Chemical Guys, V Line Polish & Compound Kit, Paint Correction, 4 x 16 oz

I used this along with the Chemical Guys Clay Bar kit, autolock polishing pads, and chemical guys ceramic wax (see attached photos). I also used my husband's dewalt orbital sander with the pads & polish. I have taken my vehicle through car washes but I will admit I probably havent done it enough over the years. Especially since we dont have a garage or car port to shade our vehicles from the elements, and my work parking is uncovered as well. So, my van has taken A LOT of sun over the years as well as ALL the seasons and their respective elements. I have never had the outside of my van detailed before either, nor have I ever done it myself. Overall, I didn't realize how much work goes into detailing lol. Especially, since I could only do this for a couple hours in the morning and evening. And like I mentioned earlier I dont have a covered area to do this. You can't do detailing in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces. So this ENTIRE process took me two days by myself: washing, clay bar, polishing, & waxing. Considering my van is a 2016 it now looks almost brand new. I never realized how faded my paint was looking. It took my father-in-law pointing out a SERIOUS problem area just below the front of my hood to realize it needed some serious TLC - see photos. I lot of minor scratches ended up getting polished out, but there are a few severe ones that are still there. That isnt all that surprising though. And between this polish & the wax I used my paint looks and feels much smoother than before. The steps are very easy to follow on each bottle, and the volume of each bottle makes the price well worth the purchase. At first I thought it was a little pricey for four bottles. However, after using the product, seeing how much is used, & how much is remaining it was well worth the purchase. Holy moly can you see the difference in my paint! That major problem area just below my hood is practically gone. Along with the bad areas by my front driver & passenger windows. My father-in-law saw my van after (we bought the house next to him lol) I was done & he said it practically looks like a whole new vehicle. I am going to take this kit to those areas again just before winter. I believe that next detailing will completely restore those severe areas. I just cannot believe how good my van looks now. I highly recommend this product.

About 6 months after I got a new truck I took it off-roading, rolling down narrow trails for about 8 hours. Branches often scrapped the sides of the truck leaving hundreds of superficial scratches. Fortunately, nothing that wouldn't buff out. I had some MacG*****, you know the product. I had enough to do one side of the truck. Worked my way through 4 different "grits". It took a couple hours+ but it removed most of the scratches. I wanted to try out this product so I bought the 4 pack and used it to do the other side of the truck. Chemical Guys recommended using the lightest grit first to reduce how much paint gets removed. Okay, I tried it. One pass removed 90% of the scratches. Second pass, they were 99% removed. Doing the whole side of the truck took a half hour or so and left the truck much more shiny than the other side. I was really impressed. It was a little harder to wipe off than the other product but worked so much better it more than made up for the time. I didn't intend this to be a side-by-side comparison, I just wanted the scratches out of my truck's paint. Running out of product halfway just made it work out to be exactly that, a side by side comparison. I found it works much better than the other stuff. The most aggressive grit is quite aggressive, you may not need to buy the 4 pack, you might just get by with the least 1 or 2 aggressive levels depending on what you're buffing out. I also do woodworking, I turn pens on a lathe for fun and profit and I use this product to shine up CA glue finish and resin castings. I had similar results to my experience with the truck. It worked so much better than the McG product. It really reduced my sanding time. I used to go through all the micro-mesh pads then use McG, now I sand to 600 and just use the Chemical Guys product, done! I will absolutely be buying this again. Funny thing, it's easier to buy on Amazon than the Chemical Guys website. They'd been out for months when i thought to check Amazon and was surprised to find it available. So, bottom line, this is a really good product and well worth the extra money. You may not need such an aggressive grit though so you might consider just getting the lightest grit first and trying it out. Good luck and happy buffing.

HUGE THANKS to the Chemical Guys! Wicked products! The Sequoia is almost 8yrs old with 125K miles on it. The paint has been fading and oxidizing badly over the past few years. Its washed regularly, and has been detailed several times. Each detailer the past few years has stated that the paint is gone and the truck would need to be painted in order to restore that shine and new car look. So a few months ago, I purchased the TORQ Tool Company BUF501X 10FX Kit as well as following products: - Chemical Guys GAP_VKIT_16 V Line Polish and Compound Kit (16 oz) (V32, 34, 36 and V38) - Chemical Guys BUF_301_16 Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner - Chemical Guys SPI_109_16 Leather Cleaner and Conditioner Complete Leather Care Kit - Chemical Guys WAC_201_16 Butter Wet Wax (16 oz) It was a LONG 2 days, but the results speak for themselves. Washed the car with water only, then started in on it. Started with the V32, then V36, then V38, followed by the Butter Wet Wax. Below are some before and after pictures of the door (Oxidized VS Finished) and the second... Is the difference just between the V38 and Butter Wet Wax steps. You can see how much clearer the reflections are. Amazing. Next up was the Leather... WOW, night and day difference. The seats were last cleaned about 8mo ago (expensive name brand from auto parts store)... they have never been this clean! The hood photo... well, the hood was oxidized worst of all and now you can clearly see cloud reflections!! THANKS Chemical Guys! #customerforlife #lookslikenew

I used this set on my spouse’s 2008 Lexus that had never been detailed and typically washed at the the automated car wash at the gas station. The car was starting to exhibit early clear coat failure so I figure I had nothing to lose by experimenting on this car with a DA polisher, Lake Country pads and this polish set. I have never used a polisher before this, and was more concerned about burning he paint by being over aggressive. I’ve only used polishes and polishers to polish hazy headlights before this. To avoid that, I experimented first on with the v36 and v38 on some easy sections of the car and liked the results, but moved to the more challenging areas with the stiffer pads and the v32 and v34. While I was able to significantly polish up the challenging areas of the car, it got to the point where I wish the v32 was able to cut a bit more. You’ve probably read that in some of the other reviews, but that makes this polish kit a good starting point for noobs like my self. You really can’t damage your paint with the v32, an aggressive pad and a DA polisher. Try it out without worries if you’re starting out.

