Simon a far better product to use is Farecla G3 compound, available in a similar sized tube but the finished result will make T cut look like you have used a Brillo pad on it. Unlike normal rubbing compound the abrasive breaks down in use so you effectively are using a finer and finer grade the more you polish it out. Fantastic results
Ok so that worked after about 1.30hrs of hard-work.... I think next time I'll buy one of those polisher bits for my hand drill and save myself the hassle. Cheers for the tip, driver looking top notch now but I'm knackered 👍
Mm tried removing a sky mark same idea t cut never had much success gave up with up it now I see it is possible to remove it good job for over the weekend cheers.
Hi Love the video.... had similar issues with a Cleveland 688 Driver . bag marks and scratches around the hosel. Tried T-Cut which worked for 90% but the tough ones wouldn't lift out. So I use Autosolvol Chrome Polish, only a very small amount as it is more abrasive, so you need to be gentle. Then T-Cut & Maguires Car Polish after. 99% done! Cheers
Paint filled my 9031 proto hybrid with rustoleum oil based enamel. Put paint on light first coat and then heavier second coat. Some wet sanding after each coat to blend and looks like new!
Hi Simon, you've hit a niche market on TH-cam with your content, I've been trying to repair the appearance of clubs for a while now with some success for my own benefit when buying second hand clubs. Here's a tip for everyone, use car polish on your woods and graphite shafts after cleaning once in a while BLING.....
Just stumbled across this. Recently did a fairly tired Burner Rescue club with G3 Pro Scratch Remover liquid compound I had knocking about in cellar. The club looks amazing now, like new, I was gobsmacked.
Funny I only just did this the other day with my clubs. I had polished the car and saw my clubs and thought why not. They weren't to bad but I used Autoglym super resin polish and they look brand new.
@Dean Mitchell yeah prevent any further scratches from stray dirt. It may give a deeper shine. I'd like to see how it would fair up on the club face though.
Looks much better. If you are going to do a lot of these you might want to invest in a bench grinder with a buffing wheel. Or at least a buffer that attaches to a cordless drill.
@@lacabala31 it is possible but involves blasting the clubs to remove the chrome plating and any other wear then re plating the club and cutting the grooves
I used a spray clear coat on a few clubs I didnt care about to see if it would work. A few light coats without buffing or sanding. It worked. ive got loads of drivers and other clubs to do a Frankenstein on so I might do some light sanding and see what happens next.
Simon what would you use to restore a club that is matt black my brand new club had been scratched on the crown taking the matt paint off and showing a gloss under coat my OCD is going off the scale everytime I look at it please help any advice ?
Meguires 105 and 205 and a microfiber cloth, the only problem with using any cutting compounds is how thick the paint is, if you use hand methods then you won't get a good as finish as a machine but machine polishing has the danger of burning through the paint. Another product to use on clubs to get the shiney back is Autoglym Super resin polish, it's more of a glaze than a polish but would work.
I've seen acrylic nail polish used to touch up sky marks Simon. I was going to try refurbishing my irons but not sure if there's a protective coating to stop it rusting that I may remove by using sand paper.
My 2 pen'th 600, then 1000 wet and dry even 400 for bad scratches first then coarse tcut, med tcut fine tcut . can the use the paint tinted versions to get rid of really deep marks, good job by the way !
Have you refurbed any old brass putter heads? I'm using Bar Keepers Friend in my first round of cleaning, works well. $2.95 USD T-Cut = $17.99 for that same small tube.
@@SASGolf careful with drills as it concentrates a lot of heat on one spot, so take it easy. Probably worth checking out forensic detailing channel on how to correct paint correctly, process is he same as a car as you say.
Hi Simon, thanks for 4he vid and looks like a great solution for clubs with a gloss finish. What do you think would work for clubs with a matte like carbon finish like a Taylormade SIM 2 driver?
Would be interesting to see how much a buffing pad on a power drill might help to reduce time without damaging the club. Good to know that products like that can clear up some of those scratches
try a bit of the 1200 wet and dry lightly and then T Cut it, it will save time and effort. Why don't you buy a little pad polisher from ebay, saves alot of polishing by hand. Get yourself a black paint pen and touch up the paint and polish finish it.
Saw you listed the SIM max irons the other day on Facebook, would you recommend the f9 speedback or Callaway rouge for a high handicapper? Also can you do more unboxing videos enjoyed that one.
I figured out putting a strip of electrical tape where the face meets the crown after putting a skymark on both my 3 and 5 wood with consecutive shots on the range 🤦♂️
...nah I was thinking you were gonna say that scratches etc will slow down your swing speed or something like that. That not being the case, it's not something I'll put my effort into. *Doesn't* mean I don't appreciate the video or your efforts. For those that wanna restore clubs nicely, power to you :)
Duuuuude. It’s polishing compound…less talk, more results. You’re clearly not an “expert” so the story is “How’d the non-expert do?” You should admit, 8 minutes is a scandalous love affair with the sound of your own voice.
Never thought the day would come where I'd admit to enjoying watching a video of a man polishing his wood...... Bloody good job Simon!
Haha 😂
LMAO!
Man that was some great info can't wait to see the video when you try the T Cut paint great job

