[@808G8GT]

I'm a professional detailer and I can tell you...that is NOT a deep scratch. You CANNOT fix a "deep" scratch that has gone beyond the clearcoat into the base coatby buffing. Only scratches within the clearcoat and not compromising the base coat can be buffed out.

[@diydetailofficial]

We have a podcast addressing this actually it’s got “5-5-5 “ in the title

[@jimlucas0]

And if you were a professional detailer you'd know that the clear coat is the thickest coat, so a scratch that almost goes through the clear coat is still a pretty deep scratch.

[@ndagijimana]

That looks a paint stain on black, if it was a scratch, it would have reached primer which is hard to remove by polishing. I do body detailing as well

If you watch the long form video you see it’s a scratch caused by a branch, this is a truck used for hunting.

[@3ldesconocido424]

We all know he used a chalk to mark that “Deep” scratch

Clearly a clear coat scratch, no ordinary scratch will go in 5 secs

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes, it was in the clear.

I've tried it and of course if it's trough the clearcoat it's fucked up but this technique give you a quick and efficient way to make scratches less visible and anyway that's all we can do when it goes trough the clear

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you!

[@youssefosama4466]

I have tried this method using a lake country wool pad. It did remove the finer swirls but the scratch remained as it is.

[@diydetailofficial]

Lake Country Pad and ours is different, the strands are too long to be effective.

[@MariaGonzalez-gk6lj]

Will this get rid of the tiny micro scratches left behind from a car wash?

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes.

[@tC_Simplistical_]

I still seen the scratch after you removed the polisher off the truck lmfao

We have 2 long form podcasts on the subject to answer people’s questions 😀kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6O7fa2cn51lpK8

It’s just a surface clear scratch. Some fine cut and a micro fiber towel can do the same thing. Or a foam pad.

[@diydetailofficial]

Not in this case , it was a much deeper scratch.

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

I was a skeptic here myself. I used it recently and physically saw it in person at a training where we picked the scratch and Yvan demo it! video of myself using it real-time and seeing it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjVc5h9a7OqqM0sub_confirmation=1

A wise man told me when you have a twisty mustache you can do anything in 5 seconds or less😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@diydetailofficial]

lol, not anything

[@delira_designschannel2684]

Looks like a scratch you can remove by wiping a bit of compound with a microfiber. Deep scratches need sanding or actually paint

[@diydetailofficial]

[@LygerTheCLaw]

real question is, will the scratch come back in a week once that wax dries out?

[@diydetailofficial]

Nope, here's a great video for more context: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6O7fa2cn51lpK8

[@fitboy500]

From 🇪🇬 Good job 😊👍🏽

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@ronbeck8643]

That was pretty impressive I’m not gonna lie but depending on how deep that scratch was you basically just reduced that one small area of clearcoat which minimize its UV protection which is all fine and dandy for someone who doesn’t know better but if I were to look at that panel when you were done I would be able to see the unevenness in the clearcoat due to you just removing the scratch and not reducing the entire panel to make the entire panel match.

[@diydetailofficial]

In this technique we are rounding over the edges of the scratch, this explains it best kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYHIdYKNaJWriKs

[@thenext9537]

Cutting compound, but if your nail gets stuck in it, it's toast and have to touch up, feather in a clear and do all that nonsense I hate doing.

[@diydetailofficial]

As long as it’s not passed the clear coat, this works wonders.

[@thenext9537]

@@diydetailofficial That's good to know! Magical stuff I guess.

[@diydetailofficial]

@@thenext9537 no magic, just the fruit of very thorough and extensive R&D.

[@thenext9537]

@@diydetailofficial Fine fine. A *pinch* of magic then! haha.

[@rooboy99]

What do u classisfy as a deep scratch? Deep in the clear or deep in the base or primer? If its deep then it wont come out no matter what compound or pad youre using.

[@diydetailofficial]

Clear coat scratch.

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

I was a skeptic here myself. If it’s past the clear won’t work. I used it recently and physically saw it in person at a training where we picked the scratch and Yvan demo it! video of myself using it real-time and seeing it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjVc5h9a7OqqM0sub_confirmation=1

It’s a scuff mark you can use a cloth and lacquer thinner or rubbing alcohol to remove it..

[@JesusGonzalez-mf4hk]

Nice trick man but are you using a white Crayola to scratch the body of that black car

[@diydetailofficial]

Try it for yourself, this wasn’t crayon.

[@jerryd6401]

I do that with a regular buffer in compound in my body shop if you can grab it with your finger nail you can’t get it out he didn’t tell you that

[@df7242]

Yeah, I used to get used cars ready for the sales lot when I was like 20. If anything your average person would damage the paint, create swirl marks or do nothing lol

[@JackRR15]

That's a given tho. This is a detailing channel. We know nail scratches aren't compoundsble

[@diydetailofficial]

This is for clear coat scratches, anything deeper need a Body Shop, not a detailing shop.

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Here’s a better video of Yvan explaining what the 555 is meant for. I tried it myself as well in the video and it works wonders kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjVc5h9a7OqqM0sub_confirmation=1
