Finally, a process I can get me head around. I thought you were going to use the blade to shave down the high spot but when I saw it used as a spreader of the paint I loved it.
A good honest video which makes a refreshing change from those videos showing miraculous like new results. This video is honest and shows a honest true result. This method with a razor blade seems unbelievable as you think a metal razor blade will damage the paint. But this guy states clearly to use the slightest of pressure. Just one hint for you bud. A slightly better result could have been obtained by using a thicker paint, a thinner brush and doing shorter sections. This reduces massively the amount of excess paint. Yes it takes longer but the results make it worth it. Very good video m8. Well done 👍
... would it make sense to use a tape up and down the scratch to have only a small line with the scratch? Now go on like shown, remove the tape and the scratch is filled more / higher ... go on with the sand paper ...
Great technique. I wonder if taping on both the sides of the deep crack, forming a very narrow visible surface and then doing this technique, will avoid the excess paint on the body and limit the work area?
Also after taping paint only scratch with touch up. Do around 4 or 5 layers. Then the scratch will be filled. Then remove tape and wet sand until there's no ridge on the added paint.
@@toms6928 Yes. Even when paint is touch dry or even dry enough to flat back it carries on shrinking. The longer it is left to stabilise before it is rubbed back or polished the better.
I've tried this method on a metallic car, it seems like it's not meant for it. The result was not same as solid color. Anyway, thank you for sharing this knowledge. It does help me to get rid of scratches on my solid paint car. 😊 Always wait for your new videos.
Fantastic process. I've always struggled with scratches. I seen a video where they used the blade to shave the high spots but your method is much better.. Thank you for the insight 🙂
Thanks, I like the idea with a razor. My biggest problem in these kind of repairs is the sanding process when You not only sanding out the excess of paint but You're also sanding out the clearcoat that sits all around. You may end up getting through to the base color and then the problem gets worse.
Still worth a try, if the worst happens take it to the paint shop but if not you may well end up with the results achieved in this video and you will have saved yourself a few pennies.
It would take a lot of effort to go through the clear with 4,000 grit paper. If the paint had been compounded and polished a bunch of times then perhaps but if it's virgin clear coat the 4k paper isn't going to cut that much. You'd have to apply quite a bit of pressure and really go to town to get through it.
As a detailer myself that is a very very good touch up, in come cases this touch up has a better outcome than actually respraying the whole door because depending on the color match and in most cases the metalic flake in metalic paint types when it's sprayed can make the whole door stand out under sunlight and at night under street lighting.
A good shop can make the metallics sit perfectly , he did say this is a solid colour so should be no issues . As you know new cars come with thin soft paints and I don’t know if this method would be suitable
Thanks for uploading the video its very informative. One question I have is can you use this method with metallic paints like diamond silver for instance? Thanks
Nice work, nice video. I have used a similar process with more than satisfactory results. Always best to keep as much of the original paint as possible in my opinion. No one likes a resprayed panel.
What else can I use if I can't make that tool and have nothing to be making one out of out of metal with? to be getting the excess paint off of my car and after I put it in over the scratch?
Makes me wonder...what if you would redo the whole process again to fill the last hardly visible line? Would that not result in a 0 visible scratch at the end?
Which polish do you think will give a more suitable and better glossy finish without hardly any holograms if applying by hand foam applicator working it for a little? It is for light-scratch removal that doesn't have any fillers and glaze? Maybe Sonax perfect finsih? Sonax 03-06? or Koch M3.02? I don't know
@@Amddetailing 100% It's very well done work given that fact don't get me wrong.. I recently had something similar on my bumper and tried to blend it in without painting the whole section but the results didn't satisfy, therefore I just painted the whole section and not trusting my work I ended up applying paint protection film to the bumper to make sure the new paint does not chip away in the future
He has the shakiest hands! I am also wondering if the 'after' shot is actually the 'before' shot... I could clearly see the paint not fill all the scratch and would have been visible even when sanded back.
You can just use wet and dry paper (used wet). After using all the papers, finishing with the very fine paper, I use a cutting compound which in my country is called T-Cut. To get best shine the paint must be fully hard. Allow two weeks for it to fully dry.
Sorry for all the comments 😂 I hope I can still find those razor blades here in the US,I remember my dad use them for shaving,it make sense to use those type because they are flexible.
Wonderful! If the only paint I have access to is Pearl white 070 touch up (in a pen from toyota) Could I use that? With or without hardener? I Have some long scratches on the ground effects.
Pozdrav legendo! Kako mogu i da li mogu uraditi duboku ogrebotinu na autu koja je skoro do lima promjera 0,5 do možda 1cm.? Bilo mi biciklo na nosaču i amortizer grebao zadnju haubu 30km. 🥲 Baš sam ogulio farbe.
