Get out ANY scratch? A buffing trick -- from Yvan Lacroix

I want to tell everyone about an amazing

trick

while mixing paint, you can reach almost all

scratch

es. It's something that Ivan la Croix taught during a recent op decoding certification training and I want to tell you about the five five five method for removing deep

scratch

es now you may ask, well why do I care? Well, look at this, can you see what I see through some of the residue? Those deep lines, the scratches. I hope you can and then take a look at this panel. I've probably gotten rid of about 90% of the scratches. I was a little less aggressive here.

I'm not really sure what this plastic substrate is, so I tried it with a light polish, so I left a little bit here. I actually didn't use compound on this particular surface because I wanted to be safer rather than apologetic, right, it's compound paint and the last thing you want to do is mess something up. Don't ask me how I know, but there is a little. to the left here, to the right, so we don't get to perfection. I'm actually going to cover this panel, but when you look at the scratches like here, there, there, right there, you can see that scratch there, so it's a new Ford Raptor, but the scratches. along both sides are real, the owner drove through a wooded area and said it was for a real estate house he was showing and it was a surprise that he went there and he wouldn't do it again so I said hello .

The coating won't prevent nasty scratches like this if you take it through the woods again, but he assured me it was a one-time thing. I do not sell scratch resistant coatings, although they are somewhat scratch resistant, just use common. sense, so I'm going to show you a little bit about the method five five five right now five. I'm going to put about five pounds of pressure, but I'll only do it for five seconds. We call this the five five five minutes. I have a car, there is no need to patch up the entire vehicle, there are only 10-12 scratches on the car, why patch up the entire surface when there are only 10-12 scratches?

Just combine those 10 or 12 scratches and in Polish, the risk level is enough so that we can I have a deeper scratch, this one is here, I'll see, what is this one or yeah, okay, I don't want to remove that scratch, okay, I want to round that scratch so it's less noticeable to the other person what I'm doing. What I'm going to do with the 5 5 5 method is I'm going to apply 5 pounds of pressure for 5 seconds, that's beef fat. Do you want 5 pounds of pressure rate? I'm sorry I do not want. I want the backing plate to keep spinning if it stops.

Increasing the pressure again, but it turns out to be about 5 pounds compared to my finger underneath, so to me that's a lot of pressure and then speed 5 instead of speed 3, but for 5 seconds I won't create any. The heat is before it generates heat, so I'm not damaging the paint and I'm only doing half of this, so we see before, so I rounded it off, but now I have this micro mark area right, yeah, nobody. reduce the appearance of that scratch, there's no doubt about it now it initially destroyed you to see that that's something like okay, step one - okay, yes dad - make it look worse that shouldn't scare you, but I know why What was someone who has speed three standard and Opti protocol?

Okay, yeah, so we round it up. We no longer have that white that looks better and we have introduced the thickness of the paint. You know, I have my hyper compound on the pad. I could hit speed three now, that's much better. I don't know if these lights help or hurt. Okay, it won't help. Do you see well? You see there, follow my finger and then obviously you can see the scratches. there, there, right there, what else do I see here? I see that scratch still underneath so now I'm going to show you the five five five method according to Ivan Lacroix, his instructions and probably cut by me speed five five pounds of pressure which I don't think I'm the right person to teach that and five seconds for you to choose. your place because you're obviously going to heat up the paint doing this, you don't want to heat it up too much so let's just say it's really obvious.

Scratch here and I'll do a speed of five five pounds of pressure for five seconds. I don't know if you can see that, let's check the scratches there. I'm trying to focus the light well so you can follow it, yeah. The scratches right there are there and if they're still there they're very minuscule, but in that spot five five five on our damping rag, okay, so the paint is pretty dry now I can still see a scratch, a scratch, a scratch here and then it disappears and then. the scratches reappear it's not as bad here where I composed compared to here or I haven't touched it but this is clearly the method so the way I do this is like I just turn it into a very slow acceleration in speed five because if you have a lot of ground to cover, you want to respect that method and do it the way that I haven't told you, so I don't want to reinvent it, but if you have a lot of ground to cover, yes, you can do five and then. movement, I was just doing like five seconds five seconds five seconds and I mean, for me this is better than sanding and apparently it's safe and I mean, I'm just afraid of pushing the limits, but for five seconds speed five five pounds of pressure you can do that and there is the finished product.

I don't see scratches, you might not see scratches here, but you might want the direct sunlight test, so let's walk around, let's look at direct sunlight now, perfection, that's not it. it's going to be perfection
