  • Learn how to detail a car with faded, scratched, paint. I will show you how to do paint correction by hand, how to remove swirl marks, how to restore faded trim, how to restore headlights, and finally how to fix sun damaged paint. I got this car for $500 and it wasn't running and was super dirty. Now the car runs and looks dripping wet!

    Hopefully you guys like the video! It's basically 4-5 videos in one with tons of info on how to get your car clean!
    So we can avoid the same comments over and over, check the description for all the links! Also, yes, ChrisFish is me, and not an impostor. It is my second channel I will start this year for when I go fishing, which I love to do. It is my way of still "working" and not feeling bad about going out fishing instead of filming, editing, or answering comments. Now I can do both!

    I have zero car fixing experience, zero dollars, and a 2015 Civic that's looking a little neglected... not a great combination. I was thiiiis close to booking a $400 dollar detailing extravaganza that was supposed to fix all the things addressed because, really, that's still cheaper than a new car. However, you swooped in just in time. Seriously, THANK YOU. This video is the first I've seen that made a color correction and headlight defogging accessible without purchasing hundreds of dollars in products and tools. I'ma fix this sucker myself. :)

      Assuming he makes just 1 dollar per 1000 views on average (in reality it's even more for views coming from western countries), he made as a bare minimum 6 thousand dollars on this video alone, but most likely at least 2 to 4 times as much, so upwards of 10 or even 20 thousand dollars...on just this video alone...and he'll constantly keep getting more views on this video for years and years to come, not including sponsors he gets from time to time, which adds even more. So while it is free to watch, he got more money on this single video, than people in my country get for 4 entire years on an average job, now look at how many views on his other videos he has and do the math. If he asked for money,for example to sell a book with this information, he would make far, far less, so this is a win-win for us as viewers and him as author.

I have a 2019 Ford F-150 that got damaged because it was under a portable garage with concrete blocks tied to the legs to hold it down in Tucson and the wind literally lifted the cover and dragged 2 of the concrete blocks over the truck. Horrible scratches and rub marks from the legs over the passenger side. I've been slowly working out the scratches with 3000 grit sandpaper and am about to move onto 5000 before doing the final compound and polish steps.
    From this video, I learned about the ceramic coating, which I am definitely going to buy and use to rejuvenate all the plastic pieces (the Tucson sun is brutal and faded the plastic quite a bit in just 3 years). I'm now in Oregon where the sun isn't nearly as brutal.

      EvO xNike Chris’s method works great and very affordable but you’re not going to get showroom/show car results. That’s why the guys that use the higher quality and “fancy” products to get that “perfect” mirror finish and the show ready results many pay top dollar for.

      @BKNY FINEST I think it's an all day project w/a dual action polisher as well... I'm surprised he didn't clay it but I guess when you go to town with all that compound, no need.

      @BKNY FINEST plus dual action polishers aren't that expensive, nor hard to use. Do a couple cars with it and it's already paid for itself in your time!

    Hey Chris, I just bought a “beater” like you with the intent of repairing it. Bought a 2007 Acura RDX which was ran beautifully, but the isn’t really aesthetically pleasing. So, it needs paint correction. This video was really help! Amazing video, Always a CHRISFIX Subscriber

    Sir you don't know appreciative I am for this video!!! God bless you man, seriously you explained it SO easily and I love how you did it ALL by hand so we can expect the same exact results! I am 10000% going to be a new subscriber .
    You should like open a shop where people can bring in their own cars and have you teach and oversee their technique, I'd buy a ticket to that class lol
    Seriously though man thank you for everything, I was just about to fork out over a grand on a new paint job before I stumbled across your Chanel, thanks again!
