3 Types of Paint Correction - TESTED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- The front bumper on the miata is so badly oxidized, you might not even believe it’s painted, and the hood is nothing but a large pile of scratches. This week Zach tests 3 different methods of paint correction, from expensive and extensive, to quick, cheap, and…. Minty? Let’s see which method makes the most improvement on the miata’s ratty old paint!
We have a new channel!

So you're the one out of 10 dentists who doesn't recommend Colgate?
Lmao
yes
EDIT: i think he didn't open enough internet, that at 7:22 he didn't say "I'm the tenth"
And he used one with peroxide, that damages paint!!!!
Finally i can sleep well now 🤣
No he keeps saying he's a mechanic and doesn't know why he's at the hospital. He needs help finding his Miata to go home. It's so shiny it reflects it's surroundings. People just didn't hear him say it.
Wait - he all good! He found the Colgate side of his car!
Man I love money pit, I wanna see how it will come out
I wish it was evry dey
Man i love ford ka
Can't wait for turbo episode
Zach: "Just three pea-sized drops..."
Me: "Thems some big ass peas bro"
It’s because it’s a “whitening toothpaste” on black paint. ☹️
Sounds a little bit racist
This needs way more likes
@@Louse76 its true tho lol
Alex Garcia hahahahaahahahaaaaa
Smh everything is apparently "racist" these days
This is my most favorite show on Donut. I count my weeks with these videos. Thanks Zach!
Thanks!! Does that mean you know what week it is? We've been trying to figure that out for at least a month now
@@Donut I've done the same thing. I forgot the real names of the days Wednesday is now money pit day
Bruh so do I
16 weeks of Money Pit. 420 weeks of quarantine. I’m still waiting for my Amazon package to arrive.
I agreee
Wed: Money pit🔥
Thur: Up to Speed🔥
Fri: D-List 🔥
Science garage best of all
You forgot our milky boy Nolan! Shame on you!
@@weirdbeardgarage And Jeremiah on Tuesday with B2B.
Science garage
Bumper to bumper
Money pit
Vinwiki stories from ed and rob
Nolan here and there
James got me here with up to speed, and i still watch his segments, but most were too over the top. But that's how you solidify catch phrases and make merch. The info is nice, glad hes calmed down, it's probably better for his health now too
@@joshpiotrowski3487 boo 👎 james is yhe reason we all stopped here at a time when alot of car content came out
“What did we learn today?” You learned that you get what you pay for.
This time yes.
Ethiaz well it’s opinion but you can get better,phones for 600 just look at the gaming phone section boom just as good as iPhone and Sammy
Art of Detail is proof of that
Stripping off clear coat isn't a correction... it's like flaying your own skin to correct a sunburn.
@@Lupine. true if only there was a better way but thats why you dont compound/polish every month only when the car needs it
Its a 2 stage process!
you're suppose to buff with the toothpaste & wash it off with moutwash.
Source: I made it up
You know, money pit is now my favorite show, didn't start that was but damn Zach has an addictive personality
He owns a miata that's not a cursed red one, what's not to love.
@@rtmpgt dude, you've got a point right there
I will ALWAYS drop whatever I’m doing to watch moneypit. Loving your work Zach!!
this series is the only thing i know will be reliably informative and entertaining on youtube. please do not stop making videos with this guy in this format. don't change anything, don't add anything, don't "mix it up". just keep doing this. please.
When he uses the abrasive side of the sponge for the paint ... ouch 7:50
"I think toothpaste is meant for your mouth."
How dare you say something so brave and controversial?! Much wow!!
Toothpaste there is something in the name...
Should have used Sensodyne
Are u dumb ?its to fix ur broken phone screen
why is toothpaste that expensive? 12 dollars for a medium sized tube
Nah, its for the ROKiT Williams racing car lol
although they dropped rokit
"Waxing is one of the only times you're allowed to use circular motion."
