The best car detailer I’ve ever seen actually touched up the scratches with touch up paint and then buffed. Looked perfect after he was done every time.
Black paint problem, here we go. I'm owing a black car myself, and it's my first and surely last black car ever. It's shiny and beautiful after a wash when I put it in a garage. Scuffs and scratches are of course mandatory but not welcome. I think that most resistant to those problems are silver metallic, or metallic gray.
What happens to the gloss finish on the area you rub down? Do you apply a clear coat once you're finished? I have a black 4Runner with a number of "welcome home" scratches under the driver's window from my idiot dogs!
I bought an used Honda CRV Black car. And it did a decent job at diminishing scracthes. It eliminates some minor ones and hand door swirls or hood swirls are definatelu gone. This + Wax 3in 1 +nxt sealant and booster + Crystal clear shampoo and you have got a new car
WOW I used it on my truck and I’m so happy with the results you can kinda see some scratches but no where near as bad as it was worked with ease with a harbor freight buffing wheel
I tried this yesterday on a 2020 BMW 3-series. The scratches were not deep but man I really had to apply a lot of pressure trying both a microfiber towel and an applicator pad. I was sweating as crazy. I'd recommend using an electric tool for this if there are a lot of scratches, or just doing the whole car. But the product seems to work, it's mostly about the skill (and strength) by the applicant :)
The one problem they don't tell you about when you get your car ceramic coated is how difficult it is to polish out light scratches as the coating is so hard and resistant but this seemed to work quite well, would you recommend re-coating the area afterwards?
It just comes back after the next car wash, or within a week or so. All it does is fill the gaps with like a wax that distorts the light and makes it look like the scratch isn't there. It doesn't do shit. This is only for when you're trying to sell your car and wanting to rip the person off. Save yourself some money and don't be a shithead and just buy a buffing pad adapter for a hand drill and get some good cutting material for polishing I recommend g360.
I saw in another video that you can test if it is a clear coat scratch by spraying it with soapy water first. If it disappears when wet it is a clear coat scratch and can me fixed.
@President Z absolute rubbish so what is the white line it's a scratch, if it covers the white line, it's a scratch remover. Didn't say anything about filling in the scratch.
I’m a lifetime customer for black paint. Perfect mix of class and aggression. I also live on a long gravel driveway so a weekly quick wash is always needed, but man I’d still chose it over white (or blue🤢)
The only way to get “ rid of” of the scratch is to use several different “ stages “ of sandpaper with a lubricant like detail spray or water with a couple drops of wash and wax car soap in a spray bottle. Start with 600 grit wet sand paper and plenty of spray with very light pressure. Clean it up and use a sheet of 1000 or 1500 grit with the same technique. Move up to a sheet of 2500 or 3000. The scratch should be gone or “ invisible “ by now but you will have a “ cloudy “ paint finish. Now you need to compound and or polish the area. The scratch should be “ gone” but that’s only if you started with a clear coat only scratch. A down to primer or bare metal scratch will need a more complex procedure. If your car is a daily driver, I just want it to look good but I’m not entering in a car show, then you’re done but a whole vehicle claybar, polish and wax or ceramic won’t hurt.
Bro med-fine grit wet sand, compound with firm cutting pads on a drill attachment, polish with fine or finishing pad. Sealant. Done. couple extra bucks but it pays for itself.
Where are you parked?! In a underground basement?! Love that garage! Also, you’re very right, watching this to see how it would do, as my ford, is also scratched I think the breeze or the wind scratched it!! Hahah. Nah my tissue blew out the window and left a giant scuff!
@@shonese5883 the kit comes with the pad, but you can always buy buffing pads at harbor freight for like $3,99. Please note I only had service scratches from idiots parking too close & swing open their doors...and a drill with a cord is much faster & convenient, the cordless one, my battery kept dying
Brah the scratches were too deep. Took the clear coat off so it's got a indentation in the paint. It work for the surrounding scratch Mark's though. Hopefully you do another video in the future for deeper scratches that leaves the paint but takes off the entire clear coat
you cant remove scratches if the paint is gone . If the scratch is the clear coat then yes you can wet sand with 3K or5K grit till the scratch is gone then use scratch X it should be good.
Is it safe to use on the whole car 😂 I’m literally sick of black cars and I’d rather not spend 400+ just to have it detailed no crazy deep scratches just light scratches and usual swirls
dude the rubbing needs to be done in circular motion not back and forth. and the kit includes the applicator pad which fits in drilling machine.. that way you might have removed this scratch in better way
@@CanadianCruisin That will only happen with something much more abrasive like dust particles. This has next to no abrasion, especially by hand. If it did, you would have gotten the same micro scratches as swirls , just not in a circular pattern, they would be straight.. and since this isn’t very abrasive, it could take 4-5 attempts before it works. That scratch appears deep to me, if you run your fingernail over it and it catches then it’s too deep for chemical correction and calls for a paint touch up. Just my opinion. It has no fillers btw.

