REFURBING a scratched TAYLORMADE Driver Using T-CUT... RESULT

[@danielmurphy8218]

I started flipping clubs about 6 month ago Simon because of your videos and have done really well from it, so massive thank you 🙏. I also started refurbing as well, bought a buffing machine and repairing paint chips, scratches too with big resale upside from doing so. I started using testors model paint and a toothpick for driver paint chips from another KZbin vokey refurb video, works wonders or you can use Tamiya paint too. Good luck with it all, love the content.

If you take the head to a decent motor factor they can scan the paint and supply you with touch up pens and spray cans. A bit like colour matching at B&Q

[@TheLukesweeney9]

You can get t cut in different colours which have paint pigments in them that'll help to fill in the bigger scratches. Might be worth looking into

[@ianmooregolf]

Love the refurb series. I keep nicking the Mrs nail varnish for infill till she brought a few for me. Get some autosol on irons and putters that aren't coloured. For worn-out grips lightly sand then clean with soapy water and leave to dry.

[@terrydinsdale1115]

Hi Simon, Halfords Aliminium touch up pen is a very close match to the M4 paint. I'm currently in the process of refurbing an M3 driver and will will post some photo's of the finished club head.

[@charlesharrison6291]

Another great video. I’ll use T Cut to sort out the scratches on my woods. Looking forward to your next video.

[@AMFV11]

For tee marks and other blemishes not through the finish, a magic eraser pad works amazing. Also great for golf shoes and cleaning staff bags.

[@bazzaclarky7445]

Good effort mate. I look forward to seeing more of these refurbishment videos! I love messing about with old clubs!

[@GlennDawsonuk]

Excellent series of videos , well done.

[@mjsgolf7004]

Impressive Simon, lets see if it helps with the resale value, it really must do ! Great vid pal

[@mauricecalles9913]

I bought a set I found online and I didn't notice the driver had a chip/hole on the top of the face. I was wondering if I can fix it or if it's just a total loss for me. Thanks for all the great content, you have given me confidence in buying clubs online even though I messed up on this purchase.

[@Tapps94]

Just bought a Benross driver for a great deal on eBay with a slight scuff on the head, and as if by magic here you are with this vid :D

[@petersquires4168]

I have been out and bought some t-cut today Simon, so thanks for the video. Keep up there good work mate

[@SASGolf]

Awesome mate! Works a treat! 👌

[@matt3963]

I have an M6 3 wood with sky marks, might try sort it out after watching this! Coincidentally, my driver is also a Rogue. Be interested to see if that is equally as easy to buff marks from. Keep up the great content!

[@davidleigh2573]

I bought an ex demo M4 last year. I don't use T cut instead I use Brasso polishing cloth. It comes in a tin like Duraglit. Figured if good enough for polishing metal surfaces without scratching it should do the same on the M4. It did and without the high gloss that t cut leaves. Give it a try.Can also be used on irons Also use Marky pens to touch up black.. Stay well. Thanks.

[@simonhobbs9097]

As I mentioned last time, try some rubbing compound, it will be quicker than T Cut, but less brutal than sandpaper, give it a go.

[@johnking7649]

I am ‘Liker’ number 1. I’m keeping my light on! Great idea to tidy up the old clubs during lockdown. Hope it goes well for you Simon. 🤗

[@SASGolf]

Thanks for watching and being the first Thumbs up pal! Mate so cheap and works wonders. 👌

[@applescruff]

Very cool, love these refurb vids. Keep up the great work/videos!

[@timothyalexander566]

To speed up you might like to look at a small polisher. I sometimes detail autos and there are small polishers for tiny spots. But honestly it looks great by hand. 👍🇨🇦💯

[@mattrichards3070]

I’m probably one of the few, but I hate that white/silver front on the Taylor Made clubs. I think that re-sprayed gloss or matte black would look infinitely better... actually thinking about giving it a go.

[@dp4auburn]

I’m with you there. Taylor made makes cheesy looking stuff. Too many finishes and materials clashing.

[@blaggers12]

Had this idea during lockdown one - bought second hand, tired sets of irons, got hold of a grinder, metal polishing blocks and gryptonite golf club paint. Takes me a few hours to get the shine back on the irons, but have doubled my money on every set I've sold on!

[@garysmith6994]

Mmm yes we enjoy the refurbishment vlogs

[@briantripp8064]

You need to get a polishing mop on a battery drill and this will speed up the process also you can get different grades of scotchbrite this will leave a Matt finish , liking the content

[@TheHayesTV]

That is some great work! When you finish the putter it would be good to compare how good it is Vs before you did the refurb. Is the performance improved or is it just looks that are improved.

[@grinnders]

Could you use a black sharpie to touch in the scratches on the base??? I know from experience that using paint to fill in scratches (or stone chips on a car) is a very tricky exercise.. although there are great walk throughs of the process on Ammo NYC KZbin channel including tooling syringe vs makeup cotton bud stick

[@budbeaird7098]

I use mothers aluminium polish to remove marks on all parts of club heads, including the face. To remove the gloss, you can clear coat with a mat finish or wet sand with 2000 or finer grit sand paper. Just be careful not to rub/sand through the paint.

[@craigdavidson8172]

Have you done a video on how to change a shaft in your house, i would love to know how it can be done.

