How To Cut & Polish Paint! - Chemical Guys

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!

I bought your mystery pack thing, love the bag and the mango cello spray I got smells amazing 😁, one product in there is useless for me though cause I dint have a dark colored vehicle

[@ChemicalGuys]

Thanks so much for sharing, happy detailing!

[@johnabney1921]

Nice video! How does this process work if a ceramic coating is present on the vehicle? Surely you'd have to find a way to get under that coat to make corrections

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hi there! Compound and polish will remove the ceramic coating.

[@jacko9778]

What if the paint is got a deep fuzzy look like it’s in the clear but not in the clear coat kinda look whould there’s steps help

[@joegrasse]

I would like to see more of the process as you get further around the vehicle. Do you have to worry about cleaning out the pad? If you do, how often do you have to do that, and what tools would you use to do that?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! We recommend cleaning your pad if it gets super caked up with the product you are using. We recommend cleaning it with Pad Cleaner, it uses the natural cleansing power of citrus to wash and rejuvenate all foam, microfiber, and wool polishing pads, ensuring that pads last their longest and perform their best.

[@Ninergang198]

Do you wax it after you polish the vehicle? Or reapply some protective coating?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! After polishing, apply your favorite coatings whether it be ceramic, glaze, sealant and/or wax.

[@nicky85926]

@@ChemicalGuys So can put hydro coating and then wax?

[@zaccamacho3899]

If i clay barred my vehicle with in 6 months or so. Should i clar bar my car again?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! It may still be necessary to clay bar the vehicle, inspect the paint for contamination prior to polishing.

[@imperfect_Visions]

Off topic of this video.. but can I use Black Light Glaze on a Red car? Trying to give the wet look to my car but unsure on if I can use black light then maybe a spray ceramic on top for protection 🤔

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! We recommend GlossWorkz Glaze, it is a premium self-leveling glaze that fills in micro-scratches, warms the glow, deepens the depth, and enhances the reflection on any color vehicle.

How does the BUF503 TORQ compare? Would it do a not so good job?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey Don! You can still achieve great results with the TORQX polisher.

[@luisperez6572]

[@datandrei3446]

How long is the clay block’s life span?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! The Clay Block can be used for 20 cars then you will have to replace it. Thanks for watching and happy detailing!

[@paulrockey830]

So then, do you put wax or ceramic or something after that?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Ceramic will provide a longer lasting layer of protection.

[@grhambosports]

How do you know if the paint is getting to hot?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hi Tyler! As you polish, check the panel for heat by using the back of your hand.

[@officiallistengreatmuzik]

So when I do my hood, do I go side to side or up and down?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hi there! Use a cross-hatching pattern to ensure an even finish.

[@joellaplant5837]

Hey what kinda tape is safe to use?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hi Joel! Use a low tack or painters tape to mask off sensitive components.

[@ro19978]

What about polishing around emblems

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hi Raymond! Mask off sensitive emblems and logos when polishing.

[@RoninDelta7]

Would you clay bar an oxyidized hood??

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey there! Absolutely, using a clay bar will help to remove contaminants which shows the true condition of the paint and this is especially important if the surface is going to be polished.

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

What about clear coat and metallic paint?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! This same process is perfectly fine for clear coated metallic paint.

[@pastoraarontimberlake8551]

It did not work on my car. I still have a ton of swirl marks. The car just looks shinier because it was polished. No change with the scratches and swirl marks. I worked all day on it to.

[@rickfonseca2346]

Same here until I realized I needed heavier compound. Made a big difference.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Always test your combination of pad and chemical in a small inconspicuous area to determine the best solution before attempting to polish the entire vehicle.

[@pastoraarontimberlake8551]
