Finally! Ever since I've been subscribed to this channel I've always wanted to see what level 8 and 9 will do to phone screens.

@fishpaste yes I am lol

bruh you are that og mr bean guy

Why even get out of bed for a level 9?! Wake me up when at level 12, no less! (a Benjamin J. Cowen reference ;) 😆 😂 🤣

The Nexus 6P durability test, which was the point where this channel blew up and also the point where I started following, had both 8 and 9!

Fes f

After so long on YouTube there is no need to write “no click bait” as we know you are the most genuine youtuber ever

But every other video in this search term IS. I think that's why

The only channel I can think of that is more genuine would be TGF bro. They barely ever clickbait.

Yea and he didn’t write “no click bait”.

All these years of watching Zach and yet I wasn't fully prepared for level 8 and level 9.

I definitely didn't expect him to take it there!

LoL

@yuoop noke At least do not leave any diamonds (level 10) in your pocket..

Now all that remains is to have a pocket with deeper grooves at an impossible level of money to realize such things.

Genius. Hopefully these machines will become cheaper, smaller, and more popular in repair shops. So complex yet so simple

@vangledosh How does this work with the oliphobic coating etc like on Samsung screens?

You could do it yourself on a polish wheel. Many gemstone cutters will have this so they can shape and polish opal, diamond, sapphire etc

I'd be interested to see the damage that leaving a device in this machine for far too long would cause, and what impact on shatter resistance that process has.

The world will change when he starts saying "Scratches at level 7 with deeper grooves at level 8".

That day will never come

That day is already here.

@Jason your comment is stolen

Yet another fascinating video Zack! Thanks for going on a field trip and making a useful video. I liked how you even placed the phrase, "Not Clickbait", in your video title. After the years of you released solid, honest content I really didn't think you needed to do so, yet one never knows with YouTube...

For those who don’t know. Cirium oxide it what we use to remove scratches from windshields. Typically caused by windshield wipers… but it’s very difficult to use.

Technically if you run it in the machine enough times you should be able to remove level 9 depending on how thick the screen is since the machine is just removing a small layer each time.

Zach, can you try to use the resin that is used in windshield repair kits to fix the level 8 and 9, and then polish again on the machine. Do you think it will work?

Hi Zack! Thank you for reviewing the grinding and polishing machine. The scratch-removing level in your video definitely offers a valuable reference. We really appreciate that!

@Desired Heusta SFM you can buy it. works great. But I do think this machine is better

@YellowFTO Yeah, why not grind on phones all day OR you can prep and let the machine run the cycle. I don't know about you, but I could have employees doing other shit than slave labor like that. 2-5K is NOTHING compared to paying somebody a wage JUST to run your harbor freight BS.

The machine only costs $2k, what an absolute baragin. I mean its not like you can use a car valeting mop and polishing compound to do the exact same thing for under $100 with results just as good, lol

@KINGxUNITED on the phone screen, car polishing works?

@Justas Tulpe uhhhhhh plz don’t ever open a business I don’t think you’re cut out for it

This is super interesting. Good work Zack.

@PizzaBeerd LMAO

Thanks

@Zack Wooden nice one.

@Zack Wooden good job zack

@Zack Wooden LMAOOO

So out of curiosity can you remove the coating that protects glass against finger prints and reapply ? If so will this step alone hide some scratches ?

I'd be interested in using this to get the scratches off of my phone honestly, the only worry I have is by making the glass thinner it could crack more easily. BUT at the same time you're getting rid of those weakpoints so maybe it wouldn't?

The iconic “scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7”

The amount of times he says that is what makes it so iconic just like @Alan Martinez, said it needs a shirt

I'd definitely risk my phone for even the small 1-2mm scratch in the middle of the screen it currently has. I wish I had access to that machine!

I don't think it's too much of a risk with the UV glue in place. So many phones these days are water resistant that I don't think the glue is even needed in most cases

One more important thing- removing a layer of the screen thickness just making it more thinner, that mean easier to crack! But gluing of glass screen protector just improve durability of the screen!

i doubt a few microns of glass will make it notecably more vunerable

You are a modern day hero! Thanks for doing what you do. 🇺🇸🤙🔥

I wasn't physically prepared for how brutal the level 9 scratches were.

@M.Mohtasim Hossain Graphite is harder than Daimond therefore it woud be a level 11.

