      My 2 cents If you have a old hood or door and are willing to purchase a good *buffer ( *$230 -$500 ) sand paper, pads, chemicals etc.practice removing a variety of self inflicted scratches. If don't have the proper tools and have never buffed and or color sanded a vehicles paint, I don't recommend practicing on a newer paint job or one your bank still owns. In that case its best to pay a professional to color sand and buff the vehicles paint. Shop around and talk to people who have had their vehicle detailed. Good luck

    I'm confused why people are leaving comments about 'don't do it', 'it'll ruin your paint', etc. The point of the video is to say it IS bullshit and doesn't work. Didn't you watch the whole thing? He's debunking the myth, HELLOOO!

    I mean yeah it doesn’t fix scratches but it does a great job of covering them up. It’s not dangerous and it’s cheap. Obviously if you have lots of money get it done by a pro. But if you’ve swapped paint with a badly parked car this is really good !

  • @johnulicky7356

    Great video. All this does is mask scratches. Scratches must by mechanically removed via (In extreme cases wet sanding) cutting compound, and several buffing compounds. This is also what to do with you yellow/foggy headlights

    wd-40 breakes down the paint so it runs, lightly buff it in scratch then clean all the wd-40 off you dont scrub it hard you take off the paint that was in the scratch's back out and spray a clear coat, itll last quite a while but also its meant for smaller with that size you did it dont get enough paint transfer, iv used on head lights too but you do have to do scrub hard to make sure all the wd-40 is gone or it will ruin the covers the put clear coat on and that last quite a while too
