bit of fade in the clear coat of the cars body color though? Like the scratch might be gone but you would still feel something wrong with the color of the area you worked on or no it doesnt happen that way?
@@rushil505 I think it’s all in our brain cause we remember that area to have a scratch
@@rushil505 yes, hence we use the wax to shine it up.
Hey we’re any of your scratches not straight because my scratch is a whole word and I don’t know which way to rub with the sandpaper. Also once I started I gave up immediately because of the fear of ruining my car 😅 is there any tips
I just ran across this video a short while ago, needing to learn this very thing... I followed your method and am blown away... You'd never know there were multiple scratches on my truck box (about a half inch wide by 10 inches long shallow scratch area)... I'm simply amazed!! Thanks so much for posting this!
I watched this video, ordered supplies on Amazon, and executed today. Took about 2-3 hours. It took some courage to apply sandpaper to my new Rivan truck but I had faith and ended up with an excellent result! Thank-you Chris Fix! Jon from San Francisco
You had money for a rivian but not enough to fix is professionally? Lol
After sanding does haze stays permanent?
@@etengis1in the sun it looks horrible when you stand back and look at it.

I agree. Can't figure out why so many dislikes here. Haters gon hate
Yeah, he is the best when it comes to ACTUALLY explaining things haha
Does this method still work in 2019 or was is patched?
Sebastien. It still works if your car is red or blue but don’t do it on green cars. It can damage your engine if you do it on a green car. Also always change the Blinker fluid when you’re done
Patched ea changed it to loot boxes
WatzoN only tesla have gas powered blinkers, don‘t get fooled !
Sebastien lmao this ain’t no glitch 😂😂😂😂😂 it still works man lol just did it to my Mustang yesterday
@@m3rkmus1csweg58 i tried this on my green car and was trying for so long i got a cloud burn, and my engine fell out.
Genuinly one of the best tutorials on RUclips lol. To the point. Confident. Explained. Demoed.
This saved me! I had a huge scratch in my hood form a metal snow shovel (my mistake, I know) and I fixed it this morning with this method, it’s looking brand new!! Thanks so much Chris!!
Even after removing the scratches, it is still a PT cruiser, darn it.
thanks for the video Chris.
Yep. He was basically polishing a turd.
Mosin Master yes that's totally true
Even tho I spent hours fixing the scratches made against a fence, your tutorial literally saved me hundreds of bucks! Thank you so much for all the step by step explanation :) !!
Accidentally scratched my car. I was looking for every video but wasn’t really specific. came to this and you explained it amazingly. Great Video!
This is the video I was searching for where they tell us the steps. Usually people just use a machine and compound but I was told there’s more to it. Thanks my man. I’ll order the stuff and do this tomorrow morning
Oh you said 3000 grit, not 300 grit! Oh boy did i mess this up!!
300 works fine too... just keep scrubbing until you don't see any door.
@@shaggydawg5419 Oh, thanks for the tip! 😂

Is this permanent? Do you need to reapply the wax every few months or whenever I take it to the car wash?

I don't what I like more, your explanation or the shiny result at the end. this is absolutely brilliant video. Thanks Chris. Much appreciated.

I Just finished fixing a car scratch I recently got on a rental. I was freaking out and worried I had to pay fees to fix after having my own car in the shop. Chris, thank you so much. The way you explained everything, I felt very confident in executing the project to repair the scratch before returning it. Once I was finished I couldn’t stop smiling! It looks brand new.

One of the best DIY repair videos I've ever watched. You explained who what when and the why. Thank you.
It’s 2022 now. I followed your steps. Instead of using Scratch X, I used the polish that you used in your deep scratch video. It works fantastic!!!! Your video is still helping us today!!! You should be proud of yourself!
Glad to hear that! That’s the goal.
3:38, if you're a car guy, you won't care because it's a PT Cruiser!
Exactly haha! I wasn't the only one :)

You can't even give these cars to car guys.
i'm a car guy and didn't learn a single thing because you never told me to look back after looking away lol

Same here. So because I didn't learn anything I just put some duck tape over my scratch and now the car looks much better
Hahahahahahahaha best joke ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Been five years now since I looked away , Is it okay to look back now anyone ❓

Just wanted to thank you ChrisFix for repairing rust video. I have a 2007 VW Rabbit that rusted around the wheel wells. It took me about 1 month of rewatching your video fifty times but I was able to fix the rust all around my wheel wells and the rear hatch emblem. It was a lot of work but I learned so much. And my friends said it couldn't be done and that it will look bad in the summer because its bondo and guess what it is totally fine and you can't even tell. THANK YOU.

Dude, this is a life saver. Went through an alley and there was an extremely tight turn I though I cleared. When I wiped the scratches with a Clorox wipe to get the yellow paint off, most of the scratches disappeared, while it was wet. So, I was happy to know the scratches weren't too bad. I just did it know how to remove them, but now I know.