@Cay9s there is no level 11, cuz diamond being level 10 is the hardest material on earth

@Cay9s the glass would probably shard in piece like it would fall on the floor. Like videos where a diamond drop on glass destroy the glass

Level 9 scratches lagged

@LoganOnline scratch that universe you shall

I would think in my typical cases you’d want to power it down first just so you don’t get a bunch of mistaken button presses.

Thanx for the video. Any suggestion on small Level 8 scratches (or more like dots/grooves) on the screen? How they can be removed or filled?

Where do you get that liquid coating?

My phone has loads of scratches from years of abuse, some pretty deep from drops that you can feel. But none are visible when the screen is on. Screen protectors just seem to reduce the sharpness and add extra reflections and fingerprints, they arent worth it imo.

3 things that are certain in life 1. Death 2. Taxes 3. Zack saying “scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7”

@🌞Ethan Loves Meth💨 Shut Up 💖💝

plastic and sapphire screens: am I a joke to you

"taxes" lmaoooo

@🌞Ethan Loves Meth💨 Ok, Wario lookin ass..

The problem with this machine is that, by removing a thin layer of glass, you not only lose the oleophobic coating, but, also, makes the glass thinner, in other words, more likely to crack in a fall

Damn that's true.

I have a scratch on my 2020 iPad Pro 11 inch right in the middle of my screen 😭 Is there anyway to remove this micro scratch? I hope so🤞

Very informative and good thing to know something like this exists! Thanks for sharing!

The actual depth of those level 6 scratches is microscopic but due to the highly polished surface it’s very easy to see due to changes in the refraction properties of the glass in that area. If you made the same mark on, say a matte plastic surface you wouldn’t even be able to see it. For this reason I don’t believe it will compromise the strength in any meaningful way. The level 9 groove has actually removed a substantial amount of glass rather than just disrupting the refractive properties of the glass, so the buffer machine would probably never be able to buff it out

This is like a CMP machine used in semiconductor chip manufacturing, very cool!

Damn this is exciting, I hope one day soon we'll all just be able to resurface our phones easily at random shops lol

So as of today we learnt the new taxonomy of scratches : Level 6: scratches Level 7: deeper grooves Level 8: gauges Level 9: scores

@Reiner Marquez diamonds are literally used as glass cutters

@Win Embedded POSReady 11 Yes, his tool tip will be diamond and can difinitely cut glass.

@Shuvadeep Dey this is YouTube, not Tinder.

Hi Dolita. Where are you from beautiful?

Level 10: straight up cuts

Had almost all my phones without protectors, only phone with a protector was a Sony Ericsson Xperia - the first ever. The protector was so shitty that I scrapped it and today a s9 and 4 years in use, the front glass is perfect , well those non visible scratches, but the back glass is broken on several corners and cracked in different directions. But for a conclusion, the phone is still a practical piece of hardware and it doesn't really lose its practicality with those scratches. I've made a mend with myself not to throw my phones and If I do, I'll cover the costs - you can hold the shit on a stick for just so long until it drops. I'll better enjoy the outer dimensions and the visual aesthetics as long, rather than cover it with something

The perfect time for this video. I need this machine !! After 4 years I got my first phone scratch & I'm sad but I have hope now thanks I'm looking for stores that can do it for me

I thought the machine was going to be $100,000 But apparently you too can own this machine for the low low cost of two iPhones! ($3,400)

Hmmm yes, this machine that spins a polishing pad must cost as much as a ferrari or small airplane. makes sense

Good price considering how useful this would be for repair shops.

Or you could just buy a screen protector for $5

@Jake G not me. Cause I always expect this to happen. Never jump on cool tech quickly ;)

@Tyler Deleringo Sure but thats a huge discount in that short amount of time. Id actually be kinda mad if I paid 3400 lol.

Doesn't this remove the ceramic coating?

Hi Jerry, do you maybe know if it's possible to get rid of permanent spots and wipes on the screen ? i don't know if you know this but i noticed that if i use swipe gestures, quite quickly it leaves permanent wipes on the glass and now i also noticed this issue by using the under scree fingerprint scanner. i can clean my screen as much as i want, it stays visable.

You always have new technology,no one have❤️

Can you please link the oleophobic coating liquid I have never seen that anywhere on YouTube and I would love to get my hands on some to recoat my phone

Art class with Jerry is always welcome even if it hurts to watch

@🌞Ethan Loves Meth💨 the what-

Some art straight on your phone

It’s not hurting me to watch it 🤣🤣🤣

And to listen

@🌞Ethan Loves Meth💨 And I thought birds are fake government drones smh

Does it compromise the structural integrity of the glass?

