@@cvrpov HOW LONG SHIOULD YOU RECOMMEND I GURANTEE THE PAINT REPAIR?? 6 MONTHS OR 1 YEAR OR NO GURANTEE ?? AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CURE THE OAINT WITH A HEAT GUN ? CHEERS MATE
Ordered my paint ..buffing pad .. sandpaper etc from your channel. Quite a few light scratches on my silver astra but my expectations ain't too high as you always say in your videos even more so now yo say silver cars can be tricky. I'll give it a go and get back with my results. Cheers
Great video mate, it’s really helpful for people to be able to improve the little cosmetic blemishes for little money. I can’t believe you get Negative comments!!! What are people ON ? , it’s good of you to share your expertise for absolutely nothing. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers Vince.
Awesome job mate. Just as important as the money is someone's excitement and happiness. I'm sure that must have been very rewarding. Thanks for recording it.
Just found your videos yesterday. Watching from austria. I love the realistic view, opinion and results. There is no cheating. And it is all about invest of time and money and output. Thanks for your videos!
Putting the paint with a finger worked like a charm for me. I bought an ex-company fleet car and it was badly chipped, but fixed all it after watching your videos. But it took around a week to do all of it, and it wasn't easy, but definitely worth it. Thanks mate.
Another awesome job. I have plenty experience detailing cars and finding your channel helped me improve my service. Rub ‘n’ buff on road rash worked a treat. Brilliant mate keep it up.
Having previously worked for 19 years,as a valeter/detailer for ford garage,i would agree there is a gap in the market for mobile buffing and glazers, the figure quoted was a p*** take PS you have just shown how easy the job is, if you remember that friction causes heat and heat is the enemy 💪
I think the figure quoted should be relative to the overall outcome of the job. I could have been there all night if I a) didn't have the skills b) 20 years experience c) the damage was worse than expected d) I f'ed up a panel. I could have charged the client 80 quid, 2 hours graft at £40.00, which is my minimum flat rate an hour. That would of been fair. This is probably why many small businesses are going out of business, unfortunately. Poor pricing and mentality.
Great job. The one question I have is how are you doing a heavy compound and not getting holograms? After what you did, a polishing is usualy needed, idealy with a DA Polisher.
Great video. I know what you mean about it not being detailing level of polishing but you really should not get hate for that - maximum results, minimum time and a happy customer - that's its own kind of perfection!
Wet the area/s maybe to try and see if they are through the clearcoat. If they disappear then most likely just within clearcoat. Maybe add a ceramic over the repair for more protection
Great work man, ive done plenty of these types of single stage polishes for trade customers, no washing just a wipe down with some fairy liquid, a panel wipe to get some tar off and buff hard on the heavy scratched areas and a quick wip over the rest and clean down with a wet rag with some trade wax on it and touch up, they send it for a wash and it looks like a different car, i call it a 60 minute lash up 👍
@@cvrpov Hi mate i have watching your videos and im trying to become a smart repair tech like you. do you know where i can get a mini paint scheme that will allow me to paint any car ? and as a trainee smart tech repairer how should i advertise to get customers?? cheers mate
I completely agree with you, you are doing a great job, the car looks much much better, the customer is happy you are happy with the outcome and money in your pocket so where is the problem? I got the kit from you just haven't had time to work on my car, I just wish there would be no tax on the goods coming from the UK it makes the purchase much less desirable but I will use your knowledge kindly left by you here on TH-cam. Thank you and god bless
Hi mate, loving the content. Would love to see a video showing when you show different varying degrees of damage when you opt for appling touch up paing vs lacquer vs only polish?
Love the video. I enjoy doing this type of work for family and friends cars. I totally agree with you there is a market for this type of work. How long do you leave the touch up paint on before using the cutting compound? Thanks for informative videos.
Got to say for 2 hours that's a fantastic job man. I need to do our Sportage as that's got loads of scuffs and also road rash down the sides towards the rear
Great vid again, 2 questions: 1: did you wash the car before polishing? 2: would you now choose the clear coat only touch up on some of these scratches instead of wet sanding? Planning to start my business / service like you say, but still practising a bit. Biggest downside for me: the weather, so still not sure if to go mobile or in a location so Im not so weather dependant, but some people like the service of getting it done at their driveway like this video...
No I didn't wash the car. Bodgy, I know, but also, doesn't really matter in this kind of job or trade work. With more time I would of maybe use the clearcoat method on a few, but it's swings and roundabouts sometimes. I did mobile spraying and this kind of work for 5 years on the road. Make sure you get a good gazebo and it's do-able all year round with very low overheads.
I'm in the motor trade and have been for 40 years I've done this type of repair on thousands of cars it works and if it doesn't you have only lost a small amount of your time
Another great video. Thanks! I like it how you can do fixes on a budget. Waiting for warmer weather to fix a huge scratch on the side of my black car. Would it also be possible to do it with a paint such as nail polish? And if you use a drill, would it be in a high setting or a low setting? How much pressure do you have to apply?
I can never get the results you do. Obviously I’m not a professional. But I think it might be I’m using spray paint sprayed into the cap and painting it on 😮
Great work man, I have used your method and works a treat. One question I over buffed a wheel arch and think I went too hard and its "burnt" not sure on the terminology. Totally my fault but Is there anything I can do to touch it in? Cheers.
Hi, great video, thanks. Witch compound grane did you use?. I want to do something simple with my car and this is great help but I want to use the right grane.
Whoever quoted £2000 to paint the side of a Fiesta that has no damage to repair is a charlatan and a grifter, I’m in the game and that is a £750 job max!! Ford Panther black goes edge to edge no problem, 3 panels and at worst a machine polish for another £60.
Hi I berly start following your chanel good job . I been thinking to get in automotive touchup I saw Dr colors touchup for commercial use us it worth a touchup kit from that company any reccomendation on which touchup system to start a business.
This is real ‘paint correction’ Just imagine how much better it would have looked, if you had applied 3 or 4 small amounts of compound directly to the pads. 😂😂.
When you use the finger method to apply paint, what kind of paint are you using? Does it have clearcoat in it and also how long do you let it dry before you put compound and buff it out?
I've tried your methods on 2 cars so far and it works a treat. The finger painting is such a cool trick. Thanks for sharing 👍
Saved my bacon a few times too that method 👍
That's what it's all about, thanks for taking time to comment
I completely agree with you mate. Massive gap in the market for cheap and fast paintwork repairs. Good effort 👏🏻
Yep, I defo think so

