Been a detailer for over 25 years and this is the best scratch quick fix I've seen. Cracking job, mate!
Love to hear that mate
Hi please do u leave it to dry or u polish straight away
@@zoomgalaxy5876 You should probably let it dry first before putting wax on it
Well if anyone was entitled to make that judgement Mich, I think it would definitely be you buddy! 👍
Any suggestions on how to remove light scratches and swirl marks ? Like only noticeable in particular lighting an angles. Long story short wiped down parts of the car with microfibre cloth that was wet ( so was the area ) then wiped it down with a dry one. Any suggestions?
The number of videos on this youtube with people trying to look experts by making complaicated lengthy 200 steps videos and then this man with just a finger does it all. Amazing!!
Makes a change for a RUclipsr to just get on with it! Good work.
100%
Hey there mate.
2 warnings everyone:
1. Gloved finger is messy and sticky, makes surface stippled like Artex ( I'm old)!
2. Be miserly with the paint otherwise it takes forever to buff off the excess!
I'm learning loads from you!
The real reason why I open the car door for my girlfriend is not because I'm being chivalrous but actually that I just want to protect my paint.
😁
Clever and a gent
Ha ha ha love it 😂
😂😂😂
If a guy opens the door for you it could be one of two reasons: ether a new girl or a new car 😅
Mate, you're a dream come true.
You know what you're doing and explain why perfectly.
The icing on the cake is that you crack on with it. It's is so refreshing not to have to listen to waffle and padding.
At the end of the day most of us are just trying to keep our beloved daily drivers looking nice. We don’t need supercar results. This is a great tutorial and well worth the price of the kit. Cheers
"Too many RUclips videos talk too long so I'm going to get straight into it."
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No messin'
Great vids, what about when you do this on a car door and it’s on the fold line just above the handle? The cutting paste (forcela) seems to pull the touch up paint back off ?

You're a genius! I've watched 3 of your videos so far and will combine your methods on my car, which I've been wanting to fix the scratches and chips on for years, but all of the videos I've watched have been too complicated for my skill set. I knew there had to be an easier way. THANK YOU!
This video is absolutely brilliant! I’ve been polishing out the families car scratches out for 40 odd years and I’ve learnt something new today! (I’ve never tried using my finger tip before, so thanks for sharing mate!) ☝️
Glad you have learned something new mate
@@cvrpov Does it last after Carwashes yes right ?
@@cvrpov Thanks for your video! How long do you let the paint dry before buffing?
Really?
I always use my fingertip for everything. No glove
By faaaaar this is the BEST car paint scratch repair ever that I've seen on RUclips.
Easily doable and economical.
Cant thank you enough.
Wow, thanks!
Really good idea this. Especially as a little nailpolish size, colourmatched bottle of paint is only around 10 bucks aswell. So 20 or 25 bucks all in, you can keep up with any little imperfections or scratched for years. Awesome.
Bloody brilliant! Did my Dad's old Range Rover where someone had keyed it, along with various minor scrapes. Used some touch up paint from Halfords, and now repair looks practically invisible. Thanks for sharing your technique!
No problem
What cutting compound did you use to buff off excess paint?
Thanks for great information and not dragging it out. OMG the people getting into that poor car must be blind and holding a big fist of keys or rocks when trying to locate the door handle.
Haha
It's the long fake nails, probably a thumb or I don't understand how it's possibly done.
Mine looks like that. It's from our very excitable dog jumping up on the door. I'll have to give this a go.
It's from high class prostitutes with long fake nails. Good job.
How about a diamond ring? @@paullelys161
Finally found a youtube guy who teach proper DIY. Welldone mate keep the videos coming 💯
Thanks for the follow
I tried this technique on my 1995 Ford Mustang. It's metallic red and had a large number of minor scratches on the passenger door. I used Testors model paint and the results were very good. Of course it didn't remove the scratches, but I would say it looks 95% better. And the paint only cost $3.25.
good stuff mate glad it worked for u
What a guy, this technique is amazing, and paint gear is a brilliant company, great products and customer service.