Bro.. I'm afraid to tell you that that power tool you used on the car was using circular motion hahahah
Don't be afraid you could take em
i think he means strokes or arm motions
I was thinking that the whole time. It wasn't an orbital. Lol
MrPorsche91730 “one of the only times“
Lmfao
So my neighbor has been a mechanic for 40 plus years and has taught me a lot of helpful tricks, he showed me that linch seed oil from any like hardware store like ace hardware or home depot or lowes will have it. You boil the oil and use a microfiber rag and lather it on the paint and you can also go ahead and buff it. The oil will revive the paint like it was from factory. I used it on my 2001 jeep cherokee sport and the forest green metallic looks amazing
You could get pretty much the same results with any oil filled polish. Many like to use Meguiars m07 which is pretty cheap and sold at any auto parts store. It won't do much for scratches though
Just as a warning to anyone who does this, store your rags in water after doing this. Linseed oil can self-ignite when it dries out, plenty of garages and home workshops have been burned to the ground by linseed rags.
Oh, and this won't work on cars from the last 5-10 years, as most manufacturers have switched from oil-based to water-based paints.
Zach: Waxing is one of the only times you're allowed to use circular motions on your paint.
Also Zach: Just used a tool that spins for the other two steps...
It’s a dual action polisher. Random strokes, not circular.
@@alecwhatshisname5170 that's a rotary buffer. Not dual action or random orbital.
Rotary is not the same as circular
@@setoravenclaw Thanks, didn't realize that!
@@setoravenclaw
Yes it is
I've been waiting for this Money Pit since last wednesday.
me: watches ammo nyc
alse me: watches zach
me: seems different...but I just can't put my finger on it
The foam pad is full of paint :vomit:
Armoule the proof that it worked!
@@armoule8596 I don't think this gen of Miatas came with clear coat on the non-metallic colors so any polishing is gonna eat up the base coat, seeing the pad did make me wretch though
The difference is one spends a realistic amount of time making their car shiny and the other spends an obscene amount
I also watch ammo nyc
The amount of shine back in that bumper is the most satisfying thing I've seen all week.
For a new detailer i would recommend to use a long throw da as opposed to a rotary buffer as rotary takes lots of skill to get the best results. For the 3D most all in ones are pad dependant so for your heavier cut needs use a heavier cutting pad switch it out and with the same polish will get more out. I really like to see detailing videos from you guys as its a big part of the automotive hobby that everyone can enjoy and take pride in their vehicles regardless of what they have
"waxing is the only time you use a circular motion "
Just watched him use a rotary buffer to apply compound...
I was just going to mention that, lol
i thought the same thing when i watched lol
I'm guessing he meant more for washing and claybar-ing, cause that will leave scratches if you're not careful
@@demonhog922 I know what he meant, just struck me as funny, thought it might give some folks a chuckle!
waxing is the only time where you DONT use a circular motion. if something does get caught in the applicator, its way easier to see a circular scratch than a straight line. the point of using circular motions is to attack scratches from all angles.... with polish.
High-Low introduced me to Zach and now Money Pit is one of my favourite weekly video series. Keep up the amazing work my man!
Zach is Donut
Same!!!
Every one of these episodes are the types of videos I would look for if/when I get a project car, with the benefit of actually being filmed and edited properly! Favorite series no doubt
Thanks for this one. I ordered the 3D product based on your experience with it. I don't have the time to do the better option so it's great to have you guys as a resource to know what other options are out there.
You should try 3D one
Great that you did this, bro. I owned a car wash and detailing center here in the Philippines and I’ve been wanting to see you buff your mx5’s paint since you started this series. Lol
"God, detailing stuff just smells the best sometimes"
*laughs in CarPro Iron X*
Christ that stuff is cancer, but it works
lmao it smells soooo bad fr
*gags and vomit in iron remover*
That’s sodium thyoglicolate for you. Anything with that chemical smells awful. It’s just how it is.
10:07 love the scream for the cut in half head
Thats one of the things I love about this channel, no click bait. Hell even the thumbnail shows you the results! I love it!
No before and after pics of the fully corrected car? I'm upset. That front bumper has to look so good now.
Hey Zach ur awesome and u really brighten my day I look forward to Wednesday’s every week thank you!!