Fantastic job. Best car paint repair and detailing channel on the internet.
Agree
Awesome job mate. Just as important as the money is someone's excitement and happiness. I'm sure that must have been very rewarding. Thanks for recording it.
Yeah they sold the car the same day. They've used me since this job and recommended me to others
Just found your videos yesterday. Watching from austria. I love the realistic view, opinion and results. There is no cheating. And it is all about invest of time and money and output. Thanks for your videos!

Glad to hear you have found value here mate..plenty planned for the future
Another awesome job. I have plenty experience detailing cars and finding your channel helped me improve my service. Rub ‘n’ buff on road rash worked a treat. Brilliant mate keep it up.
@raymondlyle663 How much time between the rub of the paint and the buffin?
@ depends on the temperature. Usually no more than ten minutes. It dries pretty quickly and really does work well or has done when I’ve used it 👍🏻
This works like a treat, I’m glad I watched your video. Keep up the good work!
Really like this film. Too many people want to stripe customers up. You both did really well out of this. Thanks for a great vid as always. ❤

Immediately hit it with a soft pad and a bit of finishing polish
Awesome job mate ignore the haters
Great video. I know what you mean about it not being detailing level of polishing but you really should not get hate for that - maximum results, minimum time and a happy customer - that's its own kind of perfection!
Different type of work imo. Cheers

I’m yet to try the rub and buff method but you make it look so easy (I know you have the experience)

Yes a few mins.