We do that when the scratch is too deep to fix with paint correction.

Black is a huge pain lol. Next time I'll get white and just wrap it every few years 😂
I love my black mustang, and about half the vehicles I've had have been black, but I think this will be the last one.
Not true. My Acura TLX is graphite metallic grey and it has terrible luck with scratches

When you're rubbing that it sounds like sandpaper
Black looks great but definitely a lot of work to keep it looking good.
Still not sure it's worth it 2 years in 😂

I like your video and you did a great honest review but I didn't really see any difference for when started
Actually just picked this up last week for my 19GT. I used a polisher to remove the scratch. Did multiple passes. Agree would it give it 8 out of 10.
Yeah I was impressed. Not perfect but improves it for sure
What do I do if it leaves a bit of a haze around the area? Can I use compound to fix that?
Have you enytime doing clay it your car after wash , the sound i heard when you dray off the detailing spray ,remains me off not clean paint
But the scratch is still there so it doesn’t do what it says
I dont think youre fun at partys....
Your right bud, the whole idea is it's a scratch remover and doesn't do its job. The scratch is still there.
@President Z absolute rubbish so what is the white line it's a scratch, if it covers the white line, it's a scratch remover. Didn't say anything about filling in the scratch.

Are u fun at parties?

Blacks a pain but will always be the best looking color for sure
Id take pearl white over black anyday
Blue looks wicked!! Especially the f150 blue you see going around these days. This coming from a black f150 owner haha
Thanks for the review and demo. I have several similar scratches on my Ruby Red, so I'll give it a shot.
It's not perfect but definitely helps from standing out. Thanks for watching.

