Sir, how is it that it took years for me to find your channel? TH-cam needs to circulate your videos more. So many fake detail channel but your the real deal....
Thanks for this video! I'm one of the people you referred to that don't have the expensive machinery to repair my clear coat. Your fix turned out great. I'll definitely give it a try.
This is great. It takes the horrible faded look and brings it back a few notches. Just EXACTLY what I was looking for. My truck is 21 yrs old and worth only 5k. Perfect fix
At 6:39 you say " and if you use a wax, it'll keep the clear coat in beautiful, beautiful state." How if you're removing the clearcoat? Also you say to go back and forth, but you state that one can use a machine to do this. Orbital machines do not go back and forth. Can you elaborate?
I think this man's work-ethic, and elbow grease did as much for that hood as that product! Although, I'm going to order some of it. He's a damn hard worker. Which just goes to show, that if you're willing to work hard enough, you can do some great things.
I really wish I had known this trick when I had my nice 93 Lincoln Continental. If you start this maintenance right away as clear is starting to come off will that make a big difference? How long does the restoration last when car is stored outside? All the critics of this tutorial as based on purchases of vehicles that have not been garaged to speak of. Knowing this work is great for people driving older cars.
I used this method on a section of my hood. Most of the clear coat on the hood is missing except around the edges. I scuffed up the clear coat and use the razor on the edges just like in this video. I use 1500 grit sandpaper wet sanding the clear coat. Then I used 3M machine polish and it came out great. Now I'm going to do the whole hood. Thanks very much for this video
I just did my hood it didn't come out that good. But I didn't sand the clear coat is that what I needed to do ? and it took me 3 hrs just to do 2/3 of the hood that was bad ?
I have tendency to agree with you Michael, even if it is in a permanent fix which I know it wasn't at least you can go around for a few days looking like top of the Rock,it's not our fault that the automotive industry charges top notch for second rate paint I haven't seen one of those clear coats that stays on there never seen that old enamel paint do that
You can put a little piece of tape on both sides of your razor blade edges/points to help reduce the risk of gouging. The water helps keep the abrasives on the paper clean and not loaded up with clear, so you get a more efficient and consistent cut. The more water the better, for the most part. Have you experimented with Optimum Clear Coat Restorer? Might be a product you'd have some fun with. 👍👌👍
I bought some of this on a whim at a flea market, finally after 1.5 yrs. I got around to trying it out. I didnt do any prep (only washed the area I tested), i put a tiny dab on a terry cloth and went to town... I'm working in random sections and cannot believe it works! I wish i could show the difference! Plus, i get a nice arm workout🤣💪
Most of you missed the point. He said, if you cant fix it (meaning don't know how to paint or have the equip.) Or cant afford a paint job its a way of making it look better. Me, I paint but I'm impressed with how good he got that completely shot clear to shine. I've never tried to save something that far gone since I've been painting for years. I say, pretty cool. More power to him.
@@fpbbq He is cleaning the clear coal AND the base coat. The smoother part is the base coat. The strange part is, the base coal, in the usual base coat-clear -coat paint job, is flat. In the car hood he is working on, the base-coat is shiny. It looks like somebody painted a clear-coat over a shiny finish coat, not a base coat. Or, someone had, already, polished the base-coat.
There are many reasons the water is used during wet sanding some of the main benefits are; the water flushes the particulates from the abrasive, keeps your sandpaper from plugging up (most wet sanding is done with super fine grits so abrasives plug very easy), dissipates friction heat, prevents the particulates from becoming airborne (when sanding things such as fiberglass if you breath it or it gets in your eyes it sucks) and most of these would cost time and money.
Thank YOU!! Love your video tips! also, in the old days, we use to use >>Any kind of kitchen cleanser like Ajax,,,, n water spray bottle! If no money for sandpaper tip! If sandpaper the higher number the finer the grit for anyone qho wants that tip! I use the same as you, 1000 grit too! If ppl can not afford the cleaners a Tam Tip O the Day! Thxs I am a fan!
So that's what that is. Holy crap. I used to think that it was because somebody had detergent or bleach poured all over their hood. I'm sure that would do it. But none the less, good to know there's a solution to the problem.

