The number of videos on this youtube with people trying to look experts by making complaicated lengthy 200 steps videos and then this man with just a finger does it all. Amazing!!
Any suggestions on how to remove light scratches and swirl marks ? Like only noticeable in particular lighting an angles. Long story short wiped down parts of the car with microfibre cloth that was wet ( so was the area ) then wiped it down with a dry one. Any suggestions?
Hey there mate. 2 warnings everyone: 1. Gloved finger is messy and sticky, makes surface stippled like Artex ( I'm old)! 2. Be miserly with the paint otherwise it takes forever to buff off the excess! I'm learning loads from you!
I found your videos and subscribed immediately. All the stuff without the fluff. No annoying background music, clear understandable voice, straight to the project without 40 minutes of hey youtubers bs speeches. Keep up the good work.
Mate, you're a dream come true. You know what you're doing and explain why perfectly. The icing on the cake is that you crack on with it. It's is so refreshing not to have to listen to waffle and padding.
Great vids, what about when you do this on a car door and it’s on the fold line just above the handle? The cutting paste (forcela) seems to pull the touch up paint back off ?
Really good idea this. Especially as a little nailpolish size, colourmatched bottle of paint is only around 10 bucks aswell. So 20 or 25 bucks all in, you can keep up with any little imperfections or scratched for years. Awesome.
This video is absolutely brilliant! I’ve been polishing out the families car scratches out for 40 odd years and I’ve learnt something new today! (I’ve never tried using my finger tip before, so thanks for sharing mate!) ☝️
Bloody brilliant! Did my Dad's old Range Rover where someone had keyed it, along with various minor scrapes. Used some touch up paint from Halfords, and now repair looks practically invisible. Thanks for sharing your technique!
At the end of the day most of us are just trying to keep our beloved daily drivers looking nice. We don’t need supercar results. This is a great tutorial and well worth the price of the kit. Cheers
This is exactly the kind of youtube guide you're after... not a half hour of nonsense, just a few minutes telling you exactly what you need to do to save yourself 300 quid. Cheers for putting this up.
I tried this technique on my 1995 Ford Mustang. It's metallic red and had a large number of minor scratches on the passenger door. I used Testors model paint and the results were very good. Of course it didn't remove the scratches, but I would say it looks 95% better. And the paint only cost $3.25.
I tried this on my sisters burnt orange peugeot as the scratches round the drivers door handle were really bad and what a result. You can't see them at all now! I can't thank you enough for the tip !! !! !!
Nice one, Fella. I think the way you present your videos gives us numpties the courage to have a go ourselves. I'm a complete Neanderthal with a spray can but even my proto-brain can manage finger painting! Thanks for putting this out there 👍
Have to admit was hesitant applying finger paint (code matched) to the 5 year old Amarok I just bought. Worked like a charm on the scratched tail gate. Fantastic video.
not everyone has the dollars for the paint shop these days,your good deed will be appreciated by many,what you tube was intended for unlike a lot of tubers for profit channels.
You're a genius! I've watched 3 of your videos so far and will combine your methods on my car, which I've been wanting to fix the scratches and chips on for years, but all of the videos I've watched have been too complicated for my skill set. I knew there had to be an easier way. THANK YOU!
That worked surprisingly well, not that I ever doubted you! In my case, I hand compounded away the extra paint, with not much effort. If I had advice for anyone doing this for the first time, it would be to use just the lightest dab of paint. Less paint, as long as it fills the scratch, means less buffing.
Thanks for great information and not dragging it out. OMG the people getting into that poor car must be blind and holding a big fist of keys or rocks when trying to locate the door handle.
Great video and great idea, better than what I have been doing for years. For the punters out there: the buffing *might* remove some of the new paint out of the scratches, hence the need to go back again as in the video. With some care and patience though it's obvious you can acheive a fantastic result relatively easily. Thank you for the video!! You're right, we love it :)
I am so glad this was not a long video because I became so invested in watching it I forgot that I had put my dinner in the oven, the timing was perfect, also a great video, definitely going to try this, thanks
I've done exactly this for many years with about the same 90 % results. I've just retired a GMC van after 22 Canadian winters and I've often had people stop me to ask if I've had the vehicle repainted. Fill the ditch with paint and buff off the thin excess on the flat surfaces.
Thanks for such a brilliant idea and presentation!!! Straightforward and to the point, no long drawn stories about the day best friend farted in kindergarten or some other rubbish that has nothing to do with the subject. Bravo amigo 🤘🏽
Your video popped up as recommended viewing so I gave it a go and was pleased with and pleasantly surprised at your results! I will do this on my 2005 Nissan Murano. It has a few areas with pesky scratches on it that I couldn't buff out. Many thanks from across the pond in the states! 🇺🇸👍🏼
I've got a fairly bad scuff in the middle of a panel and was about to pay over £500 to have the whole panel repainted. To be honest, I'm a bit worried about the matching to adjacent panels. Having seen this, I think it's worth having a go first. If the scratch is too bad and it doesn't work, I won't be worse off. Thanks for the tip!
