2. Wet sand with 2000 grit on a sanding block.

You can also use anything hard and flat behind the sandpaper.
3. Fill in clear coat scratches with clear coat.
Clearcoat –
Little dabbers to apply the clear or color. These are great!
4. Add color only if the scratch is deeper than the clear.
Touch up paint –
Pick your color or call the dealer for an exact match. You can also get some mixed at an automotive paint store.
5. Wet sand with the block to remove any high spots and then buff with the coarse pad and compound and then a fine pad and compound.

Fine Compound –
Obviously, my $80 budget was for materials used and I buy everything in bulk for the shop and have owned the polisher for years. If you are starting with no tools or materials understand that there are cheaper alternatives and lower quantity bottles of products to keep your budget low. You can buy polishers used on eBay or FB marketplace, cheaper pads at Harbor Freight, etc. Be creative and if you do buy in the quantities I do you’ll have enough product to fix scratches on literally hundreds of cars. I barely used any of the products and materials in this video and now have leftovers to use for years to come! Enjoy!

Good 👍
I still love the way these cars look. And those are probably my favorite factory wheels ever made.
How much could you part a car like that out for? I would think a lot more than you paid for it.
That’s amazing. Not only great work but super inspirational. Awesome!!
Wow that's some impressive scratch repair
update??
Not sure if you mentioned it but I think it's important to mention you're using Rupes bigfoot buff on the car. That's about the best polisher you can get. Also, you should block sand on the diagonal. Like making x's along the scratch. Ultimately using that bigfoot will give you 10x the result of a cheap buff.
Sweet ride.its a shame the people who owned it didn't take better care of it…people are slobs worse than pigs sometimes
Dude what I see are the scratches you put in paint from sanding lol more work to do. I have a really nice simple one step method that gives wonderful results, but I don't work on expensive vehicles lol Have fun listening to yourself.
Hello friend, I just discovered your channel and im very impressed by your knowledge and your generosity by giving your builds away and changing peoples lives. The only suggestion I would like to make, is that you name each project including the name and color of your build snd…that you write the video number on that build, that way we can follow you much better…..I have looked and looked and cant find missing videos and that is frustrating. Forgive me if I sound pretentious, i am only respectfully suggesting.Congrats.
