oh damn it, the end got cut off... well, it was sjust me saying goodbye

 

seems to be a good vid. i dont have speakers on this computer so ill whatch again later.

 

Hi Joe,
I notice that most of the scratches on my car are white, does this mean there is a hope of buffing these off?

I tried meguiar's scratch X but it did absolutely nothing, any suggestions for me? I'd love to get rid of these scratches, what rubbing compound did you use?

THanks,
Ryan

PS: Would posting pics of the scratches help at all?

 

That video was cracking me up...thanks for the tutorial though

 

i used turtle wax brand rubbing compound, it's about $4 at wal mart.

usually if it's got a colour to it, it can be buffed out.

 

nice video. next time shoot AWAY from the light outside, not into it. just a tip from a videographer!

 

you're not kidding, i found that out later. one of those "what the **** was i thinking" items

 

haha! it's not something most people would know... i mean it seems to make sense!

when i'm filming, people don't understand that an overcast day is ideal.. they get upset, "o man, it's cloudy, it's not gonna look good!"

what do you use to edit, you can probably fix that. or do you just have a very besic program.

 

Cool video thanks for the how to.

 

hmm i got some scratches i will have to watch this

 

Hey Joe,
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to do this video and answer my questions. I thought Meguiar's scratch X was a rubbing compound, I guess I wasn't pushing hard enough.

Ok, in an attempt to determine how hard you should "rub" (LoL) what kind of pressure would you use? Would you use the same pressure as say washing dishes with a cloth, sanding a piece of wood, or rubbing a baby's back? Haha, only examples I can think of; on a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being hard 1 being very softly the baby would be a 2, the dishes would be a 5 and the sanding would be an 8. Lol, I dunno any other way to explain this.

Lemme know what you think,
Ryan

 

2-4.

what i would do is, try it on something else first. really, it doesn't take a lot of pressure at all.

 

Nice video how-to. I actually have some scratches to fix once I get my GM touch-up paint so this came at just the right time. +1 rep for you.

 

i've used the rubbing compound too, i used turtle was rubbing compound. it was like 4 dollars, and he's not joking when he says it's amazing how much it can do. i had a few long, really thick scratches and they're gone.

 

what grade sand paper did you use?

 

who used sandpaper?

 

eh being a detailer, this video frightened me!

 

you OBVIOUSLY werent paying attention (<joke btw ) he said he used a fine grade of wet sand paper to make it smooth

 

me too...

 

What about rubbing compound on a black car? I have a couple of scratches and i have used Meguiar's scratch X on it taking some of it out. But im afraid of using the rubbing compound on the black paint.... it seems like it scratches/ swirles easy enough as it is. Any tips?

later

 

woops!

try it in a spot that you won't really notice... like maybe a small spot under the hood where there's paint... or a neighbor's black car

 

i wonder what people were thinking when they saw u washing ur car and taping it lol

good how to btw

 

neighbor's FTW!!!
