Works perfectly. You have saved me from a slow, painful death at the hands of my mother.
Awesome!! Glad the video was helpful!
Rockaway Mall?
Nat M me right now lmao
Ana Vee I'm in the same boat, hopefully this works if not my mom is gonna kill me!!
Nat M for me is my father who's gonna kill me if I don't get rid off that scuff 😂
Guy who did the damage knew it was Chris' Corvette, just so Chris could make a scuff mark video.
😂😂😂😂
Sorry Chris !
😲 makes sense LOL
+KERS you bastard xD
He/she such a nice person
Had to do this on my new corolla yesterday! Ended up hitting our fence in the driveway and had lots of green scuffs on it.. they all disappeared thanks to this video though! Thank you teacher 🙏
Holy cow Chris! Had a couple of scuffs on my SUV and my wife’s SUV. Been dreading a fix. Saw your video and tried it. Can honestly tell you it took me longer to watch the video than to remove the scuffs from both cars! And now to see that this video is 6 years old? Timeless. Thanks for posting. Left in disbelief!😮
I don't even own a car but these are interesting to watch
Peety "P.T" Me neither. I do want to learn how to take care of a car, and even fix it up so I avoid getting scammed.
me too no money :( but i am a car guy and my dad too
he worked at nissan for 34 years
Got my first car just recently :) It's a 1998 renault megane coupe :P I know it's not a great car but it has only been driven 168,000km and it's in great condition. Only paid 700€ for it :D
Peety "P.T" lol ikr im 12
Peety "P.T" me 2
Could you upload a video on how to remove bullet holes please, been a looooooooooong week
yes. please do chris. it will help us out.
Yeah I kinda need this one too. It has been a HELL of a week..
Tahir Mahmood 😂 well that made my day.
How about the missle hole in mine it's been a looooong hour!
Oxygen peroxide helps get blood out. Jus saying
Accidentally scraped my mom's van against a wall in a parking lot, freaked out, watched this video, and fixed it, and my parents don't know a thing. THANK YOU!!!
Haha nice
Same here bro
I will try this tomorrow, tried driving white VW Caddy into shed but ice has packed to ground making it higher and top of the shed (which is red) lightly scratched Caddy's roof.
I just did it rn actually I am cooked it’s big scratches
Thank you so much!!!!
Someone left a paint transfer on my car door a few months ago and every time I get in my car it makes me angry that someone would do that to my beautiful car!
I followed your instructions and the car door looks perfect again!!
You have totally made my day, and saved me from my constant daily frustration!
Thanks Chris!
Who doesn’t have a car but loves his videos? I do!
Thanks for the support
I’m only 9 and I still watch his vids....
Hey ChrisFix! Love your vids! You are the best RUclipsr ever!
I mean.... i |might| get a moped for my b-day, but im not so sure
Wolf 4545, I have a 2004 dodge Dakota and I'm 10 years old
Hi Chris. You have no idea how much your video saved me from being yelled at by my wife. I scratched the side of her car going into the garage. I thought for sure I would have to bring it to a body shop and pay a damn deductible. I knew if I went through your channel I would find something to fix it and I did. Thank you for sharing you fixes with us.
Be careful she doesn't read this ;)
Reminds me of a home improvment episode when he wrecked the Chevy Nomad
Lmao I seriously thought this guy was gonna say; “ I scratch my wife’s white minivan in a parking lot where some random red car was parked in the middle of no where!?” XD
Chris: Fixer of cars, saver of marriages.
Thank you so much for all
Mom: why are you laughing?
Me: nothing
My brain: hehe *soapy wooder*
Thank you, Chris! We just used this technique on my wife's X1 - looked terrible before we did it and now you can;t tell it ever happened. We both appreciate your kindness in making this video very much!
When Chrisfix cars get damaged or broke down, instead of paying someone to do it, he does it himself and gets paid by youtube..
“if you’re good at something, don’t do it for free”
Damn that’s facts .. really good insight
If you love what you're doing, it won't matter.
I mean, if I really followed that, I'd be pretty miserable. It's cynical. You might as well live alone in northern Canada, or an airforce base in Greenland.
"Sometimes the damage is deeper "lol just sounded funny, like you were still hurt from the scratch lol😂
lol
Who scratch ur Corvette
Anthony Coronado joe Ican’tdrive
@@chrisfix my heart hurt for you. I'm like damnit not his corvette :(. I hate when people hit or scratch your car when it's parked. I cannot stand driving anymore with these crazy drivers.
