Deep scratches look hideous and depressing! This video shows how to repair those scratches while preserving the clear coat in and near the surrounding area. Sure...you could make repeated passes over the effected area, spiking temperatures and stressing the clear coat. Or let me show you how to repair the scratch with minimal stress to the clear coat.

Wet Sanding to repair major imperfections and scratches is the least stressful method for your clear coat. What are you waiting for? Grab some junk panels and practice! :)

Apex Detail do you have a “one size fits all” polisher for a weekend warrior and occasional detailer? I have a torqx and it’s not quite powerful enough. I was thinking a 15mm throw for a more general use but would a 21 be better and to also use the torqx sometimes?

Brother, I just want to say THANK YOU 🙏, every startup detailer needs to see and learn lesson from this. Setting up expectations too high for customer will not bring more business in longer run but being honest and upfront will. Customer needs to be educated what scratches cannot be permanently removed to set their expectations level at the right level. Thank you 🙏 again for another great and honest video.

This channel is one of the best but chrisfix actually explains things a little bit better when it comes to some of the scratch removal process.... example was doing a wet test to see how deep the scratch is. If it’s just cut through the clear coat and compound, polish and wax isn’t enough to smoothen the lines in the clear coat, you gotta sand it down using 2 different types of sand paper 3000 and 5000.... the. Polish and wax.... If it’s a deep scratch and it is straight cuts into the primer, your only two choice is touch up paint, wax Or get the entire panel to be repainted which is expensive..... apex doesn’t really delve into that.... but I still love these folks content

Great video! The only thing I do different is after sanding, I apply a very thin line of clear coat to the scratch and let it dry for 24 hours. Then I level the clear with a leveling solution before one more light sand with 3000-4000 before I polish out the area. It takes a little more time having to wait 24 hours, but the scratch will actually be filled by clear. On a side note, GM touchup paint has a built in container of clear on the opposite end of the paint tube. You simply apply a thin layer with to soft foam applicator that is included with the touchup paint. I do the same process with paint chips.

That info about wet sanding is most helpful for those of us who don't want to go to the body shop, where every paint defect solution is a complete repaint of the entire panel.