“black car problems”
I need to wash my black car almost everyday 😭
It never ends haha
Will it remove ceramic coating?
Love this stuff!! Used to use it on my red maro all the time!
Does it work on the wrap haha
@@CanadianCruisin lmaooo I mean I doubt that 😂😂
@@amritdosanjh6899 haha. Reapers problem if it happens 😂
Does it work on a white paint too,or only darks one? Thank you in advance
I havent tried it on anything other than my black car so not sure
Can i used this meguirs x20 in any color like sonic gray? Cos my car has a big scratch
As long as its not through the clear coat I'm sure it would work
What about using touch up paint?
Is this bad to get on your skin? I spilt some on my hand earlier
I've never worn gloves for anything car related and I'm still alive with all my limbs so you should be good to go lol
@@CanadianCruisin thanks lol, I'm just a bit paranoid when I read warning labels
Where are you parked?! In a underground basement?! Love that garage! Also, you’re very right, watching this to see how it would do, as my ford, is also scratched I think the breeze or the wind scratched it!! Hahah. Nah my tissue blew out the window and left a giant scuff!
That's my garage. House is built on a hill so bottom level goes into nothing and second level you walk into the backyard
Doesnt that cause swirl marks?
would this work with a keyed car that has made it through the coating?
It would help a little but a key would leave a pretty heavy scratch so you would still see it
I bought the kit & put the pad onto my drill gun & it worked like a charm
What kind of pad for drill gun?
@@shonese5883 the kit comes with the pad, but you can always buy buffing pads at harbor freight for like $3,99. Please note I only had service scratches from idiots parking too close & swing open their doors...and a drill with a cord is much faster & convenient, the cordless one, my battery kept dying
Thank you!
Can you use whitening toothpaste as an alternative?
Have you ever tried it. I was thinking about trying on a tiny sand spec dot scratch on my new car? Ugh. Or should the stuff this guy is using.
Thank you I will try it on my mother car😂
Does it work on a red car for the back of side mirror ? Just on the backside tip of the side mirror ?
As long as you can get a good angle to rub it on it should work fine
Thank you so much, I’ll definitely try that out and see. I was freaking out so bad since it was a new car. I hope that the scratch goes away !
@@anirudhr5345 it might not fix it completely but does a great job of hiding it
Even if it’s just a light scratch ?
@@anirudhr5345 light scratches should work great then
Great video and information you got a new subscriber :)
Thank you
I used to use that products ago. And that's I don't know what I'm doing it never works for me.
It seemed to work ok for me. It doesn't eliminate the scratch completely but hides it well at least.
They have all good products
The Ultimate compound polishes out bird shit burns just fine
I'll give it shot if it ever happens
How about trying a permanent black fine tipped marker to paint the black paint scratch? 🤪🤣
This is very informative and very detailed and designed towards a specific viewer. Great content.
is this long term? how is it holding up?
Not sure how long it will last but so far it looks the same
Brah the scratches were too deep. Took the clear coat off so it's got a indentation in the paint. It work for the surrounding scratch Mark's though. Hopefully you do another video in the future for deeper scratches that leaves the paint but takes off the entire clear coat
Is that work on ceramic coated car ?
It should yes
Use touch up paint and then use the stuff
Want to try this out on my truck
For the price I was really impressed
Is this for permanent solution?
The results you get should be permanent
I've used the same product as well, but the scratch is still there, just not as bright.
Hello, can this be used on shiny plastic door pillars?
Nice vid man !
Thank you 💪
I notice every little dig and scratch, i got that and it not what it seems.If it is a fine small scratch ok, but deeper or long it sucks
I use menzerna first and then at least commandant 5 fine polish.
This video could be 14 seconds long
Then go and watch that one👍👍
@@CanadianCruisin what?? Bruh
foh dipshit. Dude's taking his time to help you out. If you've got the attention span of lice, go find another fucking video.
I want to remove it permanently ; not have to put back on every week
6:33 he starts
Video starts at 7:00 in.
Video actually starts when you push play. 7 minutes is if you want to skip to applying the product 👍
you cant remove scratches if the paint is gone . If the scratch is the clear coat then yes you can wet sand with 3K or5K grit till the scratch is gone then use scratch X it should be good.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Is it safe to use on the whole car 😂 I’m literally sick of black cars and I’d rather not spend 400+ just to have it detailed no crazy deep scratches just light scratches and usual swirls
I don't think it will do much for swirls but seems to hide the scratches pretty well
get a griots garage orbital g8 and g9 combo
I used it
Does not work as i wanted , the scratch still exist
About half way in and I’d rather wet sand my scratches for a better result
I'm afraid I'd be painting the whole roof after that attempt 😅
You look a lot like rock star Chris d burgh
Have another rub or two and it should go away. Paint comes in several layers and you won't make it worse.
Read the box homeboy, rub in ALL directions, finishing with a circular polishing motion
It doesn't come in a box. Check again
Got the same stuff, doesn't work
Can.t hear you
Great tips thanks!
Thanks for watching
Is this safe in ceramic coated car?
Mine is ceramic coated and it worked fine
It is polish and polish removes all sealents,waxes, and coatings. It HAS to, in order to get down and correct the clear coat!
I probably should of bought a white car.. black cars look great in the rain... 😮
The problem is people likes short videos now.
I should make a scratch remover and it not work. It doesn't work
dude the rubbing needs to be done in circular motion not back and forth. and the kit includes the applicator pad which fits in drilling machine.. that way you might have removed this scratch in better way
You never want to rub in a circular motion by hand. You will get swirls 99% of the time.

This is great stuff but it won't fix a key scratch
No a key would be way to deep for this to do much.
still there. You need an electric rotary buffer.
When you take it to a car wash the scratch will come back not a good product
3 out of 10 .
Cool
He say I'll be honest lol . Results are trash and he say it's hard to see, and it's still the same. Hope they pay you good at least.
There is no difference. Just get it buffed out
Scratch is still there looks the same didn't work
Is like make up for Di car can't sleep with it
It doesn't work. Tried it
had a panel and paint shop do mine....had 2 scratches, 50$ was done and completely gone
That's not bad at all. I might go that route for a couple rock chips I have
Sorry but it doesn’t look any different, once the car is dirty again it’ll stand out more.
Just sanded 1500 then 2000 then compound polish , wax simple
Looks like it doesn't work.
He did it wrong from the beginning …. :/
It takes over 7 mins to get to the scratch come on dude learn to edit.
Good video but takes too long to get to the interesting part.
Video on how to try to remove a scratch and fail at it.
This doesn’t work fellas it will remove the paint that scratched off the other car or whatever hit from your surface
If done correctly it works just fine.
doesn't look any different on camera
Used it nothing
No way
Just admit it,it didn’t work
Some kids made multiple scratches on my car 😭😭😭
Use Colgate Toothpaste
Any particular one?
Waste my time, scratch is still there