Lj Jackson thank you
Thanks
Zac Duke np
Zach's everywhere thank you
By far one of my favorite series next to Hi Low, great job everyone at Donut, you make the pandemic bearable
Real talk this my favorite show on donut, its like "yeah I did that before but I'm still gonna watch" and I LOVE IT...I'm super hyped for turboing though and to see how proficient Zach is with dent popper to work put that fender and show people how to cover up paint damage (paint matched stickers are the weirdest thing I've seen done but hey it definitely saves time once you get any bare metal sealed up to prevent future rust)
"you can buy this stuff anywhere"
me: these strippers are nice but where the heck is the paint correction isle?
I think you gotta get some from the back
You win RUclips today.
you mean "Pants Erection Isle" that is surely out the back
What store has strippers???
@@davypig571 a stripper store,duhh
You know what, I'm gonna try Meguiar's on my teeth after this.
I look forward to Wednesday's every week just for this show.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to the show!
Things I'd enjoy seeing on next episodes;
-Short shift (if the miata isn't short enough already?)
-racing seats/harness
-roll cage
-How to repair holes in soft top/Or how to install Hardtop if you guys decide to go that route
-Have Xzibit guest star and put some giant subwoofers in the trunk, or a cotton candy machine, or cream soda slipnslide, you never know with him :P
-Maybe another comparison video with different options of headlights, HID/Xenon/LED/Batsignal
-Window Tint How-To Video
-End the series with Screaming Miata V8 swap? Might be too much time and money to go that crazy?
Again, love the show
I'm glad you'll going to fix the fender. It always caught my attention🤗
This is the fastest I've been to a Donut Media vid!
Same
Same
Me to
@@user-lb9ls5is3n ?
Me too
Next episode: HEADLIGHTS, HID, Xenon, LED
Proper retrofit!
A Miata with a Xenon headlight, this is both beatiful and scary
That's when you use toothpaste
Hid and xenon are the same thing
Nah get some auxbeam Jeep headlights, most of the 7 inch round aftermarket headlights will fit and plug into the miata’s stock harness.
Just bought a NB so love this show. Greetings from Canada. Thanks Zach!
Man I love the money pit episodes! They are great for the average joe and cover many of the projects us average joes come across. Keep up the good work!
day 49 of asking donut to do a b2b on James's golf
His golf is still in NC not running lol
@@seancarton9012 Needs a new engine then
Should've been on the ford ka 1-st gen
How has this not been done yet
I think he will do it on ur 50th day
4:25 he shined the bumper well and lost his head light
I'm 40 minutes late lol
@@danepher ruclips.net/video/BLUkgRAy_Vo/видео.html
@@jackvanepps7301 You care.
Finally busted out and did the tried and true method.. just got through the cutting step and already... DAMN!! It is completely worth every penny spent!
Is it just us, or is this by FAR the fastest episode Zach has gotten to do so far? It's still daylight when he finishes! Also... 6:40 seconds in.. what we got goin on with that Nissan behind you!? ;)
Do you think Zack and Chris Fix's neighbors talk to eachother about the weird guys who do stuff to their cars?
zach lives in la and chris fix lives in new jersey but if they did live near each other i do not doubt the would do that
Until Colin Furze's neighbours turn up and just laugh in the face of them for having normal neighbours lol
Probably not as much for Zach, because he's got other people filming and such, so it's pretty obvious that he's filming for a show or whatever, Chris just films himself so his neighbors just think he's talking to his cars while holding a camera
Except that neighbor across the street, he just wants to use his leaf blower whenever Chris is filming
Wednesday is my favorite day because of this show. Gets me motivated to work on my car
I’ve been searching for the best way to fix paint correction n I’m glad I found this video thank you so much!
My most favorite show all the way ! I wait all the week for this guy video, good job zach!
This guy reminds me a lot of Andy Dwyer from Parks & Recreation
everyday i ask myself “is it wednesday yet?” LOVE the show keep it up!!
Zach! You da MAN! Got a NA6 about a week after your first video and ive been doing all the same mods as you release them! Haha cant wait to see our final results.
