I'm a single mom, and recently inherited my dads 1997 Chevy Z71 when he passed away. It's actually in pretty good shape, other than oxidation and pollen from sitting uncovered in the elements. I'm trying to restore and detail inside and out as much as I can on a budget. I've watched tons of videos, and yours by far is one of the most informative I've seen. I look forward to seeing more. Thank you.

This is top advice, thanks. Btw, you can easily hide scratch marks on your furniture that the puppy makes by leaving a car in your living room.

I don’t usually enjoy these types of videos, but I love your sense of humor and ......... your doggie! You’re a great instructor. Thanks for showing me how to hide the scuff on my bumper.🌸

Good job! A+++ Simple and straight to the point. Thanks

Love your sense of humour!! Keep up the videos love em!!

Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use kzread.infoUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀

Thank you for this video. By no stretch am I a DIY guy but this video was so simple that it gave me confidence I could do it and -- voila -- I did! Worked, great and likely saved a few hundred dollars. The dog was a fun touch, too. Thanks again for taking time to produce the video.

Thank you for reminding me of some things, and giving me some new bits of knowledge. Sort of a quick and dirty master class on scratch removal. I do not understand who could have thumbs-downed this video! Thumbs up from me. Thanks again.

I am pretty sure cute little doggies gave the video a thumbs down

A very well presented and instructional video. Well done and thank you.

I find that rubbing compound on a damp cloth (LIGHTLY) and removed with wet cloth asap followed by polishing compound works good. I do this after touch ups too. Always save any exterior parts you have replaced because you can practice on them:)

Excellent & informative video; your step by step process is thorough & left me confident to correctly address a tiny scratch on my Honda Civic. The puppy was a nice touch, you AND the woof are adorable!

It is really a very informative and direct tutorial!

Thank you for your video. You are direct and to the point. Your dry sense of humor is fabulous. You are my kind of instructor.

DAMN! I just did this step-by-step on my black car and IT WORKED! Worked VERY WELL. Between the sand paper and compound I spent about $18. Works SUPER well. Thank you! Great Video.

Your one of the best! The videos are always well produced and easy to follow. I didn't see anything past the puppy. Man he's growing fast.

Super video! got to understand the theory as well. I am gonna try it on my car !

Lol this guy is a charm. Great video man!

Thank you and just like one of the other guy said in the comments, the link for the elbow grease had me in stitches 🤣 🤝👍🙏

Great video! May I ask can a fine scratch remover remove the 2000 grit sand marks? Or must use rubbing compound in order to remove it?

H Kool video .. What wax would u recommend to cover swirl scratches and light scratches?. Thanks

I do not see the link to the elbow grease!!! How much does it cost, and where can I purchase it??? I have enjoyed your previous videos, but now, with puppies, and jokes.....Priceless!! Thanks!!! James

Thank you for these tips! I just watched a pervious video you made as well on sun damage to car paint making it fade, that you fixed making it more presentable. I have gladly shared both your videos and thumbs up! Least I can do for your hard work efforts. Beautiful little puppy you have certainly a cool distraction,. Do take care with his lunch, many people only feed them kibble, (hard biscuits) but kibble contains about 50% starch (sugar) which as you will know is cancer's favourite food, manufacturers don't mention the sugar content they know it puts people off buying it. However, various types of raw organic non GMO meat is best for dogs, some people add broccoli and sprouts to it as which is supposed to be nourishing. They call it the Ketogenic diet a way dogs ate when in the wild. There are videos on You Tube about it you might have already seen. We used to have dogs now we have cats and feed them on raw meat, also lightly cooked meats. They thrive on it. Occasionally we may give them cat biscuits and put raw egg yolk on it that they enjoy. Raw egg yolk contains protein and biscuits may help clean their teeth.

Hi Great Video learned alot. What would be the difference between using the wet sanding or dry sanding?? Is there a reason to use one over the other??? Thank you again God Bless

@myRatchets

7 жыл бұрын

When wet sanding the water acts as lubricant, it keeps the dust down, and it also keeps the paper clean longer and therefore provides more direct contact between the grit and the surface. However it gets messy and all over the panel, but over all it is best when doing big jobs. Dry sanding creates dust, also it doesn't allow for direct contact between the grit and the surface since it gets clogged. Generally speaking wet sanding is over clear coat and sometimes primer/sealer finishes and dry sanding is over body filler, primer/sealer or bare area's. Unless you are working on a very small area as in this video, in which case it doesn't make a huge difference. cheers

you are a genius!

Thank you.Vrey nice I like u did all by hand All the other videos used buffers Its more work yes yes it is what it is I don't have a buffer Thx again Please keep up the good work

Great video! And he is pretty funny! Thank you 🙏

Well the WD-40 is doing a great job! Thanks for the advice

Hi, you got any idea about how to repair some deep scratches on the base coat? I saw someone using brush to dip some paint on the surface. Do you have any detailed instruction on that?

good video gracias

Merci barodar! :)

Could u do a vid giving us advice on how to start, run a garage and cope with customers and pitfalls etc ?
