Over the years cars take a beating from the elements. some parts of the country are worse than others. The effect of oxidization on a paint job can be severe but not impossible to fix. Watch along as I take a 99' Toyota Tocoma and restore it's severely weathered paint back to almost the day it came out of the factory.
I was surprised to find out that this truck is actually red. Total time spent was a few days. This was largely do to the fact that like most of us I have a J. O. B. to work around. but regardless I applied myself and spent $65 saving the owner from a $1500 respray.
You can follow along with other projects we are working on here.

Great video. The wife thought we needed a new paint job on our 2005 Honda Accord. The hood and trunk were totally oxidized. We followed your instructions and it looks like an almost new paint job.
It's good to see a fellow East Texan polishing farm truck paint. I'm in Henderson and have a 95 C1500 that I'm fixing to try and polish out. I'm dealing with a layer of scabby paint and spots where the clear coat has worn through.
Hey I have a 92 g2500 with super chalky paint I would like to know how yours turned out
went from a backyard video to spice world mixtape. nice vid
Good video. Like the time lapse.some guys use 4 minutes of video to open a box.
Ronald Boutan thanks

Dont forget the 5-10 minutes it takes the average youtuber to go through the hows and the whys of how they bought the car and whatnot. ;)
Can You give a part's list of everything needed.? I want to do this too my car.
Don't judge a book by its cover. this video is absolutely encouraging and informatics. Very good job done!
Wow that is amazing, my 94 wrangler has some white areas near the hood, I will definately try this technique on it. thanks for the video, and the whole truck took 5 minutes, I wish.
Come very in handy today dealing with a 20 year vaxhall Corsa also red ,used t cut compound,need to watch your next update to this
I love working on these older Tacomas. The white ones and bright red were single stage paint... no clearcoat. A lot of owner's don't realize this when they turn foggy and waste money painting them.
Excellent job. Everyone on TH-cam seems to focus on base/clear restorations. Finding good single-stage restoration examples are getting harder. My '63 Ford is in desperate need of a good clean and polish. Thanks for a great video.
Between paint restoration videos and welding videos I've found the biggest know it alls on TH-cam. Everyone is a master of something while everyone else does it wrong
Hey fool i did this while you you bump pushed your car to start,im a certified muffler bearing remover and i worked in 69 different shops and i can tell you he is doing it wrong he needs to pour brake fluid over paint,that restores it nicely.
Also im a engeneer and a astronaut and German cars are unreliable and all of this is a joke.
Should I really use brake fluid to prep the paint? If so how should I use per square foot on a red Maida with a killer scoop?
I just did my farther in law 94 blazer Red. I used 3D CUT and 3D Renew it. and it came out nice on panels that had good paint. but most of all he was pleased, and I was surprised lol
This man went to town with the same pad never cleaning it out. Lol
Lol ...
Good video. Even the lettering popped after the cleaning. I bet the owner was/is stoked!
Stellar Job!!! Thanks for sharing buddy. You know what your doing, it shows !!!
Bet that feels good bringing that poor old truck back to beautiful again.
I used a orange foam cutting pad on my truck to get rid of the oxidation but it didn't work a one I bought at Harbor Freight. I need a one that get rid of heavy oxidation fast and easy. I have a variable speed polisher but am gonna need another pad to get all the oxidation off. I heard the Hex Logic pads are pretty good. My polisher uses 7 inch pads.
bob smith, thanks for the feedback. that music was from the youtube royalty free
Paul Foster I assume you bought all that stuff as a kit. Can you specify what you bought? Your link doesn't work. Thanks
Can i do this by hand?
Dear@@ellajainath6122
Yes, definitely. I did it several times totally manual when I was younger. But I can assure you that you will have a lot of problems with your arms/hands/fingers afterwards for some days At least if you do a whole car at once (see some scenes from the original movie "Karate Kid" for instance). ;-) :-) It also needs way way more time to do it by hand. And you need a lot of practice not to polish scratches and stripes into the paint. It's also really very useful to clean the paint as much as possible before buffing it.