This is the video I was searching for online. Clear instructions. Simple, easy steps... Perfect.
Thanks, Chris.
2021 almost 2022... and another person is thanking you for this fix. I can't explain the agony you saved me.
My area was MUCH MUCH larger on the rear fender... once the paint came off my mind was blown I only had 1 actual scratch.
Thank you dude.
Glad the video was helpful!
Same
A good day: when the same color car scrapes yours.
Never happens .
@@unclerogelio3636 You'll never *notice* it happens because its the same color (joke)
Actually, that's virtually impossible, because my corvette is orange and an orange dodge viper made my door panel off-color, the viper was a custom color, just so you know.
Asmith 1111 weird flex but ok
Even better if YOUR paint was gone before the same coloured car scratches you and they share their paint with you.
Sometimes, the damage is a little deeper.
Damn Chris. You okay?
das funny
I don’t get it...
@@jamesbond6214 Me Too :(

Thanks! This is so important when you have a collection of nice cars!
It’s definitely important to know!
Calm down richy rich
@@chrisfix 4 years ago!?! I’m just binge watching Chris fix
Lol it won't work on your collection of toy cars Daniel, just use soap on them, they're only toys.
Yes especially a show car like a red corvette
Just followed this step by step and it worked like a charm on old paint transfer from house stucco- Chris you’re a lifesaver.
I love the fact that there are no swear words, no profanity, no nasty language of any kind. It's very refreshing and noteworthy. Great work overall.
shit youre right
ChrisFix is very gentale man. listen to his voice he just want to help.
Ahhh shit I forgot my keys
That's great for the kiddos, but its what led to youtube in post-2010 being garbage.

Yesterday there was a red scuff on the door of my white Fiesta...hmmm.
Anyway, I removed it successfully with the help of this video. Thanks Chris!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lulz!
serves you right for owning such hideous car
CHRIS!!! I fixed my paint scuff two days ago when I was leaving for work and pulling out of my garage at 6AM, admittedly half asleep. Thank you so much for a $15 fix! This is the first video of yours that I actually got to act on, and, I must say, I'm astonished at how good it came out!
Is it still good to this day? I'm considering to try it out
Another gem, Chris. I started with WD-40 and moved to the rubbing compound. However, my paint scuff must have been a little more substantial, so I recruited my thumbnail with rubbing compound for the more stubborn area of the scuff. It took a while and my hands were a little fatigued but it worked beautifully! You can also feel when the paint has been removed by the smoothness under your thumb. Hopefully, this will remind me to be more careful pulling into the garage! Thanks again!
Glad this video was able to help you!
3 years later this saved me from getting in trouble with my mom’s car 😌 thanks Chris 🙏🏾
First of all, whoever DISLIKED this more than likely did not know what they were doing or don't know how to follow instructions... Because my god thank you so much for making this video!!!!!!!!!!! I just got a new car recently and me not even noticing I saw this same damage on my car.. In a panic told my dad he was PISSED and we didn't know what to do. To take it to a body shop and pay hundreds of dollars? I think not.. So I found your video, showed my dad and he thought it was a great video and that we should try it. So after putting in some elbow grease.... It's like it never happened!!!!! It's completely gone!!!!!! I can't believe it. Just wanted to thank you thank you for making this video so much. You seriously saved us so much time and money and I am forever grateful to you!
lovelyyy78 Whoever disliked the video must be the one who hit the vette and his/her evil followers
what is the elbow grease?
Nuno Pereira - Elbow Grease is something that social welfare receiving blacks in America never have to worry about. Besides, they wouldn't know what it is anyways.
This really works. The paint transfer. on my car had apparently been there for years ( I’ve only owned the car a couple of months). Twenty minutes and it was fixed. It takes a lot of elbow grease but works well. Great video Chris. Note: take a before and after picture.
Is it still good to this day? I'm considering to try it out
I followed these steps on the family car and I couldn’t believe all the scuff marks came off as quick and as easy as in the video. Thank you very much for videos like this.
I'll test this on my neighbor's car first
lol
lmao

A nice dinner at JC Penney
It was at a mall
Lol
Lol food court
LMAO 😂
I’m Aussie so I don’t know what JC Penney is
Thank you. This worked after someone sideswiped my car when I was shopping. There's a few deep scratches that didn't come out, but you can't notice it unless you're up really close. I'm going to do more HW on how to fix this myself. Thank you again
I just want you to know that your videos are still helpful 5 years later! Bless you so much!
