stupid video! thanks to this i screwed up my car paint, it looked better before with the scratch, now it has small scratches surrounding the one i was trying to get rid off plus the paint has this no shine to it !!!
DO NOT USE RUBBING COMPOUND, save yourself a headache.
if u want to fix that no-shine spot, just get some touch up spray paint (car brand) from a auto store. cover up and tape off any places u dont want the paint to hit using newspaper and painters tape( found at any hardware store). spray from top to bottom about 6" away, then spray at a 45 degree angle from top to bottom to avoid tiger striping.
yea you should have used polishing compound instead because now it looks flat and hazy compared to the wrest of the bumper paint. And its says right on the rubbing compound container to use a wet cloth, rubbing with a back and forth movement, and dont use on plastics. But hell it did take the crap off :)
Thank you! I let my friend drive my new BMW 7series and the next thing you know he's right into a pole. This helped return it to its former showroom shine.
This stuff is damn good , some idiot scratched my car while reversing out of a parking lot and made big scratches to my cars back pumper , using this stuff its almost like new , after you wax it and it 's almost like new.
Fucking love it, thank you so much Turtle wax for making this awesome product.
Looks bad. You gotta be careful with rubbing compound you can fuck your paint finish up if you use the wrong technique, remember this stuff is an abrasive paste and what it is doing is removing a fine level of Clearcoat, if you rub to hard you can go thru the clearcoat and cut the paint, then its a respray/touchup job. If i were doing this i would use Polishing Compound which is less abrasive, then i wld use a polish and a wax/sealant and i would use a damp microfibre towel not a paper cloth.
@Azureecosse biggest mistake in this video was not using water with the compound. It takes alittle longer but theres no haze and you follow with polishing compound/water after on the whole bumper if its a older car
BTW I bought some of this for my front bumper as well and did great. Thanks for the video. I did some wet sanding for the body and it's looking really good.
Your suppose to rub it in a back and forth motion not circular. Circular will leave circular scratches on the paint. And yes I know putting the hard shell wax on next you won't see it but it's only so long before you need to wax it again. I did my whole Dodge B2500 Conversion Van today. First I used the compound on the whole van then had to remove it. Then I went ahead and put the Hard Shell Wax on and removed it too. Took me about 5 hours doing it by hand, I don't have any machine to do it.
@I3lackl3ear i would use a Polishing compound instead my friend , the technique shown here is a bit rough and overtime it will start to look worse. You got to use a wax sealant after this compound to stop the paintwork from degrading against the elements, also i would wash the compounded area with soapy water and allow to dry before applying a waxing sealant stops cross contamination of the products. I used to do this type of work for a living, it can look great if you take your time.
TURTLE WAX FOOLS ME! I DID BOUGHT THIS TURTLE WAX RUBBING COMPOUND THE SAME COLOR THE SAME CONTAINER WHEN I TRY IT TO A SMALL SCRATCH IT DIDNT WORK!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! FUC^^& YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! YOU WASTE MY MONEY!!
@listojay You first have to fallow the directions and it's not for scratches were the paint is missing. It's for little scratches. Then after you do that your suppose to wax and polish it. You don't put abrasive compound on thinking it's going to be shiny and scratch free like that. And if you did all I said and still came out with a scratch you're a liar. I have scratches on my paint from steel wool and this stuff plus the wax got rid of them and the paint 16 years old an oxidized like new now.
@listojay How deep was the scratch? Did it penetrate the clearcoat? Are you sure you applied the compound the right way? (damn cloth, work into cloth, use mild to moderate pressure at first while applying and slowly lighten up as you work it into the scratch, finish by gently dusting away the compound.) And did you follow up with polishing compound and wax?
@nevarezga the scratch that i was trying to remove was bearly even a clear coat scratch. it was one that i purposely made with my fingernail in the inside part of the door. my nails cant scratch through paint or metal. but this product didnt even remove any swirls from my paint. tho i didnt have a polisher. I bought meguires swirl x and scratch x. and both them done the same thing this rubbing compound done. all i was trying to do is remove some swirl marks from my paint.
@Lilmiket1000 well i went and purchased this product from autozone yesterday and i spent hrs rubbing this on my one scratch on my car and its still there. it done absolutely nothing for me. so i gave it to my friend to try and see on his paint job. and it done absolutely nothing for him either. SCAM.
@Lilmiket1000 You do realize if the scratch is too deep rubbing compound won't cut enough to remove it right? Sometimes you have to start with 1500 or even 1000 grit sandpaper to work the scratch out, then use the rubbing compound to buff out the scratches of the sand paper, finally polishing compound to touch off the microscratches the rubbing compound created. I use this stuff all the time and it works a dream, you must be doing it wrong.