Especially for this purpose there are some specific erasers and/or lumps of specific clay (brand 3M for instance).
After polishing you should wax it and buff it out again. So you have to go over the car for four times if you do it right (including washing it). Maybe even five or six times if you need to sand something with for instance 1500 grit wet sanding paper and/or abrasive polish additionally.
If you are fit enough you can do all this by hand. At least mistakes respectively harm to the paint is not as easy done by hand as by polishing machine!
Hope I could answer your question.
Best regards luck health and wisdom.
Thanks brother. I need to find that rubbing compound and get to work.
Great job. The truck looks amazing
That's a roof dude, not a hood. Nice Cardinal Red recovery and restoration. Thanks for the time lapse. Clean out that pad a little more often. I am sure the owner was like "Wow, you are a magician". This reminds me to test before pronouncing a paint D.O.A., thanks for the inspiration.
Nice job, but you really should cut down on the coffee...
lol thanks for the feedback.
Nice finish. One question though. Would it have been beneficial to change pads during the process?
I've always been a hand waxer, not a buffer guy, but over time my guess would have been that the pad would've gotten some contamination from using the same pad for the entire vehicle.
Also, as a a post I've read below, you probably should've used a clay bar to remove pretty much all the remaing contaminants, as your car sounded like sandpaper when you initially rubbed it. Great video, I think that the end result came out very well considering what it looked like before. I'd like to hear other people's comments on what I just wrote, but I think your next step would to go and get a finishing top coat to help keep that hard work in tact if you decide to use it as a daily driver. My accord is black, ugh, and I think I need an orbital buffer to help with my process very soon as the sun has been beating on it during this summer, I wish I had a garage. What grit grit was the compound /polish you used? Red is tough to work with as well
With the compound are you removing what clearcoat still remains in order to get to the paint to remove the oxidization! And if you’re removing the clearcoat are you re-spraying a clear coat over the restored paint?
Dan that's a Toyota. Rumor has it Those foreign jobs used single stage paint before 2006. If it is indeed single stage there is no clear coat. Do your research bro. Lol. I deal with customers that think like you and they really should stick to pushing pencils and leaving the labor workers to do their jobs🙏 cheers mate
Trust the process Danny. It's obvious he knows what he's doing. The whole point is to make it shine. If a person really cared about all those concerns it wouldn't get that way in the first place
Although I do not agree with how he runs the buffer at a angle. That can cause swirl marks
no wonder why it took you so long to buff the paint with all the paint transfer and not changing out the pad at all and using the edge of the pad more than the flat part of it
You should make some more there good
Good work. Time & patience.
What is the music on your video?
I tried to do this by hand
And it improved but it's still relatively hazy
Use a machine buff works 100% better
unless the product you use is red, the color that you wipe should definetely not be red. this means that you've gone through the clear coat and to the paint, there is no protection of the paint anymore. Good video though
Zachary Frye in the two months since I've wrote that, I have learned about single stage paint haha my ignorance has since been corrected
Hey man, was just curious about that buffer you are using. I saw you posted the link for it, has it held up great through out the years? Also, just to be clear, the process you would now reccomend with a black oxidized/ chalk looking car would be: Wash, clay bar, rubbing compound, polish, then wax?
Excelente opción a un costo muy bajo comparándolo con repintar el vehículo. Suscrito a tu canal!
Gracias wey
I have a red faded 93 geo almost as bad as this truck. Have never done this before but am willing to try. A friend told me that after you rub compound you should replace the layer of clear coat you took off before final polish. Am I missing something, is the wax the same as clear coat?
+joaquim pipa putting a clear coat on the vehicle to protect the paint can't hurt. I didn't do it and a year later the truck still shines within minimum oxidization. and if you watched the one year later video you can see that that truck was not babied. good luck with your project.
Great video
I think somebody had their beer gargles on.
man, you work really fast :)
Good job , very helpful.thank you
Where are u getting overall paintjobs for 800 to 1000 dollars?...is it done with a brush?