This is the epitome of "the perfect TH-cam DIY search video". Straight to the point, clear as day, well executed.... ....(and) amazing result.... Thank you, sir, and cheers from Florida. You just answered questions I didn't even know I had AND saved me a bunch of money on a new (used) car purchase... THANKS!!!!
What a fantastic video ! Thanks for sharing this simple technique . Just bought a black van with lots of door scratches similar to your. Will try this technique at the weekend 👍🏼
I'll try it, I have piano black mercedes benz and it has some minor scratches and obviously I did not want to get it repainted with bad results...but now I will try your trick and I'm sure that everything will come out right. I'm used to car restorations and I never heard of your method, THANKS MATE😊
Amazing, I've never heard of this method before and it's incredible how quickly you get those results. OK it's not perfect, but it's a million times better than I'd have thought it would be! Will definitely be trying this on my MX-5 that has a few dings, cheers.
Much appreciated.... Im showing a friends car roof some love, that is scratched fairly bad in places. Great video and i have the basic tools for the job .
Quick and easy fix. You could improve it even more with bit of wet sanding to level out, but this is great for a quick fix and would satisfy 90% of car owners
Just seen this! almost same colour 1 series BMW - I had about a 6-inch scratch on passenger door, 15 minutes later.. vanished! perfect job, thank you for video.
❤ Great method thank you very much. I tried it with meguiar's ultimate compound and a drill. The deep scratches don't go away with this compound. But combined with the touchup pain, it does fill them up nicely so you can't see them from a distance. Much better than the white scratches on my dark metallic paint I had before.
Mate..brilliant..I've done the same on my bike tank after watching this..and it's worked a treat. Thanks so much. I've just subscribed and hit the bell. Thanks again!!!
Excellent video! I've followed your advice and have tackled over a dozen scratches now, like you said it's never going to be 100% but if it can make it 80-90% better by diy at home then that's a big win. Keep up the good work buddy!
I became addict to your channel 🤩. This is gold. It is also so satisfying to see someone getting straight to the point without trying to impress or make it better than it is. One question though: how do you make your own paint / color ? And tutorial ? Thanks a million 🙏
That is pretty awesome. Didn't expect it to be honest. Personally, if I try it, I think I'll put some clear coat over it. It'll last longer like this IMO.
This does work but it works much better if you thoroughly clean the area with a suitable solvent before you apply the paint. That way you remove all the polish and cleaning products that might be embedded in the scratches.
Just ordered the rub and buff kit! Was pretty sad as I had a bump into a wall whilst parking on my focus. But this video has given me hope to sort the scratches thank you!!!!!!
Great vid mate well done. Might be a good idea to use masking tape on the door handle and the black moulding as to save BURNING with the buffer. Cheers. Max. Australia.
Thanks for a great video. In some of your other videos you are also wet sanding to remove a scratch (along with paintgear paint), whilst in others, you are applying the paint without sanding first. Could you please clarify when sanding is or isn't needed? Thanks!
I believe it's worth saying what kind of paint you use. I for example mix base and hardener, someone adds clear coat too, some people use single stage etc
Wow dude just like magic. This way I will finish up my red Elantra next week. I follow up different ways with the touch up and Era Paints and always get a little lump with those touch up stick's if I know this first I will finish it long time ago. Exact match sometimes is not the same. My car is Red Scarlet but the Paint Runs Red-PR And Red-PR2. And is little darker but I watching videos here I learn to Mix the base coat with 4 to 5 Drops of Clear coat and the color came up little clear and almost perfect. Practice First in Cardboard with toothpicks until u get the same match👌. By the Way Great video Dude Thanks 👍👍👍
Excellent video, actually learnt this trick many years ago, in an American body shop, in Ft Lauderdale, when my holiday rental car got scratched, by cat's jumping on bonnet, didn't get noticed on check in, so no deposit retained. Done it on my own vehicles since, the only colour i didn't get great results using this technique was silver, I'll add once finished i then polish with one of those colour match polishes
Great method.Just wondering, How long did you leave paint on before buffing. Is the paint from a can or out of a touch up pen. Would using a touch up pen (brush end) work the same i.e. smearing on scratches then buffing. Cant wait to try this. Fantastic video
@@cvrpov Hey Mister. Michael and Bob want to know "how long did you leave the paint on before buffing". Would you like to give an answer? It's been like 2 weeks now.
