It surely worked great for me!
My first major detail on any car and specifically on my 2012 Audi A7. The paint was overall in good shape but I had water spots, a lot of swirls and a few significant scratches. With the positive reviews I decided to give the products a try. I spent 2 1/2 days on the job but I think the results were spectacular. I used the V36 and V38 pretty much over the entire car and even before I got to the extra steps past the compounding I could see that I was going to achieve a great paint finish. There was no sticking of either compound. It went on and came off with easy using the Porter Cable 7424XP Polisher. I used an orange Country Lake pad with the V36 and a white pad for the V38. The removal of the defects was very apparent. Using the subsequent products, the color and brilliance of the black paint was beyond my expectations. The image I've attached is before I had applied any Füzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax but truthfully I don't think I would have needed any except for protection. Literally every spec of dust and any little defect shows up on such a nice black finish so now I need to buy a cover for the Audi. Otherwise I'm going to lose my perfect finish pretty quickly. Here was my protocol if you're interested. See what you think. * Wash & Dry * Clay * IPA Wipedown * Chemical Guys GAP_VKIT_16 V Line - V36 & V38 * Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0 * Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish * Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 * Chemical Guys GAP_619_16 Black Light Hybrid Radiant Finish Color Enhancer * Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 * Wolfgang Füzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax

Amazing. Next up was the Leather
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

Works better than I ever expected
My wife managed to sideswipe our garage entry trim (white) with her vehicle (dark brown Honda Pilot). I'm a car guy and this just ate my lunch...scratched paint, white on brown, looked horrible. Thankfully no body damage. I've never really messed around with buffing out deep scratches but I figured in this case it was worth a shot. I bought this kit and borrowed my dads random orbital buffer with a couple of different foam pads. I watched some YouTube videos, assembled my equipment (which included a cold beer), and got to work. The results? Holy Cow. 100% fixed. That's right- big, deep scratches with sheetrock reside embedded in them and it's gone. My wife (and I) were dumbfounded. I honestly don't even recall what I paid for this kit, but whatever it was it was worth every single penny. After my success with our Pilot I got brave and repaired a very small (1") rust spot on my truck. While my paint job wasn't perfect, I used the same kit to polish it and blend it in, and the result was equally awesome. Can't say enough good things about this polish system

Great on gelcoat
I bought these on a lightning deal with no specific use in mind, I then needed to get a couple very faded sea doo personal watercraft ready for sale and thought "what the heck" I'll try this stuff. WOW, just wow, I have used 3m professional gelcoat products forever and these smoke those in ease of use. The best part was how well the first round came out. After the heaviest compound the work was largely done with very little compound haze like you will have with other abrasive compounds but each level had incremental improvement. I went from chalky pink to bright red in no time. I know that this is not advertised as a marine product but I am sold! The attached after pic was after just the V32. I used a 6in Porter Cable DA buffer with appropriate pads which obviously helps

great package, i drive 4x4's in the PNW
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...

Great product, pay attention to pad build up.
I have been using Chemical Guys products for the past year and overall I'm satisfied. There is a learning curve due to the branding of each polish or compound. It can make pad selection difficult at first, however the utube channel helps clear this up. The compounds don't flash too fast, and are fairly easy to use when working the paint. If done correctly , they leave a show room finish. As always prepared paint will result is beautiful paint. Make sure to wash and clay prior to cutting and polishing. Also don't make more work for yourself by not having enough microfibers to wipe down. Don't cross microfibers used with cutting with polishing.

Chemical Guys to the Rescue
Combined with the Torq10FX polisher, I was able to fix what I "thought" was an unrecoverable disaster with a new Infiniti QX this weekend. We went on a road trip and on one of the last nights, a hotel's sprinkler system sprayed copious amounts of extremely hard water from front to back. If that wasn't bad enough, my "significant other" thought they were doing me a favor by trying to remove them one morning... with PAPER TOWELS! Of course, they now know that using paper towels on a car is an absolute no-no. The result was micro scratches all over the car, plus remnants of hard water spots - I was beside myself. Thankfully, the Chemical Guy's videos and products have come to the rescue. Out of fear of screwing-up the paint more, I first started with the V36 and green cutting pad. It was working on the water spots, but I moved down to the V34 w/ orange cutting pad, and that did the trick on most of the light scratches. This DID leave a light "haze" in a few areas. Properly following-up with the V38 w/ white polishing-pad restored everything to a better than new shine... w/ a final step of my favorite wax (made MUCH easier/faster w/ the Torq). My significant other is out of the dog-house (but they're forbidden from touching the car!).

Wow, this stuff works well!
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.

great product, you don't need as much as other products so job price is good!
this is a great product, I've used a lot of other polishing products and this stuff really performed, the heavy cut could have been a little bit heavier but the abrasive really held up for longer than expected so didn't have to use very much. It stayed nice and moist, whatever they are using to keep It from drying out works well... really long polishing life especially considering that not much has to be used. I would say more but the Women is going to kick my But... can I say but? for being on the computer. professionals and amateurs, buy this product it's a good one, in this day and age there's a lot of junk and this is not junk.

Chemical Guys Rock!!
This is the answer to great looking paint-go to chemicalguys.com and see their many instructional videos on claying your paint, then follow their VERY helpful flowchart video. You will be impressed for sure. Disclaimer-I am NOT a professional detailer and got professional results with these products-that tells me they know what they are doing at Chemical Guys and better yet, they know how to show you what to do effectively. Make sure you have everything you need BEFORE you start claying your paint. I have less than $150 invested total and have enough product to last months. Great products, great company-and no I don't work for them or had any solicitation to rate their products. Buying a polisher and V line polish kit next. Plenty of info to safely get this done with their website video help.
