Yep 👍
Uii
I love the fact that you guys did an older vehicle with dents, paint failing and showed real results! Been working on my 66' candy apple red Galaxy using Chemical Bros products including your buffer 👍👍
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Agreed, not everyone has a Ferrari, Porsche, or any other super car to apply these techniques to.
I'm a mobile detailer, and I absolutely love Chemical Guys product, I cannot say that I've disliked any! These videos were really helpful for me to start this business, thank you Chemical Guys
Glad to have you as part of the Chemical Guys family!!
I used the C4 and P4 on my wife’s SUV…..WOW what a difference, great products guys! Keep them coming
I appreciate the Chemical Guys team taking the time to make these tutorials for us.
Hi David! Thanks so much for the awesome feedback!!
As always, it's good to see this stuff in action and that it's possible for everyone to do it if they want to. Great products and excellent results!
💪 Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Joey! The list of compounds and pads are especially helpful.
Not having the power-washing tools, your micro-fiber hand-glove and EcoWash followed by Luber and ClayBar before the cutting and polishing and protecting has been my favorite. Your process sure is impressive! Thanks for great products and demonstrations!
I don’t care what they say about you guy’s, i love your products and my clients love how the car’s look so it’s a win, win. I have your entire collection of products, bucket, rags everything.
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Dat background music got me bumpin my head... Dope video
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Paint correction is one of the sickest projects for sure.
Always satisfying! Thanks for being a part of the Chemical Guys family
Absolutely best car care video I have seen, am ordering all products now, fantastic, thank you so much gang.
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Glad Joey is still rockin it. Been watching his vids for years.
👍👍
Thanks for showing how this can be done on a realistic car for most people. As much as we'd all like we cant be driving around in a Porsche 911 and sometimes gotta make do with a honda civic. But this shows yiu can still look good even if your car is a little beat up!
I've got to say thank you to all the viewers for asking such great questions! You've helped me immensely!😊
Happy detailing!
I appreciate these “walkthrough” style videos.. thank you
😀😀
yeah first timer with a DA even a Harbor Freight model your combos do work. I started with the V34/V38 now I will try this combo C4/P4. Thanks for the tips!!
Let me know which combo you like better! For black paint
@@texasbrotherhood3930 Copy that!! I been a lil lazy so I'll get on it and let ya know soon as possible!! Coincidentally I'm working on black paint as well...I didn't have the pad treatment so that'll be worthy to note as well.
Enjoy your detailing products!
Y’all’s product is amazing I just did headlight restoration and I’m highly satisfied as ur customer and u highly satisfied my customer 💯💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Glad to have you as part of the Chemical Guys family!!
One more detail, in CA it's a bit hot and doing this stuff with car, which is really heated from the direct sun, this is not good for the health of the bodypart (If you want to ever do this and the hot weather is expected, do it in the shadow, or early at the day or in the evening). On the other hand I appreciate the job the guys have done.
Awesome 👏 job. Real educational
Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Amazing as always ❤️
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback!
I was thinking that maybe your products could be color matched with the pad colors! Thank you for the video!
Happy detailing!
Great job Joey 💪💯
Happy detailing!
Love your products!!
Thank you for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
At 12:40 are you increasing the speed of the polisher?
Great video. My car has a similar issue as this one just above the windshield on the roof. Is there anything you recommend to fix that? I don't think its bare paint yet but can it be saved??
Super helpful explanation
Glad it was helpful!
Hi! what to do after polishing if i want to add some spray ceramic? do i rinse the car first with water to remove excess polish? or is it okay to just spray on top of polish? thanks!!
Can I use black light glaze right after washing my car with black light soap? Or do I need to need to use C4 and P4 in order to use black light glaze? The paint of my car is not really bad, btw.
What happens do the roof? Do you still go over it? Do you ignore and go around the part that’s failing but still do the rest of the roof? Do you still
Apply wax the whole roof after you polish it including the failing paint Even tho you didn’t polish?
very informative. Thank you sir
😃
Great video. Thanks
Thank you for watching!
How much pressure do you use when doing your passes with C4?
Do you have a video of polishing a fresh painted car with some dust in the paint? If not what polish would recommend for wetsand
I purchased a polishing starter kit that includes V32, V34, V36 and V38. I am planning to perform "paint correction" on my old Mercedes that has mild and heavy scratches, swirl marks and everything else that you would expect on a well-loved 23 year old car. I will clay bar first. Should I begin with V34? Can I go down to V32 if I don't see the results expected with V34?
Also, what is the difference between the V series products and the C and P series products?