Used this set in combination with Chemical Guy's clay-bar kit, and WOW. 14+ years of dirt and swirls came right out. I've never done more than just a simple hose-down and sponge-scrub on any of my vehicles, but this stuff was easy to use and beat my expectations. Started by giving the bike a wash with the Clean Slate wash from the clay-bar kit, then went over it with the claybar (which is the point where the before pic was taken). Then proceeded through each of the 4 polishing compounds in this kit with a cheap set of 3in polishing pads and my corded drill. Dabbed it on and started slow to spread it, then a few passes a bit faster, one final pass at top speed, then wiped off the residue with a microfiber towel. Then grabbed a fresh pad and repeated with the next compound... After all the polishing, I applied the Butter Wax from the clay-bar kit and gave one final buffing by hand to get the after shot. For my motorcycle, this set had more than enough compound to do the whole bike several times over, but I imagine it'd be cutting it pretty close trying to do a whole car. And that said, it feels a little pricey for such small bottles... But this kind of paint correction shouldn't have to be done too often, so after seeing the difference, it's definitely worth it!

great package, i drive 4x4's in the PNW, our trails are tight with a bunch of heavy undergrowth/brush if you don't have pinstripes your not wheeling. is the motto around here, so needless to say my silver truck had some pretty deep and nasty scratches that ran the entire length of my truck, might as well been keyed, using this stuff and my buffer i got all of the scratches out..more or less the deepest of the deep are still kinda...barely there, you can see them but only from a certain angle, in a certain light from really close up...i really don't know what more you can ask of a product like this. again, i'm not talking light scratches here, i spent weeks reading the reviews and such and it seems alot of people are just using stuff like this on street cars with light scratches and such and it really did take me a while to find a product thought i thought would stack up against the sort of destruction i was faced with... so 3-4 hours of sweat and sore arms i got my truck looking almost new, a 99' that has literately just been driven right through heavy brush, everything from the sage in the SW to tree branches and sticker bushes in the PNW my truck had every type of scratch you could imagine and this stuff got 'em out...was super happy to be driving a new looking truck again....unfortunately i'm an idiot and went wheeling the very next weekend and put 15-20 new pinstripes down the truck...buffed them all out against just 2 days ago, lol, probably going to take it easy for a bit for a while now... i know it's a bit ridiculous to do something like this to basically and offroad vehicle, but i like my stuff looking nice and figure i'll just do this a couple of times a season till it's time for a respray but in the mean time i don't think my truck has looked this good in almost a decade...

I have been detailing professionally and personally for years. I paint vehicles so I know what can damage clear coat and this product is solid. Easy to use, especially with a da buffer which is newer than the traditional rotating. Great product for the price. Leaves way less of an oily residue than most and doesn’t burn easy. Some compounds and polishes are hard to clean off after they dry up and these come off great. Water resistant and leaves a long lasting shine.

Compounds work as they should, easy clean up

It is worth the value for your money, and it took me awhile to get used to it with different polishing pads, I am still experimenting with the products. The end result is great the sheerness is great and the products are applied great.

These are very good for polishing epoxyglass resin, even the coarsest delivers a glassy shine. I've dedicated a foam disc to each grade. The aroma is quite tolerable, a vague and inoffensive lemony scent. The downside of these polishes is that they will reveal scratches deeper than 1200 grit or so, so make sure your work is well sanded!

Yo cuido mucho de mi carro, aplicando cera cada 2 meses y lavándolo cada semana, pero el desgaste normal nunca se puede evitar. Utilize una pulidora de doble acción, las fotos son del cofre. Decidí utilizar los 4 pulimentos ya que es la primera ves en 4 años que detalló el coche y la pintura ya lo necesitaba. El V32 y V34 quitaron los rayones más grandes, el V36 ayudó a terminar quitando los micro rayones que los pulimentos anteriores generaron. El V38 ayuda a quitar los rayones más pequeños, los que solo se ven si te acercas mucho con una linterna. Si eres perfeccionista te recomiendo mucho utilizar este kit. Respecto al precio, creo que es muy económico en comparación a las marcas de la misma gama de consumidor, con Meguiars te vas a gastar un poco más y no ofrecen un kit como este, escalonado. Aparte de los pulimentos utilice el kit con el Bloque de arcilla de la misma marca para quitar los contaminantes previamente al pulido. Si tu carro es oscuro te recomiendo pedir el kit de ceras de chemical guys, viene con una cera y un glaze especial para los carros oscuros.

Bought this sampler kit after watching the Chemical Guys videos on how to remove paint transfer and scratches. This stuff definitely works as advertised! I used the V34 polish with the Porter Cable 7424XP DA that I purchased and CG orange hex pad. I buffed out all scratches from the hood of my wife's 2003 corolla then followed up with the white hex pad V36 then V38 polish. WOW! Looks like new again! I moved onto my car that had paint transfer on rear door/wheel well, and in about 5 minutes it came off completely. I was afraid of burning the paint on the wheel well so I used a piece of the CG orange hex hand pad that I cut off with V32 polish. I had to rub vigorously for a few mintures but the paint transfer came out. Now you cannot tell the white paint transfer lines were ever on that part of the car unless you look up real close and see indentations from the deeper scratches but thankfully it didn't get to past the clear coat. I ordered more of the V34 and V38 to do a two step polish on our cars for the future.

These guys know what they are doing. I’m a professional detailer and these are great products. If they only came in bigger quantities.
