Right about 8:08 he gives a pretty important tip: "keep it movin'." Don't stop the buffer in one spot our you can burn or buff through the paint. Very important to keep the buffer moving over the work. And watch the edges. If you hit the edges, like the edge of an open hood or door or deck lid, you can go through the paint pretty easily. Not a tough job he's doing here, it's a perfect DIY deal, you just need to be careful and take it easy. I sure like his tip about sticking the pad on offset to simulate an orbital motion. 5 Stars on that one!!

[@tripsadelica]

Sweet project...I'm an old fart living downunder. Some little bastard keyed the fender on my lovely Mitsubishi Magna (Diamante in the US) yesterday. I looked here on KZbin to see your freshly-posted video. I followed your instructions and the key scratch is gone. So I can't thank you enough for the advice. The only things I changed from your instructions was the brand of some of the items which I could purchase here but I suppose the local stuff was equivalent. Thanks heaps! Oh...I forgot to ask...P.S: I also own a black Holden Commodore Sportwagon (think new Chevy SS-which is built here- but in a wagon version which you guys can't get). How do I keep the finish from looking dusty all the time? I love the black finish but keeping it nice and glossy is doing my head in!!! LOL!

[@akaredcrossbow]

This is how you buff and polish a car like a man with a nice traditional rotary mans buffer and not with those 3lb DA toy’s that is used for what is called now paint correction. Try to do a job like this with a Dual Action polisher, you will still be trying to get it out. If you want to learn how to Buff or polish, learn on a rotary like this one first and any other polisher (DA Dual Action) will be a walk in the park.👍🏻👍🏻

[@SweetProjectCars]

Thank you very much my friend we appreciate that and we are with you all the way on your comment

[@mattwernecke2342]

I really like how to create the DA movement by off setting the pads. Every one tells me not to use a rotary because I'll burn through paint. Every one tells me to learn on a cheap da polisher first. I don't believe any of this. I want to learn using the best tool I can, because once I master it, it will save me time and make me more money. You are a great teacher! Thanks so much!

@@SweetProjectCars Thanks for the compliment. I'm naturally curious. I've experienced a lot of failures in my life, but I get over it and move on. I'm trying to reinvent myself now at 48 years of age in order to provide a legacy for my daughters. It's scary, but I:ve decided to start living life on my terms. I will not allow someone to dictate to me how much my work time is worth. I am accustomed to working 70 hours a week. I can't work for anyone but myself. I tell my oldest daughter to be curious, and learn how to learn. I encourage her to develop her talents, and to follow her own path, and to ignore skeptics, and negative people. That said, a dream is only a dream, unless you have a goal to get there. I don't want to be on my death bed with the ghosts of wasted talents asking me why I never used them to better my self.

Your DeWalt polisher is commercial grade and expensive. Would you recommend that DYI'ers buy a much less expensive Dual Action buffing machine? They are safer for a novice and considerably less expensive. Amazon and eBay sell them starting at around $70.00. The results will be just as good. Thank you.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Ron the reason we suggest this buffer amzn.to/2BYt8VD is because it's the only one that we have found that will do the job when you are dealing with horrid paint jobs a dual action buffer will never get you the results you are looking for this is 40 years of car detailing speaking thanks much mad Mike SPC

Racist comment

[@saigoneze4465]

Hi i have a black car and accidentally was stupid and ran the hose over the side of the car momentarily and now there's scuff marks (white) in the paint but not through the clear coat .It disappears when i wet it.I wanted to know do i still have to sand it then apply new clear coat? As it's got ceramic protection so i'm unsure what to do .Also the ceramic didn't do anything like it advertises and able to just wipe off light scratches .Please help

Sorry to hear this I know if you used our ceramic coating this would not have caused you an issue any how all you need to do is follow the video here and use the same tools and products and it will remove the marks in your paint my friend

How many carwashes/rainfalls until the scratches are visible again with this method? It's not as permanent as new clearcoat obviously ...

[@SweetProjectCars]

Doing this process removes the scratch it will not reappear after it rains have a great weekend

[@fv1291]

Can you sub the electric polisher for elbow grease? How about a polishing attachment for a drill motor? This process sounds less intimidating than the sandpaper route for us novices!

