How To: Remove oxidation from car paint.

[@machine1376]

Much appreciated brother! I did the same thing to my ‘07 F250 and the hazy paint now looks like a mirror. I was terrified of wet sanding my baby, but I am so glad I followed this video!!!

[@LS-uv5jf]

This is amazing! I have a 22 year old Lexus that will get attention this weekend. Has tons of oxidation. Didn't realize this was possible. Thank you for posting.

[@soyeldiego4878]

Thanks for the video. Want to surprise my son when he gets back from deployment by bringing back the paint job on his oldie but goodie 97 Camry and get the windows tinted for him. Mechanically the car runs like a clock, just the paint job totally is oxidized which is no bueno!

[@christopherjacobtv8204]

Hello, any updates on how it went with the restoration ? - curious KZbinr Ps. Your son is a brave man and God bless em

[@charlesmartin7347]

Now that's one great tutorial. Straight to the point and the correct way. Young Man you earned a big Ol Dammit Boy from Fort Worth Texas. Thanks for sharing new subscriber Blessings and more Blessings

[@tommyduran6785]

Dude you killed it.great job.i detail vechiles on the side and i used a similar compound,loved that you gave good instructions

[@3rbabyjok]

Anyone using a rotary be careful it burns the paint and ur rubber moldings. Even painters tape to protect edges.

[@mcld4214]

that buffing was impecable this whole time i thought i was looking at the interior but it was the reflection whole time

[@lauwe54]

great tip i have a red fiat punto with same problem but i thought i was going to have to spray bonnet and wings ,watching this is great and its going to safe me alot of money i dont have,thanks so very much going to try it before winter sets in,

[@Mr8aller]

Thanks for the post. Very easy to learn and follow. Buffing my z and Durango this weekend for the first time I was a bit nervous. After this I feel pretty confident. Thanks again.

[@migruiz142]

I have seen a lot of videos but I must say your is by far the simplest, easy to understand video. this video motivated me to do this to my suburban. thanks bro. I also subscribed.

[@cmacia06]

+Miguel Ruiz thanks for subscribing! I try to make my videos easier to understand. Some vids over complicate simple things.

[@AB-vt1cp]

Would rather use a clay bar or clay block on the whole car instead of sandpaper and grind away at the clear coat or paint causing a bigger job to refine..Then use a scratch remover which doubles as your polisher if there are imperfections the sealant cant handle, then a sealant to give it a finish and finally a good wax coat to protect your hard work..Just my experience..Research before touching your vehicle surface.. PS: If your vehicle has a thin clear coat or no clear coat using a sand paper is a bad idea unless your repainting your vehicle..

[@stylesprettyworkdetailing2543]

nice job I have a job like that to do this week and have the same HF polisher and the HF DA polisher. I wasn't sure if I were going to wet sand but now I'm sure that I will great job.

[@janecurtis5962]

Excellent, clear concise and is not afraid to own up to his mistake (painters tape)

[@rarerides]

Finally a very good video on how to do this. Thanks man

[@loua.6849]

I am so happy to find this video!! Amazing results. Thank you.

[@sarahdell4042]

This is the best video to help someone with zero experience. Thank you! Should you skip polish?

[@infinagon]

Intro *car revved* Me: revv up your engi.... oh wait this isn't Scotty

[@feur2884]

Lmao no.burn out dang

[@PaoXiong86]

lmao, made me laugh, im a big fan of Scotty

[@WrongFromWright]

Thanks for the vid. I have a 97' E class thats been sitting outside for 8 or 9 years. The car has heavy oxidation. Will try this out tomorrow.

[@daniellucero6838]

This video was helpful. Straight to the point, most peolpe just ramble on about bullshit

[@robertdescant2025]

Fantastic video, I will be definitely using the same process this weekend on my 95 GMC Sierra 1500...it is very oxidized on the hood and roof..

[@geralac1637]

GREAT VIDEO! I'm very shocked and impressed on the results

[@hoodman420]

what most people think is oxidized paint is really clear coat peeling off. when your done put a new coat of clear on the paint.

[@CentroValle209]

PINCHY CHRISTIAN U GET DOWN JAMES BROWN!!! TE SALIO CHINGON WEY!!!!!

[@rkmlb5005]

It’s very useful and short video, I like that you cut the bs and went directly to the point, just have a question for you what’s the easiest way to remove dry wax residue from the car ?

[@cmacia06]

I’m not sure but it’s not easy! 😂

[@MrHiRandolf]

Bro thanks for the How to! Added to my playlist!

