Sometimes when you buy a new-to-you/used vehicle the previous owner did not take special care of the paint. If you notice lots of swirl marks or scratches, which dull the overall look of your ride, there's a great chance you can restore optical clarity and bring back that lustrous shine! Henry walks you through all the proper steps to a smooth polish, from cleaning, to claying, to polishing and protecting.
V36 is formulated for fast cutting with optical grade diminishing abrasives that restore both old paint finishes and freshly-painted panels. The advanced polish cuts through light to moderate paint defects, swirls, scratches and oxidation, then finishes with superior luster fit for final polish results on most paints. V36 contains no fillers or oils, so the results you see are the results you get!

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

Can u make a vid explaining why u have to polish a car after u compounded? Thanks in advance

@ChemicalGuys Жыл бұрын

Great suggestion!

@bansheerider619 Жыл бұрын

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.