[@jedkimmel]

Great explanation (and results!) But I do have an issue with the video thumbnail. It showed a bumper sensor so I assumed the video showed how to remove the scratches in a plastic bumper, which is what I'm looking for. I don't know that you'd recommend using the same technique on painted plastic.

Thank you very much have a great day! mad Mike the hammer SpC

[@tommcdaniel4900]

Very nice video. Never thought of using metal polish for scratches. Good idea. I've done it mainly by hand for dealerships for a number of years now. By hand keeps good control and does not create friction to burn clear. For newbies, make sure you keep your buffer moving quickly over the area because the clear from the factory is usually VERY THIN and can burn through easily. Just like in the video, keep things moving rather quickly and not a lot of downward pressure. Something that will also help is a very LIGHT WEIGHT variable speed buffer. Light weight for newbies will allow you to get used to the machine and will be easier to control that downward pressure. Thanks for sharing.

[@SweetProjectCars]

you have to use care to not burn the clear but we have never had a problem with that. we try to be explicit with our videos and not take all day doing them there is a fine line for sure. thanks Tom

Is it possible to do this using an orbital palm sander that has a 5" hook and loop pad and use 6" buffer pads with it? I have a DeWalt D26453 (variable speed, 3amp, 7,000-12,000 opm). I know it will take more time, but I have more time than money. LOL

[@SweetProjectCars]

thank you very much for your comment and for being here with us...

[@Sanhiriyan]

Can you do the same on the bonnet for rock chip paint scratches or for that matter any part of the car as long as it is not exposed to the metal? I guess you will need the primer and the paint plus the compound if the metal is exposed. Please also suggest an economical driller. It would still be an investment close to $200 with out the drill. How long do you think the foaming pad and the buffer would last with the amount of work you do? We can multiply it by at least 2 with the amount of work we do. As always thanks again a ton.

[@SweetProjectCars]

You’re very welcome this method that you’re looking at with this video will work on light scratches in the clearcoat we have other videos that deal with paint chips if the paint is chipped away those would be the ones you would want to do

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Is this a long lasting repair or will it need to be redone after a car wash?

[@SweetProjectCars]

Joseph, it may work depending on the drill buffer you use and it will take you much longer if the scratches are bad.

[@toomanyhobbies2011]

This is what they mean by 'that will buff out".

[@SweetProjectCars]

you got it my friend

[@mpikas]

So is there some secret that makes metal polish (the 3M stuff in this video or the Mothers Mag/aluminum in most of videos that I've watched) that makes it work better for these kinds of things or is it just that it works OK for everything and you'd still be better off having the "right" compound to do this?

[@SweetProjectCars]

Mark it was a secret of ours in our detail shop for years until we started doing these videos...we use it because it outperforms everything else even the 3M products...it just flat out works :) thank you very much my friend :) and we are glad to have you with us :)

[@mpikas]

Interesting. I'll have to try it. I always assumed that you REALLY didn't want to get a metal/aluminum polish on paint because some of them have some fairly harsh chemicals in them to chemically remove some of the oxidation you get on metals (I don't know about Mother's in particular, honestly I've stopped using it on aluminum since some of the harsher stuff works a lot faster for that). I was also surprised that in your removing oxide/clearing the center caps video you seemed to say that it doesn't leave any residue and you can go right over it with the clear where I know that a lot of the metal polishes specifically claim to leave a layer that protects the freshly polished metal and tend to leave a very slick surface (again, I don't know specifically about Mother's). I just found your channel and I've been binge-watching your videos when I have time. Back in a past life 20some years ago I did boat and car detailing and back then I tried everything but finally found that the 3M product line + a few specialized products seemed to work best. I've since gone to worrying more about performance and fixing actual problems so my "stock" of the "right stuff has been slowly dwindling (used up and in some cases gone bad, at this point I've had a few of the plastic bottles crack/fall apart), so I'm having some of "yea I've been doing that for years," some "wow, is he really going to use that on that,? and some, "LOL, I could really just trash the 3 buckets and shelf full of detailing chemicals that I have left and do everything with a compounding pad, a wool polishing pad and a tub of mothers..." ;-)