i used this it said it soposible removes ocidation i used it all it and when i removed it all it did was high light the oxidation orange so i had to must out the trusty swirl x from meguiars to remove this shit
DO NOT USE THIS ON CLEARCOAT... EVER! some idiot at autozone recommended I use this crap to remove hard water spots, I applied it to my car and destroyed my clearcoat on my hood!
@TroubleMan21C Yeah, you only use this if the paint is very, veryy damaged, like paper sand. This remove a layer of pain so the paint in the interior is like new. If you use ths hard on clearcoat it will remove the clearcoat. For waterspot use cleaners or/ and claybars. Polishing compund also works but again it will remove some of the paint.
@prbrianpr Yeah, I know now... my only gripe is that Autozone recommended I use it, I feel stupid for not using common sense and going along with the recommendation anyway... should have known better.
@TroubleMan21C Yeah that happend. Not only in this. I always be aware abut shop recomendation they dont know all all times, best use internet, now I use internet reviews for all and never gets dissapointed.
if u want to save some money u can use some nail polish remover. I had a spot just like that where the car hit the side of the garage and i used nail polish remover and a brillo pad worked perfect.
I saw Autozone guys recommending Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound T-230 and Turtle Wax Polishing Compound T-241 to customers without asking what kind of pain they are working on. Turtle Wax, however, strongly recommends, for clear coat, trying products that are less aggressive than those two. On clear coat, Rubbing Compound T-230 will create haze and scratch that are very hard to fix by hand. Polishing Compound T-241 is milder than T230, but it also creates some visible scratches on clear coat.
There is nothing wrong with the Turtle Wax product ... you just used the wrong one and very swiftly destroyed your clear coat. The green tub Polishing Compound will do the job, with considerable effort, and little paint effect. ALL compounds will effect clear coat and paint no matter what brand ... thats the nature of a polisher/scratch/swirl/scuff remover!! They dont magically remove scratches ... they smooth down the surroundings areas of the blemish to make them less visable!
you should really put some wax or somethin on there cuz u can tell that it took away some of your clear coat along with the paint from that pole you hit
I actually used the Turtle Wax premium grade rubbing compound this past weekend and it did a hell of a job restoring the shine and getting those annoying scratches off my clear coat. Unlike this stuff, it was a white gel.
@Bahzad23.... just walk up to the counter and demand the green shit... if they cannot provide your request.... go elsewhere. If they ask for a part number, give them this number... GR33NSH1T. That should answer your question, thanks for listening.
rubbing compound always before polishing compound.
Rubbing compound is a more abrasive compound than polishing compound. It is maid to remove deeper swirls/scratches/scuff marks. When you are using rubbing compound, ALWAYS follow with polishing compound THEN a coat of wax. Polishing compound will condition the paint and wax will protect it.
@cheetncat yeah cuz what that rubbing compound does is basically cut that paint rub off, i would only recommend using this compound on a very small spot like a car sideview mirror that got some paint rub. probably should have used this heavier compound first to start getting off the paint that was on top cuz it looke like some real thick paint rub, and then use a finer compound to remove the remaining paint that was closer to the actual level of the cars finish
@cheetncat hand polishing and waxing that area could improve the shine close to what it was but in my experience if the paint is dulled like this or worse its gonna take professional grade polish with a buffer to restore the shine back to this section for long term, hand polish and wax will only restore the area temporarily, even good waxes and polishes at parts stores really only enhance paint that's already shiny. very difficult to make dull paint shiny by hand And have the shine LAST!
@noopsky13 in one spot it would be ok to use a very clean 100% cotton cloth like a soft tshirt, but if you're going to do a whole car then yes microfiber is definitely a must! like a 24 pack at sams in the janitorial section is less than 10 dollars, if you take ur car through automatic car washes then it doesnt matter what cloth you use cuz your paint will get swirled and scratched up anyways.but if u really care about your car and wash it by hand then yes, you should also dry with microfiber
Its not as scary as it seams. If rubbing compound is applied by hand it is almost fool proof. However when applied with a buffer, you have a lot more room for error and run the risk of damaging the paint more than it was before
yup. The turtlewax rubbing compound is one of the more abrasive compounds on the market. Just a little will leave minor swirl marks. Need to polish, seal, and wax after.
