I took my car to Carmax to get appraised and they offered me 10,400 because the paint needed a “respray” according to them due to several panels having scratches and fine scuffs. I stumbled upon your videos while trying to find a way to remove those blemishes without respraying. I ordered some solvent paint got some pads off amazon and went at it. I’m not going to lie and say everything came back like factory but you really had to look closely to notice the previous damage. I was able to get a higher appraisal and sold my 2017 pathfinder to them for $12,000. You helped me make an extra 1600 dollars! Any way I can buy you a beer?

Jokes on the guy who will buy the car and scratches will appear once the paint dissapears, you need clear to lock in the new paint.

[@jas_era]

⁠@@Chris-hw4mqmy thoughts too but he adds in a lacquer to the base paint that he doesn’t really mention

[@xmo552]

You *think* they gave you more money. Check the paperwork. You probably were given $500 and/or you paid more for the new car. The dealership never loses Bud.

[@paulb9630]

I’ve used your methods a few times on my driving school cars that have had minor branch scratches and even car park scratch from a inconsiderate driver and have all been easy to deal with, the ones who roast you are likely body shop guys who are pissed you have a cheap easy way to fix damage to a 95% standard that most of us would be super happy with for the fraction of the cost .

[@daveoconnor5084]

Can I just say your videos are a god send for ordinary people who can't afford a respray of a complete panel. These arse holes who leave negative comments are people who are sad, jealous or know no better. It's a fact of life that some will disagree with what you do. I was a dog handler, we had a saying that three dog handlers would agree. But only on what the fourth handler was doing wrong. Please keep you informative videos coming. Thanks 👍🏻

That's exactly what kind of audience this channel is aimed at Dave. That's why I get annoyed with the comments and negativity. Thanks for the feedback mate

[@GadgetUK164]

Amazing job! So silly that some people think these types of repairs are faked lol - definitely works, defintely real - no faking here. There is an element of skill and attention to detail that some people lack when trying something like this for the first time. Patience and experience = amazing result! Well done!

[@cvrpov]

Thanks for the comment 👍🏻 its increasingly hard to create engaging content these days! If its too long people loose interest, if its chopped up to save time people accuse you of faking the repair! Hopefully this video is somewhere inbetween!

They won't benefit from it and yet they will leave a cranky comment that, in the end will increase your profile here becasue the more negative comments, the more engagement, more chances of your videos randomly appearing to ppl like me who were actually after solid advice.

I'm just a petrol head, home DIY'er, and enjoy keeping my little BMW and assorted toys in tip-top condition. I don't have the budget to pay a detailer, much less a body shop, to handle any nicks and chips, so I've begun learning to do my own paint and body work. This tip looks to be a fantastic time saver. So much so, that I in fact popped over to Amazon and purchased a set of 3" polishing pads and backing plate for a drill. Greatly appreciate your video!

Excellent video once again. I had the exact same problem with a scuff mark on the wheel arch on my last car, which I managed to repair using the method you showed in one of your earlier videos. The scuff was more than 30cm long so my scratch repair insurance would't cover it! So I took the plunge after watching your channel and it came up beautifully. Needless to say I haven't taken out scratch insurance on my new car! Your brilliant channel gave me the courage to tackle jobs I would't have dared to, so thank you so much.