Do you have a video detailing steps for windshield/Windows? My windshield is having this tiny spot which looks like dust but won't clean with cleaners.
Thanks
I saw you apply the product slowly, C4, then you did some slower passes, but did you change the speed of your buffer for that 2nd coat? Or left it at speed 1?
I don't know how many people are going to spring for a $500 Polish job on an $800 car but nice work.
Those are the best cars to do it on. I got a E36 conv for 2k. And that baby is beautiful and I just did this job to it and got some BBS on it. Summer bout to be great.
How does the C4 compound compare to the V32 & V34 compounds? Similarly, when to use P4 rather than V36/V38?
Maybe I haven’t spent long enough studying Chemical Guy’s products, but it’s not intuitive as to which product is best for my needs.
Hi Ted! C4 and P4 are a great combination to cut down on time and effort while still achieving professional results. C4 is comparable to V34 and P4 starts out aggressive then refines to a comparable V38.
Hi there! Just to be sure-I can use clay or another decontamination liquid? Make any sense use dec liquid after clay? just to be sure is all gone? Greetings from UK, Tom
Bravo great work
👍
Hey quick question, how can I get a dried up silly putty or silly string color, off-white car and dried up when the sun and left a marker type stain on it is there anything I can use that you recommend?
I see your two Smarts behind you! What do you use on their soft plastic panels to keep them looking good?
Hey! Check out HydroShield to lock in an OEM finish while repelling harsh elements.

QUESTION : If car has a lot of scratches and some are quite deep so you need to paint them..but you also are planning to do full paint correction.. should we:
1. We first sort those deep scratches (preparation,sanding, painting, polishing), then do the full paint correction of whole car...
2. We do painting of deep scratches mid way of full paint correction... (after wash...iron and tar decontamination and clay bar decontamination)
3. We do all the steps of paint correction and before applying ceramic coating we focus on sorting those big deep scratches
What a fantastic video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
wow fabulous demo & tutorial -- am learnng so much about your products & process ... btw ..... what is the music @ 15:50? .. it is absolutly fantastic!! ... as ever .... thanks so very much for all your hard work and sharing your expertise with us ... Iʻve subscribed and will be following many more of your videos ;)
Thanks so much for tuning in and for subscribing!
I'm hoping I get to try the clay bar from your product line
Happy detailing!!
Will these polishing pads fit on an m18 milwaukee polisher? I have mo access to an AC outlet
Chemical Guys, I've been looking for a source of information, or a "guide", so to speak. But I'm not sure what I'm looking for even exists. I've heard different professional detailers say different cars require different products inside and out. Do you provide such a guide in which you recommend certain products of yours for that specific vehicle? For example, let's say I have a 2008 Dodge "whatever whatever", I look that up in the guide, and it tells me which of your products are safe on the interior, seats, carpets, outside, wheels, etc. Thank you for your response!
How would you compare Jet Seal vs Butter wax after using the black light glaze? I have butter wax but should I consider jet seal instead?
Hi there! JetSeal will provide a longer lasting barrier of protection whereas Butter Wet Wax adds a warm gloss. Use them in tandem for the best of both.
@ChemicalGuys will black light glaze offer a barrier of protection? I ask because I used butter wax and then the black light glaze recently on my black truck to prepare for winter
Im about to do this process on my 2014 bmw, but its supposed to rain that night. Will it be okay to take out into the weather or does it need time to cure?
How often should you clean the pad during the compound and polishing stage?
Yes
I've heard after every panel or some people like to clean it after every little section on the one panel
Hi David! It is normal to clean the pad several times during the job depending on paint condition and products used.
What speed settings did you use? Speed setting 1 to spread out c4/p4 but did you increase the speed to compound or did you keep at speed setting 1?
Hey! Yes, when using a DA/Random Orbital use the lowest speed setting to spread the product and then use the highest speed setting to diminish the compound/polish.
Hi, excellent video, did you keep the speed at 1 the entire time?
Hi there! Use the highest speed setting on your dual action to break down compound and polish.
do i need to polish and seal if i’m going to wax after?
Thats the nicest set of 5 spoke 7th gen wheels left on earth
😆😆
What speed volume do you finish polishing with white pad?? Ijust ordered pads n compoud from chemical guys thanks...
Keen to understand this too
You can also use the cigarette cellophane test. Great way to test to see if you need to clay more.
Happy detailing!
Any chance you have a video on how to correct the scratches on and behind door handles?
Hey! Check out this video.
th-cam.com/video/tVnONEF751Q/w-d-xo.html
@@ChemicalGuys thank you!!