[@dj80550]

Great video & straight to it! Dealing with civic fade on a black 08...video makes the process very promising!

[@moNYTx]

Did you clay before this? What about after sanding, can you spray clear over that?

[@FedericoEManzo]

Your videos are great for ASMR. I watch them a lot for that reason alone.

[@uncjaey9219]

Excellent video..

[@cmacia06]

Thank you

[@jaredbrown2479]

Best video I’ve seen on this topic!

[@HockeyVictory66]

You should note that this process removed the clear coat of the paint. All cars have a layer or layers of paint and then a clear coat finish process that protects the paint. The paint on you car will need to be frequently clayed, polished and waxed now that the clear coat is gone. You should put up a video on how to apply a clear coat because that is the only lasting way to keep the paint healthy.

[@cmacia06]

+Brett Vogel I have a set of videos on applying a clear that I am not sure if I should publish. I don't feel like i made them "professional" enough and it's pricey to redo the video.

[@redshadowsports9833]

Christian Macias is it possible to put a clear paint after doing this process? Planning to do this later to my car. Thank you for the response

[@bubbabee1475]

I second all the positive reviews!!! Great video..

[@goingbonzo5923]

Looks good im going to try that on my old truck.

[@amyk8488]

thats awesome. looks great. my car is so bad. way worse than this one I hope it turns out ok

[@TigerStar999]

fantastic job. thanks for the video will be attempting this.

[@cmacia06]

+angeltiger82 Your welcome! The shine is definitely worth the time.

[@KG-gf2jo]

Good video. 1 important step was skipped though. After sanding & compounding you have to polish with a foam pad & polish otherwise the paint will have swirl marks everywhere.

[@tomzell3666]

Great video man. I'm gonna give it a shot. Much less than repainting

[@fredmartine674]

Cool video that I can apply to my 97' Chevrolet Silverado, new subscriber here👍🇺🇸..

[@TheDim3s]

the thing with rotary is that its basicly a MUST to use a DA and compound/polish it, depends how bad the rotary induced swirls/haze is also known as "love marks". only a handful of people in america can pull off a rotary polishing without any swirls/halos, and especially on newer cars (1990+) where there is thinner layer of paint and then clear coat, if you burn that out (which happens fast with rotary) well, we all know what happens next. the wax you applied after rotary hid the love marks, which would occur the next time you wash it with something that removes wax, or simply the wax deteriorates over time.

[@whosDori]

you can always apply a new clear coat on top after sanding

[@cmacia06]

+TheDim3s Great detailed comment. Your absolutely correct. Believe it or not, the car in the video actually did come out perfect. No marks. When I was starting to polish, a way to remove the "love marks" was to use a scratch remover or swirl remover. It's more of a crutch though and I wouldn't want to be using it on every car. It's a little pricey for a small bottle. In the end, I've come to the conclusion that if you live a desert like El Paso and you keep your vehicle outside, it best to get the top coat redone if the clear coat hasn't failed yet. I did that to a car I have and it's outlasted the polished car by a long shot. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching!

[@charlesbartholomew2910]

Excellent results and good job!

[@baircichlids5350]

nice job bro cleaner than an airplane

[@angeldiaz4790]

[@Rambleon444]

I wish I saw this video before I sold my car because of oxidation and bought a new one.

[@cmacia06]

What kind of car did you have?

[@OnPointFirearms]

Rolls Royce Phantom.

[@TsarOfRuss]

Liar ! How did Rolce Royce Phantom get oxidated ?? You always park it in the sun and harsh weathers or something?? the paints usually last 10yrs straight

ha ha, the comments are from two different people; and that was a troll :)

Good video, simple and straightforward..

[@MrRedex88]

Good job mate. I own a high end custom detail shop and must say I like your style and teaching. Should have followed up using a finishing pad along with a light polish, I love 3M Ultra Fine Polish. Miracle Detailing

[@cmacia06]

+MrRedex88 Thanks for you input. I have gotten good at restoring but trying to get better at the finish. Ill go to my supplier and see if he has 3M ultra Fine Polish.

Thanks for this video! Going to do my whole car- should I clay bar first or does the sanding make that irrelevant?

[@kornbred8934]

Nice video brosive. Good work bro

[@jimmysegovia2688]

wowwwww man that is really awesome!!!! thank you for sharing I gonna have to do that process.

[@kabj06]

Absolutely fucking perfect job you did there. Thank you for the detailed explanation. Liked and subb'd!

[@enriquepizano6971]

excellent video!

[@martinvelasquez9674]

THANKS BRO, very informative, will attempt next weekend.

