Big fan of you guys.!! I’m in the United States Army station in Washington. Thank you.!!
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!!!
This kit is awesome! I got it a couple months back and can't beleive how easy it is to use, esp never ever using in the past and testing it on my new sub70k car was really scared at first. Watching all your videos Def helped and gave me the confidence I needed.
Great to hear!
I’m about to do the same. Just ordered my kit. Never used one. Bought one once (a DeWalt, I think) and returned it lol. Too scared to use. But this product looks awesome. Has great reviews. Can’t wait to use it on my, strangely, sub-70k truck. Haha. Def will be nervous but I appreciate seeing reviews like yours. Helps out my mind even more at ease. 👍🏼
I got this kit 2 years ago. Still scared to use. But ima practice soon on my spare hood , before I take it the my car. Reading this comment put my mind at ease. Thank you !
Thank you for using the TorqX just to show us that you dont need a big machine to do those jobs
Gotta love the TORQX!!
Just bought this exact kit and this video answered every question I had about how to best use it!
Just got my torq x so I'm definitely looking forward to new tips and tricks for this buffing machine 🔥🔥
You're going to love the TORQX!!
I just bought this kit, and I took my first detailing course from The Lab and Chemical Guys here in Mexico, so I hope to use it with my cars and get so perfect polish on them, in spite I'm a little scare but I hope I don't have any problem looking to all your videos. Thanks
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Thank you my friend I try to learn this stuff but you make it more easier three and I’m so happy thank you
Enjoy your detailing products!
Thx!! Bout to get started
Happy detailing!
Very informative video. At 7:28/9:46 you sprayed something on the white pad, but you did not tell the viewer what you were spraying. Can you please tell us what you sprayed on the white pad? Is it just water? Or, is it some Chemical Guys product?
they sell the bottle that helps moisturize the pad
Thanks Bro, just bought the kit can't wait to use it Thanks for the info 👍
Happy detailing!
Hi, I have this same machine for my detailing business . I want to ask a question, how much pressure should I put on the machine when I'm using it?
I just bought some total interior and I love it! You guys are da best
Happy detailing!!
Thankyou,I have this kit. Your video helped me alot.
Glad it helped!!
Can I use the one step then do a ceramic coating or do you recommend the 2 step
Question: I saw you spray something onto the pad before you applied the polish to the car.I am assuming it is water. When should you spray water onto the pad and polish before using the machine? Thank you.
Hi Joseph! Use Polishing Pad Conditioner to prep the pad as well as reduce heat. Apply Pad Conditioner for the first few panels and then as needed from then on.

@@ChemicalGuys Ok. Thanks for the response. I have never used a machine to detail/polish my vehicles. I suggest that if you update this video, you have the person tell the audience what he is spraying on the pad and why he is doing it, so us first-time folks understand what and why.
Thank you....
Best informative video I’ve seen no fast forwarding awesome great knowledge
Glad it was helpful!
Great vidéo, so 34 and 38 is best, so if you compare to your kit p4&c4
Could you explain the difference between those two kits please , purpose wise, thanks
wondering about the amount of pressure applied to the tool?
Almost none. Let the tool and the compound/polish do the work. Regards.
Me too and what was in the spray bottle. Im a newbe doing buffing and cutting. Just recieved my kit in the mail today.
What pad do you recommend for a car that only has 15k miles? Bought it brand new, doesn't have all that many swirls. No scratches. However, I will be applying a ceramic coating, but I also don't think I'll need to compound and polish, probably just polish from the looks of it. What pad would be the most useful in my situation?
Hey, I’m not an expert or anything. But just from watching the video, it seems like for a finish polish you would use the white pad with the v38 finishing polish
Hey! A light polish such as P4 Precision Paint Polish with a White Hex-Logic Pad is great for removing light imperfections before applying your favorite coatings.
Hi would it be ideal to ceramic coat your vehicle after a polish and paint correction like this?
You guys are the best!