Thanks for your continued support Will 👊🏻
I tried this on my sisters burnt orange peugeot as the scratches round the drivers door handle were really bad and what a result. You can't see them at all now! I can't thank you enough for the tip !! !! !!
What kind of paint did you use?
@@trhg0002 I bought it from my local autoparts shop. Gave them the pain code and they mixed up a small pot.
Mate that seriously is the best idea I’ve seen for scratch repair and no fancy tools. Just subscribed. Great job and thanks.
I like to keep it simple my man
I found your videos and subscribed immediately. All the stuff without the fluff. No annoying background music, clear understandable voice, straight to the project without 40 minutes of hey youtubers bs speeches. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for such a brilliant idea and presentation!!! Straightforward and to the point, no long drawn stories about the day best friend farted in kindergarten or some other rubbish that has nothing to do with the subject. Bravo amigo 🤘🏽
Much love Jose 👊🏻
Nice one, Fella. I think the way you present your videos gives us numpties the courage to have a go ourselves. I'm a complete Neanderthal with a spray can but even my proto-brain can manage finger painting! Thanks for putting this out there 👍
No problem glad you like the content
Real ,honest and simple guy doing his job at very high level for a people who can not afford the expencive shops ...I love it
Take a bow Captain, Excellent job. Precise , no BS and something anyone with a bit of common can have a go. Thank you
Great video and great idea, better than what I have been doing for years. For the punters out there: the buffing *might* remove some of the new paint out of the scratches, hence the need to go back again as in the video. With some care and patience though it's obvious you can acheive a fantastic result relatively easily.
Thank you for the video!! You're right, we love it :)
Nice one
Brilliant video , quick and straight to the point !
100%
not everyone has the dollars for the paint shop these days,your good deed will be appreciated by many,what you tube was intended for unlike a lot of tubers for profit channels.
I started this channel to help people who either had and intetest in fixing their own car or want to save money
It's perfect it can be done in minutes. Best process I've seen in 65-years, and you also sell your kit direct. Even better.
Awesome feedback mate thankyou
Wow 😮. I’m gobsmacked !!! Cheap easy method ! Love it 👏👏👏
100%
Game changer, great video. I really appreciate you just being honest and getting on with it 😎
I appreciate that!
Thanks for just getting on with it and not giving us a documentary on like most RUclipsbers do.
Yes very annoying I find
This IS touch up paint job. As you literally touch (up) the paint. BRILLIANT Method. Thank you soo much. :)
Haha no probs
Sometimes the simplest way is the best way. Thanks for posting this. I'll try it soon on my car.
100% agree
What a brilliant idea, simple and very effective 👍
Thanks.
Except for the clear coat damaged by this. Which means that nice red color is gonna become pink in a few years
@@80s_Boombox_Collectornah
Have to admit was hesitant applying finger paint (code matched) to the 5 year old Amarok I just bought. Worked like a charm on the scratched tail gate. Fantastic video.
Great stuff
Excellent video! I've followed your advice and have tackled over a dozen scratches now, like you said it's never going to be 100% but if it can make it 80-90% better by diy at home then that's a big win. Keep up the good work buddy!
Great stuff. Thanks for the feedback
I have not made up my mind as to whether you are brilliant or amazing. I would have to say both! Thank You So Much!
Hey man Thanks for the sub
This is absolutely brilliant. So easy! How is this even possible? Well done.
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Mate..brilliant..I've done the same on my bike tank after watching this..and it's worked a treat. Thanks so much. I've just subscribed and hit the bell. Thanks again!!!
Awesome thanks
The Best I have seen for a long time, and so simple!
Thanks
Much appreciated....
Im showing a friends car roof some love, that is scratched fairly bad in places.
Great video and i have the basic tools for the job .
What an amazing job. I'm going to try this. Top job 👍👍
Good look nigel
Thanks for the video, such a simple idea but so effective.