Holy Moley! I need this. Thank you for showing that I can do it without tools. I don’t want the noise of a polisher at night. After work is the only time I have to do projects. I prefer hand tools or elbow grease over power tools.
Appreciated the strong advice I work on detailing auto body but with the work comes time and maintenance on my own vehicles I think I will use this product
Your like the 'Boss Ross' of Clear Coat Repair! Super Cool Experience! Thank You!🇺🇸👍+ Mines Pealing from Sun and Snow! Now I Can Have Way More Confidence When Trying to Emulate Your Experience! Thnx Again! Blessings Always🖖
Good Job ! The sad thing is the majority of people won't do this because it takes something called WORK !! To many people they're afraid of work or it's a cuss word to them . lol I think it's great !!!
how long does this last before the basecoat oxidizes to a dull finish again? When i was a kid, my dad had an oldsmobile and you could polish the base to a shine but eventually it would fade again
Yup that can be and it's been done. After you polish it to a smooth and glossy state It'll get it's shine back then rub it down with alcohol to get any residue off before you apply the clear coat.
Hi Rob ,I want to call or if you can just tell me what type of towel/rag did u use to clean with the hood in step one. I’m so exited I just ordered this product 😊✨
I just orders from you all today I wanted the wax also but I'm dealing with paying all my own chemo treatment but can't wait to try it out ! I only could afford the paint cleaner can't wait !
That's the darndest thing I ever saw! I always wondered if something like that could be fixed without major paint job. I got an old Pinto that I'd like to try that on! Thanks for the video!
Hi Donald you want to know something crazy most people think this is a wax! But it’s not its a dedicated cleaning polish because your cleaning and removing years of built up contaminants what remains is the smooth glossy surface you can do it with a machine or by hand you can clean it in sections over a period of time or getter done all in one shot anybody can do it and save a ton of money Ain’t that cool ? You can order 24/7 at our website lukatdetail.com or order direct at 505-304-8652 Have a Merry Christmas! 🎄👍🏼😎
This will last because it's not temporally masking a problem but rather it's fixing it by simply cleaning the clear or paint job back to a smooth and glossy clean state. Clear coats peel primarily because they get really dirty, You'd be amazed at how beautiful an old oxidized paint job look after it's been cleaned. Got questions call us at 505-304-8652 order anytime at lukatdetail.com
I used a tungsten bladed scraper for my 22yr old Vauxhall Astra. You would NOT believe how hard the crazed lacquer was. I was shocked. In my case I took the super hard lacquer right off the estate roof and bonnet leaving most of the paint....then wet and dry sanded....then Aerosol repainted and lacquered.....lot of work... Thanks for this....interesting approach and I wish I'd seen your video before......great idea. NoAxe
How about a compare of cost. Labor and materials. This method vs. painting the panel. The latter seems less expensive if professionals are doing both jobs.
Hi Shawn When used correctly on and oxidized clear coat that is not peeling it’ll look 👀 almost if not like new And it’s a permanent fix If the clear coat is peeling it will improve the over all look 👀
Hi Jim If your gonna reclear coat there is no need to use our products there are lots of videos that show how to prep your vehicle for a spray can paint and reclear coat suggest you watch them Make sure you pay attention as to how to prep the surface for a repaint particularly the sanding and leveling process Go getter done buddy!
Thanks. My Blue, 2005 Honda Civic has the exact same problem. THIS INFORMATION IS VALUABLE. THANKS AGAIN. I will use your techniques for an inexpensive restoration.
To me the object is to keep that from happening in the first place. I did an experiment on my 2002 Tacoma years ago and that was to wax it every time I wash it. Not with liquid wax or paste wax but with spray wax. The liquid or paste wax would work but it would take to long so when I have washed my truck and dried it off I apply the spray wax. I have been using Turtle wax Ice spray wax and it only takes 10 or 15 minutes to wax the whole truck. You just spray some on and wipe it right off with a big microfiber towel and just work your way around the truck. The nice thing about the Turtle wax Ice is that if you get some on the trim it wont turn hazy like regular wax. After 17 years my paint job still looks great because the wax protects it from the UV rays of the sun which is what causes paint jobs to deteriorate.
Hi Lee congrats on keeping your paint job in the best possible state by paying attention to it It is easy to keep your paint job in a beautiful state by simply paying attention to it As easy as that is most people don’t pay attention to there paint jobs thats why they het bad Keep in mind if you know anyone who’s inherited a good running vehicle with a problem paint job like an oxidized clear coat or an ancient oxidized patina’d base coat please tell them about our lukat fix it color and gloss restoration kit This can save them a ton of money and you’d be surprised how well a paint job can look after its been simply cleaned and polished back to a smooth and glossy finish This is our website if you want to see our offers check us out here 👉🏽 lukatdetail.com Keep washing and waxing your paint I feel you I’m the same way about my paint jobs 👍🏼😎
I wouldn't say he knows what he is doing. You can't get fisheyes in hardened or dry basecoat or clear coat. I agree with the comment above that recommends scuffing the entire part then reclearing the entire part

