or graphene coating on the car so if you haven't already make sure you subscribe to the channel over 25 000 subscribers to go ahead and follow us on this journey but i know many of you have asked questions how do i just properly fix the scratch on my car you know sometimes things happen you may be at the go train station you may be going shopping and you come back and you find a deep scratch on your car and you know it's a terrible feeling when i go out i try to park far away but it's inevitable honestly it is inevitable these times are going to come and you're going to see this scratch and you're going to be kind of freaking out you're going to be like what can i do to actually fix this um you may not have all the experience in the world in doing this well that's great because i

showing you all the products you need to go ahead and do this really easy and effectively and i'm gonna make sure i link it all in the description box down below but i have some of these products here number one is the turtle wax hybrid solutions pro this is their one and done compound this is their newest product that just came out so big shout out to turtle wax for sending this over to me this is supposedly gonna go ahead and give you a full beautiful last step polish finish with a compounding ability that removes deep scratches so i'm really interested in trying this product out it's my first time i'm gonna be using this product to see if it can go ahead and take out this one large scratch here on this lexus is-250 and there's another one we're gonna be testing it with as well so this is the one and done compound what also you're gonna have is you're gonna have a three inch lake country cutting pad this is an orange pad specifically for compounding i'm gonna be linking these all in the description box down below you can use other compounding pads as well i'm just showing you this one this is one of my favorites the lake country pad and then my trusty porter cable dual action polisher this is you know this started detailing for hobbyist or automotive enthusiasts that made it really cheap accessible to go ahead and polish your car without having to worry about burning the clear coat or any of that stuff you know with some precautions that you're going to take which i'm going to show you about so we're going to go ahead and start working on this and you're gonna see how easy it is to actually fix the scratch on your car in just under five minutes so this is a pretty bad scratch like if i saw this on my car i'd probably be freaking out about now but you don't have to freak out anymore it's really this simple number one you're gonna go ahead and make sure you completely clean the area in this case if you want to wash the car i just washed this car if you haven't seen that video i'll link it in the card above how to properly wash your car without putting any swirls or scratches onto it so this car is washed it's completely clean that's an important part about this step number one is clean the surface the next thing we're going to do is we're simply going to take our pad we're going to go ahead and line it up with this and now we have our three inch compounding pad right on our porter cable and i'm going to go ahead and use a little bit of the compound from turtle wax the one and done compound i'm gonna open this up and you're not gonna put too much on this i'm gonna show you here you're literally gonna put let me shake it number one it's always good to shake these things because they all get stuck somewhere you're gonna shake it you're gonna put a drop here a drop here maybe like these these drops that's it five drops in total that's all you need it's all you need to get started okay you're going to come on the scratch now depending on the depth of the scratch you know it may take longer for you to actually see it go out off but what i'm going to show you now is i'm going to go ahead and start polishing it i'm going to rub the pad here like this we're going to spread the compound you know around the area we want to get more than just the area that we're looking to actually fix we're going to start and there's a whole bunch of settings we're going to start at setting 5 and what we're going to do is we're going to do a bunch of passes in a horizontal and vertical fashion about five or six passes once that's done you're gonna start seeing the scratch start fading away and then on the last three passes i'm gonna up the speed to six now watch how much pressure i do this watch how fast i'm doing this this is important for you to know [Music] so a few notes do you see how like quickly i was going right it was not too quick it was at a steady pace i was doing overlapping motions across i was going horizontally and i was going vertically up and down just like that so let's go ahead and buff it off let's see the results buff off the entire area here and look at that wow i hope i hope you guys can see that this is a really remarkable fix right here look at that so this is pretty incredible the the the fact that it removed that scratch and it was a pretty deep scratch it was deep enough that it's actually indented slightly i could see it only in the weirdest lighting angles but you can probably see in this video i haven't seen it yet in 4k you tell me what you think here's another scratch here and there's like i guess another scratch from somebody's dent again you know people swing indoors and stuff right here and this one and done compound from turtle wax the hybrid ceramic or the hybrid solutions pro so far so good i'm gonna leave my judgment for this for the full paint correction i'm to be doing with this because i want to do a one-step compound polish with this product so make sure you subscribe again to see this in action for the entire car because believe me this car is covered in other swirls and scratches these are just some of the major ones for those that want to just fix the you know the major stuff that's happening on their car so let's go ahead let's go ahead and do this again once again i'm gonna put not too much one two three four one in the center that's it that's that's really all you need one of these bottles will last you for a lifetime basically so let's go ahead we're going to do the same thing we're going to put the compound solution over the area in this case we have a a larger area that we want to cover i'm going to start with setting five i'm going to do about three to four passes on setting five and then we're going to amp it up to setting six do another three passes and we should be good to go let's see how it does i love doing this let's see let's see the results by the way i have to say so far no dusting from this compound most compounds i use dust cause a lot of like you basically have to clean the car again there's no dusting here with this uh with this compound which is huge compared to the mcguire's ultimate compound i love that compound i've used it for lots of other videos in the past but you know turtle wax hats off so far um looks incredible let's let's go ahead wipe this let's take a look can you see it from this angle you know you're in 4k probably better eyesight than my own eyes i can only see it and again the scratch is actually removed that's the thing so number one in terms of the scratch itself it's completely gone but in terms of some of these dings i guess these are doors that are slamming into the car it's making the slightest dent and the only reason why you can see it is because of the minor difference in the reflection of the light versus the rest of the paint but guys this is that's remarkable it's basically gone i'm gonna give you some different angles so you can check it out but if i am standing like if i'm not purposely trying to look for it and look for the refraction of light i can't see it the scratch is basically gone [Music] so guys that's how you fix the scratches on your car in just under five minutes i hope this video was helpful if you found that it was make sure you give it a like and subscribe to the channel i would really appreciate it we're over 25 000 subscribers um and if you'd like anything to do with car detailing the lexus is 250 uh the audi r8 or the ducati make sure you subscribe to go ahead and see that but these results speak for themselves absolutely amazing so far the turtle wax hybrid solutions pro the one and done compound very impressive i'm gonna be going ahead and doing a lot more work with this compound and on this car coming up in the videos above plus also the ducati s2r 800 needs a full compound polish and ceramic so we have really two big projects on there and then obviously the audi r8 is still in good condition it's still got its ceramic coating so nothing to do on that front so really hope you found this video helpful and i'll see you guys in the next one