How long does one pass take to complete? What is your hand speed rate? Also what speed settings did you use for c4 and p4 passes?
Hi there! Work in a 2 foot by 2 foot section, moving 1 inch per second.
What about speed setting for polisher? Still 1 setting?
@@adamcurrie3026no. You’ll never get any results using 1. Most use setting 5 but you can play around and see what you like best.
@@adamcurrie3026 The product bottles will give recommendations for pad speed etc
So say i wanted to add ceramic coating to my car. Would that theoretically be applied after I have polished with the C4/P4 combo? Or would I still need to apply black light and then ceramic coating?
Hi Gabriel! That's right, ceramic should be applied to a bare surface that has been polished.
great video! quick question, from a noobie. What these same techniques be safe on a classic car, like a 1975 Corvette Stringray? As I understand, they didn't have clear coat back then, its just enamel.
Yes, absolutely!
@@ChemicalGuys thank you! you're giving me the courage to try!
Any advice on back and shoulder pains while polishing ?
Hi there! Reduce fatigue by using less pressure on the machine and finding the most comfortable position.
Hey CG how often do you spray pad conditioner onto a pad? Every time you add compound/polish or just one to three sprays at the beginning.
Hey! Use Pad Conditioner for the first few panels then as needed.
After putting compound, when i try to remove it with cloth the compound is just not getting off easy untill i put pressure on cloth with fingers
Can you use C4 and P4 with a buffering pad, or do you need a rotary polisher?
C4 and P4 can be applied by machine using a rotary or dual action or by hand.
Quick question, when you showed Black Light Glaze it said it was a sealant. So why are you applying an extra sealant(Jet Seal) if Black Light is a glaze and sealant??
Hi there! Black Light is primarily a glaze that has some sealant properties, follow up with Jet Seal to add a long lasting, durable layer of protection.
@@ChemicalGuys can i put a paste wax then a liquid ceramic coat ? Or only one ty for your time
@Brandon135 no a sealant needs to bond direct to the Clear coat to protect correctly and last. After you seal u can top coat with wax
What backing plate is that? I don’t see it listed on site. Doesn’t look like the ones I have on my torq polishers.
Hi Josh! This is the original 5 inch backing plate.
I have to C4 cut correction I don’t have the polishing, so can I use the V 32 polish or is it the 38 the lower the number the finer it is right ?
Hey! Correct, the V-Line is variety of compounds and polish with the most aggressive being V32 and least aggressive being V38.
So you could do a 2-step with C4/P4 but what about V34/V38? What would be the major differences here?
If you started with V34 you could also do a 3-step with V34/V36/V38.
My question exactly
Is the c4 compound better than the V line compound you guys offer?
Hi there! The combination of C4 and P4 is perfect for vehicles that don't require multi-step paint corrections or when you're short on time.
Does it work the same to just rinse off the clay lubricant with a pressure washer instead of wiping it off?
Absolutely!!
Welcome to this guy because he is cool 🤙
🤩🤩
How often are we able to reuse the clay bar? Are we supposed to throw away the piece we just used? If not, how do we clean it?
Hey! Roll and knead the clay bar until a clean side can no longer be found at which point the bar should be replaced.
Can you go over blacklight glaze with the hydro slick or whatever the hydro ceramic coating is
Hey! It is best to apply HydroSlick to a bare surface and then it can be layered with your favorite glaze, sealant and/or wax.
@@ChemicalGuys ok thought so, cuz in the video you said you'll apply blacklight and then the sealant, which I was confused about I thought it should be the other way around
I’m all set to polish tomorrow but forgot to buy your polish conditioner. Could I simple use the clay lubber water?
Hi Frank! It is safe to use clean water to prime the pad but this should be a temporary solution.
@@ChemicalGuys thanks for the quick response guys!
Happy detailing!
Does it have to be the entire car or can I just buff and polish say where the door trims use to be? I removed my door trim, left behind lighter shade of actual color and some minor scratches and swirls kinda…doi have to do my entire car or just those spots ?
Hey! It is possible to spot polish only the affected areas however it may be necessary to blend the surrounding area to prevent a noticeable difference.
All of the first cutting step is on speed 1? Once the product is spread, did you turn the speed up?
Hello! Use the lowest speed setting to spread the product in a two foot by two section before using the highest speed setting(for dual action polishers) to break down the product.
can you use Black Light Glaze on Carbon Force ceramic coating?
Hey! Yes, Carbon Force can be layered with your favorite glaze, sealant, and wax.
Can the P4 be used in combination with other glazes and sealants?
Absolutely!!
I have a question can you claybar with pinstripes over paint?
Absolutely!