[@jacquespoirier9071]

the result is fine BUT... on an faded paint, the surface is porous and the fine finish obtained doesn't last. this paint needs a constant waxing attention to stay glossy that's not the fault of the process but from the components of the paint that are altered by the UV and road salts.

[@MrEyad1990]

you made it look so easy because you have a heavy duty cutting wool pad . I spend hours puffing with a stupid cheap cutting foam pad .

[@martinanasco7628]

this is what i am looking for, thanks bro

[@zncuentertainment712]

Turned out great!

[@cmacia06]

Thank you!

[@bonedaddy0755]

Doing this this weekend lol

[@mknawabi]

Thank you for this awesome informative video!

[@juancarlostorres4900]

Wow! You made that look absolutely easy.. Thank You !

[@DetailxpertsNet1]

If you leave your car unprotected and out in the elements, the paint will most likely oxidize. The first level of oxidation will happen and you will not notice it over a period of a month or more. Light oxidation can be treated through regular paint cleaning and polishing. Waxing your car after each cleaning will also help protect your car’s paint. The second level of oxidation is moderate oxidation. Just like light oxidation, it can be repaired using a cutting polish. The hardest oxidation to deal with is heavy oxidation. This may happen after a year of your car being unprotected. This can be described by a dull, chalky surface on your car’s paint. It may even be difficult to restore but there are products you can always try before getting a paint job done.

[@MrRedex88]

The 3M will remove holograms and without any dusting. Use the black finishing pad or the 3M Ultra Blue Pad

[@ronaldgreen5292]

Thank you. Your video presentations are very informative.

[@NickM1013]

Great job, looks so much better! D300 and sanding were excellent choices, but finishing with what appeared to be turtle wax? Questionable. Lol

[@TonysLawnCare215]

Nice Job

[@yolandaromero1794]

Wow!! I wonder if this will work on my Toyota corolla that has oxidation on the roof of my car

[@AllAmericanDreamChaser]

[@obitoe3766]

great video ! subbed !

[@vernondavis2207]

Wouldve liked to have seen the wax/polish procedure(wax product) part..Im doing a C5 Vette Targa top section..

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

Wow what a difference!! Thanks 4 the tips✌✌

[@broderp]

Looks great, but if buffing like this removes clear coat, how many times can you really do this and still have clearcoat left on the car? I know you said to wax, but wax is no substitute for a clear coat as a good clear coat will outlast any wax. ?

[@81chowder]

Great video, Thanks!

[@bemartythree6589]

[@YvonneCSalazar]

great video Christian Macias! Thanks tons for making it! I need some response from you'all out here to this question, "Is this a problem w/ HONDA cars?" I have a Honda Fit and I have oxidation on the hood of my Fit, sooo ugly, I had NEVER seen this on my Toyota's, which were also parked outside in the sun here in Dallas, TX. My Dad told me I should call Honda, but my car is out of warranty now. What do you'all think. I do love my Fit though, but this oxidation thing is giving me Fits! LOL! pun intended. Also my headlights are all oxidized. I just fixed those w/ Meguiars Ultimate Compound since it was not heavily oxidized yet & that seemed to work.

[@DoritosResidue]

Should you wet sand only the places there is oxidation? There are oxidation spots only on the wing of my sorento. The whole thing is not oxidized . The spots that are not oxidized are shiney as new.

[@ywzhou999]

Well done. But how do you know if you sand/buff too much clear coat, and what to do if so?

[@kenmclendon4235]

NIce! Thanks for sharing great help.

[@kathrynhoward584]

Hello Christian, I have a 2009 Hyundai that did not get a factory paint seal of some sort. Now the Paint is peeling and it is rusty underneath the paint. I bought wax but need to know if there is anything I can do before painting & then waxing it? On a budget, Thank you, K

[@rottengirl7852]

I really love detailing cars- and I've had experience detailing my lights with wet/dry sandpaper, but I don't know how in god's name you managed to restore it without using a finer grade sandpaper. I tried 2000 grit and it induced marring. Guess it's back to ChrisFix for me. I'll have to try 3000/5000 to fix the marring.

[@cmacia06]

+Rotten Girl hi, i didn't let the buffer sit and kept the speed fairly slow. That's how I avoid marring. When i started polishing I used a compound to remove marring. I'll post it in the description. The compound was specifically rated for sand paper at that grit. Also the less sanding I was able to do, the better. I didn't want people to watch this video and over sand their car, leading to clear coat failure. Thanks for watching! I always appreciate good feedback.
