best of luck mate

@@ForensicDetailing Hey mate what is the polisher machine u r using here and with how big battery ? Thanks

Yh it’s porous and primer is porous, I’m sure you’ve seen cars where they used body filler to do the repair and just sprayed primer and been driving around with just primer, they think the primer will prevent the rust and they will just do the base coat and clear coat when they can be bothered but it’s pointless, primer is even more porous than base coat, pointless just doing half of the repair. What I do is mix the base coat and clear coat then do the touch up. What I bought recently is kwikchip sprayless scratch repair touch up, it’s specially designed for this and you just do the touch up then to level it you can polish it, they have some other chemicals like leveller and haze remover but I only bought the sample which is just the paint but haven’t tried it yet, don’t know if it will any better than normal touch up paint

Point taken, but easier to just get direct gloss touch up paint.

@@alfgunn you can but depends really if the results are the same as doing it separate, for deeper stone chips I think it would be better to use each process separate including primer touch up as you need to build up the layers to fill deeper stuff and when you put 2 coats on it might look ok but it will shrink and to make the repair look better then you would have to go back and put more layers on

Your telling me! Guess how I learnt that?! 😂

Thanks for the advice!! 👍🏻

glad it helps dave. i think with deeper ones wait for the paint to dry to see if it needs another coat to riase it up. once you have a nice dome over the chip it can be flattened down and buffed out.

But BMW paint is said to be hard, so shouldn't it be the other way around? And what about Audi/VAG paint?

Behauptungen aufstellen aber keine Fakten liefern?

Paint on bumpers, especially bmw is VERY thin. It doesn't require the same level/depth of paint at factory with being plastic. So will, sadly chip moochos easier

Hello there - thanks for the update. Can you tell me where to buy this pain with the pre-mixed clear coat?

from what i remember John mentioned this in another stone-chip touch up video, he said you can get paint + clear coat mixed into one bottle and it's sold as 'glossy paint' repair kit

toothpick or needle works just as well, for people who cannot find medical supplies. don't paint on just guide the paint in.

How long do you let it dry before clay? Thank you

@@sw2599 24 hours.

Thanks I try it, im a bit afraid to use sandpaper on my car.

Eaze off the grog

How do you sand the crown of paint down without sanding through the top layer of clear coat? Do you fill with paint just below level and then crown with clear coat, or do you mix the paint with clear coat and use the mix to crown the chip?

wish I'd read this two years ago :D Me and my 120, then i got to the bumper and my heart sank! Lets say it took considerable time and as a first timer, too, some errors were made but all a great learning process in the end. And I had a very strong back at the end of it!

I used to do this back in the day too! I used to use a sponge rather than a rag for the paint. I wouldn't do it on a nice motor, but it's a great way to freshen up the bumpers on a cheaper car that is badly chipped. Trick is not to let it dry too much, or it will be a bitch to polish all the excess paint off.

labs unlimited mate.

Not really m8 the resin kits I guess

@@ForensicDetailing thank you

Depends how long you want to polish it for and how much you've scuffed it in the sandback. Usually cutting, as Jon said to get the deeper scratches out, quicker.

i used 2000+ polish. it took almost an hour by hand. i think i will use 2000 + ultimate compound + ultimate polish in the future. the compound is maybe equivalent of 4000 grit (still can see swirl marks) and polish is invisible to the human eye.

You could just dab paint yes but a sand and polish can do better job

@@ForensicDetailing thank you, I'll do the small ones carefully and see how I get on

Wheel off m8 nice stuff Hoggs hair squirt and poke. Surfex hd is ideal

I just used 2500 grit sandpaper and cut a square bit of plastic stick off something, wrap it around (so its about 10mm wide) then rub it gently back and forth, takes a while. Get creative, doesn't need to be fancy.just sandpaper folded would do, just needs to be flat so you get an even sanding and use very little pressure.

The roughness can be the wax be degraded I think. Make sure to use 9nly 5 ml autowash it's almost like water.