This video really helped me remove this red paint I had on my car for like 3 years on my car idk how it got there but all I remember that I was driving by a really nice car
I see what you did here
@@awahady6864 What did he do?
trafficracer24 chirs said he was hit by a white car and this video is 3 years old and this guy saying he was the one who hit his car . As a joke obviously
LMAO
@@awahady6864 god bless you
Without you we wouldnt have this video
Does it wipe out parking tickets too?
Jonathan Simes lol
Jonathan Simes xD
Nice one
Yes, just spray the cop with WD 40 and run away.
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Chris! Followed this exactly with my Gilfriends jeep. Came off and worked like a charm. Your the man!!!
Thanks for these videos Chris. You never waste our time and always end up answering all my questions by the end.
I know that color.. it's Dodge Mini-Van white. The scourge of automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts everywhere.
I've heard before that white vans are also the scourge of British motorists.
Holy cow batman,a white dodge mini van just gave my brand new car a white 3 inch by 8 inch rub.curse you minivan
Dodge minivans suck
@@owl7339 no u
Dizasta you have two assholes on your nose
Just watched this today, and went to business on the van my grandma gave me. Needless to say, a few hours and lots of looking for marks later, I'm thoroughly impressed with the results. It was so bad prior to doing this I lost track of new and old marks- Thanks Chris!
One the most easy to follow, straight to the point videos I have seen. Thank you
Fantastic! My wife scraped a yellow pylon with our red car. This video saved me a trip to the body shop to see if they could remove the paint. Thanks a bunch!
You are, again, a life saver.
And to anyone reading this beforehand, dont use too much WD40 otherwise it give your paint a faded look.
Thanks a lot!
I might have actually used too much because my black paint now looks dull where the other paint transfer was. Can it be saved?
@@RickyWilder Did you find a way to save it?
@@SVMSICE So far no. I don’t know if a buffing compound is needed or if I’m screwed. Either way, I haven’t tried anything more than cleaning. Did your paint lose its gloss?
@@RickyWilder Oh I bought a used Dakota and there is a section on the door where maybe someone tried to do something but the gloss just isn’t right in a circle about 6” across. Not really a big deal honestly just thought you might have discovered a good fix after you were describing a similar issue. I don’t think and rubbing compound is a solution for it though, but 🤷🏻♂️. I was thinking maybe a light coat of clear coat with a light sand but again 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for this video Chris - you're a lifesaver! Some kook side swiped my car in the parking lot and put a big mark/scratch on the door. The panel beater wanted $1,300 to fix it! My car is only worth $4k. So I took your advice and got most of the mark off myself in about 10 minutes. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Awesome! I am glad the video was helpful!
Chris, your method worked like a dream. My brand new white F-150 was hit by a boat trailer at the ramp parking lot. Black paint transfer onto my white truck’s bumper. My truck looks brand new now after a quick 20 minutes using your method. THANK YOU!
Well...this video gets my vote. I literally had everything in my house and went out to try it. I have a white chevy cruze and I had some sort of grey car hit me pretty hard where the scuff marks and paint transfer covering most of the corner of my bumper. Used your easy method and holy crap...it was like the heavens had opened up and gave me access to being a body shop repair guy! HAHA...not really but dear lord I would have never had thought of this in a million years! Thank you for being part of my RUclips University for my car. Onto changing out (almost) the complete braking system. Looks pretty easy from other RUclips University videos I've watched. You are a super star!
This worked perfectly on my car even a couple days after the paint scratch! Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad the video was helpful!
Someone opened their car door and hit my car. My car is black and theirs was obviously white. I tried to just clean it off without success. Found this video and followed it. Cleaned the mark area, sprayed WD40 on it, rubbed a Magic Eraser and it disappeared. I then did the compound/polish then wax to seal it up. Looks good again! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Awesome! I am glad the video was helpful!
I've got hundreds of those marks on my car, ppl seem to like hitting my car for some reason
Carlo C good for you
Ypi
I had a pretty long area to clean, but after about an hour and a half I got it all off and it looks great! Thank you so much for this video!!
Worked great. Tried this today after having the paint transfer on my car for 2 years. Thank you.
Chris:Hey Mom can you back into my car
Chris mom:why Chris
Chris: I need a video
Lmao
Behind the scenes
this is what i think really happend
Thanks so much for this video, Chris. I had a pretty big scuff, but after 45 minutes with the magic eraser it is nearly invisible. I can live with the result. Saved me the $600 I was quoted for a professional repair. The windscreen clean videos were also great. Thanks for all your videos, they are fun to watch and very informative.
