Questions & Answers

Each one serves a different purpose? Would it be worth the price to buy it?

Similar to the way different grades of sandpaper work on wood, they work on paint and clearcoat in about the same way. Your car's paint will be cleaned after using a first abrasive compound to remove noticeable imperfections. you will notice obvious swirl marks all over your car if you attempt this. Do you ever notice that if the light hits a car at the right angle, there are obvious orbital buffer marks on the sides? That's because the detailer only completed the first step and then waxed the vehicle. For this reason, you move on to the next compound that is less abrasive in order to remove the marks that were left by the previous compound. Using each successive compound you smooth the paint a little more, until it is a smooth glass-like surface Surface like that of a snowflake. I think it's a bit of a hassle. Each step of the polishing process will probably take you an hour, even if you use an orbital polisher. If you don't have a pair of forearms that would make Popeye jealous, you will definitely need an orbital polisher. It is important to remember that the paint on your car will only look its best if it is as smooth and blemish-free as possible If you are going to wax, make sure the surface is as free as possible. Adding wax to the paint will only protect the surface. There will be nothing better about it, except that for a few days, it will seem shinier. With this procedure, your car can remain beautiful for several weeks or even Having a 13-year-old Audi with black paint (which is the hardest paint to keep looking good) is hard for me. The procedure I do on my car has been ongoing since it was brand new, and people continue to compliment me on how nice my car still Note that sometimes the heavier compounds don't need to be used more than You should be able to skip the first one or two steps of this package and only need to use the lighter compounds on subsequent detail jobs if you get the paint smoothed out and take care of it (wash and wipe it with decent quality microfiber cloths only). It won't make sense to buy a large bottle of the heavy duty stuff because of that.

Do you think you can detail a lot of cars with 4oz?

As for me, I've just done a comparison with other products, and in general, the off-white color is not as noticeable as the white color. This is the These small bottles hold 8 ounces of polish or glaze. The bottle of this is half that size. I do a full car detail twice a year and get 3 or more years out of this product. It takes 6 people to fill 6 Depending on how many full details you get out of each bottle in this kit, I predict you'd get three or four full details.

What order should I follow when using the three products? Which is the first, and which is the second?

It depends on the condition of the car paint on what kind of product to order. It is important to keep in mind that the lower the number of the product, the stronger it is, and therefore it will correct more marks and water stains in the paint. In the alternative, you could also create new brands for the paint if it didn't need to use such a strong product. In order to maximize the paint's integrity, it is best to start (by looking and feeling at the paint), with the softest product (with the highest number), so that you can increase if necessary without affecting the paint.

This compound and polish is really disappointing
3/5

As a professional refinisher with over ten years of experience using compounds and polishes, I know what I'm doing. The water is weak in this case The product is a water-based compound that is incapable of removing actual sanding marks and Starting at 600 grit and going up to 3000 grit of sandpaper, I prepare my lacquer and poly finishes the right way. This system was an impulse buy but like so many other water-based or ceramic systems it cannot compound out sand marks, in fact today after I used a real compound (Menzerna Paste from JESCAR) it could only remove very light swirl To make it clear I was using a high speed polisher for compounding and then I was using a Random Orbital polisher on low speed for polishing and glazing. Chemical Guys' products are too weak to be used on basic poly as well as standard NC lacquers. Eventually, I cleaned up the piece and went back to the products that actually work, a wool pad coated in Menzerna Paste and a foam pad sprayed I was left with a completely smooth, scratch free surface after 15 minutes with only a quick wipe needed to clean it up.

Bottom line Water based is for people who don't know that it stinks. According to the product description, this is an optical quality product. The meaning of that is whatever it is. I would like to mention ***Side Their 5-inch foam pads and pad conditioner were both very good products, and I was very pleased with both of them. The glaze pads and pad cleaners are my new favorite supplies, and I will use them often.

As far as I am concerned, it worked great for me
5/5

I always pay attention to detail on any car, and I did so on my 2012 Audi A7 in particular. My car's paint was generally in good condition, but it had a lot of water spots, a lot of swirl marks and some Because of the positive reviews of the products, I decided to try them. In the end, I spent two and a half days on the job and I was extremely satisfied with the results. Even before I had gone beyond the compounding, I saw that I was going to get a very good paint finish and so I used the V36 and the V38 when applying them to the entire vehicle. No bond was formed between the two compounds. was easy using the Porter Cable 7424XP Polisher to put it on and take it off. The orange Country Lake pad for the V36 was used on the V38, while the white pad for the V36 was used on the It was very evident that the defects had been removed. I was pleasantly surprised by the color and brilliance of the black paint applied following the subsequent products. attached image shows what the surface looked like before I applied any Füzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax, but in reality, I wish I had waited until it was protected rather than used it. I now need to purchase a cover for the Audi because every little spec of dust or imperfection shows up so clearly against such a black finish. It's going to be hard to maintain my perfect finishing unless I act now. If you are interested, I have attached my protocol.

I am amazed
5/5

After the leather, we came to the canvas. Thanks a lot to the Chemical Guys for such great Almost 8 years old with 125K miles, the Sequoia is in good condition otherwise. Over the past few years, the paint has been fading and oxidizing badly. Several washings have taken place, and the detailing has taken place several times as well. For the past few years, every detailer has said that the paint is gone and that the truck must be painted in order to return that shine and new car appearance to the truck. The TORQ Tool Company BUF501X 10FX kit as well as the following products are what I purchased a few months ago Please note Br>- GAP_VKIT_16 V Line Polish and Compound Kit (16 oz) (V32, 34, 36 and V38)* by Chemical Guys The Chemical Guys BUF_301_16 Polishing & Buffing Pad Conditioner +br Complete Leather Care Kit by Chemical Guys SPI_109_16 Leather Cleaner and Conditioner* - The results speak for themselves. Chemical Guys WAC_201_16 Butter Wet Wax (16 oz)

It was a LONG 2 days, but the results were amazing. Start the car by washing it with only water and then scrubbing it with soap. We started with the V32, then moved on to the V36, then the V38, then we finished with

I've included some before and after pictures of the door (oxidized VS finished) and the door on its interior side. The difference between Butter Wet Wax and V38 is just between the two There are far fewer reflections as you can see. I am amazed. It was then time to talk about leather. The difference between the two is incredible. It has been about 8 months since the last time the seats were cleaned (expensive name brand from an This is the cleanest they've ever been! Here is a photo of the hood. This is the worse part about the oxidizing, since when you look at the hood, you can clearly see the Chem Guys #customerforlife #lookslikenew
THANK YOU!.

I would never have expected it to work this well
5/5

Our garage entry trim (white) was side swiped by my wife's car (a dark It just ate my lunch since I'm a car guy. The white paint on brown looked horrible because it had been scratched. We were fortunate to not have been damaged in any way. Although I have never really tried buffing deep scratches out, I thought it might be worth a shot in this case. Buying this kit and borrowing my dad's random orbital buffer with a couple of foam pads was just what I needed. In the end, I watched a few YouTube videos, assembled my equipment (which was accompanied by a cold beer), and began working. How did it work out? It's a holy cow. This has been fixed to 100%. That is exactly what I meant- There are deep, big scratches embedded in the sheetrock and it is all gone now. The fact that my wife (and I) were completely dumbfounded was shocking. *br/
To be honest, I can't even recall how much I paid for this kit, but whatever it was, I think it was worth every As a result of my success with the Pilot, I was brave enough to repair a small rust spot on my truck (one inch in diameter). Even though my paint job wasn't perfect, I used the same kit to polish it and blend it in, and I was equally pleased with the results. The polish system is first-rate, I can't say enough about it.