@@ForensicDetailing thank you Jon think I may have used to much outowash

Alot of it. Don't try if you don't want to ruin your bonnet.

most cars can tolerate maybe 10 times of compounding before the clear coat is wiped out. a responsible detailer will warn you that some scratches are just not worth trying to completely clean off, as long you do not see it and then feel frustrated every day.

elite car care sell them mate. p2000 to 3000

You won't get rude of that it's the edge of the gloss paint meeting the laquer

@@ForensicDetailing Thanks for reply. How has this not happened with you? I did a bonnet a few years ago, put a blob of paint on let it dry to then buff off the remaining paint, it left the outlines on that too. So frustrating

elite care care sell them mate. go for 2000-3000 grit

Shake it more m8

@ForensicDetailing OK cheers mate will give it a try. Thanks 👍

I have tried to remove all the rust but need suggestions on what tools would work best. Steve

10 chips on one panel is repaint time mate

Yer that's true

And you should mask the edges as you may go through on them especially if your a novice !!!!

Just eBay m8

Or just use something thin and pointed such as a toothpick. never ever use the brush provided, simply too big for precise work. then protect the surrounding, leaving just 1-2mm to blend into the surrounding, then have fun with the 2000 grit sandpaper and compound/polish. 1) perfection is only possible with a respray. 2) a colour-matched flat spot is less obvious than a colour-matched pimple from 3 feet away.

you can get from elite car care mate

Whats it called?

hmm some people call it this. because you can use a sanding daisy on a block to de nibb dirt specs. But you can also get stones which are more agressive sometimes referred to as de nibbers or stoning.

@@ForensicDetailing aha. Cheers. I’ve seen the stones. Or carbide. Think called. About 60-80 quid. Painters use on runs??? Think I’ll just pick up a foam daisy 3M product or another … Use some stick on Velcro on 1200 grit on scratch to caress scratches or take heads off ( crown ) off stone chips touch ins. Cheers Jon

Front bumper is painted yes

Not unless you know what your doing.

none if you want to but the ebay paints seem good to me.

@@ForensicDetailing Dr Colorchip gives a much better result as it can be levelled flat with no blobs and doesn't require sanding or any abrasion to do so, it's just a solution that goes over the paint that removed excess.

@@ForensicDetailing thanks for covering this subject matter, I don’t think content creators cover it enough. Also how different manufacturers have different clears and how different pads/compounds word differently on each. Thanks again, next week I’m taking care of chips on my 2022 satin steel metallic ZL1. Hey could you cover stone chips on carbon fiber, I have one on my exposed CF hood insert (just the clear) love the channel thanks again Baton Rouge, Louisiana!

How about cars driving in different lanes overtaking you? Surely you haven't thought of that😅 There is no way to avoid stone chips I am afraid.

Yeah that’ll work lmao

Still wet with the panel wipe where he forgot to wipe it clean. Whoops. Wonder what affect that'll have on the end result.

That clearcoat is fucked

No too much faff m8

its gloss paint for touch ups mate

@@ForensicDetailing thank you very much. please, Do you now what is the equivalent for Y3Y paint? because I find only paint+clear coat sepparatly

no offense mate but when I use a product I trust the people that make it first. This product is designed to be used neat.

@@ForensicDetailing thank you very much for your feedback

its gloss paint mate. the effort required to flatten color and clear, sand, buff, finish and is too much. and the paint and laquer kits are expensive. get cheap touch up paint on ebay for 4-5 quid. the color match is usually good. fill it, sand it buff it up. do it quickly. they are never transparant. touch up vids becoming popular on instagram and stuff but they dont show you the true results.

Yup

Stop making stuff up in your head lol

@@ForensicDetailing Instead of asking how it’s much more easy this reaction says it all…you think are the expert but you remove unnecessary clearcoat around the chip, where you can also do this work by almost not touching the clearcoat but only the chip itself…I did not invent this myself but there are detailers on the web that do know more that goes beyond a bit of detailing…this is working like an elephant in the room 😁