Had a K-9 unit search my sister's car. Jumped up on the car all the way around the perimeter and left scratches all over the place. Nothing was done about it and there was no reason for the vehicle to be searched. The cop's excuse for it was that the dog smelled "hard drugs" and that they are only trained to smell out "hard drugs". All my sister had in the car was her medications for her heart problems and other medical issues. Still pretty sad that nothing was done about it.
That's bullshit. I'd be pissed.
I've seen them completely rip interiors apart, removing seats, cutting upholstery, ripping out carpet, and nothing was done for them either. Consider your sister lucky.

Following having received a deep scratch just like the one you created, for yourself, I gave your tips a try. I must admit to getting quite worried when I had the dull area but the shine did indeed reappear after compound and even though I know the scratch was there even I cannot see it anymore. Congratulations on a nice well- explained video.
Did the wax wash off were you eventually able to see the area you sanded down with time?
So how long does the wax last? Should we keep waxing the area regularly?
@@uncouthyouth2433 you will have repaired the paintwork but thinned the clear coat. I wax occasionally just to keep a shine going over all the car. Obviously some waxes are harder and longer lasting than others. No right answer here.
One of the greatest RUclips videos ever made!
Incredible stuff when you consider there are body shops that will pay you $500 to polish your car and still doesn’t address the issue.
Now my ‘23 Corolla hatchback is just as new. Had crazy amount of scratches (11 total) because of a lazy contractor who was painting my neighbor’s house and had overspray on my car and tried to wash off the paint. It got to a point where he overdid it and really did some serious damage to it. All I can say is, thank you. Chris’s video really works people. It just takes time and effort.
I hope he compensated you for the damages

I’m a horrible driver and my car is basically one big scratch. It’s in the mechanic right now so I had to convince my sister to let me use her car. It was hard to do because she knows how bad I am at driving. After a lot of yelling and fighting,, she finally let me use it. I drove myself to work today and scratched it on a concrete pole🥲🥲🥲. I haven’t tried to fix it yet but I’m on my way to Bunnings now and I’m super hopeful!!!! You’ve saved my life
The best explained video with real scratch, with best result. Just perfect job. Big thumbs up. Thank you.
Thanks!
Scratching your own car made my muscles involuntarily hit the subscribe button like spasm. Good job!!!
Wow, you articulated these instructions so well. I can't wait to try this tonight, you certainly made it look easy. My wife just put 3 nice scratches on the red cherry tint coat of our 2021 Camaro convertible. She's literally been heartbroken over it. Hopefully you are going to help me be the hero of the day. I will reply with the results.
Thank you for this video, I went to a body shop today to get some minor scratches off my car and they estimated the repair to be at least $3K. I found your video and decided to grab everything you mentioned for about $60. Spent an hour and got my car cleaned up great!
I couldn't believe this would work, until I saw it with my own eyes! I repaired some scratches on my wife's car with a slight variation to what you described in the video. First I used a small piece of 2500 grit wet and dry paper soaked in washing up liquid which I scrubbed perpendicular to the scratch. As I did this I started to panic as the paintwork went from high gloss to a dull haze but I continued until the scratch was gone. Once finished I washed the treated area then polished it using Poorboy's World Super Swirl Remover 2.5 grade - already the shine started to come back. Then finally I polished with T-Cut a couple of times before a final wash and wax. My wife can't believe the result and neither can I! For those of you reluctant to use sandpaper on your car, the grades you are using are ultrafine, it's smooth to the touch.
What about the haze, after the car wash and rain?
Theo, it's now 2 months since I did the work and it is still looking fine despite plenty of rain and washing. If you have any haze left then you need to use more 'swirl remover' type polish, which is basically ultrafine grit. Good luck!
that scratch you made physicaly hurt me

Thank you so much! You are a top guy!!!

This would be a really wrong time to miss one "0" when buying a sand paper.
Definitely wrong 😂
😆
Oof
What a banger of a video. Can't believe how well this worked. You're the man!
Bruh! You just saved my life on my brand new Mercedes, I was crying. Subscribed! Thank goodness for you🎉❤ I need help with the door panel scratched, and back on fold in side mirrors, searching your videos, now.
Great instruction dude!!!!!! my car needs a polish!! Thank u!!
An extremely useful video. You explained each and every step really well. Thank you so much.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! My car is pre-owned, it suffered from minor scratches all around the car. At first, i didn't care, but it started annoying me every time I opened the car handle. I would always see it. I tried this and it worked! You are the BEST! Thank you so much!! ❤ I wish I could show you my before and after pictures!
I've seen a lot of videos about how to remove scratches but this video is by far the most well detailed explained video on how to remove scratches. I actually bought what was needed and actually did what I watched and the end results were amazing. I give this video two thumbs up. Thanks for an awesome video Chris ...
Saw your video 2 days ago, did all the steps on the scratches in my car, now Im back to thank you! It really works!

TheBlablabla3016 Did you get the haze back after a feee days or weeks ?
A detailed and gradual explanation! Well done!
The best demonstration of clearcoat scratch repair I could find!

So happy I found this video, thanks for sharing Chris.

This video is 7 years old. Yet, it works. Follow the steps and removed 2 long scratches from my Sienna.
Thank you!
Man, when seeing this video, I can't say I didn't have my doubts. But after buying the same products and doing it just how the instructor said to do it. I got the results I was seeking, 101% would recommend it! Thank you for the amazing lesson.
