Jeff Suggs Custom Auto Trim & molding repair "Textured & Smooth"

[Jeff Suggs]

Ron ketchup why are you so against something you have never seen or done yourself. The ETR system you keep going on about is nothing new to me. If it worked why would dealerships, ports, manufacturers and others pay me to go and restore these parts. We all know about that product and it only last for a short time. When I polish textured pieces, am just removing the chemical stains or whatever is on them. This video clearly demonstrates how I restore textured cowl panels and the wiper blades. I have never seen any videos that demonstrate this type of work. Have you ever considered polishing wiper arms. If they were protect with your UV Ray coatings, why do they get so oxidized. I am also using an HD camera, filming 2 inches away from the textured parts repaired. When you get to 4:28 in this video, you can`t deny the results of my work. This is not something everyone has done before, or you would have heard of it on this forum years ago

I was in Japan working on some vehicles at a car show that were damaged with paint overspray. I spent a lot time with the owners of the vehicles. Before I was called for this job, they tried many different detail shops, dealership`s paint department, and others. The normal cleaning method using the clay-bar system would not work. I hear a lot of people on this forum and others talk about how wet-sanding will not void the warranty of a vehicle, they were and still are wrong about that. Think about it, would you buy a new car if they told you that it had been wet-sanded. One of my customer wanted to see my website, so I told him to Google "paint overspray removal companies" and when he did my website and this forum came up on the first page. The thread that came up was me commented on what it takes to be considered a specialist in the overspray removal field. I made some negative comments after everyone else made their same old comments about my work. My customer in Japan viewed the epic thread and told me something that really made sense. He said, do you know these guys? I said no I have never meet any of them. He then said, they are insecure about their own abilities. Those were his words, someone looking at all this from the outside in. I get it, you see something that you have never seen before, or one of your buddies from this forum has not shown you first, so you deny that it works. Not everyone from this forum has made negative comments.

I would like for this forum to remove what they call an epic thread. It makes us all look like a bunch of kids. It also does nothing for this forum other then coming up on Google results for paint overspray removal companies. When someone makes a comment on this forum about me and others view it, the first thing they do after watching my video is go back and check out the person that made the comment. If all that person has is simple slide show videos that don`t really demonstrate their work, they end up looking weak. I loaded these videos so that this forum can still come up on the first page of Google result without using that so called epic thread.

I laugh ever time someone says " I have done this before " There is no oil left on the textured pieces after i polish them. I am holding the camera 2 inches away from the cowl panel. You can clearly see the chemical stains have been removed. The textured pattern has not been altered or burned. In my business am not waiting for work to come through the bay doors, the work is calling me. I repaired 75 new dodge trucks and other vehicles for a dealership near a chemical plant. The plant had an overspray spill and covered the vehicles with a chemical stain that would not wash or simply wax off. I repaired every unit 100 % which includes the trim pieces not tape over them. Why would anyone tape off trim pieces, don`t they get detailed too. I restore them back to factory conditions. If your simply applying some sort of dressing, your covering up these parts, not repairing them. I have the footage of this job of 75 new dodges being repaired from all damage, including all trim & molding pieces. Think about this, instead of being scared of damaging someone`s trim pieces polish them as I do in my videos. This way you can say to your customers that you restored all of their vehicle`s trim parts, not just applied some dressing that only last for days. I can teach you how to buff these parts without damaging them as demonstrated in this video.

You got issues dude, Saying something still gets oxidized even though it has "UV protection" is wrong buddy. You obviously are mis informed. Any UV coatings in plastics are doing just that protecting against harmful ULTRA VIOLET rays.. Water spots and oxidation are completely different.



"Oxidation is defined as the interaction between oxygen molecules and all the different substances they may contact, from metal to living tissue. Technically, however, with the discovery of electrons, oxidation came to be more precisely defined as the loss of at least one electron when two or more substances interact. Those substances may or may not include oxygen. (Incidentally, the opposite of oxidation is reduction — the addition of at least one electron when substances come into contact with each other.) Sometimes oxidation is not such a bad thing, as in the formation of super-durable anodized aluminum. Other times, oxidation can be destructive, such as the rusting of an automobile or the spoiling of fresh fruit."

Thanks for the comment on my YouTube profile, Jeff.... on a video that had nothing to do with detailing or paint restoration, no less.

You mom is going to get mad at you for driving her car like. You have no clue of auto paint restoration.

You are now blocked from commenting on my channel. Congratulations!

I knew I recognized Suggs from somewhere

This guy is a child in an adults body, I`m not sure what the admins continue to let him post here. He posts videos as advertising and doesn`t answer questions directly. Overall he provides no positive benefit to the community here.