Great job bro!!!
I like that buffing pad machine; what brand is it ? Where did you get it? It plugs into electric ?
I've never seen someone use a buffer like that before, lol but it seemed to work
combination of Luck and persistence.
That truck needs some major claying😄
I was just about to mention that since it sounded like sandpaper, you beat be to it lol
I regret claying my truck.. I did it in the sun and the dog got out so when I went to chase the dog and came back it won’t come off now..
Truck looks good on camera..you really need to clean that pad though and did you clay that paint...pads get clogged up with single stage residue...and also I didn't see you use any ipa
Good job I will try it
My 2003 grand marquis had a really oxidized roof and hood. i initially thought it was just faded clearcoat, as there was a patch on the roof with brand new shiny paint and there was no clear seperation from that and the rest of the paint. i did exactly what you did and it came out really bad. so i took 1200 grit and polished it. and it was better, but still looked pretty terrible, in the end i just repainted with rustoleum (which i'm going to rip off and repaint as soon as i can, that stuff is shit)
+ghostrider433 every situation is different. I get a lot of questions about oxidized paint. some based only on the description i'm given sound like you can't save it. not sure what went wrong with the Marquis. In the situation with this truck I thought I could fix it. but even then I tested an area to make sure it was going to work first.
Men that's a very good job,I'm also a detailer I just can't believe you did all that good work for 50$ seems like a 300$ job to me
Yeah he’s a good pal; that’s practically for free... I hope the friend threw in a couple of steaks and cold ones too
On that paint job that you are going to correct, I would use that brush, other than that, I would not use it. I bet your pad had a ton of red paint in it.
to restore softpaint is really not difficult. much more difficult is to prevent the gloss. once softpaint starts to oxidate the only durable solution is to paint a layer of clearcoat. otherwise after 2 or 3 washes the paint will start to oxidate again.
who would spend a couple of thousand of dollars on a respray for such an old truck anyway? To me the comparison is more about spending $50 to improve it vs leaving it the way it is...
Jochem Hinloopen you've never owned a small truck like this before, right? Worth their weight in gold and then some. Definitely worth anything to keep them on the road for the most part.
1) Owner probably didn't know the paint is a single stage paint that needed buffing.
2) Those old Tacoma last for freaking ever and are still worth quite a bit of money.
Because you’re not a true car enthusiast...
Why wouldn't you want to use the stronger compound you mentioned, is it bad or what?
This looks really good where did you buy your supplies and do you buff with the polisher until you can see anymore product
I used 3M products that I found down at the ABC Auto Store. Many more experienced people than me suggested that I should have used a clay bar to clean up the nasty paint. I chose to do it this way. This was a single stage paint job so my approach was to polish the paint but be cautious if the paint is thin as in the hood on the Toyota you can remove to much paint and expose the primer. In a two stage paint job had there been wight spots I would say that your clear coat has failed and you need to take it down to primer and repaint. There are a lot of good pro's out there so be sure to reference what they are doing as well. My goal with this was the fact that I had never done anything like this and wanted to see if I could. There is a video follow up from a year later on this where the truck spent the majority of the year parked under some pine trees after I did this work if you want to see that.
Paul Foster ill have to try that I tried some polishing compound on my nissan hardbody and didn't like how it came out I also got a harbor frieght polisher do you recommend upgrading I am going to switch to a wool pad over the cheap foam one I used
I used a foam pad on this one. I don't really have a preference on what would be better.
are you buffing base coat? I don't think your buffing pad should turn red like that.
+kambo209 After all was said and done I suggested he get a clear coat applied to it. if yo watch the second video you can see how the truck turns out. It still looks like the finished version i gave back.
Hes cutting, the pad is supposed to be red. Its the only way to restore paint that bad.
How many pads did you go through? Also, do you need to wax afterwards?
How many of those pads did you use?
Did you use 2 different foam pads ? And did you only use the 1 3m product ?
do i want to apply alot of pressure? or very little? i am doing this to my 1998 f150 some time soon...
thancks great job God bless you
Is the car paint single stage? I mean it doesn't have clear coat?