[@damonburke941]

Love the content. Going to try any tidy up my spare aet

[@SASGolf]

Thanks Damon! So easy and quick mate, no brainer 👌

[@RedRaven889]

I have a Callaway XR16 with a sky mark and some paint scratches. It is obviously matte black paint. Do you think it is repairable...? Would make an interesting video Simon. Love the videos mate, really unique

[@SASGolf]

That’s a tough one mate as haven’t quite figured out the dark matte finishes. Worth a look though. Thanks boss 🙌

[@ChoppedMutton]

Put some masking tape on the back of the crown, which you want to keep shiny, and take rest down again with some sandpaper.

[@SASGolf]

That’s a good idea that mate. Thanks. 👌

[@ChoppedMutton]

@@SASGolf Worth a shot. Sandpaper might leave patterns or marks of it's own.

[@paulhoughton5431]

Great stuff Simon, just bought a scuffed Driver on eBay after watching your video, I hope I can replicate your good work?

[@MattStow]

On iron faces the grooved part is like a greyish colour apposed to the rest of the face. Is it a different material or just paint. I want to refurb some old clubs but don't want to damage the faces in a way that they rust or become useless

[@jonnyf1354]

Do you know if This would work on a Ping driver?

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

Just found your channel, you're a pretty funny dude for a Wish version of Jude Law. How does someone get their driver in that condition? And did Taylormade have an affiliation with BMW back then? Same colours as the BMW M series.

[@christopherclarke5978]

You could use a 1500 grit then tape up the face and clear lacquer the club again. You could even tape the silver off and use mat Clear lacquer. You also need a buffing machine.

[@skaterandy13]

Would this work for scratches on the face too?

[@saintpatrick6681]

mother's polish, buffer pretend it's an automobile finish. them magic eraser things work well. have fun Buffy

[@johnbrennan2636]

Simon, coloured car polish / wax, been around for years and dries hard and various colours

[@SASGolf]

Yeah think I need to start having a look into that. Cheers john. 👍

[@deanmarkwell5997]

You can get car body spray by the can in halfords cheap I’m sure you would find a very similar metallic grey

[@mikethomas2730]

After t-cutting if you get some 000 wire wool and go over the shiny bits you don't want it will dull them without scratching but go gently

[@oliverwalker795]

What irons would you recommend for a beginner/intermediate?

[@SASGolf]

Tough question really mate. As a ball mark guess 712 ap2 irons. 👍

[@richarddrozd7585]

I have an idea for a video if you're interested 🙋🏻‍♂️. Working out a way to re-black clubs that were once black, say Cleveland Black Pearls. The reason I suggest this is because I want to re-black my Cleveland Black Pearls and don't trust other youtubers. 😂

[@patg9754]

Anyone in Australia know what's best to get to do this here? Also a really fine grade steel wool might be safer than sandpaper, only a guess though.

[@mrpostie100]

Have you thought about colour magic.

[@thedon426]

why do you not use 000 Wire wall instead of sandpaper

[@edkedge68]

This really makes me think about buying a cheaper/battered M2... 🤔

[@michaeltrasy2020]

Doors any one know the name of that song at the beginning ?

[@michaeltrasy2020]

Sorry for the spelling error

[@mattdavenport7596]

Can I have the driver please, I happen to love a shiny m4!😂😂

[@garathjax420]

Buffing wheel. You gonna start doing this a lot then its gonna make your life a lot easier... No sand paper....buffing compound comes in different abrasive strengths you just apply to the wheel. Watch any knife maker on youtube or someone creating stuff using epoxy .

[@golfmonkey8183]

don't use sand paper use wet and dry paper and some water you can keep the matt finish and its finer than sand paper if you sand it you create heat and it can ruin paintwork

[@titch4909]

Whats your ebay name fella? Would love to see what you have for sale 👍

[@SASGolf]

Sasgolf-66 thanks 🙌

[@justinbedford]

You need a bench mount buffer polisher and you will knock these out in 5mins

[@stevelegge3307]

If it isnt a DA polisher and its rotary, there is a real chance you will burn through the paint, unless you are experienced in polishing and understand heat dispersion you could end up ruining the club.

[@mattchiles7631]

Get a cheap bench polisher , about £35 would of done it in 2 mins , great job though

[@nigelplain5520]

better of using wet and dry sandpaper

[@jonathanmayes4731]

I’m a professional painter and decorator. Start at 800 grit (wet) work your way up. Use auto glym headlight polish to finish

[@patg9754]

Nice one, gonna try that on an x2hot pro 3 wood I'm trying to offload 👍. Do you think a fine grade steel wool would be safe to use, or more importantly effective at all lol?

[@jonathanmayes4731]

Don’t use steel wool

[@maness2112]

Sky mark protector, get some clubarmor.com

[@GlennDawsonuk]

Site appears to be down

[@KINGKURT14]

too talkactive

[@cat30285]

It almost time for you to invest in some power tools to make you job quicker and easier!!

[@stevelegge3307]

I'm begging you, please stop using Tcut 😔😔😔😔😔

[@JTWno1]

Dodgy dealing

[@frankhernandez6883]

Um..good, um, video....very umm, helpful. Um! :-()
