I ATTEMPT TO RESTORE 25 YEAR OLD PAINT - BEGINNERS MACHINE POLISHING
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Welcome back all,
In this week's video I give the faded paintwork on my Volkswagen T4 some attention & attempt to bring it back to life! This process was very long winded but all these steps need to be carried out, to ensure the outcome of the paintwork correction looks the best possible. There are a few bad patches of paint on the vehicle and therefore these did not come out gleaming like the rest. I do plan to get these sections re-sprayed as I feel this would really finish the paintwork off.

There's that satisfaction you get from transforming dull paint to a brilliant shine, great shine great job by the way I'm watching your videos here from United States 🇺🇸
Love being gaslit with the GREEN car. That car is BLUE sir.
How about TEAL? Or TURQUOISE?😉
@@addappt gaslit is a bit strong? 🤣 It’s more Turquoise/Green in person though 👍🏻
@@Mk2Mitch 🤣
Great job on the polishing. Judging by the MOT history I'd say the lower third is pretty much filler over welding lines :)
I like your narrative skills ,i could listen to you all day . Well done ..
@paulgee6150:
Are you serious mate ?
I thought you were joking .😲😲😲😲
Thank you pal, glad you enjoyed the video!
It is possible to mop paint with a cheap DA sander, but it takes a very long time, and if the paint is very bad there might be a need to wet flat it before using compound. Good thing about DA sanders though is that they dont take very much off, so little chance of burn through, which is possible if a beginner is using a pro type direct drive machine.
Great video I’ve got a facelift t5 red and need to bring the colour back
Cheers
I'm about to give my mk2 her first polish next week and this video arrived just in time to boost my confidence levels for that!
Glad the video can lend you some help! That’s what it’s all about 😁
thank you for breaking this down very shortly and nicely, I have watched a lot of vids from various 'pro detailers' and none was so to the point, giving quick tips and even idea of products used without glorifying the one sponsor. In my 'normal car guy' eyes you've done a great job and you passed on knowledge or at least basics of it. And to you guys reading - question - how to properly do it incl. waxing, on the white car? (sounds a bit stupid I know, but I had a problem with polishing some scratches by hand in the day light).
Knowing how long this process actually takes it come out amazing! Well done
Thank you! 😁
Really useful guide, never machine polished before, but looking forward to giving it a try.
Ohsoretro is a great car show
Looks well, did use G3 on my black bmw and wasn’t to impressed, but was told to keep spraying with water so not to burn through the paint, that’s were I must have gone wrong
Good to see you and your dad yesterday
Great work Mitch, it's a great feeling seeing your work paying off👍👌
Thank you pal! It certainly is a good feeling 😁
That is a magic result.
Quality video as per usual
Looking forward to seeing the van completed
Thank you! 😎
Great result Mitch looks much better 👌 Dampen your pad slightly mate it’ll last a lot longer ! Good thing about these vans is because of the body lines they’re pretty easy to do a sympathetic restoration or tart up around the bottom half that’s probably why you see so many in two tones …nice job 👍
Cheers for the suggestion, I’ll try this when I machine polish the rest!
Great results on the camper van, its some difference. Dampen your polishing pad a bit, it will lessen it tearing apart as quickly and stop as much vibration during the cutting process. Top stuff, its hard work, specially the clay barring..Best wishes .
Thank you! I will use this advice for tackling the rest of the paintwork and see how long the pads last! 😁
Good job!
A nice set of audi rotors would look ace on that old girl
Good work pal looking good, you should do this to escort van. Cool video 🤙
Cheers mate, I’m planning on mopping the escort van soon 😎
Brilliant Job considering mitch
It's definitely not a turd brv . Cracking work 👍🏻
Looking great! Amazing what you can do with a little bit of hard work. I’m glad you put some protection on that paint work as that’ll fade faster than my tan when I come back off holiday 👌
Haha, cheers mate! Yes got to get it waxed and I like to keep it topped up every 6 months 😁
Very impressive - proper bit of work to get there so fair play. 😁👍
Thank you mate! 😁
Ever considered wet and drying it and giving it a coat of acrylic lacquer?
The van come up class , I'd save yourself a few quid and just get some rattle cans made up and do the rear quarter yourself...
I agree, think I’ll get some 2k gloss cans 😎
The short answer is, 'no you can't' hehehe, but well done for trying, Mitch.
Nicely done Mitch you got a nice finish there! Clean your Car is still going mate use them myself always been happy with the service from them 👍
Cheers Nick! Great to hear they’re still going, I’ll have to browse their website!