You should wash the car before polishing unless you want your pads to be destroyed.
Great video as per usual 👍
When you apply the paint with the rub and buff method, how long are you letting it cure for before polishing?
A few minutes. On a warm day like this was, about 2 or 3 minutes is enough
@@cvrpovis it a specific type of paint ?
Solvent based. I use www.paintgear.co.uk
Great to watch good job
Thanks for watching
Cracking video, well done !!
Hello sir,can you make tutorial how to fix burnt trough clear coat?,thank you
Usually needs a respray at this point
If the scratches have only damaged the clearcoat then why don’t you use clearcoat instead of base coat to finger paint over the scratches ?
Great job!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Could do with doing this to my fiesta. Cracking job
I try and put out as much content as possible so people can do it themselves. Thanks for watching
@@cvrpov Also how do you have to adapt when working in the freezing weather ?
Great stuff
Cheers
@@cvrpov,what is the black paint your using?
I'm in the motor trade and have been for 40 years I've done this type of repair on thousands of cars it works and if it doesn't you have only lost a small amount of your time

I'm taking notes, as always
We all want to do better mate, just some do something about it 👍🏼 nice one
@@cvrpov,I dable in this ,hoping to go more into it, this is great, good job,this inspires me from USA.🎉
HOW LONG WE SHOULD WAIT FOR THE PAINT DRY? SO THT WE CAN DO COMPOUNDING? THANK YOU
On warm days only a few minutes
@cvrpov i know it depend the situation, on the weather, minimum 5 minute? Thank you
Nice one. Looks great, and anything that saves money is a great help.... Fuck the haters. Most will be detaliers..
Can i ask why you swop from a drill and a polisher?
Polisher is ultimately better. You should use what you have. As you can see, a cordless drill is sufice

Hi man, do You use hardener with paint when applying with finger? Ty
Just neat base
Great stuff, just checking if the rotary is good enough for each scenario or is the DA a better tool to use for each ?
Which pen do you use to mark scratches
It was from a local motor factors.. I bet amazon do one
I can never get the results you do. Obviously I’m not a professional. But I think it might be I’m using spray paint sprayed into the cap and painting it on 😮
Yeah that won't work. It's too thin

Quick question once the paint has been applied do we need to wait or just after polish it?
It was a warm day, I was only leaving it 2 or 3 mins.
@@cvrpov cool ! Thanks for the quick response.
No probs

Maybe with your lackluster prep
@ it’s black, obviously you know nothing of automotive refinishing or you’d have kept that comment to yourself 🤣🙄
It was for all the paintwork to be done, the whole vehicle was battered
Shots fired 😳 👀
I always liked black paint jobs
superb work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Rub N Buff how long leave paint dry before G360 or similar. Thanks. Also.... Are you using just touch up 30ml paint pots or ....
How long drying time for the rub/buff method? (in winter for instance)
Nice 👍
Don't you let the paint dry?
Hi. Where are you based on? My car got key scratches and thinking to get your service
I don't trade anymore sorry
How long do you leave the paint to dry before you can start to buff off?
Is 8 degrees outside to cold for the rub and buff method
Great video
Do you let the rub inn touch up dry before polishing ??
How long do you wait on the rub to dry before buffing?
Brilliant 👍
Are you from the east midlands? Fantastic job btw
EXCELLENT.
I never see you wash these cars before you start?

Ain't no time for snowflake behaviour like that mate 🤣🤙🏼
Do you have Facebook page for bookings. Are you based anywhere near Buckinghamshire
Hi, I think you are doing a great job teaching people how to repair their body car while it is definitely very expensive.
Thank you
👏
Couple of washes and that will go back to the way it was haha poor buyer
if that’s bad u should see my car 😂😂
£400 for a flat polish , could the side sprayed for £400 !
Do you have a Facebook page id like to get my ford galaxy' booked in with you mate 👍
I don't trade anymore mate sorry
