Great, video…he tells the truth, no fluff. They have great products as well . Got an estimate to DA polished might car and ceramic coated and it was $450. You can buy everything for half the cost and do it over and over again
Hello from southern Oregon! I've been detailing cars for 37 years and i still learn from your videos. Always enjoy watching! Can you tell me what kind of overhead lights you guys use. Those lights really show the defects in the paint well.
I wish I had a garage to do all this comfortably 🙁 .. most people tell me it's not good to be outside because of the immediate contamination from being outside for just a few minutes so I've been hesitant even though my car really needs a polish.
I’m doing mines right now it’s windy and shady here in Florida now so it’s the perfect time and mine paint is really ruff in swirls so I’m taking my time and just getting through
I'm really enjoying your video and find incredibly informative as a weekender DIY guy. Do you have any videos about using the DA on corners and vehicles with lots of contours?
After applying hydro charge how long do you have to wait to apply any sealer or wax? And instead of using hydro charge can you just put a sealer and skip the hydro charge?
the paint has to be really bad to use compound. Compound has no polishing ability. Compound has heavy abrasives to correct damaged paint by removing a layer of the factory clear coat. After compound you need oils/fillers to fill the gaps created by the compound as well as shine. Polish merely fills the imperfections and shines. Then you need a top coat to protect the work you did, such as a ceramic, wax, or sealant. You can skip all these steps by using a compound/polish 2 in 1, but you may not get the same result. Also keep in mind each product requires a certain pad to use. You dont want to use a cutting pad for polish or wax LOL.
Hi sorry I'm sure this has been answered before. I have one of your polishers. Are you putting any pressure down when correcting or just enough to keep control of the polisher?
Hey! Yes, when using a DA polisher use the weight of your hand plus a little more and listen for the tone of the machine to change. Be sure the pad is constantly spinning.
Indeed there’s different steps to a rotary! Da is user friendly ! Rotary not so much be careful not to let the rotary sit in the same spot long as that can burn your paint keep an eye on heat good way of doing so is the back of your hand
You guys are great, as your products! My question, I recently purchased a black car, after wash\dry... in what order would I use blacklight? Would it be blacklight, wax then sealer? Thanks for your videos + any responses ecommendations!!
Are you thinning the clear coat ? You can only thin the clear coat so much. Have you tried Sonus swirl buster Polish it will not thin the clear coat but fill in swirl marks and scratches and last up to 4 or 6 months and your vehicle will look amazing.

@@ChemicalGuys thanks boss. You guys are great! I am going through this exact problem when I got a used black car recently and didn't look at the paint close enough. It's got so many swirls and light scratches but I'm gonna do the paint correction myself to save some money!
How many pads are u going to use for that vehicle as u know what ur dealing with? An the all in one product ur using is more appropriate than say ur P4 product? Thanks
Like all the other videos the final product looks good from 2-3 feet away but why doesn't anyone use a brighter light and view it from 1-2 inches away and go over it slowly. ALL products look good far away.
I like how detailed you explanation is but you talk rather fast 😢 run together making you hard to understand. Is all your products on line or in a magazine?

Hello from southern Oregon! I've been detailing cars for 37 years and i still learn from your videos. Always enjoy watching! Can you tell me what kind of overhead lights you guys use. Those lights really show the defects in the paint well.
I personally use a ceramic spray than wax/sealant followed by a quick detail spray to make it the paint pop to the max
Happy detailing!
Funny thing, i'm going to do the same thing on my CX-30!! Great ride and awesome video!
I wish I had a garage to do all this comfortably 🙁 .. most people tell me it's not good to be outside because of the immediate contamination from being outside for just a few minutes so I've been hesitant even though my car really needs a polish.

Thanks so much for your feedback and for your suggestion!
I use your guys v4 and take a few extra passes and my black suv looks amazing after
Enjoy your detailing products!
Excellent video, thank u very much for given me the tools and the confidence, I aappreciate it.
No other professional detailer on TH-cam goes right from a 1 or 2 speed straight to 6. Guess I'll try it.
Paint correction is amazing!
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback!
After applying hydro charge how long do you have to wait to apply any sealer or wax? And instead of using hydro charge can you just put a sealer and skip the hydro charge?
Hey! Allow at least three hours before applying additional coatings.
Can u make a vid explaining why u have to polish a car after u compounded? Thanks in advance
Great suggestion!

Is it safe to do this outside, or do you recommend to do it inside?