Hello I was wondering what speed setting on your buffer did you use? Thanks
I had mine set to 3
steve71 Turn it up to 11 for best results.
steve71 he said in the video a 2 let's see where that leads us
No brushes 2 buckets wash mitt and a drying towel you need to clay Bert polishing
Can you provide the name of link to the buffer and 3m solution

Nice job
Long Live Auto polishers
Do i have to use polisher its not that bad just hood is looking faded
THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT VIDEO!
it's great watching you bring that paint back......but that music has to go......
How long will the truck keep the new shine? I was planning on compounding and polishing my '89 F250 (dark blue). It's oxidized too. After watching this I may skip the compound step and just try a nice polish and wax after.
I told them that if they keep it washed and wax it about once every six months it should hold up just fine for a nice long time.
Ok great. I actually tried with my DA polisher today to bring life back to the roof on my factory dark blue '89 F250. I just can't seem to get it to bring much of a shine at all. Maybe it's sun faded. The sides and bed aren't bad, but the roof and hood are pretty faded or oxidized.
I initially started with a heavy rubbing compound. my polisher has an adjustable speed setting. but all that said before I said i could save it I checked the paint thickness. once I figured that is was salvageable I figured I would be able to remove a layer of paint. if you have huge white faded areas it may be to late.
+Paul Foster ...And did it.?
What pads did you use for this job ?
How much should you charge someone for doing that?
What type of foam did u use to polish?
Nice Job!! What was the name of the music track in the timelapse?
Bad ass brother
thanks bud
That damn screen door!
How long before it faded
You should've clay barred it first so you're not burying contaminants deeper into the paint. The amount of polish you used and the number of passes shows proof positive that you used the wrong products. If you would've used a red or orange cutting pad you would've gotten better results, faster, using less product and less time. Then you could've used the blue pad with the polish you have there and it would've really shined.
Oh, and don't ever use the very edge of a polisher. Sure way to burn through the paint.
Well done
thanks, it was a lot of work but once I was finished it was really worth the effort. hardest part honestly was the back of the cab.
Thanks a lot brother I learn so much in this video.
i would like to know what the long term look is like
+TheLastSoundNinja I had someone a few months back challenge the results of what I did, in response I did another video where I went to the owners house. it was a year after I did the work. you can see in that video what the truck looks like now. it is in the tacoma playlist
Lol haha. It won't start but owner is worried about paint.
Always try and keep your pad flat!
U r the man good job
how well/long did it hold up? im planning on doing the same to my car
EPereda1995 it should last forever if you properly wax and continue to care for the vehichal.
Good background music choice...
How can I get some of that wax. 3m
I still don't understand that why the paint is on the buffer
It was a stage one paint job, so there isn't a clear coat finish. that is why you were seeing paint on the buffer.
@@PaulFosterrebuilds its like the old cellulose paint
what kind of pad were u using in the beginning?
Dirty and nasty one... For the whole time :D
It comes good mate.cheers😎😎😎🚘🚘🚘🤠
i wll try it out
is that single stage paint job?
+wawan wicaksana that is a really good question, I don't know for a fact that it was but I believe it was.
Dude do move fast! 😁
Can you give me all the items you used for this gonna pick up tomorrow to save myself some money!😂
did you clay bar it before?
+avalanche no I didn't, i've had other people suggest that it would have been better to do that. I washed it and scrubbed a lot of the grime off of it before I did the work but yea. live and learn.
why is the car loosing it's paint
where did you buy the 3M finesse it
+truck guy I actually bought it at the local ABC Autoparts shop. 50$ a bottle but really worked good for me.
Why would you not clay bar furst
Autoglym resin No need to use a buffer
A ghost did clost the door
i'd charge more than $50 bucks for that amount of labour...
thanks for the video.
thanks for the feedback
Awesome 😎
how much would you charge to do this ??
I would have to see the vehicle to see if I can actually make it work for you.