Remember, use protection when dealing with deeper grooves :>

I have tried crystal armor fusso oleophobic coating in past and it did work well. However, I am looking for the same or better grade US/UK based alternatives. I know its a simple Amazon search but because I'd have to have it imported all the way to Pakistan to find out it's useless so please drop a reply if you have used any oleophobic coatings and let me know how they age! Thanks

So is it okay to consider that level 8 and 9 damages are on the same level just as the cracked lcd glass of a phone? Just curious tho.

This is a historic moment. We have finally made it to the level 8 and level 9. It brings same satisfaction as beating a video game.

He's brought them out for multiple phones.

Lv 10 pick: Jedi sword red-hot gouge

He has said it before for the HTC Sapphire phone

he’s brought them out before for sapphire displays

Does anyone know where to get that oleophobic coating from? Or what it is? I have tried so many different things because my phones become fingerprint magnets within a month!!!

I got a weird idea for level 8 and 9 scratches. I remember seeing videos of people fixing windshields in cars. There's a liquid that i guess fills in the chip in the windshield. U think they'd work on big scratches like level 8/9?

This is great, all phone repair shops should invest in one of these, faaaar cheaper than replacing screens, and easier. I'm wondering if there is a worthwhile way of removing nicks from the phone, where it was dropped on say concrete and it's not scratches per se but little divets and pits, maybe fill up the holes with some sort of acrylic glass of some sort.

Hi Jerry, Do you know any method for removing scratches from ION-glass? (Iwatch 4)

From now on Zach s phones won't be crying at level 6 and 7

ت🍓✨

60th

59th

First

Honestly, if a phone repair shop gets one of these definitely could recover the found in a year.

I always put a glass screen protector on my iPhone. Over 6 years, once it did sustain some damage where I had that green line up and down. I could have lived with it but decided to get the screen replaced because it was driving me nuts!

This is a great tutorial, I would totally buy a 3K dollar machine for shits and giggles because I want to get rid of the scratches from my screen 😁

You cant just remove a layer of glass each time it gets scratched. It would be soo thin. Seems fine for one time tho.

I had the feeling of witnessing something revolutionary epic when he used the level 8,9 scratch tools.

He used it before on sapphire phones. Watch his sapphire phone test.

@Isaac Ong No stop, it's already dead!

He should have done level 10

He uses diamonds to crack an iphone screen in an older video if you want the peak

@Matthew McEwen yeah, most knifes only got to level 5 - 5,5

Much more faster,cheaper , safe for the screen and with better result is to glue glass screen protector with UV glue to the scratched screen. The glue has same optical values like a screen glass ,it will fill the scratches completely and the result always is perfect.

I sent my S8 back in the days to a company which does this for a living. My 3 cm scratch were gone, after paying 25 EUR. Totally worth it!

Me watching this in the shower: Yeah I’d probably risk it.

Uhm

Oh no😅 Be careful!

What happens if you just leave it running till it takes the entirety of the glass screen of?

Not even a few seconds into the video, and Jerry has already said “Level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7”

@Lena Cheney Yea just said Jerry for new ppl

Total 20 time he told that

You mean Zach lol

Disappointing comment I want some originality

@Curry untrue

After college I worked in a lens lab. We used similar abrasives to polish glasses.

Good engineers bring awesomes working tools for the professionals of phone repairs. I guess, if prices of a such a task is reasonnable, it could influence people in a more durable way, choosing to repair instead of buy new. Edit : but, i think it would be a smart thing to know what the exact thinning measuring is for every type of glass per minutes of use. Cause in the end, i guess it may damage the screen or make it tactily unresponsive (for the little i could guess of phone glass)

I'm not sure if this is worth it over a new screen... I guess what engineers could do is a way to have the front glass independant from the screen, but everyone has sexy phone mentality...

Would be interesting to see if the scratches would disappear using the same technic they used on car windows.

I would risk it if you want to call it a risk… properly sealed it is no issue at all… excellent idea great job to the engineers. Repair instead of replacing!!

I can still see the scratches!!! Oh wait, that's on my screen.

Sierauß!

Lmao😆

L😂😂😂😂😁😁

😂

Hahahahah 😅😂😅😂 Get @JerryRigEverything to get rid of the scratches for you. I hope they are level 7 scratches

When jerry writes no clickbait ismt it kinda redundant cause we all know he never clickbaits

Thank you for addressing the chunk taken out at a level 7.

This morning I saw my old phone with a deep scratch and I thought “Hey, JerryRigEverything should do a how to remoce scratches…video…” and then this showed when I open YT. Technology is getting weird and scary.