Try rubbing compound first for deep scratches and then move onto T Cut.

Brilliant tip, looking forward to step 2 with the touch up paint

Wahaaay, mine was one of the T Cut suggestions. Glad it worked for you mate and thank you for giving it a go.
Funny I only just did this the other day with my clubs. I had polished the car and saw my clubs and thought why not. They weren't to bad but I used Autoglym super resin polish and they look brand new.
Try a clay bar. You can use them for car detailing.

Thanks for watching Guys! Let me know if this video helped at all and what club refurb methods you want to see next?
nice video! I don't know if It would work on my matte black sky marks...
I'd like to see if there's any chance to repair the face of forged clubs?
@@lacabala31 it is possible but involves blasting the clubs to remove the chrome plating and any other wear then re plating the club and cutting the grooves
I'm off to buy shares in T CUT and Halfords... and look for some old tins of T cut in my garage.. great tip.
Insider trading..... that works
Managed to get a scratch out of driver from an alignment stick. Took a good couple of hours with a microfibre cloth and t cut
I used a spray clear coat on a few clubs I didnt care about to see if it would work. A few light coats without buffing or sanding. It worked. ive got loads of drivers and other clubs to do a Frankenstein on so I might do some light sanding and see what happens next.
Wow I cannot believe you live right by my parents who live in the other block.
Love the videos but I am glad I can say I know where this place is
Simon what would you use to restore a club that is matt black my brand new club had been scratched on the crown taking the matt paint off and showing a gloss under coat my OCD is going off the scale everytime I look at it please help any advice ?
Got some t- cut in the garage and will definitely be trying this. Great idea.
Hi Simon. Polishing machines are relatively cheap and very reasonable on Marketplace. Takes all the manual labour out of it 👍
Best way to get rid of sky marks is to use car touch up sticks then T cut works a treat hopefully your get the same results
Thanks for that mate, will look into that!

Also try a clay bar, would really make that club head smooth.
Good work. Clubs look great after your hard work.
Sound idea and vid. Any ideas on hybrid/driver club face restoration?
The difference is quite extraordinary good job mate 👍.
Thanks mate! I was quite impressed to be fair!
Yep......your in the same zone as polishing out scratches on a guitar. At the end a wipe with a cloth and very very little 3in1 oil looks great.
Could you do a video to show how I can get my oven clean?
I've seen acrylic nail polish used to touch up sky marks Simon. I was going to try refurbishing my irons but not sure if there's a protective coating to stop it rusting that I may remove by using sand paper.
Absolutely amazing just cleaned my cobra 3 wood 2 hybrid's and my R1 driver even put a blob of autoglym # shiny clubs
Maguires ultimate compound will work brilliant too.
My 2 pen'th 600, then 1000 wet and dry even 400 for bad scratches first then coarse tcut, med tcut fine tcut . can the use the paint tinted versions to get rid of really deep marks, good job by the way !

