@@cvrpov Could you tell me if I have a BMW original touch up paint 12 ml base coat and 12 ml clear coat do I have to mix toghether? And what polish compound and polish pad do you use?

[@Chewy0424]

How long do you let the paint dry for? I'd imagine if its left too long it'll be almost impossible to get it off with just a polishing machine. So i'm guessing there's window of opportunity in terms of... when to buff?

[@CousinSqueeze]

I've found good results after 10-20 minutes with some mild level scratches and hitting it with a heat gun for about 60 seconds

[@CousinSqueeze]

Deeper scratches I fill with paint in JUST the scratch first, then I glass off excess so it's flush with the original paint, then polish

[@cvrpov]

A couple of mins is usually suffice.

Your videos are awesome and I can’t stop watching them. We’ve some scratches on our 10 year old fiesta and it makes me want to try it. Mind if I ask a couple questions? What ‘base’ coat should I be using? Can I use a spray tin from Halfords that’s the same colour as the car, or do you use a generic colour? How long between applying the paint and then buffing it? What budding compound are you using? Thanks in advance for being awesome and sharing this

[@derekclarke2708]

I know for a fact that the road rash on the lower doors will not last especially on a Porsche. This is a patented method called SSR sprayless scratch repair. I have been doing this for 14 years. It is effective, but the camera lies a bit because it does not pick up everything. SSR is out of Texas and has been around for at least 17 years

[@martinbailey2140]

That’s brilliant, can’t wait to try. Quick question re: the polishing pad, do you have to wash it afterwards in any special solution to remove elements of the paint ?

[@HeadsUpSafety1]

Foam pads can be maintained dragging a screwdriver across a DRY pad at high speed. This will remove the abrasives/foreign material in the pad. Careful to angle the bit so it’s not too aggressive OR pointing into the rotation. Haven’t tried on wool or terry cloth, but it works great on foam.

[@cvrpov]

I would probably disguard the pad or use it for this method in future only

[@prestonpeters6858]

May have been asked already but there are too many comments to scroll through… Can this be done with touch up paint that is supplied by the manufacturer? Like the ones in the tubes with base and clear coat on each end?

[@jakub_schneider]

Hi, thank You for the video. I’ve tried Your method. I’ve used the spray paint from can with exact number of color to match with my car’s color. But I didnt spray it directly on a car, I made few sprays to a cup and then I applied to a car with my finger - as was shown in video. The paint seemed a bit transparent and too much liquid, so I aplied 2 layers and then waited about ten minutes and then it was literaly IMPOSSIBLE to get the coulour out with the rotary pad 🙈 So how long time is best to wait? 3, 5 minutes? Is the colour cured, when you begin to polish it, or is it still sticky to touch ? Thank You!

[@GrooveOn]

amazing ! I have scratches where someone has used a coin on my doors and bonnet, but not deep, I may give this method a try thanks for sharing ! P.S Could I use an aerosol solvent paint by spraying into the paint lid to get enough liquid paint, then use my fingers to rub in ?

Definitely worth a go. However I wouldn't use paint from an aerosol it will be too thin

[@jeffcartwright7270]

Fantastic video mate !. This is a "Number 1 Top Tip" alright !. Question :- If I used a manufacture supplied "Touch Up" kit, which comprises of a one tube of the body colour and one tube of the top coat lacquer, would using the base coat only work in your fix ?. The base coat will only wash out using gun thinners, so assume from this, that the colour stick is solvent based ?. Am I correct in my theory - Thanks !. Please keep the excellent content coming. Love it !.

[@cvrpov]

Some manufacturers supplies touch up sticks are water based nowadays.. so just bear that in mind and check 1st. It would probably be better to order some paint (50ml) from a local paint supplier

[@robbeard6929]

Mix some lacquer with the base coat, clean the scratch with panel wipe before rubbing with paint and make sure there is no tar around the area.

Great video. Just a couple of questions though 🤔 After repairing the stone chips on my bonnet and the gravel rash on my bumper how long do I leave it before applying PPF?? If I got the car re sprayed I’m told it needs to cure for 3 weeks before covering it? Also will these repairs remain in good order if I do cover them with PPF? Many thanks

[@cvrpov]

The touch up paints usually cure fairly quickly. A week should be suffice.

[@LookinnForward]

Amazing results. What should I look for when getting the paint? Should it be a perfect match paint with the paint color code and all or I can use any generic automotive paint with the same color? And what brand paint do you recommend?

[@cvrpov]

On darker colours a close match is suffice. Any solvent paint though preferably mixed in the colour of ur car using the paint code.

[@dekhog]

I'm confused? I thought the solvent paint is what was supplied in the kit?

[@alexanderschindler9714]

great job. your videos are great. Is that a normal cordless screwdriver or something special

Magic!. What about the solvent NOT being covered by clear? wouldn't the solvent (scratch) go matt and the surrounds remain glossy over time?

Hi mate, Thanks for another impressive video. Does this method only work on solid colours or does that work on metallic colours as well?

Both

[@adrianphotovisions2308]

Seems like the secret is that the paint is more viscous and able to fill and stay in scratches. Is it still not a good idea to sand the scratch first to remove the protruding rough edges?

[@cvrpov]

Best not to sand the area 1st. The polishing tends to round the edges off

[@adriancarter825]

Bigger rock chips on a metallic car, will this work you think? I think the color difference might be just a little too big when theres no clear coat. But maybe if I mix clear coat, thinner and harender and rub it on and buff off. Have you tried this?

Similar mate, they have a fixed colour chart. Our paint is pre mixed with a shine additive if its a Paint Gear Kit that's used. It makes no difference what the manufacturer uses as a factory base. I think most cars inc all the ones in the video will be waterbased

​@cvrpov By two stage do you mean any car with a metallic base and clear? Thats what i have, light colour too on my 97 lexus. Trying to find a work around bc the last owner "touched" in about a dozen chips and a deep key scratch and they've all come out a darker shade AND theyre not flush at all just painted chips. Maybe a rush job and not a proper paint match. Might try adding hardener letting it sit in the lid for a few mins and trying the card swipe method as well as the crown and wet sand method. One chip at a time and see what works...

[@Calicarver]

​@@pixelbath2131 Thanks, that sounds like it might work. My plan is to simply carefully place a layer or two of (metallic) color paint into the chip "hole", then fill with clear and sand down with 1000 then 2000, then polish. these chips are about 2 - 5 mm diameter