@LarryDavidFreak last night I noticed some small scratches on the side of my metallic silver car. I used the same rubbing compound and, not only did it NOT remove the scratch, but it made the surrounding area dull. I looked closely and you can see the tiny scratches left by the abrasives. I used Turtle Wax polish over it but it did nothing. Then I used Meguiar's Wax and it restored it about 70% but I can still notice it. Am I missing something??
@FeceMcGee turtle wax is a very cheap brand and their products are low quality. once the wax wears off it will be back to what it was before, i recommend buying a higher quality polish, meguiars ultimate compound works well . a job like that takes alot of elbo grease, a buffer is the best thing
@LarryDavidFreak thanks Larry! Yeah I'm set to throw that turtle wax crap away. Also, I'm thinking that using rubbing compound on a superficial scratch on the door was probably overkill huh? Especially considering my car is a 2010... MAN I wish I wasn't so hasty... this is my first new car so the tiniest scratch throws me into a frenzy
I heard these polishes are also slightly abrasive (although not like rubbing compound).. would the Meguiars Ultimate Compound on a new car would be ok?
@FeceMcGee meguiars ultimate compound would be perfectly fine to use, it isnt very abrasive, but it requires a good amount of hand buffing. Depending on the severity of the scratch it might have been better to put touch up paint on it. a way to tell if the scatch cannot be removed with compound is if you take your finger nail and go over the scratch and you can feel bumps or grooves, than there is no use using compound
@FeceMcGee turtle wax makes very cheap low quality products thus not so great results. a good polish is meguiars ultimate compound, it is best to use an applicator pad when rubbing to minimize the amount of marring to the paint. a buffer works much better than by hand and it is a hell of alot easier
you have it backwards, bare metal, Primer, Base coat(colour), multiple coats of CLEAR!
if the scratch or paint transfer is in the clear coat then rubbing compound will work for the inexperienced. If it is deeper than the clear coat then you will need alot of practice to fix it yourself
Every car "paint" consist of a few layers of different sort of protective coats,and the final colour is the last film if there is no colorless varnish above it. With the use of such products as you acctually remove the damaged part of the colour-film making it thiner. And you can do it as long as you have enough colour. At some point you will acftualy erase the colour and reveal the protective film underneath it.
You did just about everything wrong and still got a decent result... I'd say that speaks well for the product.
Yea, you should have started with something milder, a lot of people that "know what they're doing" will do that, and just rub harder and actually cause more localized damage. You should have used something softer (microfiber...) and wet it before hand, so you probably caused some fine scratches.
Get some polish or cleaner wax buff it and don't worry about the rest of the noise.
good video, i personally use rubbing compound too, and i really want to tell people that, rubbing compound DOES work in a magical way, you won't believe how effective it is unless you try it
Umm...that's not wax, it's RUBBING compound. And what does the color have to do with it? The wax I use is white and I use it on a black car. It doesn't turn my car white.
ok first off this guy dose not know a thing u should wet ur applicator then use a small amount of rubbing compound until all the scratches are gone then you use polishing compound to make it shine again then you hit it with a fresh cote of wax if all these steps are to hard to follow then don't try
spell it "coat"... but you're right, the wax will do it ONLY if you apply the rubbing compound correctly... he scratched a bit too much there at the end...
Wait, do you put a clear coat on, and then use a polishing compound? Im currently in the process of trying to fix scratches on my car. I already used touch up paint, and am trying to make it blend in with the rest of the car.
Man at least use a proper applicator next time like a foam pad or microfiber towel. You'll notice how the paint looks "hazy" or blurry. That's because there's a ton of tiny scratches in it. You need to finish off the job with a finishing polish and use some good quality equipment.
you do realalize you rubbed most of the clear coat off i only use rubbing compound on headlights and things with out paint you need to comeback with a spot of clear coat or put a shit load of wax on it
Yeh...ummm...any heavily abrasive compound will do that.....Also...thats rubbing compound, not polish and it really isnt good for you paint... You wouold of scratched the hell out of it
Use alchohol or a tiny bit of thinners...See how now the paints not shiny? Its scratched to living hell...Rubbing Compound is used after you paint a car
if u want it to shine, use the turtle wax wax polishing copound right after, pretty much the same aplication and u should get back some of the shine u lost and then if you wax it the shine will definitely come back. it will look like new.
It's a polish, so yes, it works to a large extent. It should be kept damp.
You know, in Europe plastic headlamps are not permitted. I guess in the US they figure it helps drive the economy... and America couldn't care less about headlight glare anyway. Look at all the morons driving around with their landing lights on. (In Europe they'd be cited for using fogs in the absence of fog.)

