  • In this video I will show you a few tricks on how to remove or hide scratches on your car, but also I'll go over how you can permanently remove and fix light and deep car scratches in your clear coat by hand. I will show you what types of sand paper that is needed, the rubbing compound to use and again there is no need for a rotary polisher or a Dual Action or Random Orbital Polisher.

    This is top advice, thanks.
    Btw, you can easily hide scratch marks on your furniture that the puppy makes by leaving a car in your living room.

    Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀

    I'm a single mom, and recently inherited my dads 1997 Chevy Z71 when he passed away. It's actually in pretty good shape, other than oxidation and pollen from sitting uncovered in the elements. I'm trying to restore and detail inside and out as much as I can on a budget. I've watched tons of videos, and yours by far is one of the most informative I've seen. I look forward to seeing more. Thank you.

    I find that rubbing compound on a damp cloth (LIGHTLY) and removed with wet cloth asap followed by polishing compound works good. I do this after touch ups too. Always save any exterior parts you have replaced because you can practice on them:)

  • @titojones6204
    @titojones6204 7 лет назад

    Hi Great Video learned alot.
    What would be the difference between using the wet sanding or dry sanding??
    Is there a reason to use one over the other???
    Thank you again
    God Bless

    • @myRatchets
      @myRatchets  7 лет назад +2

      When wet sanding the water acts as lubricant, it keeps the dust down, and it also keeps the paper clean longer and therefore provides more direct contact between the grit and the surface. However it gets messy and all over the panel, but over all it is best when doing big jobs. Dry sanding creates dust, also it doesn't allow for direct contact between the grit and the surface since it gets clogged. Generally speaking wet sanding is over clear coat and sometimes primer/sealer finishes and dry sanding is over body filler, primer/sealer or bare area's. Unless you are working on a very small area as in this video, in which case it doesn't make a huge difference. cheers

  • @AZTHYSELF
    @AZTHYSELF 5 лет назад +2
