Looks a lot better, however if you’ve just filled in the scratches, they will be back after a couple washes. A cheap dual action polisher from harbor freight is where I started and it did a great job. You will be able to remove the scratches for good!
For sure! Like I mention in the video, make sure you don't do it in the sunlight, this polish, and many other waxes won't harden up and they will just smear when you try to buff it out. When the paint temp is between 50-65f this product works best
Great Video. Explained quite well. I have scratches on my black GMC SUV and will follow your instructions to get rid of them. As a former radio broadcaster, your presentation was well done. Take care. B Hillier Ontario, Canada
Yep! As long as the scratches don't go down into the base coat, spraying some clear on it should fix it! To test it out you can spray water on it first and see what it will look like
I have a light color car so I used a canned ham. It kinda got cooked out in the hot sun so I moved it inside and rubbed the ham on it again. Now it looks and tastes great! Like and subscribe!
You can wash your car after! It held up on my car for over a year! I picked up another crv recently and restored the paint very in depth. You can see that here th-cam.com/video/zx8_GOCMwTs/w-d-xo.html
Yep, just make sure your paint is clean, apply the polish with a damp microfiber towel, and buff off with a clean dry microfiber towel. Make sure you do it on a cool day, otherwise the polish will get all greasy, I made that mistake the first time around
Not being funny, not knocking your effort, but you will never get rid of scratches with just Polish, all your doing with colour magic is filling in the scratches, after you wash the car they will be back again, you need 2000 to 3000 grit then a good cutting agent then a good polish job done.
We know, but it does actually hold up after multiple car washes, due to the wax in the polish. There is nothing that will give you beautiful results of cutting and buffing, which I plan on getting done on my civic come spring!
It requires a paint correction, you would need to use a buffer wheel/polisher to even out the clear coat again and smooth out all the clear coat scratches!
Prey dang good! There has been a lot of snow and ice here in minnesota lately, but every time I get a car wash I come out with fresh looking paint again, still don't all those scratches that were around the handle, very impressed!
Tbh I didn't think it would come out as good as it did. You've inspired me to give it a go on my car this weekend. I love my black car but it really shows EVERY little scratch and scuff on a sunny day haha. Keep up the great work 👍
@@Mark583 no problem, I did the same thing on my buddy's truck and it worked awesome too. Like I say in the video, just make sure it's not out in the direct sunlight where the paint will get too hot for the product to fully harden. If it's too hot it gets kinda greasy looking
@@kraftingkars thanks for your quick reply I actually caused marring and swirls all over yesterday I cleaned my car With “dry microfibre cloth” :( now they are all over and very visible from different angles Would it work to repair or cover / hide these marks ??
This is not the end all solution, it just helps it look nicer. Getting your clear coat buffed and polished should remove pretty much all your light clear coat scratches
World number one ding dong you're using the wrong microfiber towels you need to go to the rag company and buy the five-dollar softer better ones instead of the Costco microfiber towels.

Thanks! I did used a da polisher on my new CR-V, that had even worse paint, check it out here. th-cam.com/video/zx8_GOCMwTs/w-d-xo.html
I need to do this on my black car. This looks amazing!

@@kraftingkars ok cool, thanks again!
Surface too hot,We can see it evaporating,Good effort.
Truuue gets very greasy in the sun, learned that lesson.
This method does not remove scratches, just fills with dark wax. Months later the scratches are back
Yep, that's basically it. It does last a long time though, over a year later and multiple car washes it stays looking great!
We all like an honest reply, good on you
@@davidrankine4662 I'm actually picking up another black crv soon, and plan on using an orbital polisher on that, I'll make a video on the process!
I feel like it’s is great for older paint that has thin clear coat and won’t risk damaging the clear with a buffer
Did a good job hiding those scratches.
@@ibj3 Hiding that’s all,There still there just filled with black pigment,Couple of heavy showers or washes they’ll be back

Thanks!!!
looks amazing......great job
Gee I didn’t know you just picked up that Honda. Thanks for telling me.
Thank you
Had used this product before.. does the job awesome
What if I have a dark Kona Blue car and scratches on the very delicate plastic bumper? Can I spray with a clear coat to get rid of the scratches ?
Yep! As long as the scratches don't go down into the base coat, spraying some clear on it should fix it! To test it out you can spray water on it first and see what it will look like
Thank you😊
Wow this was really amazing thanks for this 🙏🏻
No prob
Great easy job dude!! Thanks!
No prob!
Excellent work kiddo,I have to fix my new paint job, I polished it and I focked it all up, I'm gonna use that product.

Nice life hack!
Dark car gang😎
It really is a lifestyle
Thanks for the great tip! What a difference!
So how long should I let sit before I can wash my car ? And will this come off with a wash? If so do I just reply it?

I came here looking for a solution for my black honda crv scratches 😁 But I'm not sure what was the second step, did he just repeat the first coat?
Yep, just make sure your paint is clean, apply the polish with a damp microfiber towel, and buff off with a clean dry microfiber towel. Make sure you do it on a cool day, otherwise the polish will get all greasy, I made that mistake the first time around
@@kraftingkars Thank you so much for your reponse! This is very helpful🙏🏻

I’ve spent loads on t-cut colour restorer and colour enhancers,Absolute rubbish,It’s just coloured polish that does nothing
Would it work on my grey Ford if I use polish?
It will, just don't use the polish with pigment in it like I did
Not supposed to do it in direct sunlight
does it eliminate water marks?
Just a nice wash and wax should eliminate water marks
What can I use on dark grey car?
A typical wax and buff should cover the really light scratches. Otherwise you would wanna step up to am electric orbital polisher!
How can I do this on a different colour car
It requires a paint correction, you would need to use a buffer wheel/polisher to even out the clear coat again and smooth out all the clear coat scratches!
Great result. How long does it last ?

There's no danger of that here in England, the sun is shy to say the least 🤣 Thanks man. 👍🏻
Polishing and waxing on sunlight!?
It's best to do this on a cool cloudy day if you have a black vehicle that gets hot in the sun
you look like young john wick
I'll take it, watch a more recent vid
Does this work on white cars
Just a standard polish and wax works well on white cars! Thats the best part about owning a white car is they don't really show clear coat scratches!
Why the damp microfiber?
Spreads a little better I guess
@@kraftingkars that’s a clever idea thanks
Want to make a video on a mk6 gti clutch swap? You can even use my car if you want.
I'm always down to help! Not too familiar working with VW's though. Those German cars smell like sausage.
Hw much
Around 25$ per bottle of polish
Are you 100% positive that you achieved this result on applying turtle wax jet black polish..?? Nothing else?
100%
Obviously clean your car first or you will just add more scratches. But yep! This stuff works really well on black cars!
@@kraftingkars thanks for your quick reply

I just want a motor like that sitting in my garage....hahaha
It's a lifestyle that's for sure😂
captain hook own that cars or what?
I have no idea man, maybe someone with long nails
@@kraftingkars edward scissorhands yes

me next boi
Don't care scratches coming back after few months,

Still i can see some scratches on your treated door!

Thanks for your reply!
i wanna drop a like but its at 69 lmao... nice
Respect brother! 69! nice......
Not impressed. Show me the "after" scratches in DIRECT SUNLIGHT. That's the true test.
Looks much better! And still looks good to this day!
You can see the buffer on the ground in the reflection what a liar 🤭🤫
That's a DA orbital sander, so close😂 was using that for another project
