My car has almost zero miles on it. Somehow the PPF got scratched sitting in my garage. The good news is I was able to get that darn scratch taken care of.

    Rupes is just a name. That LE cordless looks awesome. Cant wait to see a full review on it. 👊🏽👍🏽
  • @sylvainr.399
    10 points to PPF for protecting the paint. 0 point to Matt for not showing us the scratches before working on them…. Still great content, thanks Matt!
  • @mattfrias
    Did you interrogate the dog? Looks like claw scratches 😂
  • @TheMulsanne
    My bet would be that Chase jumped up against the side of the car. Good that you were able to fix it 👍🏻
  • Seeing the battery powered LE 5 inch prototype was the best part about this video. That thing looked smoother and quieter than any of the other battery 5 inch polishers. 🤔

    This is really interesting Matt. I’ve always questioned how to do a spot repair with my coated car. My theory was the same as you did it, but now I see someone actually doing it in practice. Thanks 👍
  • @andrewhurstcars
    Love that Brewster. Could be a cat or a fox whilst it was outside. All the animal scratches I had on my cars were cats. Dogs only jump at cars if there are people they know inside.

    Glad you were able to fix the "unhappy" scratches on the car. As for the Rupes polisher...I will take the Milwaukee any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
  • @willmould3971
    I’m glad you were able to fix. In fact I thought you handled it quite calmly. Kudus! I probably would have lost it for a bit then fixed it.
  • @chiganuggoo9929
    I've had exactly the same marks Matt. Checked my security camera and turns out it was squirrels jumping up onto my car, using the rear quarter as a springboard before they leapt to the garage roof. Their claws are light but sharp and caused the scratches..... always using the same route over the car meant the scratches weren't immediately identifiable as animal damage as they were grouped together..
  • @RayNLA
    One scratch and the PPF paid for itself!
  • @MrAumbra
    I don’t have anxiety but seeing those scratches stressed me the f$#@ out! Glad you were able to clean it up. I’m a huge watch nerd that has spent way too much on watches and I love the Batman Matt! Be careful with the watch collecting, the disease escalates quickly! Lol
  • Glad to see you were able to fix it! Uncle Matty, does your Solo sprayer ever get kinda vacuum locked if that makes sense? About every 30 seconds of use I have to untwist the bottle a little, it’s sucks in air, then it’ll spray again.

    Dog gets an instant ban from this area of the house!

    Matt i've always wondered if you can spot repair and coat like this, this has been my one gripe with a coating, having to re-do an entire panel as most coatings have that darkening effect. keen to see what the transition between new and old coating looks like and water behaviour
