[@expressdotpc]

Excellent video. I tried repairing scratches on my old car using fine grit sandpaper, touch up paint, HOLT spray cans, 2k clear coats, putty, Meguiar ultimate compound, wax and scratch remover and the result was horrendous. Nail polish is the way to go. I agree with others who have said not to use nailpolish remover. They tend to damage the clear coat and then even after spraying 2k or 4k clear coat, you never get the shine back.

some guys actually scratched my car yesterday, probably because they had a hard time getting out with a trailer. (were jet skiing) fun part is that i had already bought clear coat 3m sandpaper 2000 and a 475 metallic sapphire black to do a repair on the bumper. so with this vid for sure i can get it done. thnx mate

Reason for using nail polish is it is thick and can easily fill a deep scratch. No way regular car paint would fill a deep scratch like this with just 2~3 coats.

[@waqarmahajan5588]

Thy suck

[@Superman-xr1oh]

@@SupeDefy I figured there was a reason for why he was using nail polish instead of matching car paint. But he never explained why in the video. The only pain in the ass I can see doing it this way is trying to get the damn colors to match. Would this process work for super deep scratches that go all the way down to the car's bear metal?

[@mrwick7961]

nice, tooth picks are better for putting the paint on tho. gives a smoother finish

[@Danielson1818]

Every other video said that all you can do is wet sanding. They all claim that there is no way to fix a scratch deeper than clear coat at home, and you proved that wrong. Infact, it seems that the only difficult part is mixing the perfect color. I'm glad you advised to still polish everything when done

I've ordered a Dr Colorchip (which appears to use the same sort of methodology as this) to try and fix some scratches I 'rediscovered' after removing the vinyl wrap on my car, but if that doesn't work I will try this or just spray the panel. I get more damage to my cars paint in the work parking lot than anywhere else. Have scratches all along the front fender where I think someone has sidled alongside it and hit the paint with a bag zipper or jean rivet.... I followed your other guides to blend repair my bumpers and got a pretty good result, learnt a lot and will have a much better result next time.

I touched up my car scratch before it did look great. But after few months the nail polish must have a reaction to the car paint that it spreads a cracks veins from the nail polished painted scratch. It looks like a spider web ,you can see cracks that spreads into a bigger area of car panel.

If you added a clear nail gel it will keep it from drying quickly. Then use a little uv lamp after you apply. Better to do multiple thin layers.

Hi, I was just wondering why you couldn't get some of the actual 'matched paint' and paint that on with a fine brush?

[@MediaEasier]

Such a better way to do this is, slap the paint over the entire length of the scratch quickly in 10 seconds, then run a razor blade over it at an angle just like a plasterer does with a trowl on a wall. This way it sinks the paint evenly into the scratch and removes the excess without you doing any rubbing after.

[@jamiejeffries5017]

Razor blade at an angle ? I’d be worried if it causes more damage

[@chriskvikstad4980]

​@@jamiejeffries5017I'm a year late to this but he means feathering it. You hold the blade at an angle with the blade edge facing away from the direction you are pulling it. Just like how you use a putty knife or drywall compound trowel for home repair projects, or a spatula for spreading frosting on a cake. You never point the edge in the direction you are pulling.👍

You should let it dry or the color might come off onto the brush if it hasn’t dried completely. It could also clump onto the brush if you apply the brush onto it before it’s finished drying, which would add more texture to the scratch