YOU MADE THIS LOOK AMAZING, I BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE EDGES OF MY DOORS AND ROOF AND HOOD, WANTED TO PAINT BUT THIS RESTORATION LOOKS EASY AND CHEAP GRACIAS!!!!
Many of us has a car till the paint is like this or worse. It's not a cover up. It's to make better than it was after all we see it every day the ugliness of that kind of paint. This is quick solution without knowledge expertise. At least he took the time to show others his wonder.
when you have a new vehicle or a used one with no paint issues wax at least once a month and this will never happen.. it's usually in your car's manual how to take care of the vehicles paint as well as interior.. some people are just LAZY and think that washing is good enough. if you live in a very hot climate I would paint protect after every wash...
Greater use of lacquers, or clear coats that are water based for "environmental" issues means more are susceptible to sun damage and especially the acids rain, road dirt & particularly bird poo desolving it leaving marks and thinning the costs down. Washing & waxing regularly helps. Remember when Sundays in the UK used to be the day your dad or granddad would spend it tinkering on the car, washing and polishing it? Two pack lacquers are tougher, but they may react with older finishes and create other problems, but if you have the time and space to do a home repair I hope it works for you!
If only I was more careful with my car. Now I'm stuck with this same issue on the hood of my car it's completely gone of the clear coat, have rock chips that has seriously taken the clear coat and paint on a panel of the car on the passenger side. Luckily even if it's a bit late I'm starting little by little to really make my car as if it was brand new.
I have watched video! after video! And I finally purchased this and used it the same day .....I was about to pay between 400 and 600 just to paint one spot on the hood of my car 🚗 and I used this stuff and it is AH-MAZINNNN! The compound does its worth but the wax hits out the park! I used the sand paper 1000 and it worked very well, but the wax hits it home.Don't waste your time get this stuff immediately. Asap.
Love his video. Entertaining and educational.I did mine yesterday but got a little orange peel effect over the larger areas. I will update after the blending.
Thank you for showing people how they should do it yourself repair for people who want to make it look better without painting.... The wack jobs who complain could have just watched another video and not waisted my time with there comments great job
sand it down good few light coats of primer wet fine sand it then apply paint & clear coat wet fine sand it then give a good buff it will look like a show car belongs to hollywood.not wasting time to hand buffing it.i do it better.
My best advice to help advance your company would be to add a sure fire way to get rid of the old ridge line clear coat. So even up close it looks good. Maybe a cutter specifically designed for old clear coat? I don’t know but best of luck to your company!
I have my clear coat on my car coming off. I bought the car but the shops around here ask 5k to have my paint put back in my Honda Civic. There’s heavy sunlight here. What can you recommend?