Glad to have you as part of the Chemical Guys family!
How much pressure do i apply with tht machine?
Woah woah what did you spray on the pad when you had v38 on it
Hi! Check out Polishing Pad Conditioner.
www.chemicalguys.com/products/polishing-buffing-pad-conditioner?_pos=1&_sid=0b1e3ea29&_ss=r
Great video all around! How much pressure are you using on your left hand when the setting is on 6? Or are you just using the weight of the machine?
Hey! Use the weight of your hand plus a little more when polishing with a dual action or random orbital.
Nice, thanks for the instruction. What speed should it be set with the black pad for waxing?
Hey! Use the lowest speed setting to spread a fine coat of glaze, sealant and wax.
Do you need to spray pad Conditioner everytime you add compound?
Hey! Spray Pad Conditioner for the first few applications of compound and then as needed to keep the pad moist.
@@ChemicalGuys appreciate the feedback and the helpful videos 🤙🏼
Need to get this kit
You're going to love it!!
I know the middle panel was a one step with Orange pad and V36 but could you then use the white pad with V38 to really bring out the shine?
Thanks
Hey Jack! Absolutely, following up with a White Hex-Logic Pad and V38 will further refine the paintwork and jewel the finish.
How do I get my car cleaned or polished by you guys? I would love to see what you guys could do for my car 🙏🏽😎
You guys definitely motivated me to clean my car on a weekly basis so I can keep her looking shiny 👌🏽
Hey Gabriel! Thanks so much for watching. Although we do not offer detailing services, we do have all of the right products for the job. Happy detailing!!
Nice job
Happy detailing!
So use the black pad to spread and apply waxes? If I use carnauba wax by hand can I use the black pad to buff it off and remove it? Thanks for the help
Yes I just dab my black pad in the carnauba wax paste and apply it to the vehicle and wipe off.
I only have the use of one hand/arm,is it possible to lock the power trigger into place while using?
Hello! The TORQ line of polishers are triggerless, just turn the machine on and set the speed!
Are there a difference with TORQ AND TORQ10FX?
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video!
How many pads do I need for my truck? Can I do several vehicles on one pad or what
Hey George! It is normal to use one or two pads for one vehicle. Yes, clean your pads and use Pad Conditioner so they last for many uses.
Hi,
What should I do when the cutting pad gets dirty halfway into compounding my black repainted car? The clear is broken down so the black paint gets onto the pad.
Should I get several pads or should I just wash the pad?
Hi Howard! Yes, it is recommended to have multiple pads of the same color for such instances or you can clean them during the job using Polishing Pad Cleaner.
Trying this on my black Tacoma for the first time, it had lots of scratches from what looks like a previous owner using something abrasive to clean/wipe it down with. We used the orange pad and tried all the way down to 32 but still seeing some scratches. Is there a certain amount of time I should be working on one area with the orbital before wiping it down???
Hi Sarah! Work in a 2 foot by 2 foot section moving the polisher about 1 inch per second until the compound/polish turns clear.
Only scratch remover that I have ever got to work
Happy detailing!
Got a white turbo Mazda 3 I just bought, def has swirls in the paint but also lot of paint chips. Is it even worth doing all this even with paint chips? I wanted to ceramic coat it too
Hi Zachary! Touch up paint can be used to mask chips and blend the finish during polishing.
So wash, dry then use this? Is a clay bar necessary?
Do I follow up with a wax?
Hi there! Yes, it is necessary to wash and clay bar the vehicle before polishing. Lock in shine and repel harsh elements by applying your favorite coatings.
What do you with pads after use?
Can u clean them off or are they one and done?
I leave them soaking in a bucket with Dawn, rinse and wring them out and the put them on the polisher to spin out excess water. Chem Guys also sell a pad cleaning spray.
I used a green going as far down as 32 on a black Jeep and the surface scratches still would not come out. What is the cause of the scratches not being able to be removed?