Been waiting all all day for these
Try 3000 grit wet and dry and then t cut/ polish as it's a lot quicker and u will get a better finish.
Enamel paint for infilling the chips
Didn’t think of t cut but it definitely works
I just use black boot polish, it's cheap and it works on minor scratches, sky marks?......No! ⛳🏌️♂️👍 love the vids
Is there anyway to clean up a driver face? I had a range ball that had some sand on it and scratched up my driver face. Any ideas?
can you separate the head from the shaft to apply even more elbow grease?
Interesting vid. Any thoughts for how I could do this for an M2 with sky marks on the white paint?
You can get buffing pads that fit on a drill. That could work really well.
Yeah think I need to invest in some machinery soon, save the elbows 😅
SAS Golf have a look a car detailing stuff. eBay have some good stuff at very reasonable prices
@@SASGolf careful with drills as it concentrates a lot of heat on one spot, so take it easy. Probably worth checking out forensic detailing channel on how to correct paint correctly, process is he same as a car as you say.
Hi Simon, thanks for 4he vid and looks like a great solution for clubs with a gloss finish. What do you think would work for clubs with a matte like carbon finish like a Taylormade SIM 2 driver?

Hi simon would love to see a vid on how you extend and regrip irons. Just bought a standard set and need to add 1/2 a inch on each. Thanks 👍
These are the videos we want, amazing tips Simon. Keep up the hard work
Try nail varnish to infill easy to smooth out with T cut
Crazy, just noticed a bit a mini gash on my driver. Have to look for something similar in States
I'm curious to see if you put the compound on a buffing dremmel tool
Wow what a difference!!!
Can you remove the plastic shaft adaptors off old drivers to use the shaft in a new driver of a different brand?
how difficult would it be for me to put the shafts from my old iron set into my new one? any tips? thanks
thought the tcut would work. looking good
I've had good success with scratch doctor which is basically the NA equivalent.
I like this restoration on used clubs, I hate SCRATCHES on clubs
Would it work on white drivers/woods too?
I am 3 years late but 3 M auto rubbing compound is the best thing I ever used.
I wonder if an electric polishing machine would take out some of the effort or if it would be too much.
works with matte vs glossy?
Flash magic eraser works great too
Looks great....would be interesting to see what could be done with faces too 🧐
Hi Simon, great vid, nice results. You'll do better with some sort of buffing pad on drill. What value do you think it will add to those 2 clubs ?
You really need to invest in a Dremel, will take the refurb to another level
I used this on my driver the other day and now I got a ton of hair line scratches do this happen to you as well?
Will it clean up the face of the club some?
There are paints that have fine nibs made for golf clubs on ebay and amazon. Just punch in golf club paint
Saw you listed the SIM max irons the other day on Facebook, would you recommend the f9 speedback or Callaway rouge for a high handicapper? Also can you do more unboxing videos enjoyed that one.
What's happening with the long drive, old bean?
Try a drill with a polish attachment it will make it much faster
Can you tcut the face of clubs, as well, or does the polished face become problematic with performance?
my thought as well. If I start messing with the club face, do I impact the club hitting ball results?
Probably use a dremel type tool to buff them out
Do you know of a similar product for the U.S. ?
What about a black sharpie where the paint is missing its not perfect but better than nothing
If the shaft comes off that would help control it as well
You should check out plain old toothpaste, it's already in your house hopefully!
anybody tried this with a taylormade? I've got a M4 with the silver top bit, not sure ifit'll work
Great video
I get why you want to be on a golf course, 🌳
A drill or Dremel with a polish wheel will take most of effort out of cleaning up clubs
What about matte drivers eg Ping G400 etc
This
I figured out putting a strip of electrical tape where the face meets the crown after putting a skymark on both my 3 and 5 wood with consecutive shots on the range 🤦♂️
Need to do it before. I used to slice so would know this issue.
Please do the ping eye 2s
Be careful it makes swirls I do it to clean up sky marks it help but be careful on matilic ...
Does this mean that T Cut price will increase after this video?
Good job
Thanks mate. 🙌
Possibly easier with the shaft removed 🤷♂️
Dude it's easy. Just sandblast and Cerakote. Then done. No questions to be asked.
Love the videos and long time watcher. Can you please try to stop saying ‘obviously’ all the time though...😉
The 2 dislikes must be professional club refurbishers😁
Low key how do you even sell clubs to people. I post a $300 wood online and people be offering like 30 bucks
Well done but nowhere near. Buff wheel and proper restauring for a start.
Will send you some footage how i do it.
Gotta be a wedge
Never thought about using T Cut on my woods . . . but then again not as needed nowadays (famous last wordz)
You say obvisouly soooooo many times haha
Will it improve my shots?
If not... I've got better things to do.
So why click on the video?
...nah I was thinking you were gonna say that scratches etc will slow down your swing speed or something like that.