Dumb comment. Employed people can afford to get the car painted right if it needed to be done. This is for people that dont have money to do the job right.
So my paint isn't chipping or peeling but it is very very oxidized, maybe early signs of clear coat failure? I can still use this product? My paint looks like that bottom section you have taped off.

Cellophane (Scotch tape) would be thin and help the razor blade to slide. This would let the blade remove the clear coat more easil

Holy Moley! I need this. Thank you for showing that I can do it without tools. I don’t want the noise of a polisher at night. After work is the only time I have to do projects. I prefer hand tools or elbow grease over power tools.

Hoa? Or you just a pussy?
Good video but what happen after a few washes?? I put silicone on my faded clearcoat and it looks new for a day or 2, then fades again
If it looks so much better spray some fresh clear coat on it after.
Either way, you gave me some ideas to ponder. Thanks
Brilliant video and tips i realy got to try this on my car roof thanks alot for your time and video.
Appreciated the strong advice I work on detailing auto body but with the work comes time and maintenance on my own vehicles I think I will use this product

SUPERB JOB !"
THANKS FRIEND!"
how long does this last before the basecoat oxidizes to a dull finish again? When i was a kid, my dad had an oldsmobile and you could polish the base to a shine but eventually it would fade again
i would apply a 2k spray clear coat at the end, it is the only way for long lasting results.
Yup that can be and it's been done. After you polish it to a smooth and glossy state It'll get it's shine back then rub it down with alcohol to get any residue off before you apply the clear coat.
Hi Rob ,I want to call or if you can just tell me what type of towel/rag did u use to clean with the hood in step one.
I’m so exited I just ordered this product 😊✨
You could probably use a grey scotch pad.
Is this the same as restore fx?
Could you have sprayed some clear coat after you shined up that area?
Yup
Memories of Cars Past! Well Done!!
I just orders from you all today I wanted the wax also but I'm dealing with paying all my own chemo treatment but can't wait to try it out ! I only could afford the paint cleaner can't wait !
Wow Rob, this is amazing. Revolutionary. I doubt many people have the work ethic to do this to the level you did, but great example!
When it comes to my car, I love a fast ( but proper) fix. If I need to spend 15 minutes rubbing my trunk in order to not have to repaint...I'm on it.
Love the vid Rob and love your shirt!
Thank you peter

That's the darndest thing I ever saw! I always wondered if something like that could be fixed without major paint job. I got an old Pinto that I'd like to try that on! Thanks for the video!
Hi Donald you want to know something crazy most people think this is a wax! But it’s not its a dedicated cleaning polish because your cleaning and removing years of built up contaminants what remains is the smooth glossy surface you can do it with a machine or by hand you can clean it in sections over a period of time or getter done all in one shot anybody can do it and save a ton of money
Ain’t that cool ? You can order 24/7 at our website lukatdetail.com or order direct at 505-304-8652 Have a Merry Christmas! 🎄👍🏼😎
@@lukatfixit8298 👍
Pinto ??
@@paulnicholls8683: Yeah, made by Ford. Mine's made in 1975. They quit making them cuz their gas tanks had a bad habit of blowing up if rear ended.
Wow, incredible. My paint is fading on the roof but not flaking, so I guess I can use the sand and then the cleaner with wax. Thanks!
Yes you can!
I'll try it. Even if it does only last 3 months I'd be happy but it looked to me like you took off years of weathering so maybe it will last longer
This will last because it's not temporally masking a problem but rather it's fixing it by simply cleaning the clear or paint job back to a smooth and glossy clean state. Clear coats peel primarily because they get really dirty, You'd be amazed at how beautiful an old oxidized paint job look after it's been cleaned.

