Thanks James glad you like the video. No disrespect taken... there is some shite out there 😅👍🏻

[@alexdodd6768]

This is all I use. I find either the wool pad that comes with it or the rupes cut and finish are very similar. I use either, this is more something I use for repair type stuff. However i also love the yellow pad and also use that all the time. The finish with the polish is incredible. Great stuff. Specially usefull for getting you out of trouble if you ever make a mistake as well You got it bang on jon as always.

Brilliant video, and great to see it done on metallic paint. I've ordered the full kit for my metallic black car, looking forward to trying it out!

[@schrodingerscat1863]

Use a denibbing file rather than sand paper, it will cause a lot less damage to surrounding paint/clear coat and flatten the new paint much better, also wipe the scratch with isopropyl alcohol before applying paint to make sure there are no contaminants in the scratch. Very good result though, may not be 100% perfect but if you didn't know it was there you wouldn't be able to see it which is the best you can hope for with touch up repairs.

[@cvrpov]

Yep. I have a denibber. This is a DIY video though that people can do themselves

[@MDOP1]

You mean (denibbing file?) small piece of metal with sharp edge? it can be used to flatten the edges of the scratch too?

[@schrodingerscat1863]

@@MDOP1 Sounds like it, just google denibbing file and you will see what I mean, look like small metal block with rounded off edges with a serrations on one side.

Great video, easy to follow. The kit seems a good price, it's just a shame it doesn't include a few small pieces of the wet & dry sand paper as these generally have to be bought in bigger packs, and for small jobs you just don't need 8-16 large sheets of sandpaper.

[@MrBigMalT]

Wowsers! That’s incredible! Defo going to try this…. For the novices amongst us, when you talk about “polish” many of us think of wax polish. But I’m guessing that some sort of cutting compound - can you share which one you’d recommend?

[@beniceeveryone-i6s]

Nice tutorial for the DIYers, and I love your work. Looking at closeup of first coat paint, it seems the very top end of scratch was not painted, like you missed a spot. At the finish reveal, the same spot shows the defect, albeit very slight. Would you be able to redo that area, if you wanted to?

[@greatbenga]

Many thanks for your valuable experience but I would like to ask can I add a clear coat + hardener ratio 2:1 with metallic paints for deep scratches repair or even light scratches

[@michaelcremin9018]

Nice. Work mate keep up the good work

[@IS-217]

Great videos and very helpful. I've watched a few of your videos, I am going to try and repair a few chips on my truck. I've been filling the holes with paint over the last few days building them up flush. I gotta say I'm very nervous to use sandpaper on the paint even if its 1500 or 2000. Although your examples are giving the courage to go for it. I have a few questions I'm hoping you can answer for me. I used the touchup match lacquer for my truck colour wondering if you know if the paint is good on its own or if I need to use the clear coat too. Also do you have any suggestions for polishing compound that I should use. Do I use a cutting compound first then a polishing compound or just straight to polish after the 2000 wet sand. Really appreciate the videos. You do some great work Thanks for sharing

[@cvrpov]

Just go steady. Use a small block when sanding..plenty of water. Maybe a bit of soap or car shampoo for lube. 1500, 2000 and 3000 then a good compound. I like farecla g360. www.paintgear.co.uk sell some in 100g tube.

[@shill6449]

Very good. Also, people should always be aware that a repair, is barely visible, from even a short distance away. Not unlike viewing a wall-mounted picture/photo, if you like. Imperfections are there to be found, in all walks of life, if you push your nose against it? And how often does anyone do that?

[@mister.wizard]

Can you use touch up paint from the dealer that is a match of the original in the same way?

[@AsifMamsa]

Hi. When you say that lacquer can be used instead of the gloss enhancer, do you mean lacquer and hardener or just lacquer on its own?

[@RuiRex]

Great video. Just a suggestion: move the camera over when you're going have the hand in front of it or blocking the subject. Showing the quantities of each compound would have made the video even more detailed. ;)

[@Gian-LucaVindigni]

Great video with great advice! Very similar to ChrisFix's scratch repair guide. I do have some questions however. I happened to drop my motorcycle and i have a little concentrated bundle of deep scratches that I am repairing. I have purchased a paint match kit that came with the paint and clear coat. Since the scratches are very confined, do you suggest just taping off the area and filling in the scratches without necessarily worrying about the accuracy of the paint placement? Once all scratches are filled I intend on wet sanding until flush and applying 2-3 coats of clear to the repainted area. Wet sand again and buff for a nice shine. Your thoughts or tips are welcome :)

[@mfb6310]

Looks like what I need. Don't want to buy the whole thing if only 5 drops (or tops 20 in my case ) are needed. I'm not a pro, just suzy homemaker who bought a newer used vehicle

[@TheUKNZ]

Hi, just watched a few of your other videos where you used your finger to apply the paint and didnt sand down or prep like you did here. Curious why you did not use the same technique here?...is there a level of width or depth of a scratch that depends on your approach? Thanks!! Loving your videos.

[@cvrpov]

The rub and buff method may of worked in this instance but I wanted to show another technique.

[@teapotwood2817]

I have 6 stone chips on a secondhand car I purchased two are rusty in the bottom any tips on getting rust out ? As someone who has never used a polisher can I use a DA polisher, or would I be better with a rotary machine? am I correct in the assumption the da will take longer but safer for a beginner? thanks for posting this video 👍

I've got a jag as well and there are some chips on aluminum panels. There's a section along the edge 3mmx25mm to the aluminum. Would this section need an etching printer or epoxy printer before before applying paint?

[@cvrpov]

I would personally just touch these bits up as usual

@@cvrpov would these areas touched up like that stand the test of time? Does the touch up paint effectively seal the area against moisture/ oxygen to prevent future corrosion bubbling up the paint?
