How To Correctly Polish Any Color Paint Fast & Easy! - Chemical Guys
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Are you looking for a product to remove scratches, swirls, water spots and oxidation in one step? VSS is the easy-to-use polish that cuts strong to quickly remove swirls, scratches, and defects, then finishes like a fine polish to deliver a mirror finish at once. Not every car requires a 3-step polishing job. For cars with light to moderate swirl marks, scratches, and defects, VSS is the perfect one-step polish that cuts hard like a compound and then finishes in like a fine polish to restore a lustrous shine and deep reflection in a fraction of the time of standard 2 or 3 step polishes. It’s the fastest way to get a mirror like shine on all types of paint!

After polishing with vss, do i need to use wipeout before applying glazes and sealants or can i use something different
@ChemicalGuys
3 жыл бұрын
Hey! To ensure the surface is totally clean, it is recommended to use Wipe Out before applying any coatings.
So I just went over my blacked out 2020 ram with a competitors product, all the way down to the mirror glaze. Applied all by hand using a foam wax pad and light pressure and then waxed afterwards. Truck looks amazing until the sunlight hits it a certain way and you can see all the swirls in the clear coat. I’m confused about which color pad to use and what compound to order from you guys so I can get rid of the damage I’ve done. I believe it only needs a very light machine polish to eliminate the swirls. Recommendations?
@ChemicalGuys
Жыл бұрын
Hey Ron! Try machine polishing with an Orange Hex-Logic Pad and V36 Cutting Polish.
So there’s no need to do any other wax after the vss? And do you add 5 dots and spray conditioner for every panel or is that just to begin then a few dots when necessary?
@ChemicalGuys

Hey Zach! After polishing, apply your favorite coatings such as ceramic, glaze, sealant and/or wax. Use 5 dime size dots for every two by two foot section. Spray the pad with Pad Conditioner for the first few sections than only as necessary.

Awesome! I ordered the torq kit with the cleaner and conditioner and all the pads. It will be here tomorrow and want everything lined out before my details this weekend. I’m finally breaking the old school method of hand waxing 😂

@ChemicalGuys

Hey! Moving too quickly when polishing can cause marring or leave the surface with swirls and scratches. Achieve the best results by working section by section and thoroughly diminishing the product.

Wow what speed were you using?
I’m having issues with trying to apply this video to my polish attempts. It doesn’t seem to spin consistently and I know it’s because of me and not the polisher. Am I applying too much pressure and polish possibly? I’ll admit fault I didn’t spray it with the conditioner so I have a feeling that’s a factor also

So I’m considering a polisher but I’m not sure where to go. My car is a 2009, has some small paint chipped off areas and some bubbled up rust spots on the door edge but otherwise nice but never been truly detailed. My friend is a detailer using your products and says a daily driver with imperfect paint isn’t worth the attempt …. Is that right and if not what kit/products should I use?