One of the best series of one of the best car RUclips account ever Thanks zach💯
I'd love to see an episode of this on dent pullers or something of the sort
man i really like the show but seeing this process made me close my eyes in pain several times. If @AMMONYC sees you doing the detailing he will cry in pain. See a video of him already going to pick up several things that will make this detail improve a lot.
none of us are rich enough to ammo nyc every time the car needs a buff and polish. This is you're average joe including myself and I see myself doing it no problems. Paint on common cars is alot less valuable that a mclaren f1
It's an old beat up miata. The paint was already ruined. Anything that he did just made the car look better. If it was an expensive car with mint paint I could see your point.
Manly Black To be honest you can do a better job than this guy with some cheaper Rupes compounds and a Harbor Freight polisher you can pick up for $50. Besides cutting corners on materials this guy made some cringe worthy mistakes on the process alone. You could do a much better job for way less than $130.
@@collinmost678 agreed, I spent 60$cad on my 3 step polish kit, even came with 3 different polishing pads. Sure the bottles are small, but fuck I don't need alot of polish, certainly not half a litre. Automagic ftw
Braeden Pokar yeah but you need WAY more than 1 pad for each step for a whole car. 2-3 pads minimum for each step up to 6 pads per step for a big SUV or truck. You could easily spend $150 in pads alone. But that’s necessary to ensure you’re not cross contaminating panels with residue stuck in the pads.
I love these series it helps me learn more about my car
Thank you for this upload! I will use this advice for my 03 Miata
I like money pit the most! 😍
Try boiling hot water and some plungers to try and pop that fender dent out .
As far as i’m aware, that technique is for plastic/composite fenders, not steel ones.
@@SpartanDara really hot water on a hot day , with black paint it'll soften up just fine , finding tiny plungers for the smaller dents will be hard , works on big ol honking truck dents at work .
@@SpartanDara Someone doesn't understand humor I see.
Something i do a little different in my 3 stage correction is i substitute the dedicated polish for a cut/gaze/wax all in one, specifically auto finesse tripple (carnauba based).
Its sort of a transitional step, the cut and glaze helps remove and fill any microscratches i couldn't quite get with the dedicated compound along with most other minor imperfections, then the wax just sets a base layer down, for my dedicated wax, its like doing a double wax but without the extra work, such a time saver.
Tripple specifically has the added bonus of not leaving any chalky residue and being plastic trim friendly, so one less thing to worry about.
Well,money pit is really good,useful and good for people wanting to change stuff for their cars.You are a great host Zach
"its the weird neighbor again"
Came for James and Nolan, stayed for Zach 😎
Seriously though, the whole squad at Donut is putting out the best car content on RUclips.
The polishes made for RV’s are great one product solutions. I use them and they’re great. Easy to wipe off. Covers corrects and strips oxidation beautifully.
I'm going to remember Donut's Covid material forever, it has been by far some of the most useful and memorable. Thanks, Zach!
Everybody: mo powa for the miata
Donut: toothpaste on car CLEAN?!?!?!
EDIT: Thanks for the likes!
ahh a fellow man of taste
MOO powa baby
Miata currently has no powa babeh
@@toddjudd8657 :(
True, but not complaining 😂👍
Yo Zach! I tried to suggest you and the team via insta DM an idea talking about some security against thieves ripping the soft-top or stealing the hard-top. Just thought of it like 3 days ago, maybe it'll be worth it to consider it. Keep it up guys, Money Pit is addictive
love the content, keep up the great work zach
Keep this up mate. This series is sensational.
Five minute crafts:

Day 7 of me asking for Science Garage (and Bart) to come back with: How Methanol Injection Works
Where's Bart?! I support your idea and give it a thumbs up.
Day 1 of liking this comment and hoping bart comes back
He could made his own channel :)
Armando Osoyo he had a kid I’m pretty sure and so left to focus on his family, I think they said he might come back but they didn’t promise a time or if he definitely will :)
Kye Alexander he was fired because his high quality content took longer than a week to make, while everything James does is reading in front of a green screen lol.
