To the people complaining about this video being a waste of their time, well it's not a waste of your time if you had to click on a video where someone is claiming to fix scratches on a car with fire!! Also it means you missed 0:10 0:43 and 1:24 You learned a valuable lesson in under 1:24 .. I am willing to bet you won't fall for any more scams regarding quick scratch removing schemes out there and actually waste some time and money in real life from now on. YOU'RE WELCOME :-)

Finally someone actually gets it right. Oils will hide the appearance of scratches for a short time, but they will never get rid of them. I'm glad someone out there finally tells it like it is and gets it right!
I had to improvise with a scratched hire car once, and used the oil off the side of my nose. Worked a treat.

So he actually shows people how stupid they are to believe every shit they hear, and is honest enough to tell them that he just screwed with them without making money off it. So why are there so many people who hate him? Cause they got screwed :-)

Thanks man! It's great you show this to us and how easily we are tricked by good "tips" of others..
I am grateful for your honesty. To many people are always charlitons and the truth is there is a sucker born everyday. Thank God for people like you, who have an honest heart and expose those who do people wrong. Thank you for honestly my friend.
I don't think is a waste of time watching a video and learn something, I think after watching the video take the time to leave a negative comment it's a real waste of time.
I got a wreck from the scrap yard and using your technique just sold it to some dude for £5000; way to go man!
I found this to be a valuable lesson in critical thinking, something that is lacking in our mechanical and body&fender shops, and KZread videos that deal with these subjects. Thanks!
Good demo to show that we mustn't have to believe all videos on web or tv but we have to use our mind to think by ourself. I didn't lose my time to watch this. I'll win time and money for don't repeat this if i'll scratch my car body in future. Thank you again from France from a new suscriber
Thanks for the revealing story! It is definitely NOT a waste of time and will save people time by their not doing something that is useless!
Thank You So Much ! It is refreshing to see a honest person here on KZread. There are too many bullshit artists here just looking for clicks. You made my day ! Again, Thanks !
Thankyou buddy . I didn't believe wd40 and a flame would work. Thankyou again for the demonstration.
bro I'm a paint and body guy I've been doing it for 16yrs. I have seen a lot of videos that doesn't tell the true, so I want to say is thanks for the video more people should tell it like it is,please put out more if you can.

We used to use this trick (without the flame thrower portion !) when I worked for the fire department. For annual station inspection all equipment needed to look as best as possible when the Chief looked it over. Using the WD-40 over scratched or faded paint brought it back nice and shiny..at least for as long as the chief was there ! You should keep this trick in mind when buying a car from either a private individual, or especially a dealer. What you see when you buy the car might not be what you see after the first wash or two, and of course there will be no proof the scratches were there when you bought it. Good video, nicely exposed trick to watch out for.
I've seen a few of this guys videos and I'm beginning to realize that he' really has a lot of experience and knows what he's doing. He has a LOT of good sense which only comes from intelligence combined with experience.
There is no substitute for hardwork, great video.
This does work!. I cut out the scratched panels, welded in new ones, ground down the welds, resprayed and clearcoated, then used wd40 to get the shit off my hands. Thanks for sharing!
great video!! lol... what kind of 4k camara were you using???
Thank you for making this video. It is a valuable lesson! 😉
that sound like what a body shop would do. and when you go wash your car bam it's back lol

I try to keep an open mind but by the time it got to the fire I just knew there was gonna be some people setting the car on fire over this. you may be able to get those scratches out using any oil but the fire, that's my favorite part of the scam. oh and I also like to check out the keyboard tough guys that comment on people's videos. the comments are usually better than the video. thanks for your effort. I think I'll convince my wife to watch it.
This was hysterical. Loved it. Do more life hack myths.
Brilliant job. Made your point effectively and maybe saved a lot of people some money. More like this, please!
Good video 👍👍👍👍👍👍 always learn something new when I your vids bro keep em comin👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much! This removed the scratches. It also removed all the paint on my car as it caught on fire. Now I have a new car. Thank you again. ... :P
Thank you for busting the myth. I wasn't too thrilled with putting flame to my car's finish.
Good video, had me going for a while
well done mate .great video. 👍👍👍

Good info for people buying used cars. I'm sure shady dealers/sellers are doing this to make their cars look better.
actually when i was young i did something similar if i can say so with some scraches on a wall.. only that i took some of the painting behind the furniture mix it with water and filled the scraches with that crap in 2 rounds.. barely could see the scraches anymore.. so the existence of a spray to blur the area with original car painting inst something out of the ordinary... this video has its point...
thanks, i was thinking of it to try !
it worked! thank you so much!
Thank you bro for your honesty. God bless you bro.
Worked a treat for me. I reckon once the flames die out, those scratches will be gone forever!
Brilliant! Phew! at last. Thanks a million.
With very old nitro cellulose paints, heat can soften the surface and flow the paint, but a rotary buffer is what you need to do the repair. In all finishes used over the last 30 years the paint chemically reacts to form the surface and no amount if heat or buffing will do anything except damage to the panel.
Thanks, learned alot from this video.
Love this video, well done!
Thx for the information, I didnt know this.
Today we bring you a door off of a subaru outback. Great video bro

lolololo had me there for a split second thats funny keep up ur vidz bro...
That works the same way when people show them restoring their headlights with just wd40. It just puts an oily film on the headlight and makes it shine. After the first rain or car wash they are faded again. You would be better off washing the headlights and then spraying them with a good wheel clear coat because it is more tougher that regular clear coat spray. This is why the headlights turn foggy. They are coated at the factory with a clear coat finish then after a few years it gets washed driven in harsh weather the sun beating down on them erodes the finish then the light starts to get hazy. A good wet 1000 to 2000 grit sand paper will smooth the light surface then spray it with clear coat. Worked on my 2006 Chevy Silverado extended cab truck. That was a great hoax you did on that car door great video. Peace Bro.
thanks for your Honesty.

WD-40 doesn't remove scratches, it simply hide theme trough an optical illusion. It blur the scratches, literally, but only until the lubricant stays on the paint. At the first wash the scratches reappear exactly the same.
Thanks for saving people a lot of grief :)

thnx for the lesson
very great information
If you have a large area to do, can you use a flame thrower? I have one of those, but I can't find a lighter that big
Good educational post
thanks for posting
Thanks for this.
wow that;s really nice to remove Scratches
One other thing that was in this video that you should not do; use paper towel or shop towel towel to clean your care. Paper towels like bounty and other brands are actually abrasive to the clear coat and paint and you shouldn't use them. Shop towels are even more abrasive. Only use microfiber cloths to clean painted areas to preserve the paint and clear coat
how long it last/ Is safe for paint?
You can also use WD-40 or oxygen and a lighter to attack Predators. It ticks them off pretty good, though.
Nope, this video wakes people up to stop believing bullshit. Nicely done.
i'm a detail er and the wd40 trick is used on new cars when they get scraped on the lot and many shonky used car detailers to hide scratches. Olive oil is also used, anything that gets you a wet look ti fill the scratches
Will that also fix cracks in the windshield?