Dry sponge worked better than wet in my case. Thank you Chris!
Hey Chris! This is what the internet/RUclips is REALLY useful for. Assisting people all over the world! Good for you!
man bright red car. parked out and away. and still something. people man. can't ever have nothing nice. bright side at least the damage wasn't worse.
+Jeffrey Digrazia amazing right!?
ChrisFix >>> I hate to be cynical, but as far away as you were parked from everyone else that day, I would have to believe that someone had to drive up & do it on purpose. I mean... someone would have to *TRY* to do that.
yea i feel like a times, if they see like a perfect/new car that has no sort of damage to it, i feel like people damage it on purpose so that you car can look like the other cars on the lot. Or people are so careless about driving and parking.
Thx, this video will keep me from choking a Co worker.
You freaking rock dude. I just fixed my truck. I watched 2 of your videos about fixing scratches and it worked. I thought I was going to have to take it in to get it fixed. Thank you so much.
We tried this and it worked great!! We were stunned at how easy it was. Thanks Chris!!
Thanks, Chris! The simple and effective instruction worked perfectly on a MASSIVE paint scuff my new car suffered backing into my garage. It looked horrific before, but is almost imperceptible now.
So aesthetically pleasing to watch! It relieves my anxiety about my car. Love your videos! Thank you!!
Thank a million you for your video. It helped me fix the paint on my car. Really appreciate the time you take to show step-by-step. Followed your steps and it all came off so beautifully.
Explaining every step in detail? Perfection. Thank you.
I just can’t thank you enough for this. It saved my hide more than once. Now it’s the primary method I use to clean paint transfer and scuffs off of my family’s cars. My cousins and parents appreciate this immensely.
Oh my god dude! I know this is two years later but you saved us 400 DOLLARS! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE AWESOME TRICK AND TUTORIAL!!!
The SkyBat skeptical on trying this, did it work. I think my paint transfer was a little than this more of a brush scrape. It’s a Cadillac and I know my hit and or bump and run will cost more than my 500 deductible
Wow cris fix me and my dad worked on cars so I know somewhat about cars but when I get stuck on something that I completely don’t know about I search up your videos and they help a lot , you explain things so much easier then these other videos I watch , even if nothing is wrong with my car I just watch your videos and learn from them my dad lives far a different state from me so I can’t really talk to him much but your videos helped alot , thank you and keep up the work ❤️🙏
I literally just followed this video and it worked like magic!! ChrisFix has saved me hundreds
FUN FACT new corvettes have dash cameras built in.
fun fact. Hitler had a nephew named William Patrick Hitler, who fought against him as part of the U.S Navy. cool eh?
yea bud
I think every car should be required to have dash cams built in
IVoidwarrantys They better for the price!
MisterDoctorProfessor but then insurance companies would lose a ton of money
Just wanted to say thanks. 4 years later and your video helped me remove a scuff with amazing results.
Thank you, saved the day for me. Brushed the sides pulling out of a tight garage with a similar looking scratch as yours. I was researching all kinds of touch up paint solutions but WD40 did the job perfectly.
I still find it awesome that Chris Fix is still active with fans on videos that are 4 years old
Really well done, thank you. You probably saved me a lot of money. I also got a paint transfer on my front bumper. Got 3 estimates:
$480, $200 and just $60. The $60 was using the procedure you showed on your video. The other 2 wanted to remove my bumper.
Thank you.
Chris thank you SO MUCH. I just used this on the door of my grey SUV that had major red paint transfer on it. And it's gone! Wow thank you!!
we need more awesome people like you chris , don't let negativity stop you from great work.
This worked PERFECTLY!!!!! Thank you for posting this video 5 years ago. Just completely removed a large paint scuff :D Like a charm!
Chris fix saves my day once again, driving a rental car overseas and I was staying on a narrow, congested street. There's lots of motorbikes and bicycles where I'm at , needless to say I left the car alone for an hour came out and it had a huge black scratch from the passenger headlight to the rear quarter panel, someone side swiped it with their mirror I presume. After a few long minutes of hitting it with some soap and Wd-40 it came right out. After that I waxed it over and it looks like new. Can't thank you enough for all your helpful videos.
Chris, you do a great job of explaining how to fix and repair minor issues with paint and scratches, thanks keep up the good work.