Top job mucker im a T4 owner myself, get some 303 - Graphene Nano Spray Coating on it job done, good channel
Lovely old job
Great transformation. Only now catching up on the T4 content. How much did the van cost to purchase if you don't mind me asking ?
Excellent video mich enjoyed how you explained every part of the cleaning and polishing keep it up mich can't wait for next week video cheers Neil
Thank you Neil, glad you enjoyed the stages of the video 😁
Good we hack for you use a heat gun on the plastic black bumpers it springs out the oil of the bumper to make it block Love the videos dek🏴
Thank you for the advice mate!
Yes you can. Put it in the freezer for a bit. And use Dark tan Parade gloss. 😅
You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter....
Spot on mate, looks like a different vehicle!! Came up well 👍
Thank you mate!
That’s amazing. Great job Mitch
Great job. Spin your whole fleet up!
Thank you! That’s the plan, when I get round to them all 🤣👍🏻
@@Mk2Mitch 🤣👍🏻
Usually use a mist of water when machine polishing because its easy to overheat the paint with the machine could be why your pad packed in early, looks good man well done you said any one could give me any tips get a set of alloys on to your dads first van wheels look rank 😂
Cheers for the advice, will give the mist a go! 😁
Fantastic Video, the results are fantastic welldone, looks like one of your fleet know👏👏
Thank you! 😁
Great work and amazing results 👌👌
Nice job. The difference is huge. I got a question about the polisher. How much is the rpm? It looks like a steady small and handy to use polisher. Keep up the good work
Thank you! Unfortunately I do not know the rpm, this machine polisher is fairly old now 👍🏻
And doesn’t feel good at the end of the. Nice job mate
Nice!! Feeling inspired. 💙 What wud u recommended for removing cement spots?
Looks great mate gotta ❤ a T4 👌🇬🇧
Thank you 😁
Great job, you might want to lock in that hard work with a true ceramic coating.
Thank you for the advice, I’ll have a research and see what I can find 👍🏻
No, but you can roll it in glitter... Fantastic job done
Thank you 😆
Well done Great effort pays off
Thank you!
Some difference well done mate
Thank you pal! 😎
I think you should lacquer it.
Great job mitch well will certainly be purchasing that fusso wax 👍
Great to hear! The fusso wax is my favourite and reasonably priced too 😎
Great work!
Well done mitch looking great 👍. You went the extra mile not like my pal Marcus fairy washing up liquid and your done 😅😅
😆😆😆
I am pretty sure that whatever product is dreamt up for Detailers, they will buy it. Its just washing a car mate, nothing more than that.
Nice one mate ! Probably polished 1000 pound into it 👍👍
Cheers pal, I hope so 🤣
Looking mint mate fab job
Good result. Crack on get it done mate👍🏻

What density of the clay bar are you using for this paint.
have you sold it ? sure saw one same at auction
Good job 👌🏻
The differance was tenfold can you do a break down on costs at the moment as i am looking to do the same with a van in the near future crack on
Thank you! Unfortunately I won’t be able to do a breakdown of the costs but I have left all the links to the product websites in the description of this video 👍🏻
😊😊😊😊
Great video
Thank you!
Il bring my van round you can do that 😆
Keep Good job 😊
Thank you!
only one pad?
Yes it would seem you can polish a turd. Well done on your turd polishing indeed
Thank you pal!
hi were is the mk2 waiting for the update,,,
Slow progress on the escort but I’m chipping away at it 😎
Been doing this job for over ten years… tell me how bad those shoulders burned afterwards mate 😂
Yes it was quite the workout for sure! 🤣
What’s happening to the escort
Progress is slow but I’m chipping away at it!
No,you cannot polish a turd,but you can roll it in glitter
😆😆😆
💪💪👍👍
Prepare to be skint, I’ve had loads of T4s and T5s / T5.1s so so unreliable but they look cool as F so I keep going back 🤣, german engineering makes me laugh so much 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been driving T5’s for 17 years they are very very reliable if you look after them
This old girl has treated me fairly okay so far 😆 got 216,000 miles on the clock too!
101 will dull the paint
What’s 101?
That’s the strangest shade of green of green I have ever seen looks a bit more like blue to me 😂😂😂
VW paint comes up trumps.
Nice an shiny. 👍
Cheers 😎
@@Mk2Mitch I was watching another couple at an auction a few weeks back. And I thought I wonder if Mitch is there. And as tho by magic there yo where filming.
I gotta catch with one of yours at the auction as a capri went for quite big numbers they wasn’t expecting.
Any way take care stay safe. Keep up the good show love watching an chilling out. 👍.
