The Mother of All "How to Remove Swirls & Scratches for Novices" Thread!

That's right boys and girls, The Junkman has went and made paint correction so easy, a caveman could do it! In the following videos, I cover the entire process from start to finish. The first two videos are worth their weight in gold for the information alone. I don't even start working on the paint until the third video but the amount of information I cover in the first two videos is priceless. Do NOT skip through them!

If you have ever been apprehensive about using a machine to rid your paint of scratches and swirls, you will definitely not be worried after watching this video series. I break it down to a level where a 10 year old can watch these videos and start fixing paint. The supplies and equipment that I use are readily available in the USA and abroad (for the most part). If you have a serious desire to finally fix your paint and about 1 hour and 54 minutes, then this video series is totally for you. After you have watched this series, you will not believe how easy I have made this.

So sit back and get out some popcorn, kick up your feet and enjoy. The Junkman is about to burst onto your screen in a way that only the Junkman can!


Here are your before and after shots, which won't make a lot of sense until you have watched the videos, especially when you see how the number "2" ended up in the paint!


BEFORE...




AFTER!






Part 1 - Hey boys and girls! Finally, a video series that takes the process of paint correction from the beginning to the end (from claying to waxing). Although I do not apply any wax at the end, I cover everything else in detail. This series is 1 hour and 54 minutes long so that should give you an idea as to how much detail I go into.

In this first video, I talk in detail about exactly what paint correction is. I also go into detail about the polishing technique you should use as well as the best product on the market that you should buy. I cover other topics too so just sit back and kick up your feet. This video is 15 minutes and 7 seconds long.





Part 2 - In this video, I go into detail about exactly what I use to remove the paint damage within this video series. I name and visually show every piece of equipment as well as all of the products necessary to do paint correction. In some cases, I even offer up a location where you can find the products that I use. I talk about why I chose to use the products that I use as well as what I don't use. If you want a list of these items, WATCH THIS VIDEO.





Part 3 - Okay, in this video I identify the damage that we are going to repair. I even go as far to create some damage just to ensure that my paint will be more jacked up than your paint. I then go into detail about claying, and what it does for your finish. Last of all, I show how to assemble the PC-7424XP so that we can start the polishing process. The video following this video will be in high definition so that you can clearly see the damage and the effectiveness of my repair.





Part 4 - Because I wanted the viewers of this video to be able to see the results of the work that I did in high detail, I uploaded this video in high definition. That took 12 hours!

In this video, I actually go into the proper technique for polishing with the PC-7424XP, showing me using the machine properly. I show the polishes that I use, the pads that each polish is used on, how to work the polisher and how much polish should be used. I also talk about the importance of not using too much polish and clogging up the pores in the pads, which makes the whole process worthless. I go into the discussion of how long to work a polish and when to stop (after a polish flashes). I show which order the polishes are used and explain why you use them in that order.

One thing that I stress in this video is the importance of a solid technique. I talk about and show the technique that I use, as well as how to ensure that you are developing a solid technique. As I say often in this video series, "Technique trumps product 365, 24/7. No matter who's polishes you decide to use, none of them will work worth a darn if your technique sucks. Technique rules!





Conclusion - I recap my process and allow you into my mindset concerning paint correction and caring for your paint.




The Junkman

Trust me, you cannot mess up ANY car that you touch if you follow the instructions in these videos to the letter. So feel free to go at your pride and joy. You ain't gonna hurt anything.

A real gentleman takes care of his wife's before waxing his D

Another Junkman instructive video. There's value in all this experience for me, an idiot who never used a machine. Thank you sire. Only problem is I have NO POPCORN and need to watch 2 hours of junkman.

Come sunshine I'm getting to work!

Throw some frozen french fries in the deep fryer. Works just as well.

I want to complain about JunkMan starting his videos with "Ok boys and girls".

This is extremely offensive to asexual persons who don't identify to the gender duality or otherkin who identify as animals or objects.

It's definitely a useful tool for all those doing detailing at home, regardless of the skill level.

One thing I would like to suggest or see is an actual list of all the items that you prefer to use for detailing jobs (machine, pads, polishes, sealants, etc..)

It would be a nice quick reference rather than having to navigate through the videos.

Once again, good job and thank you!

The reason that I don't do that is because I want people to take notes while watching these videos. I am a teacher at heart. When you see how long any of my videos are, or once you start watching them and hear all of the information that I am throwing at you, that should be a major red flag that you probably need to be taking notes. Watching a You Tube video to learn how to do paint correction is not like watching a video to learn how to tie a sheet bend knot. If it was that easy, people wouldn't pay me $1000 to fix the paint on their car. You ain't gonna get the results that I get by watching the videos once either. These videos take multiple viewing in order for the majority of what is in them to actually sink in and stay with you, especially if you are not taking notes. This is like a college course on paint correction that I am giving away for free. Because of the amount of time and effort that I put into them, I want people to watch them like they are studying for a college course. That way, I don't get 50 million questions about stuff that I've covered multiple times in the videos. I even created a video that explains how you should watch one of my videos:



So that's why you see no list. The list is there, you just have to do the footwork to get it. In the end, YOU are the one who benefits because you don't miss any of the information that you need in order to be successful at this. It benefits me in no way but it benefits YOU in that you now don't have to pay anyone to do this for you, who may or may not do a half azz job fixing your paint. You will be able to achieve and maintain the appearance of your paint at a one time cost instead of paying someone else over and over again. For the viewer, it's a win-win situation. I have even had guys start their own detailing companies because they successfully followed my instruction on how to learn from the videos that I have been uploading for years.

After all, I hate the hard work involved with detailing and would never do it for a living. That's why I charge so much. Not only am I darn good at it but I hope that no one will ask me to do it for them.

Thanks for watching. I cram a LOT of information into my videos but I do make them fun to watch. That's why the time flies by so fast and you keep clicking on the next video. That's also why you have to take notes. You don't realize how much ground I cover until 2-hours later!