This forum is all about sharing our work with each other, not down grading someone you don`t even know. Danny boy why are you commenting about me, this is how it all started. Members of this forum started linking my videos to this site, and like you talked real big behind their key boards. Why don`t you show us all some of your work, talk is cheap. I would have never even thought of commenting on Autopia if the members didn`t keep making their own comments. I let it go for 2 years. As far as posting on this site, at least am posting some actual working being preformed in the videos. When it comes to the question of UV protection on auto trim pieces , yes they have it. After several years in the hot sun and car washes the coating wears off. This is why you see all these parts on vehicles faded and very dry. Sense you guys don`t have any videos that demonstrate what an trying to get thru to you, I have hundreds like this one. If you going to make comments about anyone`s work, your really should have some of your own to back up what your saying about people. This video is all about textured door handles, mirrors, door trim and heavily oxidized back air vents on SUVs. All these pieces repaired in this video had no more UV protection left on them. Take the time today and just look at new and older vehicle`s trim & molding pieces, and you will notice that there all fade & oxidized. This is why I polish them, to remove the damage.

Mr. Suggs, with all do respect, this is a place to showcase work or ask for help from other detailers on there personnel daily drivers. There are some very good pictures and some video`s on here displaying there before`s and afters. Some post the products used some don`t. "Sense" some of us do this for a living why would I show my competitors exactly how I do my work? I`ll before`s and afters of the area in question. Most "PRO" detailers do treat trim on there details if you search you will see the dramatic transformation on damaged trim.

This vehicle has severe Protective Marine Coatings paint overspray damage. The door trim pieces are heavily oxidized and covered with overspray. They are basically made of tape. This vehicle is a great example of UV protection that has worn of after several years. The fact of the manner is UV protection or not, they are heavily damaged from the sun. The only way to remove this type of paint overspray from trim pieces that are covered with tape is my blading process. If you tapes off trim pieces then you would be unable to repair these parts of the vehicle. For that manner if these parts are not restored the overall the look of the vehicle is not good. My customer would not sigh off on my release form that releases the insurance companies from any further liability if their moldings were left untouched. I warranty my work 100%, that means if any part of a customer`s vehicle is damage from my repairs, Its on me. I always let my customers know that I carry a one million dollar insurance policy for their protection. Always hit the quality change on any video you view, so that you can clearly see the work preformed.

On a serious note, Jeff, why are you still posting videos to this thread? You have posted 10 as of this point and each one of them shows the exact same thing.



Maybe other forums don`t understand what you`re doing, but this one does. It`s called SPAM, which Wikipedia defines as "the use of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited bulk messages, especially advertising, indiscriminately."



Your posts (here and from other threads I have viewed) have offered zero information and not once have you appropriately responded to a question that anyone has asked, you merely post another video which does nothing to prove any points you may be trying to make. The way in which you chose to respond is never beneficial and has (in the past) been unethical and unprofessional, which is probably why you were banned from MeguiarsOnline.



The ONLY reason you continue to post these videos is so they get more "views" on YouTube and show up on search engines. I’m not going to comment on your videos/technique/presence as it seems you are UNABLE to communicate in a fashion that doesn’t involve self-promotion or degradation of others. I’m also not saying others have appropriately responded here (or in the past), so don’t think that I’m being biased.



You can chose to respond to threads appropriately or continue to bash detailers and post more videos, further proving your unprofessionalism and disproving any of your techniques/procedures used.



Have a nice day.

Just watched your vid Jeff. Sorry to burst your bubble but I`m not the least bit impressed with your work as you appear to be. Your polishing skills in particular are abhorrent as illustrated in this pic







Even with your selective photography you can easily see holograms present in the paint which will only worsen once your polish wears off from covering it up. You need to get over yourself.

[Jeff Suggs]

I can respect what your saying, simply post it. I am not here to down grade anyone, but if your going to talk about someone`s work then you should post you own to let us all know if even have a clue. I do this for a living and have no problem demonstrating in grade detail of how I do things while the customer is observing the process. When it comes to showing your competitors your work, what is the difference. They are buffing cars the same way you are, with a foam pad and whatever products they use. There are no secrets being withheld when it comes to buffing cars, removing scratches. These repairs have been done for many years, nothing new just different products. If this is place to showcase work, then the members should post there work and back up there comments. I sure would like to see something that I have never seen before. This is the part i just don`t understand, I have posted work that no one else has ever preformed. I know this because if they had it would have been on this forum or somewhere on the net. I am the only person that has demonstration videos of Protective Marine Coatings paint overspray removal. Auto trim repair from severe overspray damage. I am sharing this with members on this forum that want to see it. Here is some aluminum restoration work that I did for a fuel tanker company.