It's been 7 years ago you made this video and your information is still valueable today. I tried your method and 20 mins later, all the yellow and white paint transfer from backing into a parking wall came off my bumper, thanks for your advice.
I'm surprised all it took was a little WD40 and a magic eraser. I was scared I would have to pay to get work done on it, but it came off relatively easy. Car looks brand new again. Thanks, man!
Glad this worked well for you!
This video saved me a $900 paint correction bodywork quote! I purchased $45 in materials and spent 2 hours removing white paint off of my dark blue car and all that's left is a small dent. Great video!
This method worked out GREAT! for my Tesla Model S. Thanks for taking the time out to do this video to help myself and others.
Awesome!
Thanks again Chris you make things look so easy to fix!!! You are awesome!!
Dude. My mom had some minor paint transfer on her 2014 Subaru Outback and this removal process worked like a charm. Many thanks.
All the stuff u show will be helpful when I get a car
+DO GE awesome!
ChrisFix my sister's car was scratched today and got paint transfer only and thanks to this helpful video it is now gone! Thank you so much ChrisFix for your help!
It annoys me when I park at the back of the parking lot some douchebag always has to park next to me while there are many other parking spots and they either scratch my car or door ding it
Right?!
Left?!
@@xLeidenFrost stfu
no.
@@xLeidenFrost WTH is LEFT?!😂
Life saver!! Unfortunately I had a couple underlying scratches but touch up paint is on the way! Thank you 😊
Your method worked like a charm. I was amazed at the results Someone left about a 16" long paint transfer on my Jeep. Not visible anymore
, no trip to the body shop, thank you!
16 yr old fresh driver was on his phone yesterday and ran right into my car (that i just got painted) my bumper is pushed out a bit and cracked but luckily it's just some paint transfer, I was really pissed but felt bad for him cause it was his 1st accident. I told him to stay off his phone from now on, and today I'll be getting her cleaned up.
Dang that’s a bummer but good on you keeping the kid calm. Hopefully it buffs out and it’s like it didn’t happen.
Kyle Smith what a pisstake
should of called his parents and told them their kid was using the phone and driving and crashed! he will probably keep doing it since in his mind he got away with it
Hopefully the repair is coming from his wallet. You fucked up if you shrugged it off.
Kyle Smith I don't see how people text and drive, I'm actually too scared to pull my phone out in drive...maybe it's because I care about my car, maybe I don't want to risk it, or maybe it's because my car pulls slightly to the right so letting go of the wheel for more that 4 seconds would end with me in a tree, or a combination of all of that (going to get an alignment soon)
This tip seriously works, thank u for saving me from my mother's wrath
H Bewley haha
I know this is almost a 5 yr old video but I just watched this and THANK YOU for this. I had a very noticeable streak of white”paint transfer” on the nose of 1995 Cobra for literally 10 to 12 yrs! Every time I saw it it drove me nuts and I thought that only a body shop (money) could fix this...so I just kept delaying and delaying this. After watching this video, I did exactly what you demonstrated and took my time and it is gone!! It looks great! Thanks again.
This method worked perfectly on my Volvo XC60 that got scuffed up on the front right fender area. Thanks ChrisFix, I’ve learned a lot from you!
Joe Icantdrive is gonna have to pay for that
thegrassmaster2 I laughed at that hahaha
Great video! Saved my bacon when I got a paint scuff on a rental car! Cleaned right up, the company never knew - thanks!
Followed the instructions worked like a charm-THANK YOU!
Hey, man! I tried your paint transfer removal fix. Worked like a charm. Thanks.
This works! Turned my frown upside down. I was seriously pissed until I got it fixed by following the instructions in the video.
+Brandon Marshall glad the video was helpful!
"And, take, a look, at that!" 😂 I love chrisfix helpful as always
This worked like a champ to remove a bright yellow scuff from a guidepost I brushed at my kids' school--all with items I had already. Practical, useful gold.
Worked like a charm, thanks! Just took a little patience, but also saved me a ton of money, and now I've learned another handy DIY trick. :)
I don't usually put much into these hack fixes BUT this worked 100%. There were a few factors. First it must be topical paint transfer. It can't be embedded into the paint job. Second your directions and instructions were spot on. And third you MUST have patients. Thanks again for this video. My red mustang looks as good as new. BTW it was yellow paint transfer from a parking lot pole.
Glad the video was helpful!
This man is a genius
Chris, I just used this video. Your method worked like a charm! Thanks man!
Chris, you are such a lifesaver! Worked like a charm at a cheap price!
