Started using your techniques at my work, getting better everytime, customers are over the moon with the results, money and time saved. Thank you😊
Thank you for taking all the extra time to make these videos. You approach things differently from any of the other channels and make these fixes seem approachable to people who don’t have all of the pro equipment. I’ve been enjoying learning from you. Keep it up!
I also second that comment
Great feedback thanks
Every car body shop in the country must hate this guy. Giving out all the tricks of the trade to save people money...how refreshing is that👍
@@cvrpovwhat was the paint, acrylic ot metallic?
You just can't argue with results such as what you have here. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
So impressed by this.. it seems so easy when done by a professiona...I've never had the courage to start on paint/bodywork repairs but your approach is really almost simplistic to watch...gotta be worth a try...thanks for posting
Nothing less than brilliant. And that's coming from the nephew of a 50yr veteran panelbeater who never told me anything more than the basics. Thank you so much for sharing all these tricks of the trade. Priceless!
Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻👊🏻
@@cvrpov can order from USA?
Very interesting approach. As a DIYer with an interest in keeping our car tidy without going crazy on $£€¥ I get that simply filling a deep scratch with basecoat is a quick simple way to bring the paint surface back up to level without using paint putty and all that hassle .. but I wouldn't have thought of rubbing a base coat laden cloth over the existing clear top coat then sanding/buffing. Intriguing!
No nonsense paintwork repairs, brilliant channel 😎
Thanks mate that's exactly what I'm trying to achieve
Another fantastic video iv been watching you for years and your content genuinely is as straightforward as it gets you explain it in a way that anyone can attempt it. Iv learn so much, I'm a moblie valeter by trade and all the tricks iv picked up over the years helps me offer a better service....so big respect to you.
Much appreciated. Thanks for the support
Where you based mate I’ve got a some chips and a few scratches that need sorting is that something you can do? @nailz84
Common sense and genuine encouragement! Thank you for all your tips and tricks.
Thanks for watching!
Really good tips. Seen this technique done before and is was mind blowing 🤯 No brushes, toothpicks, etc. Just 1 index finger.
Works great on the right damage
Thank you so much for this mate! Not many people share their tricks. Thanks again for a great vid ❤
No problem 👍
Thanks mate. I’ve had a door scratch off a non licensed/insured non English chap who wasn’t too pleasant…I haven’t had a cost for it yet. But looking at this I’m prepared to buy a Halfords Colour code kit and have a go myself before I get ripped…thank you so much👍
Absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t have believed a technique like this would work as well as it did if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. I have a similar project to do on my own car. Hope it works out as well for me!
No problem mate, good luck and enjoy the hobby
Looks fantastic, you’re an artist with mad skills!
What a great skill to have. I remember going to a garage to view a car years ago and running a mile when I saw the scratches and chips on it. I though the salesman was having a laugh when he said it was waiting 'prep'.
Just lazy to be honest
Excellent presentation! Clear description and awesome result!
Glad it was helpful!
This is a great series of videos, I’ve got road rash on the rear arches of my car and going to try this and your other techniques to tidy it up. 👍
Great stuff thanks
Just found your channel and it’s brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques. For somebody with not a lot of money, this is a real life saver! Just for future reference. It’s hard to hear you sometimes when you’re using the machine. Mot sure if you can do anything about and it certainly won’t stop me watching you content. Just subscribed btw😊
Thanks again for your time and excellent guides to help us all with car issues.
No problem
Thanks for the valuable information. It's definitely encouraging and takes away the guess work
"It's not often I go over 10 mins..."
I feel your pain brother! 😆
A timely video. I bought a 22-year-old BMW last week, and as one would expect, it's got quite a bit of road rash, door dings, and scratches. I may give your techniques a try before i take it to a body shop.
I really like this channel. Can’t wait to do it on my vehicles.
You sir are a magician, incredible work and talent.
Thank you! Cheers!
thanks again from Perth WA. I am learning a lot from you for minor paint repairs on both daughters car, thanks for keeping them to around 10 minutes makes it easier to absorb, basically, solvent paint, 1500 and 2000 grit and a good compound with a DA or rotary and you can go a long way for DIY repairs if we follow your steps.
Also from Perth 🤙
Your knowledge is worth your weight in gold 🤩
Videos for ordinary people to follow. Excellent 👍
That's what this channel is about mate so I hope that comes across
Having watched how you do it, the result is really surprising. Looks great.