I have same Colour problem on my Nissan Altima,, can I use this product,

I used a tungsten bladed scraper for my 22yr old Vauxhall Astra. You would NOT believe how hard the crazed lacquer was. I was shocked. In my case I took the super hard lacquer right off the estate roof and bonnet leaving most of the paint....then wet and dry sanded....then Aerosol repainted and lacquered.....lot of work... Thanks for this....interesting approach and I wish I'd seen your video before......great idea.
NoAxe
Clear lacquers will redissolve when wetted with lacquer thinner.
How about a compare of cost. Labor and materials. This method vs. painting the panel. The latter seems less expensive if professionals are doing both jobs.
Looks like a legit product. It will look even better if you cut then polish after though right?
Hi Shawn
When used correctly on and oxidized clear coat that is not peeling it’ll look 👀 almost if not like new
And it’s a permanent fix
If the clear coat is peeling it will improve the over all look 👀
Can you add clear coat over the top when you’re done?
Hi Jim
If your gonna reclear coat there is no need to use our products there are lots of videos that show how to prep your vehicle for a spray can paint and reclear coat suggest you watch them
Make sure you pay attention as to how to prep the surface for a repaint particularly the sanding and leveling process
Go getter done buddy!
Thanks. My Blue, 2005 Honda Civic has the exact same problem. THIS INFORMATION IS VALUABLE. THANKS AGAIN. I will use your techniques for an inexpensive restoration.
Haha Cant afford both. But if you wanna pass them fwd I can buy what you got left. 😅
I have a blue Honda Civic and it blew my mind how well this worked! Good luck
Why don't you use orbital sander with 400 grit to remove old lacquer?
To me the object is to keep that from happening in the first place. I did an experiment on my 2002 Tacoma years ago and that was to wax it every time I wash it. Not with liquid wax or paste wax but with spray wax. The liquid or paste wax would work but it would take to long so when I have washed my truck and dried it off I apply the spray wax. I have been using Turtle wax Ice spray wax and it only takes 10 or 15 minutes to wax the whole truck. You just spray some on and wipe it right off with a big microfiber towel and just work your way around the truck. The nice thing about the Turtle wax Ice is that if you get some on the trim it wont turn hazy like regular wax. After 17 years my paint job still looks great because the wax protects it from the UV rays of the sun which is what causes paint jobs to deteriorate.
Hi Lee congrats on keeping your paint job in the best possible state by paying attention to it
It is easy to keep your paint job in a beautiful state by simply paying attention to it
As easy as that is most people don’t pay attention to there paint jobs thats why they het bad
Keep in mind if you know anyone who’s inherited a good running vehicle with a problem paint job like an oxidized clear coat or an ancient oxidized patina’d base coat please tell them about our lukat fix it color and gloss restoration kit
This can save them a ton of money and you’d be surprised how well a paint job can look after its been simply cleaned and polished back to a smooth and glossy finish

Keep washing and waxing your paint
I feel you I’m the same way about my paint jobs 👍🏼😎
what happens when you wash your car ...still need paint job..I will use on detailing
Thank you very much for your expertise. You really do know what you're doing. Most don't......As they say, "Good job bro, good job".
I wouldn't say he knows what he is doing. You can't get fisheyes in hardened or dry basecoat or clear coat. I agree with the comment above that recommends scuffing the entire part then reclearing the entire part
Very cool, I have a 30 year old Ac7ra Vigor that has big spots like this. I am going to try this
You are the paint coat Pastor.
You should suggest people use nylon blades. They work well and font dig into the paint.
Just order mine.. waiting to try on my old BMW..
How do it hold up when it’s raining 🤔
Why not stop at the sanding job for the entire panel and clear coat with a 2 X rattle can?
That's So Awesome to know and be told just seeing is believing
Thank you Sandra Dee