@Bahzad23.... just walk up to the counter and demand the green shit... if they cannot provide your request.... go elsewhere. If they ask for a part number, give them this number... GR33NSH1T. That should answer your question, thanks for listening.

whats the difference between rubbing compound & polishing compound?
which goes first?
mrpr1ngles 1 year ago
@mrpr1ngles
rubbing compound always before polishing compound.
Rubbing compound is a more abrasive compound than polishing compound. It is maid to remove deeper swirls/scratches/scuff marks. When you are using rubbing compound, ALWAYS follow with polishing compound THEN a coat of wax. Polishing compound will condition the paint and wax will protect it.

notice how the paint dulled out after that?
cheetncat 1 year ago
@cheetncat yeah cuz what that rubbing compound does is basically cut that paint rub off, i would only recommend using this compound on a very small spot like a car sideview mirror that got some paint rub. probably should have used this heavier compound first to start getting off the paint that was on top cuz it looke like some real thick paint rub, and then use a finer compound to remove the remaining paint that was closer to the actual level of the cars finish
bingbong609 1 year ago
@cheetncat hand polishing and waxing that area could improve the shine close to what it was but in my experience if the paint is dulled like this or worse its gonna take professional grade polish with a buffer to restore the shine back to this section for long term, hand polish and wax will only restore the area temporarily, even good waxes and polishes at parts stores really only enhance paint that's already shiny. very difficult to make dull paint shiny by hand And have the shine LAST!

So, i know i sound dum for this. But do you have to always use a microfiber cloth to wax and compund cars?
noopsky13 1 year ago
@noopsky13 in one spot it would be ok to use a very clean 100% cotton cloth like a soft tshirt, but if you're going to do a whole car then yes microfiber is definitely a must! like a 24 pack at sams in the janitorial section is less than 10 dollars, if you take ur car through automatic car washes then it doesnt matter what cloth you use cuz your paint will get swirled and scratched up anyways.but if u really care about your car and wash it by hand then yes, you should also dry with microfiber
bingbong609 1 year ago
No. But microfibers always yield the best results, even the cheap ones.

whats the difference between rubbing compound and wax?
koorboi 1 year ago
Rubbing compound is an abrasive that removes a small amount of paint. Wax gives the paint a protective coating that keeps it from oxidizing.
Gullmot 1 year ago 17
@Gullmot thats little scary. i will stick w/ wax.
koorboi 1 year ago
@koorboi
Its not as scary as it seams. If rubbing compound is applied by hand it is almost fool proof. However when applied with a buffer, you have a lot more room for error and run the risk of damaging the paint more than it was before

you only did half the job, after the rubbing compound you use polishing compound to bring the gloss back to that dull paint.