Thanks for watching
GREAT video! Looks flawless to me!!!
Awesome work mate, cheers from Down Under.
Great video but could hardly hear you over the polisher
But the result looked perfect to me 😊
Yes I wasn't aware of this. Probably talking rubbish anyway
I put on the subtitles...
So far Saved me an absolute fortune mate 👏👍
That's great
Thank you Sir, I've learned a few of your techniques. Saved me some good cash.
Hey now. That’s amazing looking 👀. Great video thank you.
Thankyou for sharing these videos mate, much appreciated.
Glad you like them!
Excellent , a body shop would charge a fortune and you made it look so easy, 👍
Perhaps but a good body and paint shop would sand the paint down past the defects, primer it, paint it, and it would be a permanent repair... The only thing I don't know about this type of "repair" is How Long does it last???
Nice work
Thank you for all your effort teaching us
Awesome mate, Truly great result! Well done thanks for sharing
No problem 👍
Very surprised at the finish!! Great informative video
Cheers
Mate that looks fantastic I’ve going to give that a try thankyou
Good stuff mate
Another excellent video. Thanks for uploading 😊
My pleasure!
Great video excellent job
Really enjoyed your demonstration video
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow! Awesome job! Thank you so much. Brilliant.
Thanks for posting, very helpful.
Brilliant video, saving us some money for sure mate 👍
Glad I could help
fantastic video mate thanks for uploading this.
No problem
That's brilliant man. I've got a black car but it's not on the road but my silver car is peppered on the front. I think it might be harder to do but I do have a white peppered van too that it will probably work on 😂 I want to do them all now ffs great work mate
that is just amazing content az i allways say stunning work great channel great work fairplay bro you are just a legend on what you do and shair to all on youtube
Kian your support is always appreciated man
Awesome videos.. Don't mind them being a longer because the info and education value is priceless.
People can always speed up or fast forward if they haven't got the patience.
This was great!!!! Thank you so much I have before and after photos however there is no option to upload them
Very good results, as usual!
And besides being pretty sure that's single-stage paint, I wanted to mention that I've seen some lady in Instagram (DetailGirl, I think) that actually smears on the paint (with a vilt) and then she goes straight to buffing - without sanding.
I suppose that's an option as well. Only on big chips she touches up with a toothpick and sands those a little prior to buffing.
Your input is always appreciated though, CVR POV. Thank you for sharing! 🙂🙏
Greatly apreciate your videos. Thank you buddy ❤
Glad you like them!
Definitely a huge improvement. Thanks
No problem!
Nicely done! Only thing I would add is don't do this (especially the compounding part) outside in direct sunlight (although that applies to pretty much all polishing materials).
Yep I agree
Great transformation best wishes thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you too
Very satisfying to watch.
Beautiful job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely brilliant, great vid & thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've got a black car that's peppered with chips on the front, so you've inspired me to have a crack, cheers 👍
Cheers
Great video!!! I will try this method
Please do! Cheers
New subscriber from the 1st vid i saw of yours you had me at hello:) and also love the fact the narration was drowned out by the buffing tool 😂 im not hating i got the the gist of it... amazing stuff!!
Thanks for watching
A couple of people have mentioned that with the audio..strange as it was fine on my computer but I'll look into that in future thx
Great video, such an eye opener what can be done without full respray. I really could do with this sort of work on my car. Can I book this in with you?
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Class.loving ur videos.thankyou
No probs
Have watch 2 videos from you, love it! And i will try My self now in spring.
But can you please write in the description what you exactly use in your video in detail
From Sweden, love😊
I'm just new to your channel and have a few questions. #1 at what speed do you run your buffer? #2 did you clearcoat and if not how do you blend that into the clearcoated portion? Thank you for posting these, I have much catching up to do. TTFN
Probably clearcoat mixed with base color and then applied
Great tutorials. Did you remove polish before rubbing the paint in.
One word, awesome
Cheers
Excellent Job
Thank you! Cheers!
awesome! do you have tips for fixing pealing clearcoat?
Great DIY. I might just try this technique on a scratch in my bumper. How long are you waiting after you have applied the touch up paint before you started wet sanding and or polishing?
Great video. Quick question, can you use one of the thin brushes in the paint geat kit to fill the scratch. If so would you leave it until the paint has completely dried or would you buff it after a shorter time. Thank you for your informative videos.
