In this video, I fix all the scratches in my vandalized Alpina B7 for $80 after being quoted $7,000 for a new paint job! This method will work on any car and you can DIY fix car scratches at home and save thousands!

DIY STEPS & PRODUCT LINKS!
1. Buff scratch with coarse pad and compound.

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!

    Syringes work well to in order to fill in the scratch too takes more time but it works amazing and does a better job

    I was a repo man in Florida for many years. It was very common for the owners to key the cars, or even worse to them when they knew the bank was coming for the car. So this key job was probably by them. Real pieces of work out there! Like it's the banks fault! Love your videos and am subscriber now!