Hey! Yes, when using a DA polisher use the weight of your hand plus a little more and listen for the tone of the machine to change. Be sure the pad is constantly spinning.
@@ChemicalGuys Thanks so much!
Hi guys, love your very informative videos. I wanted to know if you can clay bar and/or polish factory applied vinyl decals ?? 😊
Yes, absolutely!
@@ChemicalGuys
Ok, thank you very much for the information. Keep the great videos coming !!
Shouldn’t you use an iron/fall out remover before you clay bar?
You should buy your microfiber towels without tags.
Thanks guys....is it imperative that we use a DA polisher or can we get the same results using a rotary. If so is there any different technique
Indeed there’s different steps to a rotary! Da is user friendly ! Rotary not so much be careful not to let the rotary sit in the same spot long as that can burn your paint keep an eye on heat good way of doing so is the back of your hand
You guys are great, as your products! My question, I recently purchased a black car, after wash\dry... in what order would I use blacklight? Would it be blacklight, wax then sealer? Thanks for your videos + any responses

Hey! Thanks so much for tuning in. Apply glaze, sealant and then wax for the best results.
Are you thinning the clear coat ? You can only thin the clear coat so much. Have you tried Sonus swirl buster Polish it will not thin the clear coat but fill in swirl marks and scratches and last up to 4 or 6 months and your vehicle will look amazing.
Hey Henry, I saw one of your videos you mentioned that the Hydro Charge cannot be used on windshield?
Hey! HydroCharge should only be applied to gloss paintwork.
This was really good man
🤩🤩
You nailed it! Awesome results for such a scratched paintwork. I have a question tho. IPA wipedown is not required after the clay stage?
Hey! Use Wipe Out to prep the surface for coatings, usually after the paint correction step.
I didn't know that. What each side was for. Thanks
Happy detailing!
Instead of Wipeout you can mix distilled or RODI water with 99 percent alcohol. 50/50 mix. Called IPA solution
We go A,B,C,D. Proceeds to do A,C,B,D 😂 anyways, great job
Thanks so much for tuning in!!
What microfibers would you recommend for cleaning Interiors?
Costco towels

Did u do a chemical decon?
Hi there! A clay bar with Clay Luber was used to prepare the surface for polishing.
Lol: 4:05 - you don't know if your car is old, new... "
Haha I just check the year and I know if it's old, personally.
😆😆
Would you recommend VSS and an orange pad for a brand new car? It has dealership love marks but it’s new. I think V36 may be too aggressive
Hey! Try using a White Hex-Logic Pad with P4 Precision Paint Polish to remove fine swirls, scuffs, and scratches.
If you don't have a garage, can you still apply the ceramic outside?
Hey Joe! Ceramic should be applied in a shaded area when the surface is cool to the touch.
@@ChemicalGuys Gracias!
So I just bought a 2015 truck. Swirls on red paint. What clay bar should I start with and then end with?
Hey! Try using a Medium Duty Clay Bar with Clay Luber before machine polishing the truck to remove swirls and scratches.
Do you spray pad conditioner everytime you add product?
Hey! Add Pad Conditioner for the first few applications of compound/polish then as needed to keep the pad slightly moist.
Now I've noticed swirl marks on my fiesta I can't unsee them, it's only 2 years old 😢
Instead of the Clay Bar, would the Clay Mitts work as well?
Absolutely!
your guys VSS product, is it for medium swirls, light swirls or heavy swirls. or is it any type of swirl
Hi Shane! VSS is intended for use on light to moderate swirls and scratches.
my paint is quiet new (3 years), but there are few contaminents, can i use clay bar on it?
Absolutely!!
What if you use your garage as storage? 😅 no choice but to keep it outside lol
😃😃
When is the wipe out surface cleanser spray needed?
Hey! Use Wipe Out after polishing, right before applying coatings.
@@ChemicalGuys thanks boss. You guys are great! I am going through this exact problem when I got a used black car recently and didn't look at the paint close enough. It's got so many swirls and light scratches but I'm gonna do the paint correction myself to save some money!
Do you have a polish pad and buffer pad kit. My car is it great shape so nothing harsh just a light polish pad. I have the orange hex pad already
Hi Teresa! Try the combination of P4 Precision Paint Polish with a White Hex-Logic Pad for a light polish.
How many pads are u going to use for that vehicle as u know what ur dealing with? An the all in one product ur using is more appropriate than say ur P4 product?
Thanks
Hi Matt! It is normal to use one or two of the same pad to complete a paint correction.
@@ChemicalGuys Thanks 👌
I just bought a Mercedes Gls 450 black in color. It has really bad swirls. What claybar should i start with ?
Hi there! Try using a Medium Duty Clay Bar with Clay Luber to extract contaminants before paint correction.
How many revolutions does the polishing machine run at? Thanks
Hey! The TORQ 15DA operates between 1,800 - 5500 OPM.
Using this as a one step what about vss is that a good one step
VSS is great for saving time and effort when removing moderate swirls and scratches.
I’ve seen some Chem guys videos where they use cutting compound and then polish and in this one you used just polish. What’s the difference?
Hi there! Every vehicle is different and therefore the compound/polish used will vary.
These guys are great
Happy detailing!
Surprised you didn't do a Strip Wash and Iron Out and then Clay bar for your colleague. Must not like him that much
Hey! That is all necessary prep work before polishing.
Do you condition the pad between each section of the car?
Hi there! Use Pad Conditioner when adding more product to the pad.
Love your products!
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
How does the v36 compare to c4 & p4? Should I start with v36 with a black raven soft paint car?
Hey! V36 is a great approach for the least aggressive cut.
How to get rid of white oxidized clear coat ?
Hey! Machine polishing is the best option to refine oxidation.
Can you polish by hand? 😅
Absolutely!
Just tried using the code to buy the kit but it didn't work. Is there another code for $50 off the starter kit?
Hey! Please contact our Customer Service team for assistance.