Definatley mate. Thanks for watching
I have just done this to my wife’s car and now in the good books thanks again for sharing this fantastic idea 👍
Happy wife happy life mate simple as. Glad it helped
Just tried this yesterday with my car, came out very nice! Thanks a lot!
Awesome paul
I've just found your video. Really impressive, thank you.
Good stuff
Your video popped up as recommended viewing so I gave it a go and was pleased with and pleasantly surprised at your results! I will do this on my 2005 Nissan Murano. It has a few areas with pesky scratches on it that I couldn't buff out. Many thanks from across the pond in the states! 🇺🇸👍🏼
Thanks for the support. Here from the uk 🇬🇧
So happy you put up this video! Have a similar repair to do and was expecting to have to try to use a toothpick or something similar. Many thenks.
Great. Be sure to check out similar videos on different methods in my playlists
I've already had the same idea, but didn't trust me. Now I will check it out. Thanks for the video👍
🙏
That’s brilliant bud. Who thought that would work. Thanks so much for the info. It’s so close to perfect
No problem
You sir are a bloody legend..Love from Australia
Thanks for the sub
Mind blown, I think you’ve given me the confidence to try this. 🙌
Brilliant video and commentary. Thank you for just getting on with it😍🎉
Too many people talk to much on RUclips!
I've done exactly this for many years with about the same 90 % results. I've just retired a GMC van after 22 Canadian winters and I've often had people stop me to ask if I've had the vehicle repainted. Fill the ditch with paint and buff off the thin excess on the flat surfaces.
It works great in the right circumstances
Simple yet effective, going to give this a try Thanks
No worries
A nice common sense solution & straight to the point/job. Thanks.
No problem
Great Stuff! no nonsense straight to the point. I didn't think it would. work. Amazing JOB. Thank you.
No problem
Dang that was awesome results and simple. Great video
Kevin 🍻
Bro, how did your video magically appear right after i noticed some very depressing scratches on my GTI? You drastically improved my day. Thank you :)
Haha algorithms working
Amazing paint fix for scratches. Thanks for the video and how to do fix.
Take care.
No probs
That’s awesome!Thank you so much for sharing your work!
No problem thanks for watching
Looks very good!!! I just repainted my whole car with my finger. 😂
The end of spray guns is near
brilliant work!! Ive learned a lot of techniques from this channel
Great. That's why I made it 🙌🏼
Really is quite simple but astonishingly effective. Superb
Thanks a lot 😊
Great job. As always. Learn a lot
Thanks Radek
Amazing, I've never heard of this method before and it's incredible how quickly you get those results. OK it's not perfect, but it's a million times better than I'd have thought it would be!
Will definitely be trying this on my MX-5 that has a few dings, cheers.
No probs good luck. Don't go too mad on the paint on a mazda as it can be quite thin
What year MX-5?
Absolutely genius, mate! Cheers. Leigh.
No worries
I am so glad this was not a long video because I became so invested in watching it I forgot that I had put my dinner in the oven, the timing was perfect, also a great video, definitely going to try this, thanks
I try and make most of my videos to correlate with people's cooking habits
@@cvrpov 😂😂 Mate, your timing was perfect
You are a wizard sir. Nice and simple, that's all anyone wants. No 10 minutes of waffle, just straight to it and job done.
Brilliant. I cannae believe how well it turned out.
Awesome mate love to hear feedback
Great video, did this on my wife's car with excellent results so thank you!
wow great content and straight to the point, got a new sub!
Awesome welcome aboard
❤ Great method thank you very much.
I tried it with meguiar's ultimate compound and a drill. The deep scratches don't go away with this compound. But combined with the touchup pain, it does fill them up nicely so you can't see them from a distance. Much better than the white scratches on my dark metallic paint I had before.
Glad it helped
Wow, brilliant. Straight to the point, excellent video. This is DIY I might actually be able to do! 😂👍
Definately. Glad you like
I'll try it, I have piano black mercedes benz and it has some minor scratches and obviously I did not want to get it repainted with bad results...but now I will try your trick and I'm sure that everything will come out right.