Definitely my favorite series currently! High v low was top notch as well! What about showing the people how to upgrade lighting? Headlights, taillights, interior, dash... Eh? Alright! 😉🤙
Gotta love this series
Now we know why just 9 of 10 dentists prefer Colgate.
Zach I want to see the dent, the fender being repaired and a spray can paint job maybe?
That would be a great video
I don't know if there's anything more satisfying then seeing a car's paint come back to life after some paint correction therapy and treatment... Man, a clean car is always a sight to behold.
Glad to see Donut still running strong!
7:17 car casually doing a wheelie in the background. :D
Everybody : Mo powa!
Me: Mo conpact! I love this series .Please after finishing this make another season of hilow .Keep up the work.b2b on fork ka gen1?please?
Zach is killing it on this series
good job linking the products used. it was really helpful
Lowkey I want to see an episode of zach's s14...
"I think toothpaste is ment for your mouth" made me laugh. Thanks for trying though
I gotta say, I wasn’t initially that interested in this series. I love cars but unfortunately I just don’t have the means or ability to have or work on a project car at this point in my life. That said, I’ve actually really enjoyed the series more and more with each episode, and I think you do a great job with your presentation and explaining everything in a very simple and accurate fashion. So, well done to you guys and I’m looking forward to future episodes! I wish you all the best!
Best donut media content, no screaming, no cringe mlg memes, just solid car content. Can watch at night as well for decent balance in audio.
We can see he didn’t follow chrisfix tutorial right, because he didn’t remove the tag! 3:10
Larry has entered chat.
“ we’re gonna use toothpaste to polish
Larry has left chat.
love these video. they get to the point and show different steps and education! i dont own a car and take the buss these are interesting videos but i love helping my dad fix his sports car. btw toothpast does works great pm the lights to defog them for a few months. i think 1st one the best.
To go along with the recent video style of testing different products I would love to see you test the best way to fix cloudy headlights and also test headlight bulbs.
I miss science garage :'(
we all do my friend. we all do ;-;
I miss Miracle Whips
Oh man, I really hope you guys cleaned off your foam pads with compressed air every now and then. It just becomes a spinning piece of sandpaper with all that paint debris
Yes. I'd say adjust to panel severity, per square foot or less depending on how bad the paint is.
probably just swapped out pads every time
My favourite weekly show, i hope it continues for a while
I love how he does the nice buff and polish work on the worst panel.
5:59
That pad needs to be cleaned, there's too much paint on it, to be fully effective at lifting up more old paint it must not be this saturated.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I said the same! He should have at least bought a compressed air can and blown the residual dirt off.
The RUclips detailers are out in force.
@@glumdogtrillionaire hes right tho. Go watch ammo nyc and see how to properly paint correct
Actually with virtually no clear coat on that front bumper I wouldn’t be surprised if that was paint rather than debris being picked up on the pad. He seems to have used new pads for each method so for that small of an area it would be insane to have that much build up after already washing and coating the car. Normally with enough clear coat on the panel you should be picking up fine debris and not any paint.
Raees Khan wooosh.
Please do a collab with Chris fix, that would be awesome, just image what’s posible when you put 2 diy gods together
I love how one of the toothpast clips you found on RUclips was someone using the Scotchbright side of a sponge. Nothing like putting more scrates in your car.
YES!!! MY FAVORITE DETAILING BRAND FINALLY GOT SOME RECOGNITION!!! 3D MAKES AMAZING PRODUCTS!!!
4:27 doesn´t show result with the flashlight in the after shot
The car when it realized that he will correct its paint with toothpaste: **Chuckles** I am in danger
@Ohana Ross-Roberts sometimes I am [The Fool] but my English here is correct
I buffed a pair of cars for the super chevy show in indy years ago. Used wizard products on both, one modern clear and the other lacquer. The chevelle placed 2nd in its category and the El cam placed 1st. I absolutely love wizard products and they smell really good too.
I sold my Miata 4 weeks ago and 2 weeks ago I bought another NA 😅. These videos made me miss my Miata so I had to buy another one!
