My brand new car got keyed. I just watched both videos on how to fix the scratches. ONE QUESTION. will the fixed area always need waxed. After getting a car wash or just over time, will that certain area look hazy and or not like the rest of the car and need to be waxed or polished all the time?

Thank you Chris!! I never write comments but I had to give my experience. Someone scratched my car a couple of months ago in a parking structure and didn't leave a note. It was about 2 feet long, had the other car's red paint on my black car as well as a dent. I got quoted from 3 different companies the highest being $1400 for the repair. Fast forward I just thought I would have to live with the scratch on my car but then I saw this video immediately bought the supplies (as well as a dent remover) and was able to remove the remnants of the scratch even the other car's paint which I was super surprised. It looks night and day different. I am so happy with the results and this cost me less than $30. I am so grateful thank you Chris!!

Chris, you saved my neck on this one! I accidentally scratched the wife's car while moving something in the garage. I was going to fess up, but I knew that she would hold that over me and be pissed at me, even though it was purely accidental. So I bought all the supplies on Amazon right away, yet, it was difficult to pull off, because she's been working from home exclusively for 2 years, so it's she's home 99% of the time, and when she's not home, she's in her car. I was waiting for the moment when she would be away from home, but not in her car, so I could work on it. Finally, about 2 weeks ago, her mom picked her up and they were out for about 2 to 3 hours. The clock was ticking. I was nervous that I was going to screw it up and make it much worse, then I would have been completely screwed. I was trying to finish before she showed up, so I didn't get caught in the act! I followed all the steps, and of course, after the sandpaper steps, it looked awful. Would it come out with the polish? Well, it did, and the wax took care of the rest. I was so pleased at how this worked, as previously, I could feel the scratch with my fingernail, and it didn't come out with polish alone....a few days later, I washed and waxed her entire vehicle, and the car looks great. There is one more fine scratch (not my fault) on the car, and I'm going to work on that next, that one is less severe than the one I caused. You're a life-saver Chris!

Great story that I can relate to. It's like fighting a battle in two fronts. First, you have to deal with the job at hand and your gut wrenching remorse at scratching the car and whether it not you'll be successful. Second, you have to deal with the wife and wait for that sweet moment when she's away and hoping you have enough time and that you will be successful. Good thing she didn't forget her umbrella and return 5 minutes into your project.

I couldn't believe this would work, until I saw it with my own eyes! I repaired some scratches on my wife's car with a slight variation to what you described in the video. First I used a small piece of 2500 grit wet and dry paper soaked in washing up liquid which I scrubbed perpendicular to the scratch. As I did this I started to panic as the paintwork went from high gloss to a dull haze but I continued until the scratch was gone. Once finished I washed the treated area then polished it using Poorboy's World Super Swirl Remover 2.5 grade - already the shine started to come back. Then finally I polished with T-Cut a couple of times before a final wash and wax. My wife can't believe the result and neither can I! For those of you reluctant to use sandpaper on your car, the grades you are using are ultrafine, it's smooth to the touch.

@russellg37758 жыл бұрын

My car (2002 Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor) has been pretty neglected. I keep up with the regular service intervals but besides that I don't really put any effort into cleaning the outside or inside. I've never considered myself a car guy. I once bought a 1998 BMW E36 M3 a few years and was too scared to work on it myself so after spending thousands of dollars at the mechanic I eventually sold it anyway at a huge loss. But thanks to watching a bunch of your videos, I feel motivated to restore the interior and exterior of my current car. If all goes well, maybe in the future I'll buy another BMW E36 M3 and it will be come my project car, hopefully I can restore it to looking nice and shiny and clean and with everything working and running smoothly. I find myself watching your videos whenever I have time now. Now I feel confident to restore the exterior of my 2002 Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor so it looks shiny and clean again. Thanks ChrisFix!

One of the greatest KZbin videos ever made! Incredible stuff when you consider there are body shops that will pay you $500 to polish your car and still doesn’t address the issue. Now my ‘23 Corolla hatchback is just as new. Had crazy amount of scratches (11 total) because of a lazy contractor who was painting my neighbor’s house and had overspray on my car and tried to wash off the paint. It got to a point where he overdid it and really did some serious damage to it. All I can say is, thank you. Chris’s video really works people. It just takes time and effort.

I tried his method on my old car, it works perfectly. Finally applied the same method on my new family car. I am really happy about the result. I bought all the stuff he mentioned in the video. The only difference is that it took me more time to sand the scratches, 15 seconds won't be good enough if you are not pro like Chris. If you have small scratches on your car, just follow this video and subscribe!

Sometime tomorrow, I will feel like I’ve been bestowed with some secret knowledge and power💪🏾 Edit: This method really works. I removed all scratches and was left with a deep glossy patch of clean paint I stead.🙌🏽

And my friends said it couldn't be done and that it will look bad in the summer because its bondo and guess what it is totally fine and you can't even tell. THANK YOU.

Had a K-9 unit search my sister's car. Jumped up on the car all the way around the perimeter and left scratches all over the place. Nothing was done about it and there was no reason for the vehicle to be searched. The cop's excuse for it was that the dog smelled "hard drugs" and that they are only trained to smell out "hard drugs". All my sister had in the car was her medications for her heart problems and other medical issues. Still pretty sad that nothing was done about it.
