I like the fact that you told the truth, and that's where you have my respect! Thank you!

[@merelyanopinion]

Just to say thanks where thanks is due. I'm starting from 'scratch' when it comes to taking care of my car so every bit of help is appreciated. Mike

[@thomaslewis7883]

My 2 cents If you have a old hood or door and are willing to purchase a good *buffer ( *$230 -$500 ) sand paper, pads, chemicals etc.practice removing a variety of self inflicted scratches. If don't have the proper tools and have never buffed and or color sanded a vehicles paint, I don't recommend practicing on a newer paint job or one your bank still owns. In that case its best to pay a professional to color sand and buff the vehicles paint. Shop around and talk to people who have had their vehicle detailed. Good luck

[@carls4552]

I'm confused why people are leaving comments about 'don't do it', 'it'll ruin your paint', etc. The point of the video is to say it IS bullshit and doesn't work. Didn't you watch the whole thing? He's debunking the myth, HELLOOO!

[@joolakanti]

Nice simple explanation and straight to the point.

[@willward952]

Very honest and helpful, is only a temporary repair, best doing it properly for a long term effect.

[@gmoneygnice1546]

So this is what used car dealers do! Several people I know who bought used cars said their car was nice and shiny for the first week or so and then after a car wash, all these scratches magically appeared

[@Raphael_Ck]

I mean yeah it doesn’t fix scratches but it does a great job of covering them up. It’s not dangerous and it’s cheap. Obviously if you have lots of money get it done by a pro. But if you’ve swapped paint with a badly parked car this is really good !

[@tonylove8066]

Love this guy. Now that's... bringing the truth to surface, lol!! Way to go, bro... Trustworthy demo.

[@tareboda-3436]

Haha, very cool … Finally somebody honest out there! Tired of bullshit everywhere. Thank you 🤘

[@MahmoodKhosravi-m8w]

It works, I scratched my new Kia, by hitting Agaist side of garage which created black spot on side of the car. I used W40 after seeing the video and it took black spot off and made it as new.

[@ProProboscis]

Yep, that's how you debunk that myth and put it to rest! Thanks for your vid

[@daltonvaughn1995]

I can tell by most of these comments that most people did not watch the video all the way through where he clearly states and shows that this does not fix scratches and just covers it up until it rains or car is washed.

[@lindeelou6946]

Wow thankyou. Someone had scratched my car up pretty bad. The boot and side panels. I tried a t cut that didnt do a thing. Watched your vidio and i now have a lovely scratch free car again. 😚👍

[@johnulicky7356]

Great video. All this does is mask scratches. Scratches must by mechanically removed via (In extreme cases wet sanding) cutting compound, and several buffing compounds. This is also what to do with you yellow/foggy headlights

[@Rocabear]

It's cool how this is the same door and same color as my SUV with scratches on it. I wouldn't be surprised if these used car dealers do this temporary hack to sell cars.

[@drqtgurl7]

They do this smh

[@mas3ood2000]

@@drqtgurl7 and then the proud owner goes through a car wash and claims that the car wash scratched the car up.

[@Prophet111]

worked like a dream for my ford focus! reduced the scratch by 95%

[@billybill3807]

yes temporary but when the wd 40 wears off the scratches will show you need to buy a good buffer pad with light white compound polish and a sealer wax after for permanent scratch removal

[@NorthernsoulBoy63]

Car dealership do this before you arrive to see your car . I purchased a Peugeot 508 dark blue Metallic .looked amazing. Drove my 250miles home cleaned the car stratches all over bonnet roof etc.

[@carlocastaneda9297]

I'll try that on my acne scars

I did this on a completely faded Hyundai Excel 1998 model for roadworthy certification. The Roadworthy certifier said: Mann that is a clean looking Hyundai especially for Australia, the sun kills our paint jobs!

Thank you for sharing this video, i asked to my husband if we have wd-40 and he was like, yes! What are you going to do with it? And i was like, because i got scratches to my car and i want to fix it.

[@dave7701]

Use baby oil , doesn't damage your paint. Rub it in just like the video shows then take a clean rag and wipe it down.

[@chrisilever8586]

Does that work ? Some scumbag has scratched my car at back

[@dave7701]

@@chrisilever8586 deal with cars everyday with scratches. Depends on how deep the scratch is. WD40 is not good for paint. It's a degreaser will eventually damage the clear coat.

[@michellepernula872]

Hey I'm gonna spray my new Subaru entirely to protect it.

I’ve done this with WD40. Looks great at first but when it dries, the scratches re appear……

[@airplanegeek893]

Thanks a lot for sharing this homemade fix... it worked on mine’s.

[@linkedup7346]

Great Videos...I have my work cut out for me on my C4 Corvette. A small piece of sandpaper somehow got stuck to the microfiber towel I was using to buff out Mother's Spray and wax. I put scratches all over the car. A pro shop in town, "Classic Coach", advised me that the clear coat on a 1985 Corvette is very thin. I have the wool pad, Mother's #10 cutting and a good buffer, I'm just afraid of trying it. Hope the WD-40 works instead...

[@rondoschiavoni8840]

what would have happened if you had waxed over with a good oil based wax the Wd 40 after it was applied?

[@kerryatran]

Thanks for the tips. I’ll be watching the added links.

[@slammer3825]

wd-40 breakes down the paint so it runs, lightly buff it in scratch then clean all the wd-40 off you dont scrub it hard you take off the paint that was in the scratch's back out and spray a clear coat, itll last quite a while but also its meant for smaller with that size you did it dont get enough paint transfer, iv used on head lights too but you do have to do scrub hard to make sure all the wd-40 is gone or it will ruin the covers the put clear coat on and that last quite a while too

[@quickstepqueen699]

Thanks so much for the honest demo. It just goes to show that people only know half the truth about WD40. I'll definitely not be using it on my car!

Alizee Defan And how did you come to that amazing conclusion? Well, if you actually watch the video, that's whole point of the it. It's temporary. It doesn't work. Try actually paying attention next time.

Great to know! I almost tried this.

[@semiradizdarevic7359]

I tried that's lie

[@Shadow-jo5yf]

Fair enough, but I wouldn't advise doing this. If it works in hiding the scratches it will for sure soften the paint finish and it will eventually blister or peal away.

[@RobPGamerVaper]

Just use Maguires Gold Class Wax or Mothers you can also use a bit of toothpaste and buff it out rinse then Wax if that don't work scratches are too deep and you'll need to wet sand them and re apply some clear paint.