I'm used to car restorations and I never heard of your method, THANKS MATE😊
Black works well with this method
Quick and easy fix. You could improve it even more with bit of wet sanding to level out, but this is great for a quick fix and would satisfy 90% of car owners
Perhaps yes. I wanted to keep this as basic as possible
Looks like a damn lion was trying to open that door...
Straight to the point. Love it!
Fantastic job mate not seen this technique before! 👌
This guy is brilliant👍👏
Thanks for the support
@@cvrpov what is the product name? Where to buy?
When the words "touch up paint" gain a whole new meaning.
100%
Best one yet, instead of faffing around with silly little brushes! Great results!
Yes! Thank you!
Lovely job fella, well presented a joy to watch 👍
Stunning results thanks for sharing!
Thankyou
Just can't find it in the USA. The website doesn't exist
I've got a fairly bad scuff in the middle of a panel and was about to pay over £500 to have the whole panel repainted. To be honest, I'm a bit worried about the matching to adjacent panels. Having seen this, I think it's worth having a go first. If the scratch is too bad and it doesn't work, I won't be worse off. Thanks for the tip!
Always worth a go mate. That's what this channel is all about
Really good demo and lesson thanks so much
Thanks for the sub
Excellent video, actually learnt this trick many years ago, in an American body shop, in Ft Lauderdale, when my holiday rental car got scratched, by cat's jumping on bonnet, didn't get noticed on check in, so no deposit retained. Done it on my own vehicles since, the only colour i didn't get great results using this technique was silver, I'll add once finished i then polish with one of those colour match polishes
Nice one mate
Great vid mate well done. Might be a good idea to use masking tape on the door handle and the black moulding as to save BURNING with the buffer. Cheers. Max. Australia.
I would usually max but I was too busy making sure the filming was ok
That is pretty awesome. Didn't expect it to be honest. Personally, if I try it, I think I'll put some clear coat over it. It'll last longer like this IMO.
I find it's fine without
@@cvrpov Yeah, the result looks neat without it. I'd rather do it still just cuz I'd lose sleep over it if I didn't. 😅
Another cracking job. For the sake of a couple of quids worth of materials you can't go wrong
100% agree with that
Excellent. Have the same issue around my focus door handles.
Hope this helps then bud
Thanks for these type of videos it's appreciated and this is something I'm going to try on a bumper that slightly brushed against a metal fence leaving a few little scratches. I already have the touch up kit polisher etc but this is the method I'll now try first. Thanks again
Glad you find them of use
This does work but it works much better if you thoroughly clean the area with a suitable solvent before you apply the paint. That way you remove all the polish and cleaning products that might be embedded in the scratches.
This car hadn't seen any polish in years by the looks of it
@@cvrpov Probably right but the upload is for people in general. Some suitable solvent get rid of atmospheric and environmental dirt as well.
Excellent, great video. Definitely giving this a go.
Nice one
Awesome. Something anyone can do to their own car on the driveway, brilliant video.
Thanks. That's the kinda feedback I wanted 👍🏻
@@cvrpov Keep it up as most car owners need advice from people who know what they are doing and will save people being over charged for simple repairs. I had a smart repair done on a door by a brilliant company where another company wanted to fill and spray the side of the car.
Thanks for a great video. In some of your other videos you are also wet sanding to remove a scratch (along with paintgear paint), whilst in others, you are applying the paint without sanding first. Could you please clarify when sanding is or isn't needed? Thanks!
With rub and buff method I don't sand 1st
Top job lad, thanks for sharing. Quick question, which cutting compound did you use please?
Thanks again mate
Farecla g360
Absolutely brilliant. 👍
Thanks for the sub
Common sense has no boundaries. Great job!!
I believe it's worth saying what kind of paint you use. I for example mix base and hardener, someone adds clear coat too, some people use single stage etc
My thoughts exactly… indication/link to paint used?
Solvent basecoat touch up paint
Do you have an idea of maybe applying a clear-coat spray to protect the paint?
That would be more a respray. A good ceramic would be better
