Repairing a Deep SCRATCH in Car Paint | DIY Key Scratch Fix

Karma points ftw! ❤

Which year 4Runner is this?

As always great content and a reality check when I think my vehicles are clean lol

How many microns did you eat from clear coat?

Hate people who simply don't have the decency to respect other people's stuff like it isn't hard to simply not ding other people's cars have had dings and scratches occur because I believed hey I doubt anything would happen if I park next to other people's cars but nope it happens smh

my civic has key scratch going from end to end on the rear driver door. heart broken. thanks for the guide!

You are right about the karma stuff dude! 😊 nice repair too. 👍

Two words: Magic Eraser.
Thank me later.

Hi! Question I have a similar issues on my truck! Will Rupes uno advance be ok to use after I sand it down with my 3000 grit sand paper? Or should I use Adams heavy compound? Thanks

It must be the 4Runner. I have a 2019 Predator looks just like that but red and someone keyed it at Lowe's

My car was just keyed today on Easter. I hope police will be able to locate camera in plaza and find who did it. My driver front and rear door all keyed. Would your method be able to fix it?

Always follow your gut😂 thats crazy thats why im here

ROFL~ This is not a deep scratch! A typical buffer with an orange foam pad can make the scratch disappear in a few passes. You don't even need a sand paper to do it.

someone keyed my car down the whole length, and then made a cute little zig zag at the end- I hope its not to deep, I am going to give this a go. People are fuckin crzy, man

Got my RSX in a auction, when I went to go pick it up I noticed there was a plastic sheet covering the passenger door because I guess when the organization that sets up these car auctions received the RSX, they couldn’t bother use a battery jumper and simply roll up the window, instead someone’s bright mind decided to use this plastic sheet and when cutting it, his knife made contact with the body of the car and left a good 30 inch key scratch on the door lol.

What’s a reasonable price to accept from a body shop? What do they do different?

Very good job and video. My brand new Corolla got keyed on the roof, two feet long today. Very upsetting but I got most of it out with some compound, then polished. There is a special place in hell for people who key cars for the sick thrill of it. Guess it's because they know they'll never be able to afford a new car.

Just found a 8 inch key scratch on my 2024 Subaru Wilderness Outback on the back of the car next to license plate. I'm pissed off enough to snap some necks and break some backs. Thanks for this video.

They just did this to my car just because I keep it clean and polish at all times

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you

They are gutless wounders if they're going to damage to some ones car should talk to the owners car let The car tyres what happens when for a emngry

Nice video. What does body shop have that some people don't?

What do you really need to fix very deep scratches to the metal?

Scratch not so diep

How much did this cost?

How much did all that cost?

There must be special level of Hell for such envious lo-life losers who key other people's cars.

Fucking people have no respect for others things and hard work to get buy there stuff to doing some shit like that…

i have this haze from 1000 wet sand. i used all the way to 7000. then tried compound with the furry pad. and the black pad. haze is still there.. any ideas? do i need to dwell in that spot longer? or what am i missing?

Great.job, thanks

are you Chris Fix? cos you totally sound like him and act like him with the hand gestures..

Just found what I believe is a key scratch on my raptor a couple of days ago. I park out in the middle of nowhere at the store and at work. Super not happy. Side note, she’s red so it’s real noticeable.

I’m here because my car just got keyed from the gas tank to the driver door. Like all of you who are here, very angry at the scumbag who did it.

I bet whoever keyed it also will be voting for Kamala Harris in November…

ur over thinking it, they just halfassed the keying... did not go back or change strstegy to dig deeper

Seen a scratch on my phone screen and thought the scratch was still there on the vehicle 😂

Body shop told me they would have to remove my tailgate and paint the entire tailgate for a 1 inch scratch. What do you think should I try your route or try a color pen?

Nicely demonstrated no thanks to the yob who put the scratch there..But karma will repay his or her debt I'm sure...Many thanks for your vlog!

I just bought a Lexus ES300 brand new first day. Someone hit my car in the corner of the rear bumper i took it to the dealership to fix it then two days after i picked up my car i got it keyed in the right rear fender if that isn't vandalism then i don't know what it is

Gret video, I have a 8 inch clear coat scratch on the front left side of my hood. It goes in a weird direction but i think i can get it out. Never had to do this but your video is extremely educational. I purchased the maguire scratch removal kit. However, the wool disc and steps that came after that you suggested seem like they are going to help tremendously. I think someone at work doesn't like that I purchased a new car. Ridiculous that anyone would think this is ok to do to another person's property. Wish me luck

My RSX has a huge key mark on the quarter panel, going to try and remove it with your methods

Thank you for sharing your tutorial! Fantastic job!

We were playing football with my friend at a public place. The whole place was full of mud. Suddenly this F150 came to us with the high beams on and wouldn't bring em down. We stopped playing at looked at the car which was also tinted. He literally obstructed our play space. He turned the car off but wouldn't come out of it. We even reached to the door but he wouldn't open it. So we decided to seat on the rear bumper of his car, and the dude turned on the car and was backing up... He was a real asshole and wouldn't even show his face. After a coupld of minutes the dude got out of the car and went walking to McDonald's. We left that f150 deaplly keyed and scratched with rocks. Dont talk about karma, you knew what you were doing by parking there, likewise the owner of this f150 knew that he was an asshole. Just dont be an asshole.

Got keyed this morning at a public park. Made a call to a local car detailing shop and got quoted $380 per door. Mind you, I was keyed on two doors (almost the same size scratch as yours). You definitely saved me some $$$ man! I’ll shoot some karma points your way 😉

My Dad left me a nice car when he died. The only thing I got when he died. I treasure it and take really good care of it. Yesterday I discovered a DEEP scratch in my car paint. Sent me to a dark place. I hope you are right about the Karma.

Thanks for the video i greatly appreciate it, my 2024 forte got a nice lil scratch and I had no idea from what or who, I drive very safe and keep it immaculate and well maintained, so I instantly noticed it. Going out now I think I’ll skip the sand paper (although I will buy some) and just try a pad mine seems not as deep. But love love the guide man..

So I have one of those Dupli-color pens, the ones with the paint brush/pen on one end and a clear coat foam brush on the other end. Instead of sanding away all that clear coat to get rid of the scratch, wouldn't it be better to fill the scratch with clear coat from the pen, then 3000 sand to level any high spots, buff and polish, then clean and apply ceramic coating?

can you please explain what it is that little bottle clear that you use to wipe off at the end in the scratch area ?

Just got my car keyed at work by somebody still don't know who did it so I'm watching this to try and fix it