[@SweetProjectCars]

[@greggpennington4819]

Did anyone ask/comment on the order you used foam/wool pads? I had learned to use wool for cutting, then foam for swirl/wax finessing. This also seems intuitive because the wool seems more "abrasive" than foam. I'd be interested to hear your feedback on this. (Specifically, I use Meguirer's Fine Cut for scratch removal (wool), then 3M swirl remover (foam), then finesse wax (softer foam). I like the tip on metal polish -- if cheaper than Meguires, but can't see your results in the sun.

Good instruction but it is ok to work clean.While pads do last a long time they do need to be cleaned or replaced. Even though you were planning to polish I would never recommend rubbing your dirty hand across dry paint, migh as well drag some 2000 grit sandpaper across it. I get it though for the DIY guy but still they should try to do it right.

you should always wash before doing anything to your paint

[@leesmith2031]

You are the BOSS! :) I think everyone really enjoys your videos. Im glad I found your channel. You mention that you did the whole car....how much of the turtle wax did/should you use to do a full sized car like that?

[@SweetProjectCars]

Lee thank you and we used about a half bottle and the car looked AMAZING...Thank you very much glad to have you with us )

[@AutohandelStefanGottwald]

ok, it looks good. great work.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Glad to help! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike & team

[@stevo091]

Very much enjoyed your video. My car has many scratches due to the car wash. Will try your method thanks for sharing your video. Cheers.

[@SweetProjectCars]

thank you Stevo :)

[@steveprestek9608]

Question: I use terry cloth/microfiber/fleece bonnets and then pop 'em in the washing machine. How do you clean the compounding pad and the buffing pad? Or do you even bother?

[@SweetProjectCars]

we soak them n 50/50 super clean and hot water then squeeze them out and air dry them we thank you very much and for the quality comment, it is very helpful for the whole channel :)

[@steveprestek9608]

Excellent. Thanks.

[@SweetProjectCars]

you are very welcome Steve

[@Kingfisher1215]

Great video. Simple and with common inexpensive products. I'm sure the metal polish would work well on headlights in taking off the yellow.

[@ecsourdough4047]

Does the clear coat thin out over time naturally? In other words, can paint be heavily cut into to remove scratches even if if hasn't been polished much before despite being old? All these miracle videos have me wondering just what can be done! Awesome channel

[@SweetProjectCars]

We have never had clear coat thin out from polishing it hopefully this is the answer to your question did not quite understand it a little bit thanks Mad Mike the hammer sweet project cars

[@hughjassstudios9688]

Ideally, if you correct only once (polish) and protect regularly (wax, sealants, ceramic coating), it will only thin once by microns, and never again

[@jonienglish3231]

Good Video Question ? i have a Simonz Orbital Polisher /buffer 10" will it work just like your machine ?

[@SweetProjectCars]

joni give your buffer a try and see if you like the results if you dont then you know which tool to use my friend thanks mike

[@ryanreynolds7771]

WOW WOW WOW !!! I love your videos wish you were near me. I bought all the stuff to do it perhaps this summer I will.. I am afraid to do this on my Mustang it color is Kona Blue which is easly scratched and shows everything just like a black car does... I bought it new some yrs ago and I always used synthetic spray on wax and I never drive it in winter. I read if you do the ceramic coat never use carnuba wax. I cannot afford ceramic coating unless I do myself but I hear you must prepare the paint b4 u do it ??. But it now shows swirl marks. and I don't have a garage. I have a car cover I use in winter to store the car but it must not really protect it like it should be because when it rains the cover freezes and im sure it leaves makes on the paint. I know you must do this on a cool surface . I wish you were near me to show me how to do it properly without burning through clear coat .. My aluminum hood is corroding along the edge which is a known Ford problem on many Ford cars and Ford will not fix it unless u sue them and no guarantee you will win or that the corrosion comes back very disappointing on a car you take care of (( SO NO MORE FORDS FOR ME !!! )) . Since I never drive in winter I was so upset Ford would not fix a known problem so I bought a new hood but yet to install it after painting it because Im afraid it will happen again but I hear these corroding problem even happens on cars that are garaged even the 2018 models are corroding now !!!. I also own a Chrysler Crossfire I bought used and unloved.. with big spots of clear coat peeling like fenders hood and both mirrors and the pop up spoiler and on top of the roof along the drain channels . I see some guys use the 2k clear coat but I never see this sold in any local auto parts store IN Aberdump Maryland lololol. THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS

[@SweetProjectCars]

Ryan Reynolds we have a lot of videos my friend that will help the diyer like you and if you go through them you will be very proficient in doing the job my friend

thnk u sir I am willing to learn btr

[@SweetProjectCars]

All the best! Thanks for your comment. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@DrDennis]

Would you rec'd a polisher(rotary) like yours or a DA for an intermediate? Here you can ruin your paint with a rotary. Thanks

[@SweetProjectCars]

Dr. you can ruin paint with pretty much anything if not done correctly...I found with a rotary you can get great results faster. if you use a rotary you just keep it moving and the pressure you apply is very minimal unless you are doing headlights with mother metal polish.

[@Gotallofthem1]

Great, now show me how to remove a scratch that has Broken through the Clear Coat, the Base Coat, and its down to the primer (as the scratches on this car weren't too bad as they were only clear coat ones). Without looking like a crap fix that is, assuming thats even possible. Thanks

[@SweetProjectCars]

they usually do look like crap because of the paint match..is very tough even for a pro body shop, they usually paint the whole quarter panel or the like

[@Gotallofthem1]

Sweet Project Cars Darn, was hoping there was a neet trick to help it look good.

[@Killmonize]

Does it make a difference in turtle all metal polish premium vs turtle metal polish? I just got my buffer from amazon. So Stoked.

[@SweetProjectCars]

If you can get the premium we would use that my friend good job on the buffer you will love it

[@Killmonize]

@@SweetProjectCars thank you so much. Yes i love it so far. Working wonderful .

[@evan5232]

I used an abrasive sponge on my truck and it left a nasty, hazy spot- the area is dense with light scratches. Anyone know if this method will work for me?

[@SweetProjectCars]

Evan if you use the exact tools and show in the "SHOW MORE" of the video description it will work great thank you for asking and thank you for being a great subscriber :)

[@aidannugent8228]

if scratches are slightly deeper than the ones shown in this video would the technique you are using in this video be applied with the addition of some wet sanding?. if so what grits would you suggest using?

Question ....what speed is the polisher at? I have all the equiment coming soon. Just want to make sure i dont mess up

[@SweetProjectCars]

richard killmon run it about 1500 to 2000 and just take your time and keep the buffer moving and you will do fine...we always suggest practicing on something less important

[@Killmonize]

@@SweetProjectCars thank so much.

[@Donly1pt]

Great video. But how can I tell a clear coat scratch from a paint scratch?

[@SweetProjectCars]

FilipeGo if you fill the clearcoat scratch and see color under it then you are through the clear and to the paint. we have many more videos on doing deeper scratches in clear and in paint

[@Donly1pt]

Tkx for the reply. I just think it's weird that none of the scratches disappear with water.. not even the ones that appear really superficial. The paint is metallic, don't know if that changes anything. Do you think that it could be that the previous owner polished it so much that the clear coat is practically gone..? Could this happen?

[@SweetProjectCars]

FilipeGo it may just need a good buffing with this amzn.to/2C18A9Z then wax it :)

[@ikinokottatamashii7315]

Will this work for black cars cuz as we know light scratches are much more visible on black cars.Btw love your vids man.

[@SweetProjectCars]

we use this method on every color vehicle with great success my friend

[@jesusislord2149]

Will this work the same way with a black car? I've heard it's harder with black cars. Would it remove hard water spots on the hood as well?

[@SweetProjectCars]

sure will thank you very much glad to have you here!!

You done a video on how to clean pads and micro fibers and stuff?