Hi Mark! Try using a cutting pad such as a Yellow or Orange Hex-Logic Pad.
@@ChemicalGuys Isn't the green most aggressive?
Big fan....question, how long does it take you to do a entire car in that process...
Hi Tom! Every vehicle is different so overall time will vary but this entire process was completed in under five hours.
@@ChemicalGuys ok so I am about that for average also, thankyou as always
Can you use the quantum hex pads on this torqx? Just used the normal ones for the video??
Absolutely! Use a Hex-Logic or Quantum Pad with the TORQX.
I don't have any scratches on the newly painted panel, just want to maintain the shine. Can I just use v38 and light white pad?
Absolutely!
@ChemicalGuys Thanks a lot, so can I also use 36 to buff and polish on the new paint? Is 36 too aggressive for new paint that doesn't have that many scratches or swirls?
Just bought this kit. Do u recommend clay waxing first? Or not needed since im using compound?
Hi there! Yes, it is important to clay bar the vehicle before compound/polish.
@@ChemicalGuys ty 😃
Is this the same as a DA?
Correct!
Would I need to claybar before using my kit?
Hey Andrew! Yes, it would be best to clay the surface before polishing and coating.
When ordering this kit, do we get new machine polisher. We're not gonna get a used one.
Hello! That's right, the kit includes a brand new machine.
Will other drill brush cleaning attachments fit on the Torqx unit?
Hi there! Any hook and loop backing will attach to the TORQX.
Great video just got my package,can’t wait to use it on my truck,after polishing should you use a wax to seal it ??
Hey! Thanks so much for watching. After polishing you can use both sealant and wax to add durability and gloss.
@@ChemicalGuyswhere would a glaze come in? Would that be after the sealant, before, or instead?
What’s the red backing plate for? My kit came with one
Hi there! The Red Backing Plate is flexible to contour to round body panels.
What speed setting is needed for the wax? Apply at 1 then work it at 6 as well?
Hey! Apply wax using the lowest speed setting. No need to work it into the surface just allow it bond and then wipe off spent product.
@@ChemicalGuys oh! Thank you!
Should I wash the car right after doing this polishing? Or not?
Hi Pedro! It is not necessary to wash the vehicle after polishing but rather use Wipe Out to remove polishing residue.
Do you not use pad conditioner with these products?
Hi Sarah! Use Pad Conditioner whenever using a compound or polish.
this is not cordless correct ? Needs to be plugged in all the time ?
Correct, to use the TORQ it must be plugged into a wall outlet.
How would I go about cleaning the pads?
Hey Cameron! Check out Pad Cleaner to revive your pads.
th-cam.com/video/B01zu7wuGA0/w-d-xo.html
Does this work on sun faded areas too?
Absolutely!!
What products do I use for a heavy metal polish using the torqx?
Hi Bryan! Use an Orange Hex-Logic Pad with your TORQX to polish metal surfaces using Heavy Metal Polish.
@@ChemicalGuys will do ty for the quick response
What are you spraying on the pad before you polish?
Hey! Check out Pad Conditioner to prep the pad before polishing.
www.chemicalguys.com/polishing-and-buffing-pad-conditioner/pad-conditioner.html?gtmListValue=Internal%20Search
Does this remove holograms?
Absolutely!
Can speed wipe be diluted?
Hey Esteban! Speed Wipe is ready to use and does not require dilution.
How many times can you re use the pads ?
Hey! With proper care, your pads and last for many jobs to come. Clean and conditioner your pads for the most longevity.
All
Three have scratches after the polish😅
2nd
Hope you enjoyed today's video!
Wot was the spray you guys applied before v38 polish
Get a life
I need a refund on this thing it’s a horrible machine Boggs out all the time with barely any pressure. I’m a detailer and I get better results on my old school portar cable. I would like a refund immediately so I can order a different unit. Ur showing results on perfect paint. I spent hours trying to get out an oxidized hood and still got no where after running a heavy compound and pad.

Thanks so much for watching!
