Honestly, this is the most authentic video I've ever seen on youtube. All these videos here tries to convince people that scratches will 100 percent be removed from buffing when in fact, it doesn't. It just makes the scratches less noticeable. Unless of course you sand

Hi, that's interesting! Just a quick question for you. When you touch in, do you just use a basecoat / colour paint pen or do you use a clear coat as well? I've even seen some people put a little bit of clear into the base, so that it's a one time application. I've tried a few different methods but always interested to hear what others do. Cheers, Phil

You explain very well, TY. I was told to keep the buffer off of ridges/peak, you went over them easily. Methinks I should not worry but I won't bear down on them.

Hi, yes, unless you are spending a lot of time directly on the edges, you won't have a problem. The difference was that I was using a dual action polisher (known as DA), these are much kinder to the paint but slower to polish. I still didn't dwell on the edges for too long but the DA allows you to go over edges etc to get a more even polish. cheers, Phil

would it be a good idea to add a thin layer of clear coat over the buffed scratches?
@ReviveMyRide
@ReviveMyRide 4 ай бұрын
Not in this situation. Although I had a couple of deeper scratches on the van I was working on, in general, this video is aimed at buffing out scratches that are in the clear coat but haven’t gone through it. In that case, the polisher is effectively removing a small amount of clear coat to level it out (which removes the scratch) but there is still plenty left on there. Repainting another layer of clear shouldn’t be necessary. Hope that helps!

So well explained. Much appreciate your style and approach. Looks like the Way Joy polishers are no longer available in the US. Any other suggestions? Also how many watts/RPM etc? I'd be happy to use a referral link if you update it to support the channel.
@ReviveMyRide
@ReviveMyRide 9 ай бұрын
Hi @philippelevy1836 glad you liked the vid and thanks for letting me know the link wasn't working! I went and looked and picked out a different machine. Basically, what I'm recommending is the most inexpensive dual action machine that gets good reviews and has variable speed. The machine I use (Draper but doesn't seem to be available in North America) is 650W, so anything around there or above is good. Regarding rpm, I never use it on full speed because it throws the compound off of the pad, you need speed control primarily to make sure you can set it low enough. Usually this means the machine has speed increments of between 1000rpm & 4500rpm. Anyway, here is the machine I picked but please there's no pressure to buy it if you see a different machine you like better or want to buy elsewhere! amzn.to/3xQoVj9 please note, this machine is a little larger than the one I use, so if you decide to buy SPTA pads to go with it, you need the bigger set, they are a little over size to ensure the backing plate doesn't contact the paint during use amzn.to/4dpzg6b Good luck with it! Thanks, Phil

Great video. Is there any use for the rest of the pads in the box, or should I just purchase multiple medium pads?
@ReviveMyRide
@ReviveMyRide 8 ай бұрын
Well, I use the mediums more than anything else but theoretically, if you were using a heavy cut compound (proceed with caution!) to work the paint surface quite hard then you would use the hard pad. Conversely, if you were using a fine compound because you were after the ultimate mirror shine in your paint, then you would use the soft pad. I just don’t try to get (and maintain) my paint to that level. Hope that helps! Cheers, Phil

Hey mate, in this story im bit confused with: scratch that doesnt go into basecoat, is a scratch in clear coat as i understand - so buffing it basically fills that concave with compound removing the scratch? Does wax go on top of clearcoat? can you spray clear coat after the process instead of wax to ''seal'' the work? In what event do you sand down the surface before buffing. Thanks for video
@ReviveMyRide
@ReviveMyRide 8 ай бұрын
Hi, yes, I meant a scratch in the clear coat. When you buff, you remove a small layer of clear coat from the surrounding areas (not from the bottom of the scratch). Once they reach the same level, the scratch is gone. Yes, you seal the clear coat with wax at the very end to help protect it from the elements. No, you wouldn't want to spray more clear coat and shouldn't need to. Sanding is when you want to remove a lot of material quickly, for example if you have a very deep scratch in the clear coat but it still doesn't go through to the base coat. That is another topic and video entirely and I would proceed with caution and do lots of research before attempting this. Thanks, Phil

Sorry for the slow reply! A drill is a direct driven rotary, so yes, it will do the job but can be harsher on the paint. More care will need to be taken not to overheat the paint and also on edges etc. Safer with a dual action polisher but if you take care and take your time, you can use the drill. Cheers, Phil

@ReviveMyRide
@ReviveMyRide Жыл бұрын
It depends on if the black you’re seeing is on the surface or if it’s a deeper scratch (it might be the primer you are seeing). You need to do the fingernail check. Drag your fingernail across it, if you can barely feel it, then the black is on the surface and should buff out. If the scratch feels really deep, then you may need to touch it in with white paint before buffing back. Hope that helps! Thanks, Phil