I did this on a few scratches on a black car. The result is acceptable, but far from "as new" (But of course way better than do it with a scratch repair pen). Yes, it's not noticable from 1 meter and hard to see on camera, but when you sell your car and teh buyer inspects the body panels carefully, then he will notice it. But of course you did your best to repair the scratch and that's the maximum you can do with it.
With practise and different methods you can do it to the point that you can't even notice.. I have done smaller repairs where you would never be able to tell even if you knew where to look..
I did some practice with a touch up pen on a big stone chip on a wheel arch. Yes I took a lot of time, many paint appliances and rubbing down. In the end it was invisible from all angle even up close. I guess it depends if its your car as opposed to a clients, and how much time you have.
Nice work. Just one point of criticism though: In your final segment, the outside scene, the focal point of your video is set pretty much to infinite (the trees reflecting on the car's panel are in focus), making it harder to judge the result of your work. Auto focus will usually do this, because the trees (or any other objects reflecting on the car's panel) are pretty much the only discernable objects for auto focus to act on. Because it's hard to have your recording device focus on a car's panel, I use the following trick when I want to photograph or film a defect on the panel: put your finger right next to the point of interest, and then have your camera focus on your finger. Then lock your focus. Now you can film the car's panel with the correct focal point. Instead of a finger, you can also use for example a piece of cloth. Anything that the auto focus mechanism can "use" to set focus to the correct distance. (I hope this was somewhat clear, I'm no native English speaker).
First: this is a channel where there is no obfuscation second: it is better to do this than to have to paint the entire side third: if I wanted to hide it so it wouldn't be seen, I couldn't do it with the help of focus fourth: watch the other videos where I show with my finger from a distance of 2 cm where the lawsuit is and what is left of it until it is not noticeable from a distance of 10 cm.
@@Amddetailing this youtuber wasn't criticizing your work but instead he was giving you advice on how to record the video of the final result in order to auto focus better on the panel so your recording shows a better video distinction of the focus point that is being recorded, if this makes sense
No need for that man. Like dex said: I wasn't criticizing the work, I was merely giving some tips on how to show the end result to your audience more clearly.
If you layer the touch up paint a few times and let it dry between steps you’ll get a raised level above the scratch, then you level that and sand in steps til you get to 5000 grit, you’ll get rid of the scratch.
I'm curious about how this will work with a metallic beige paint. I think I'm gonna retry it with this method because the clear is really thin (previously repaired from previous owner) and I already burned through by accident on a tiny spot so I'll try this as it has a lot less leveling required
There was a point where I was like this is going to look like ass, but man thats a good turn around! Way better than just running the brush or pen tool down the scratch.
Great video the recent one you put up with the vw caddy you didn't explain what tools you were using like the fubber I haven't used one before and you used masking tape in that one. other than that it's a great video. I'm guessing you could do this technique on stone chips
Bravo, video kvalitet i komentari na engleskom su sve bolji i bolji.. I use the same method of filling it, although I have to try the razor blade method... I tend to mix a bit of acrylic clear coat together with the basecoat color. In testing I've found it gives a better results and less noticeable..
Could you have done a another coat of paint after the first one was watersand? To fill even more the groove.? But anyway this is the best methode I have seen.
Druže Alene sve pohvale za tvoj rad, a posebno za ove snimke u kojima objašnjavaš sam postupak. Gledajući ovaj video odlučio sam opet pokušati popraviti baš duboke ogrebotine na vratima pa me zanima koji pristup koristiti. U pitanju je siva metalik boja i nisam siguran da li koristiti samo bazu po kodu ili dodati i lak, ili možda akrilnu bazu? U drugom videu sivu metalik boju radiš samo sa bazom i herterom pa me malo zbunjuje. Prije sam probao sa bazom i herterom popuniti rupe ali nije baš išlo. Koliko se suši neki deblji sloj boje kao u videu gdje si ti napravio onu duboku parnicu (kod mene je jedna upravo onakva)? Hvala unaprijed.
It takes 24 hours until the coating is completely dry, but now I have a new method, I use a coating that dries with a UV lamp in 3 to 5 minutes. A video with that method will be released soon

As you know new cars come with thin soft paints and I don’t know if this method would be suitable
@@M.E63 it definitely would be suitable. I speak from experience.
do I need only hardener if the paint is already glossy? If not then use a clearcoat mix with hardener? how much should I mix together with the paint?
Hardener I think is used both as a filler and help the paint stick more in this situation
I learned today that deep scratches need to have the panel repainted for the best and most cost effective result
Thanks for uploading the video its very informative.
One question I have is can you use this method with metallic paints like diamond silver for instance?
Thanks
yes, and thanks for watching and support
Would this procedure work for these new “Tri-Coat” paints with metallic flakes?
it is difficult to do those three-layer colors in this way
What did you use to polish off the scratched area? Was a clear coat applied after sanding.
everything is explained in the video
Hi there. What type of hardener did you use? I’ve got touch up but no hardener. Came with another bottle with lacquer.