YOU MADE THIS LOOK AMAZING, I BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE EDGES OF MY DOORS AND ROOF AND HOOD, WANTED TO PAINT BUT THIS RESTORATION LOOKS EASY AND CHEAP
GRACIAS!!!!
It's a cover up you still see the bad paint under it you hurt the value of the car
Many of us has a car till the paint is like this or worse. It's not a cover up. It's to make better than it was after all we see it every day the ugliness of that kind of paint. This is quick solution without knowledge expertise. At least he took the time to show others his wonder.
Just tried this and it didn’t do as described disappointed
when you have a new vehicle or a used one with no paint issues wax at least once a month and this will never happen.. it's usually in your car's manual how to take care of the vehicles paint as well as interior.. some people are just LAZY and think that washing is good enough. if you live in a very hot climate I would paint protect after every wash...
Many car brands have recalls for lifting soft clearcoat..even if you wax them weekly it still happends...
Greater use of lacquers, or clear coats that are water based for "environmental" issues means more are susceptible to sun damage and especially the acids rain, road dirt & particularly bird poo desolving it leaving marks and thinning the costs down. Washing & waxing regularly helps. Remember when Sundays in the UK used to be the day your dad or granddad would spend it tinkering on the car, washing and polishing it? Two pack lacquers are tougher, but they may react with older finishes and create other problems, but if you have the time and space to do a home repair I hope it works for you!
If only I was more careful with my car. Now I'm stuck with this same issue on the hood of my car it's completely gone of the clear coat, have rock chips that has seriously taken the clear coat and paint on a panel of the car on the passenger side. Luckily even if it's a bit late I'm starting little by little to really make my car as if it was brand new.
All my clear coat on the roof peeled off but the main coat is fine. I may try this and see if it helps it.
Makes me wonder how I'd spot this when buying a used car? Hate to see my car has no clear coat once all that stuff wears off.
Just take a really good look at the paint from different angles, not just from a distance. You'll be able to tell.

That's why you NEVER want to buy a car at night. Under artificial light a car might look great till you see it in natural light the next day.
Happened to me after a year and a half the spit started to fade not much as this car but bad
ricky lee bush cccc. Bheo
I have watched video! after video! And I finally purchased this and used it the same day .....I was about to pay between 400 and 600 just to paint one spot on the hood of my car 🚗 and I used this stuff and it is AH-MAZINNNN!
The compound does its worth but the wax hits out the park! I used the sand paper 1000 and it worked very well, but the wax hits it home.Don't waste your time get this stuff immediately. Asap.
Glad I could help!
Wow amazing good job, gonna do it on my car
Thank you

WOW! There's hope for the pick up after all! Looks amazing!
Love his video. Entertaining and educational.I did mine yesterday but got a little orange peel effect over the larger areas. I will update after the blending.
Is fix it similar to polishing compound?
Thank you for showing people how they should do it yourself repair for people who want to make it look better without painting.... The wack jobs who complain could have just watched another video and not waisted my time with there comments great job
sand it down good few light coats of primer wet fine sand it then apply paint & clear coat wet fine sand it then give a good buff it will look like a show car belongs to hollywood.not wasting time to hand buffing it.i do it better.
I think the paint on my hood is past this point. How will it work on sun oxidation or painted bumper that lost its shine?
My best advice to help advance your company would be to add a sure fire way to get rid of the old ridge line clear coat. So even up close it looks good. Maybe a cutter specifically designed for old clear coat? I don’t know but best of luck to your company!
Looks great however does the results very with color?
Looks good... If it's flaking I think I'll use the cleaner, and then spray clear coat on it.
I have my clear coat on my car coming off. I bought the car but the shops around here ask 5k to have my paint put back in my Honda Civic. There’s heavy sunlight here. What can you recommend?

Good job on a diy quick fix, don't listen to all the unemployed haters.
Lol
This trick was developed for unemoloyed car owners.
@@tyronesimon3742 is right because if you was employed you could afford to get a hood painted or easily do it yourself because I rather have a flat black primer hood instead of that bs😂
Dumb comment. Employed people can afford to get the car painted right if it needed to be done. This is for people that dont have money to do the job right.
So my paint isn't chipping or peeling but it is very very oxidized, maybe early signs of clear coat failure? I can still use this product? My paint looks like that bottom section you have taped off.
CMO
Yup get it cleaned polished now before it begins to peel
This is the right product for that 👍🏼😎
