How to Remove Scratches from Radio

[@FJLC93]

Some phone repair shops will also let you “print” custom dimension glass screen covers. Good way to protect after you do all that work.

[@robertjusic9097]

Or you buy a plastic screen protector for a big phone and just cut it to your dimensions, lol

[@SS-ub9eg]

@@robertjusic9097 it’s way more cost efficient

i love how he gets straight to the point, he doesn’t wait too long to get the tutorial yknow.

[@justinmurphy2227]

This is great since I'm very much into car audio and collecting "old school" car audio as well. I actually use to be a mobile detailer and have a little knowledge of polishing and buffing. In fact Kevin aka Buff Daddy himself helped me out a few months ago before my last spinal surgery (4 in 3.5 years) by sending me a nice assortment of small pads. I'm so thankful for that. Of course he sent some of the1inch pads. I have been using my Milwaukee 12v right angle drill as well as the regular drill for more RPM's. I've used several different compounds and polishes but I've quickly realized that once you're comfortable with the process, the mow down method works wonders with this type of plastic when it's heavily scratched. Using a stiffer pad seems to do better as it's more porous and hold more of the removed plastic....not clear. I had to quickly realize there is a huge difference between the two. The plastic simply will not come out of the pad easily with a MF towel and needs a deeper cleaning. This is why I sit out 3 of the burgandy pads and preload them with 105. I know, that sounds ROUGH but I promise you what you make back in less time trying over and over heating up the screen, makes this a safer process. After it's preloaded, I a tiny micro drop of 105 in the center of the pad, if any, since I want the pours open to catch the plastic. With the drill being used, I'm only hitting around 900ish RPM's. This is pretty slow and work left to right and then up and down....not till the compound is diminishing. I look at my 3 pads as one big pad. I do this process2 complete cycles with 1-1-1....1-1-2...cadence. Hopefully that makes since. I then quickly wipe the product from the screen (don't have to remove everything) remove the pad, grab the other, put it on, and go right back. Repeating the above process. Then one more time. I don't even finish the compound out like you would on paint. All I'm doing, in my words, is chemically sanding the plastic. Just like water keeps the paper from clogging when wetsanding, the 105 is doing this with pad while adding abrasives along with the cutting ability of the pad itself. This is much faster than what I was doing before which was working a polish in slowly with a soft pad. This was heating the plastic up as it was taking much longer especially if there was deeper scratches. I now clean all the compound up and polish out with 205 and yellow pad then black pad. I forgot to mention that I have a container of rather warm water and Dawn to throw the pads in as soon as I'm done. This keeps the plastic that was removed to set up and harden in the pad. Just my process. Again, I worked on maybe 20 headunits, rare and expensive first with old method as I progressed and moved into this new one.

Larry’s ability to convey the end goal and the do’s and don’ts along the way have taken my ability to care for my cars the way I really want to the next level. Opened my eyes and enriched my “toolbox”! Big Thanks!

[@StaufferGarage]

Thanks for the tutorial on this one! Been needing to fix a few of these on some of the cars I work on badly!

Someday when my lowely 91 Jetta coupe is worthy , I'll have this man detail it and not even blink at the price. Every penny is well spent.

I was actually looking for cleaning tips for pc monitors but I ended up watching the entire thing. Pretty cool how much better that radio looks!

[@swagon7626]

Oh my god. I have the same year car and I literally JUST did this to mine this morning before this video came out lol

[@realkewlmann]

Love your comparison of detailing with archeology. Big fan Larry!

[@MrBradyfrazier]

As always, fantastic video. Extremely informative. One point of note: I know you are a perfectionist... you spelled 'surrounding' wrong at 10:39. Doesn't take anything away from the video at all. Well done all around. Cheers

[@charliekeith2157]

Hey Larry, I assume you can use this same process for the dashboard plastic? like the clear plastic covering the speedometer, etc.?

[@Patrick94GSR]

absolutely. I had some sort of unknown marks/residue on the inside of my Miata gauge cluster lens when I bought the car last summer. I took it apart and hit both inside and outside of the plastic lens with 105/205 on 3" pads, and it now looks brand new. I tried 205 first, which did not get rid of all the residue marks (whatever the heck it was), but 105 did the trick, then 205 again to refine it out.

[@-BC.]

Yes! Meguiars Plastic Polish (Plastx) on a rag and finger like Larry showed works fantastic as well!

[@LeandroRabbione]

You are the analogy lord. As always, amazing video!

[@HarrisonHUMAN]

I dont even have a car, I just love watching these videos.

[@FrancoDFernando]

Good thing I watched till the end. I was about to do this on my car's touchscreen lol

[@briandrum1]

I love it. The video has been live for 10-15 minutes and 5 people disliked it. Why? What could possibly be the reason someone would dislike a straight forward video? Get out of your basements people! 😂

[@jorgenvonstrangle000]

I used Meguiars Scratchx on my radio screen awhile back, used my finger and a microfiber towel edge to clean it, some motions by hand maybe 10 minutes removed like most of the scratches, my hand was so tired but it looked better than before, even the plastic wood on my car too

[@jravelo2]

fantastic result. I remember an electronics shop where i had an old HU repaired, they also polished the face due to some scratches (i could live with them but i guess the tech didn't hahaha). Didn't recognize that it was mine when i got it back. He used some plastic polish (forgot the brand)

[@MaxMakerChannel]

How do you deal with customer satisfaction? Obviously overall you are improving the car by working on it, but lets say you create a little scratch somewhere or some item cannot be saved? Most customers would be reasonable, but there could be some that are a pain in the butt. How do you avoid drama? If you crack a headlight than obviously you will pay for a new one, but how about little things?

[@chloeleedow7250]

Good video bud, and my kenwood touch screen has the hard plastic like this but with an lcd behind it so it's not the sort of touch screen you are touching the lcd it's more like the old touch screen phones before they were all glass.

[@SilverWolf1980]

This video is the best Bday present ever!!!!!!! Thanx Larry!!!!!!!!!

I’ve had great success using toothpaste - the silica helps to remove micro scratches, makes the screen smell fresh too 🥳

[@rickbaker4571]

can you do one polishing interior wood trim? it would be so satisfying

[@SenorBolsa]

If you are poor and don't want it to look like trash brasso (the wadding) does a wonderful job polishing plastic like this, I've used it on old hifi equipment for years.

[@SoManyBasses]

I don't have a 1" and don't really have a need to invest in one. I have, however, used the finger method a number of times on "piano black" gloss interior bits, with good results.

With headlights people just use backwoods off and it gets headlights crystal clear. Can you use off on the screen. Not sure what the heck is in off to make plastic crystal clear but it seems like the easiest method

Great video..but is name of products used that’s in brown bottle and name of sealer product used??

[@johnwagner4559]

Very cool subject, but this is off subject, do you have any vids on beginners paint correction using a da, urofiber 50/50, using 3D-1? Stubborn clearcoat, hard. I know about the prep steps like wash, clay, etc. D How often between panels do you clean the pad, do I have to do a finishing process after using the urofiber pad? Thanks.

Mine is a touch screen, with some warn out areas from frequent finger pressing in static spots. I think its rubbed off the anti-glare coating.

Could you polish an iPhone screen to remove some of the scratches

[@rotor13]

No, for the same reason he mentioned to not polish touchscreens. Just replace the screen and get one of those screen protectors that gives you a sacrificial glass layer.

[@brooks3racing1]

You can polish a phone touch screen because it’s glass(obviously glass has its own difficulty and concerns with heat buildup). Larry was specifically talking about not polishing car touch screens that are a matte plastic like a laptop screen, those are fairly fragile and should even be wiped with care.