Strange enough i was thinking of trying something like this tonight, so good to have it confirmed that it actually works, wondering now about paint chips on the bonnet
Having just spent the past couple of weeks learning on the go how to fill & paint deep scratches on a friend’s car, I’m pretty blown away by this. Their car is a silver metallic Hyundai & so has loads of holographic glitter bits in the paint, so after filling the deepest scratches with putty (down to plastic on the bumper - use a putty that you mix up a bit at a time or your whole tin will harden while you’re still filling in the first few scratches 😫), I’ve been using a bit of torn up sponge to dab the custom-mixed acrylic paint with hardener on. It’s a great way to get the sparkly bits to stick. It’s a bit darker than the original though as the original paint has faded a bit, so trying to hide it totally is really hard, so this wiping method might work better. (Only cost $28 Aus for the paint). Will definitely try this for the shallow scratches. One issue though is that apparently you can’t expect the paint to stick for long over wax - you have to clean & wet sand with a fine sandpaper a bit (I’ve been using 1200 grit) or use a wax & grease remover to allow the paint to grab between coats. So better to clean/sand, wipe on paint, allow to dry, wet sand until smooth, reapply as needed, then do a gloss topcoat (another $20 ish plus make sure you mask off the rest of the car & windows!) & wax or just wax if you’re not too fussy about longevity. Without the UV gloss topcoat, the paint you added will darken over time. But this method will definitely pretty up the area & is an easy top-up for not much money so depends on what results you want. Roll on the self-fixing paint is all I can say!
Thanks for these type of videos it's appreciated and this is something I'm going to try on a bumper that slightly brushed against a metal fence leaving a few little scratches. I already have the touch up kit polisher etc but this is the method I'll now try first. Thanks again
"Too many TH-cam videos talk too long so I'm going to get straight into it." There's a sub, right there. I used to do a bit of detailing. Wish someone had shown me this back then.

Thanks for the video, such a simple idea but so effective.
Definatley mate. Thanks for watching
Strange enough i was thinking of trying something like this tonight, so good to have it confirmed that it actually works, wondering now about paint chips on the bonnet
I've done some other videos on paint chips and road rash. Check out the playlist
Top job lad, thanks for sharing. Quick question, which cutting compound did you use please?

So happy you put up this video! Have a similar repair to do and was expecting to have to try to use a toothpick or something similar. Many thenks.
Great. Be sure to check out similar videos on different methods in my playlists
When the words "touch up paint" gain a whole new meaning.
100%
Do you have an idea of maybe applying a clear-coat spray to protect the paint?
That would be more a respray. A good ceramic would be better
Sometimes the simplest way is the best way. Thanks for posting this. I'll try it soon on my car.
100% agree
Simple yet effective, going to give this a try Thanks
No worries
Having just spent the past couple of weeks learning on the go how to fill & paint deep scratches on a friend’s car, I’m pretty blown away by this. Their car is a silver metallic Hyundai & so has loads of holographic glitter bits in the paint, so after filling the deepest scratches with putty (down to plastic on the bumper - use a putty that you mix up a bit at a time or your whole tin will harden while you’re still filling in the first few scratches 😫), I’ve been using a bit of torn up sponge to dab the custom-mixed acrylic paint with hardener on. It’s a great way to get the sparkly bits to stick. It’s a bit darker than the original though as the original paint has faded a bit, so trying to hide it totally is really hard, so this wiping method might work better. (Only cost $28 Aus for the paint). Will definitely try this for the shallow scratches. One issue though is that apparently you can’t expect the paint to stick for long over wax - you have to clean & wet sand with a fine sandpaper a bit (I’ve been using 1200 grit) or use a wax & grease remover to allow the paint to grab between coats. So better to clean/sand, wipe on paint, allow to dry, wet sand until smooth, reapply as needed, then do a gloss topcoat (another $20 ish plus make sure you mask off the rest of the car & windows!) & wax or just wax if you’re not too fussy about longevity. Without the UV gloss topcoat, the paint you added will darken over time. But this method will definitely pretty up the area & is an easy top-up for not much money so depends on what results you want. Roll on the self-fixing paint is all I can say!
PS thanks for the quick intro! So refreshing
What an amazing job. I'm going to try this. Top job 👍👍
Good look nigel
I have not made up my mind as to whether you are brilliant or amazing. I would have to say both! Thank You So Much!
Hey man Thanks for the sub
Thanks for these type of videos it's appreciated and this is something I'm going to try on a bumper that slightly brushed against a metal fence leaving a few little scratches. I already have the touch up kit polisher etc but this is the method I'll now try first. Thanks again
Glad you find them of use

"Too many TH-cam videos talk too long so I'm going to get straight into it." There's a sub, right there.
I used to do a bit of detailing. Wish someone had shown me this back then.
Love this. I saw you donit on Instagram ages ago, I have been a smart repair for 15 years, and I never knew this trick. I use it all the time now cheers fella

A couple of mins