Not sure how you are about answering questions from your comments but here goes @JerryRigEverything, where did you get and what is the oleophobic coating you used? There is obviously a limit to how many times this can be done, what is the recommendation on a limit or number? Does this process affect the hardness rating of the glass? It makes it thinner so does that change the rating or would it take 10x to affect it or 18x?

Zack: Removes scratches from screen without changing glass Phone repair service: "Impossible"

Apple: "Wait that's illegal"

Masaka!

Zach*

Apple and Samsung genius bar: "Impossible"

Moral of the story - Spending $2k on a machine can be avoided by using a $5 screen protector

6:40 that looks so oddly fake, with how the glass is practically pivoting out from the pressure as pressure is applied. Amazing stuff.

I think for level 8 should be procedure like that 1. Use rough sandpaper and then everytime using finer sandpaper. 2. Put it into this machine and show the result

I’ve been wanting to see him scratch the screen at a level 8 and 9 for soooo long 🤣

The "Scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7." Has stuck in my head forever. It lives there rent free.

and "glass is glass, and glass breaks."

@Preston Sims exactly what I was thinking

@Aventador yall are 🤡🤡🤡 This was clearly a compliment

What about curved displays like galaxy edge phones? Would it just do the flat part?

How do you remove the UV-hardened goo from the earpiece?

I'm just worried if the voltage not potentially harm any of the internals?

Anyone know where he got that oleophobic coating? I would love to have some.

6:42 Finally I saw the level 8 and 9 I can sleep peacefully now 😴

@一新名2021 yeah but we didn't saw the scratching tool. That was a diamond holder.

He's also done level 10 as well before, watch his other video titled "Diamond vs iPhone - Ultimate Scratch test "

One con is that by removing scratches you make the phone screen thinner and way easier to crack when dropped

everyone knows a moment in time where time itself will break is when jerry rig everything says "they start at level 7 with deeper grooves at level 8"

The "home made" version of this is to the the cerium oxide and use a small polisher (for car paint) and do the same process. It's used on car glass to remove smaller swirls and scratches.

Can you please shed some more light or link me to some good videos on this?. I have a vague idea of what you're saying but I'd like more details. Also, any idea of the UV curing oleophobic coating?

I wonder if filling the deeper gauges with a windshield repair type resin, and then putting it through the polisher would make it look brand new

the resin would probably mess with the touch screen though

_Exam question: Define Glass._ *_Glass is an object that scratches with Mohs hardness picks at Level 6 with deeper grooves at Level 7._*

@Lucas Miller :00000

Don't forget to mention the second definition or you will get a mark-down!: "Glass is glass, and glass can break."

@Lucas Miller No way!

That's true for this hardened glass. But there are glass types with different hardness levels.

They've been using these machines for years, it's how they make used phone screens look new

I did this with toothpaste and a microfiber towel. Looked brand new as far as I could tell after a bit of polishing

This video title really should had been 'Removing scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7' as this is probably the most famous line in Jerry's videos

Sooo.. I went from crying from wanting a legit video that fixes screens to crying in broke 🤣 😭 😭

I've been waiting to see this machine in action

I did not expect you to be here

he is gonna buy one now lol

Are you here??

Me too man

@COMTAN not for a business

But aren’t you making the glass weaker by removing one layer of glass?

What glue do you use to seal the device?

Him: "okay so lets wait another 5 minutes" 25 minutes later Also him: "okay lets see what's happened"

The scratching at 06:34 and 06:42 looks like a delay time effect, the scratches are taking place after the pencil thing has moved forward 😲😱

Zack's terminology: Level 6 - scratches Level 7 - deeper grooves Level 8 - gouges Level 9 - score

Level 17 - ehhh

Level 16 - bruh

Level 9000 - Kamehameha

Level 16- hell hole

Level 10- Crazy Diamond :v

wow this is amazing. Your phone has a coating that keeps your fingerprints off? Holy shit I am jealous.

You know it’s real when it comes to this guy. Should do a video on what scratch’s your phone *pocket edition*

Fun fact: The machine also scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7

Such satisfying results!

Hey Zach, you should try filling the lvl 8 and 9 gouges and scores with UV resin / glass filler and then putting it throuh the resurfacer, I bet that would almost vanish the marks. Especially if you could vaccuum out and air bubbles before curing the resin. I hope to see this in a video some day.

I don’t know why but I'm very curious to see what happens when you keep running it till the whole front glass is gone. Anybody with me here?🤐