Simply brilliant .
Thank you! Cheers!
WOW!! Awesome of you sharing your expertise & secrets. Cheers Mate!! You THE MAN!!
Great video and results! Where do you get “put in your needed color” solvent base coat at? Does solvent base coat go by any other names?Can you tell us the buffer machine you used and pads and where we can buy them? Thanks!
Nice work & nice product! Do you ship outside the UK also (like Netherlands)?
Nice work. what compound did you use? it cuts well and gives a good finish
I love it ❤❤.thanks .that's amazing
Great video! How long you wait till you start wet sanding ?
Ditto the comments here! Very good and doable! Have you a video on refinishing a section of lacquer which has degraded?
No but I will do one
Love your videos, what do you use to prep the area before using paint. Wax remover or do you use anything?
This is great!
Got a quote for 1k to respray the side of a mk6 fiesta because some turnip keyed it...previous owner must have enemies 😂 i got some panther black rattle can spray. Fingered the life out the panels with the paint. I didn't trust the depth of paint to hit it with any sand paper. But i did machine polish a plenty. It really does look so much better. Hardly visible. Perfect for an ageing car. It doesnt have to be perfect. Just presentable.
Hello. Good work one quick question from a noob. Do you mix paint hardener into the paint? No need for a clearcoat before polishing?
Thanks for your time
Great video great channel
Thank you!
Excellent content! Does this last in terms of time. Once the polish wears away from the weather, do you end up with a flat finish that needs polishing again? Thanks
Wow, you can do my car anyday!....I have to park in a local council car park over night, I'm going to try this, to get rid of all the marks where inconsiderate drivers have opened their car doors onto the sides of my car and left lots of marks.
Go for it pal
Good result!
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely outstanding video tutorial, my black BMW is exactly like this, see the paint you use, is it and specific type of paint as I heard u mention solvent? I know it's needs to be the same paint code but what should I ask for and where can I get it from? As I fancy taking a pint at this myself, I've polished the car but the bumper really does wind me up, thanks in advance buddy 👍🏻
Edit: found it, how much would I need to do a full front bumper like the one in this video?
You can get away with using just black on black cars. The eye struggles to pick up any difference.
Brilliant video again, most of the cars you do are dark in colour, I have severe road rash on front drivers side valence on bumper, hypnotic silver is the colour, will this method work for me?
I have done some on various colours. Silvers are not great tho ill be honest
Love it absolutely amazing . Question. How long should you leave the paint to dry ?
About 10 mins using this method
Top man again
Cheers dale
Bro ur really educating
Hope so
Very good work but it would be good if you said how you prepare the paint and also how long it takes to dry or how long it can be polished thanks
Didn't really prepare the paint. Just make sure it's fairly clean beforehand. The rubbed in paint was left about 10 mins
Nice job
Great video... Am I right in thinking this method would only work on 2k paints, I wouldn't imagine you'd get that much gloss without a clear coat? Yove got great gloss having only polished over a topcoat colour.. Awesome vid
Would you put any top coat lacquer to protect the paint, or ceramic coat the new paintwork? I'm so impressed mate!!!!! Why didn't I have the bottle to try this in my younger years?????? I regret it big time, my friend...... take care 🙏🏻
Great videos! Thank you for sharing your expertise. This simple diy approach is much appreciated. Wondering whether this technique would also work on paint damage from type II bird fractured etching?
Check my other bird muck removal vids. This method doesn't really work on it unfortunately
@cvrpov thanks for the reply mate. I still gave it a try since the technic is really effortless and yes you are correct it didn't have the same results as in your video, though still there is a huge improvement compared to the initial condition. Thanks a lot again for sharing your ideas and expertise. Saved me from big spending.
Please tell me what kind of black solvent based paint you used? The base cost on my 2004 Corvette is water based. What should I buy?
Love the video! Maybe during voiceovers lower the volume for the tools? Makes hearing you easier!
Yep noted ta
I put on the subtitles...
Very good job! How long this work will last? I m curius because there is no lacquer
Seems to hold up pretty well.
Enjoyed the video although struggled to hear you when the polisher was operating. I must say, this would give me confidence to have a go. Is this the same process for the metallic paint options?
Yes I have just done a video on a bentley using a similar method shown here on metallic Paint.
