Junkman's "How to Completely Repair Your Paint Damage - The Videos!

Junkman2008

Hey boys and girls, long time no see! With that said, I created a video series on how to do paint correction using a machine for novices shortly after the last time I was here. Somehow, I never posted that video series over here. That was around 2012. Since then, that series has had over a million views. I accidentally deleted those videos from my Youtube channel but someone had saved them and sent them back to me. I combined all of those videos into one video and that is what this tread is all about.

I would have never known that those videos were gone until a LOT of people started asking about them. I didn't realize how popular they still are given how old they are but after going through and editing annotations within them, I realized that the information contained within them is just as relevant today as it was back then. So I am going to post that video here for everyone to enjoy and partake in the knowledge being offered.

If you have been apprehensive about putting a polisher on your paint, this video is definitely one you want to watch. I break this process down to grade school level and if you can't successfully fix your paint with a machine after watching this video, you never tried. I guarantee that you will have success if you do what I show in this video and the video will prove that too you. All you have to do is watch and take notes.

There is no discount codes, special offers or product list associated with this video as there are A TON of different products that you can use to do what I do in this video. Some of you will have products sitting in your garages right now that will more than work. Some of you may have even purchased products that didn't work for you, despite praise from other folks. It could be the product or it might be YOU. This video is going to answer that question for you.


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!

Junkman,
You really are a paint care junkie. Ive never seen anyone that cares about
a cars finish as much as the junkman lol.
I was a bit disappointed you dont do this as a side job. My Z could use the junkmans paint correction and such.
Keep up the good work!

Junkman2008

If I did this as a side job, nobody would come see me because my prices are high! Just to give you an idea, I did a 57' Corvette for a guy. I told him it would be $2000 and I would need the car for 3 weeks. That's just for the outside of the car. About the only folks who come see me are the Jay Leno's!

However, I'll show you how to do it for free.

Thanks for the videos will look at it next year when I clay and polish in a year. I just did everything last week. I would of never bought a porter cable without seeing your other video about how easy and safe it is.

Awesome videos AJ!

I have always been nervous about using porter cable (though all my friends have them) but after seeing your videos, it seems very easy to use. I think that's on my list of things

Like I said in the beginning of this thread, you should never have to do this entire process more than once, ever. The only thing you should have to do is use a last step polish like Adam's Fine Machine Polish, Meguiar's M205 (or #9) or Z5. You should be following all of my practices on how to touch your paint.

You do wax regularly, correct?

Once you see the results that you get from the polisher, you'll kick yourself for not doing it sooner.

I bought one and used it on black cherry paint-worked like a charm. I also took some automotive tech classes which rec the porter cable-no worries! Watch Junkman videos and you will be A-OK!

Junkman2008

On your color car, the maintenance is going to be much easier as the damage will not show as easy. You can get away with a lot.

Love the videos. Semper Fi Brother!

I've always owned a black car. Just love the looks when its got the spit and polish going. Bought my first white car ever. Wanted your input on how to make that 2012 pearl white have that wet look. Just like susie rotten crotch.

lol!

Here's the deal with white paint. It is no different than any other color on the planet. White paint will damage the exact same way as black paint. Anything that is bad for black paint is just as bad for white paint. There is no difference. If you improperly care for a black car and do the exact same thing to a white car, the damage will be identical. It may be harder to see but trust me it's there.

So what do you do with a white car? The same exact thing that you do to any color car. The product in the bottle has no clue what color your car is and thus, it's going to do what it does regardless. So if it is a excellent product for a black car, you can bet that it is just as good for a white car. When you think about it, that is just common sense.

Really good intel. I salute you sir! ok, so after reading your post, I happened to go by the auto store and just happen to catch a bottle of polish that is suppossed to be for Dark colored cars? Scam? Is there such a thing. I've never bought any, just noticed the adverticement. I've been using stuff from Griots for years. Worked well so far.

Thanks again for all your time and support.

I am glad someone cares enough about others to put this kind of instructions on video and give it away for free. That's great man!

I have 20 20 vision and I had a hard time seeing any swirl marks in sunlight, my dim garage, or under my 500 watt lights. I did see a couple fine scratches but I had to position my sight with the right angle of light. My black b pillars were different and I could see scratches in any lighting. But I still wanted to clay and polish my z. But it's true silver hides the impurfections.

It's a gorgeous car. If I had the room for another show car in my garage, I'd buy one. I am not a performance junkie as some folks are, I'm more of a cruiser. I could cruise a Z all night long as it probably gets great gas mileage. Plus, that one sharp looking ride, as all the Z's have been through the years.

Watched almost all of your videos but one thing i didnt see was how are you cleaning the pads after use?

Okay after browsing through more of your youtube videos i found you use the gritguard pad washer. Its expensive so it wont be in my near future but maybe later.