yup. The turtlewax rubbing compound is one of the more abrasive compounds on the market. Just a little will leave minor swirl marks. Need to polish, seal, and wax after.
dadoody 2 years ago
@LarryDavidFreak last night I noticed some small scratches on the side of my metallic silver car. I used the same rubbing compound and, not only did it NOT remove the scratch, but it made the surrounding area dull. I looked closely and you can see the tiny scratches left by the abrasives. I used Turtle Wax polish over it but it did nothing. Then I used Meguiar's Wax and it restored it about 70% but I can still notice it. Am I missing something??
FeceMcGee 1 year ago
@FeceMcGee turtle wax is a very cheap brand and their products are low quality. once the wax wears off it will be back to what it was before, i recommend buying a higher quality polish, meguiars ultimate compound works well . a job like that takes alot of elbo grease, a buffer is the best thing
LarryDavidFreak 1 year ago
@LarryDavidFreak thanks Larry! Yeah I'm set to throw that turtle wax crap away. Also, I'm thinking that using rubbing compound on a superficial scratch on the door was probably overkill huh? Especially considering my car is a 2010... MAN I wish I wasn't so hasty... this is my first new car so the tiniest scratch throws me into a frenzy
I heard these polishes are also slightly abrasive (although not like rubbing compound).. would the Meguiars Ultimate Compound on a new car would be ok?
FeceMcGee 1 year ago
@FeceMcGee meguiars ultimate compound would be perfectly fine to use, it isnt very abrasive, but it requires a good amount of hand buffing. Depending on the severity of the scratch it might have been better to put touch up paint on it. a way to tell if the scatch cannot be removed with compound is if you take your finger nail and go over the scratch and you can feel bumps or grooves, than there is no use using compound
LarryDavidFreak 1 year ago
@LarryDavidFreak thanks larry! I appreciate all the tips.. i'll give the meguiars ultimate compound a shot
FeceMcGee 1 year ago
@FeceMcGee turtle wax makes very cheap low quality products thus not so great results. a good polish is meguiars ultimate compound, it is best to use an applicator pad when rubbing to minimize the amount of marring to the paint. a buffer works much better than by hand and it is a hell of alot easier

clhdrums87 2 years ago
mjurisa,
you have it backwards, bare metal, Primer, Base coat(colour), multiple coats of CLEAR!
if the scratch or paint transfer is in the clear coat then rubbing compound will work for the inexperienced. If it is deeper than the clear coat then you will need alot of practice to fix it yourself

PanamaIsMyName 2 years ago
Every car "paint" consist of a few layers of different sort of protective coats,and the final colour is the last film if there is no colorless varnish above it. With the use of such products as you acctually remove the damaged part of the colour-film making it thiner. And you can do it as long as you have enough colour. At some point you will acftualy erase the colour and reveal the protective film underneath it.
mjurisa 2 years ago 2
You did just about everything wrong and still got a decent result... I'd say that speaks well for the product.
Yea, you should have started with something milder, a lot of people that "know what they're doing" will do that, and just rub harder and actually cause more localized damage. You should have used something softer (microfiber...) and wet it before hand, so you probably caused some fine scratches.
Get some polish or cleaner wax buff it and don't worry about the rest of the noise.

Man at least use a proper applicator next time like a foam pad or microfiber towel. You'll notice how the paint looks "hazy" or blurry. That's because there's a ton of tiny scratches in it. You need to finish off the job with a finishing polish and use some good quality equipment.

if u want it to shine, use the turtle wax wax polishing copound right after, pretty much the same aplication and u should get back some of the shine u lost and then if you wax it the shine will definitely come back. it will look like new.

It's a polish, so yes, it works to a large extent. It should be kept damp.
You know, in Europe plastic headlamps are not permitted. I guess in the US they figure it helps drive the economy... and America couldn't care less about headlight glare anyway. Look at all the morons driving around with their landing lights on. (In Europe they'd be cited for using fogs in the absence of fog.)