Can I do all these steps but replace the spray shine with Hydro Slick?
You can mix and match almost anything! If you are going to apply Hydro Slick or any other ceramic, however, we recommend applying it directly after the polish, and letting it cure before applying any other waxes, glazes or sealants on top.
Hey guys, am I able to use a ceramic coating product after using ALL the products you guys used in THIS video?
Hey! Apply ceramic after the paint correction stage, then it can be layered with glaze, sealant and wax.
Which would be best to use the C4&P4 or the V line products?
Hey Stephanie! Start with a test spot to determine the correct pad and chemical combination. Use a White Pad with P4, if more abrasives are needed use an Orange Hex-Logic Pad and C4.
when i polished my car with VSS and the TorqX, there was still paint scratches after, i’ve watched several videos of your guys tutorials, i don’t know what i’m doing wrong, how can you help
Hi there! It may be necessary to use more abrasives for deep scratches and swirls.
Search orange peel paint, there's a guy sanding with an air sander he's the best explaining how to sand without the wet sand.
what speed on the 10FX for the cutting with C4? 25 / 35?
For spreading, use the lowest speed setting. For cutting, it depends on the level of scratches, but most times you can get away with the highest speed setting for the fastest cut!
@@ChemicalGuys cool deal. was looking for this answer versus posting a similiar question...
Could you of also used v32 or v34 instead? or are the results better with C4 and P4?
Hey! For most aggressive cutting, use V34 or even V32 to remove deep imperfections.
Man you guys are on top of it, very thankful for your videos I was able to find one to get an understanding of your different polishes and compounds also v line products. Now I definitely see why v32 or 34 would not be too smart to use on here😂
What setting do you apply the black light and jet?
Hey! Use the lowest speed setting when applying glaze, sealant and wax.
Can i put a wax after paint correction snd then liquid ceramic or no ?
Hello! After paint correction lock in your hard work by applying ceramic and then it can be layered with your favorite glaze, sealant and wax.
Awesome as always 😎
Thank you! Cheers!
Can you do paint correction outside I don’t have anywhere that fits my truck I’m assuming I can..?
Hi there! It is best to polish indoors or shaded area when the surface is cool to the touch.
How long does it take you to do something like this? Detailing a car to this extent?
I clayed, polished, and hydro slicked mine and and it took an entire day. That was with only polish step.
To do the full car from start to finish could be anywhere from 4-12 hours depending on level of correction required and how detailed you want to go. Total length is really up to you - if you are looking for absolute perfection, you could theoretically work on one car across several days! 😍
Rather than the spray shine could I use an actual ceramic coating? I'm trying to figure out when the best time to ceramic coat would be. After the sealant I imagine?
ceramic coatings always goes before anything else. that’s the most durable, longest lasting protection, which is why you want it under everything such as sealants, waxes, etc
@@joey4261 I did. Almost a month ago now. Did a light machine buff since my car barely needed it. Obviously a wash first, clay, and IPA in-between everything. You know what I mean. Then once the paint was super clean and ready I applied the ceramic coating. Waited a week until I washed it again. Since then I use a quality spray ceramic detailer after my washes.
how long does it usually take to wash, dry, clay bar, polish & sealant the car?
Hey! Thanks so much for tuning in. A detail can take anywhere from 3 to 8 hours depending on the condition of the paintwork.
Long enough so CG have time to make another video with all new products so you have to start over. 😅
When polishing you should do the least aggressive step first to avoid an extra step if possible
Hi there! Yes, begin with a test spot to determine what pad and chemical combination would work best starting with the least aggressive approach.
Thanks for that comment!
"Hey I'm looking for product recommendations to keep my car's paint protected and avoid stripping it during regular washes. After doing this process, Any suggestions for gentle yet effective car wash products?"
Can I use this WHOLE LAYOUT to correct a ‘16 civic with parking lot scratches from carts and such also automated car wash damage to clear coat???
Absolutely!

Do you prefer using c4 and p4 over your v-line polishes ? Which would give better results ?
Hey Anthony! C4 and P4 are great for moderate to light imperfections or when you are short on time. Use the V-Line for multi-step corrections of heavy swirls and scratches.
@@ChemicalGuys what would be the steps using the v-line ?
Thanks for your question! Helped me!
I see on the back wall a picture of Christine( 1958 Plymouth fury) being polished...whats the info on that picture ?
Hey! Thanks so much for tuning in. Yes, that is a photo of one of the screen used Christine Plymouths being polished before it was put on display.
What temperature do you recommend for doing all this?
Hey! The surface of the vehicle should be cool to the touch without freezing.
