This actually works I tried a test area on my 77 diplomat. Took off the surface oxidation and brought back it's glossy finish, can't wait to do the whole car
This was for sure helpful as I'll be working on a Volvo 850 with similar issues of oxidation. The paint I'm dealing with is quite a bit better, with only slight oxidation but the customer wants to protect from future damage so I'll be ceramic coating it after correction. Should be fun!
Always fun with you get a good result like that from really faded paint. Reminded me of my work on a "pink" (faded paint) classic Barracuda that turned fire engine red after doing something similar to that paint. Great video.
Nick , i was thinking that car needs a new paint job,but u brought it back to life. Amen to that. You guys r miracle workers. Thanks for that awesome video. Have a nice labor day weekend. Be safe.
Hey William! Thanks so much for always tuning in and for all the kind words. Glad to have you as part of the Chemical Guys family!! Have a great Labor Day weekend as well! - CG Nick
My Volvo looks a little like this-on one side of the car. I might try these products-otherwise it’s going to have to be a bodywork paint job! Amazing results-impressive x
Such a satisfying video to watch and such a transformation. Who would have thought? My car has some oxidation areas. Maybe 15% of the cars pearl white surface. I wonder if this procedure would work on my vehicle.
Great work and thank you for the content. But how do you protect it after you've brought back the shine? And more importantly how long will it last? and what kind of care is needed to keep it shining? Thank you for all the great videos.
Hey there! Thanks so much for watching and for the awesome feedback. This Nissan was later coated with HydroSlick for a long lasting shine and durable layer of protection. Adding coats of sealant and/or wax will enhance gloss and provide more protection. - CG Nick
OK, I do not see above. I am a 77 y.o. retiree and unfamiliar with a lot of things...and no, I was never a detailer, but did my own mechanic/painting. My 72 PU is painted with metallic enamel about 4 years ago and the oxidation is pretty heavy. I never waxed it, or put polish on it during this time. My question is: you reference spraying the pad with PAD Conditioner?? Or Spray? What is it? I do not see it in your list of items used above.......
Hi Kenneth! Pad Conditioner lubricates the polishing pads to reduce wear and tear as well as reduce excess heat and friction which can dry out compound/polish before it has properly broken down. Check out this link. www.chemicalguys.com/polishing-and-buffing-pad-conditioner/pad-conditioner.html?gtmListValue=Internal%20Search
Hey Nick, will you guys do an updated video on all the soaps and shampoos going over which one strip waxes and sealants. The last video I found is from 2015 and there’s a lot of new ones on the website and some that are not for sell anymore. Thanks
Hey there! Thanks for watching. For a typical paint correction it is best to have two of each pad that is going to be used. Clean as necessary for consistent results. - CG Nick
That is very worrisome. When you see that much paint come out on the white pad, that means the clear coat is non-existent. You are just cutting off and thinning out the paint. Before long, you will be down to metal. I would measure the thickness of the paint and re-clear if there is enough left.
Hey guys hello to you this is T from Kissimmee Florida this was an amazing video very helpful I actually have a 1999 Mercedes Benz that looks exactly like this vehicle and I now know what I need to do to restore it I am in the auto detailing industry and I've done small areas of restoration but an entire car is a complete the different horse LOL so thanks again guys great job great video I know what I need. We do have a local auto detail company here in Orlando Florida called Ardex but if I cannot find what I need there I'll definitely be checking you guys out for the products for this particular job
This is awesome but it took me 9 hours doing hand polishing and wax! My car looks hella new like when I first bought off from the dealership few years ago. Next time I'm using the damn machine lol thx for the video!
My 2014 Tacoma is getting oxidation on roof, what can I use to remove it and protect paint with a shine? I'll have to do it manually, I don't have the buffer or machinery.
Doing it by hand won’t get you very far therefore I really recommend you buying a cheaper polisher if you want to get rid of the oxidation, then use a sealant or wax to protect it
Hey! We recommend VSS Scratch & Swirl Remover, it 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 in just one step. www.chemicalguys.com/vss-one-step-scratch-and-swirl-remover-compound-polish/COM_129_16.html
Hi 2Shine! Yes, it is best to perform a clay bar service before polishing. This will prevent contamination from swirling the paint and also keeps the polishing pad cleaner for longer. - CG Nick
The Chemical Guys recommendation after compounding and polish (which he did here) is to next apply a protective glaze or coating (like ceramic), then a sealant or wax.
Hey! Lock in shine and repel harsh elements with HydroSlick. www.chemicalguys.com/products/hydroslick-ceramic-coating-kit?_pos=1&_sid=c6192683c&_ss=r&view=sl-224BDC70
Hey Mamun! The 5 inch pad was fine for the flat panels and the more intricate areas can be hand polished or using a 3 inch pad and 3 inch backing plate.
I would like to get an idea of the quantities required for different size vehicles. Pads? V36 and V38? OG clay bar and waterless swift wipe. For example, I am going to do a long Sprinter van, which has a lot of surface area to cover. 😀
Hi Kevin! It is normal to have two of the same pad for each chemical. One clay bar can decontaminate several vehicles. Roll and knead the bar until a clean side can no longer be found.
Hey! Please check out the link down below to V36 Optical Grade Cutting Polish and V38 Final Polish. Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Hey chem guys I have a 2013 Chevy Malibu that has really bad looks like caked in water dry spots like after drying your car and I bought a torq x and used the yellow pad but still doesn't make any difference any help please🙏🙏🙏🙏 I was told I might need a rotary polisher.

Hi Rodney! Yes, it is important that the surface is totally clean before polishing. Using a clay bar will reduce the chances of marring and promote the best finish. - CG Nick
I did this with my e36 original paint job with a different product. But I gave it a light wet sand first. The thing came out like a freaking mirror!! Now my issue is after about 2 weeks the paint starts to dull again.. is there another step to retain the shine? Or am I using the wrong product? Plz help
Hey! After the paint correction, apply your favorite coatings to lock in shine. HydroSlick easily lays down a durable barrier of protection. www.chemicalguys.com/hydroslick-intense-gloss-sio2-ceramic-coating-hyperwax/WAC22916.html?gtmListValue=Internal%20Search

You mean to tell me that entire car is evenly oxidized or did you just sand it down previously? Im looking a car that is restored from natural elements, not man made sanding.
Hi Claudio! Check out Meticulous Matte Spray Sealant to add protection without changing the matte finish. www.chemicalguys.com/meticulous-matte-detailer/SPI_995_16.html
Hey Fernando! Nope, this Nissan rolled into the Detail Garage after many years of neglect. UV rays oxidized the metallic green paintwork but after polishing we were able to revive some of the life in this little car. - Happy detailing!
Nice result, but curious why you didn't go to a V34 or V32 product? If you had wanted to spend the time, wet sanding it first seems like it would have made a bigger difference.
Wet sanding will just be an aggressive approach and cause that to remove the clear coat off the car which will cause damage to the car unless you apply the clear coat back
@@ChemicalGuys would this also work for restoring /removing sanding or oxidation from carbon fiber aswell? Purchased my torq kit yesterday and forgot to ask one of the associates about it

don't forget to clean your pad frequently because of the paint residu on the pad.

How many of each pads did you need to do the whole car? And would I need more than 1 bar of clay to prep if i had a bunch of peeling clear coat spots?
