How To Correctly Use A Rotary Polisher! - Chemical Guys

- In today's video, Nick demonstrates the proper technique and process for restoring gloss using a TORQ R rotary polisher. Using a rotary polisher can be frightening at first due to the horror stories we have all heard about burning and damaging paint. Old rotary designs are bulky, noisy and a hassle to work with. Torq Tool Company has refined the rotary polisher to a smooth, quiet and precision instrument.
We get a lot of questions about selecting the “right” machine, polishing pad, and polishing compound. People always ask what works best for black paint, for red paint; for hard paint, for soft paint; for domestic cars, for import cars, etc. You can make just about any paint finish shine on any vehicle if you select the best combination of polishing machine, buffing pad, and polishing compound for that particular car. Every car and every paint job is different, though: How much paint did the manufacturer spray on? What paint brand and formula did they use? What type of paint is it: petroleum-based or water-based? Was it waxed and cared for, or was it neglected for years and destroyed by the elements? How humid was it the day they painted that run of cars? Was the car in an accident and was it repainted with completely different paint? These are the questions you need to consider as you start polishing a car.

Currently have the Torq 15 but the Torq R is next on my list for sure, paired with a quality wool pad it will seriously step up my game and efficiency

Nick has taken a car that I would have been embarrassed to take to the junk yard and turned it into something half way decent. That new ceramic coating product looks intriguing.
That’ll be my next purchase. Daughter’s 04 Expedition is showing signs of oxidation on the bumper, and lower trim on doors.
Great video as always Nick
Hey Marissa! Happy detailing!!
- CG Nick
I have watched every single of your videos loved them all I have one questions as an amateur hobbyists
Should we use after v34 v38 to wash off any light marring or light haze?
Yes Sir, You Really don't see those Thunder Birds anymore. One of Kind. Thanks for the Video Tutorial, I liked how you explained the step by step process at a calm tone and very professional that made easy to understand.
Hi there! Thanks so much for tuning in and for the awesome feedback, happy detailing!
- CG Nick
Love your videos, car looks great. 😎
Thanks for tuning in!
- CG Nick
Sound video yet again 👌
Can you do a video on water spots/water marks, which have stained, glass and on paint work
Hi Mitchell! Great video suggestion, stay tuned!
- CG Nick
I had a 95 AT-BIRD. LX VERY LUXURIOUS.
Hey Pete! That's awesome!! Yes, they are very luxurious and in general very nice cars.
- CG Nick
Having problems deciding what I need for a 2018 ram with a few clear coat scratches. I ordered the V4 with the orange and white pad. Would this be too much?
Very therapeutic to watch, I kept wondering about the curves like on 9:25, I see you still used the same pad for that area, is that step applies to a DA polisher? (I own one)
What size orange hex pad should we get to fix onto the rotary polisher?
My favourite chemical guys rep! 🤗 Nick my boy
Happy detailing Antony!

Chemical Guys when r you guys releasing a gallon of HydroSuds Ceramic Car Wash Soap??
Just wanted to let you know that I love your videos and especially all of your products I use them regularly could you do a video of you cleaning that smart car I have a 2008 and I would really like to see more pictures of that smart car up close
Hi Gary! Thanks for checking out today's video. Great idea, the Smart is in need of a detail. In the meantime, check out this video.

Nick do you guys prefer using a rotary polisher over a DA for vehicles that require heavier amount of of correction?
Have you tried using a clay mit? Much larger surface area, cuts the time in half and if you drop it you can wash it off with hot water, rather than replacing it every time.
Great video as always. Looking to buy the DA torq10fx as a novice. To do a full car would I be wise to swap orange pad half way through to prevent scratching from polish buildup? Thanks 🙏
R M just wash it out and spin it on high to dry and your back on the road again
I just purchased the Torq
Awesome!
can you buff plastic bumper?
Should make a step by step w the rotary literally show turning it on bumping speed how to control it on body lines
Hey CG, I have the Torq 10FX. Once I spread the product on the lowest setting, what setting should I crank it up to to polish?
Hey there! After spreading out the compound/polish use the highest speed setting on the TORQ 10FX to refine the paintwork.
Video on motorcycles being cleaned please ?
Hey guys - I've been watching your videos to get an idea of how to properly polish out the paint on the '78 Thunderbird in my garage. It was my grandfathers, and at some point in life, all the vertical facing parts of the car (doors, etc) were repainted and clear coated. The horizontal surfaces (roof, hood, trunk) are all single stage paint still and have some swirls and water spots on them and are also going dull. My question is whether I would have to use a different technique with the rotary polisher for the horizontal surfaces than I would for the vertical surfaces.
Hey Jamie! Thanks for your message. The same process would be used for the entire vehicle. Keep the pad flat and moving constantly without applying pressure until the compound/polish used turns clear.
- CG Nick
@@ChemicalGuys Thanks Nick! I'll give it a shot when it stops snowing here, so probably April. Keep up the great videos, they're really informative!
Nick my question is is it okay to use the cg sealant and then ceramic coat it??? or not required??/
What's up Eric! Good question, applying a ceramic will give you the most protection and it can also be layered with glaze, sealant and wax for more shine and protection but it is still perfectly fine to use a sealant as a standalone layer of protection.
- CG Nick
Hi CG! Question. What is the spray that you’re applying on the hex? Can I find it on the website? Thanks in advance. Stay safe!
Hey! Check out the link down below to Pad Conditioner.
www.chemicalguys.com/polishing-and-buffing-pad-conditioner/pad-conditioner.html
Why are you not use your clay block?
Question: Do you add the hydro charge spray first then the hydro charge wax or the other way.
Yes, we recommend HydroCharge first then HydroSlick.
Would I not need to follow up with v36 or v38 (finish polish)?
Hey there! Every vehicle is different, some may require multiple polishing steps to restore a mirror like gloss.
So what's the step in-between claying and polishing. Did you rinse the vehicle, wash it again or just microfiber towel dry it?
Hey there! After a clay bar treatment it is perfectly fine to simply wipe away spent product especially when you are going to be polishing next.
- CG Nick
Awesome video but please balance the audio levels for the whole video
Just an educational question...What’s the intent of starting a rotary polisher off the surface, vs a DA on the surface? Thanks!
Hey Robert! Great question, since is a rotary is direct drive and only spins on one axis, placing it on the surface and then turning it on will create a swirl whereas the DA has a counterweight that dictates the oscillation but won't create a swirl when placed on the surface. Also, by placing the DA down before starting it will save the bearings and prevent product from being flung.
- CG Nick
@@ChemicalGuys Thanks! Makes sense. I was just curious about the rotary slinging product.
You guys are the best! 👍
I polished my car with the rotary torq from you guys but I had rotary swirls and plan on re-polishing in the spring... what are tips to get a better finish? I had tried the hexlogix pads,and a rotary. Did decon, clay, and tar removed so I didnt miss any steps, just looking for better tips on polishing. @chemicalguys
You need a rotary with a fine polishing foam pad. Run it at about 1000 rpm with a good finishing polish or specific swirl remover. Getting rid of holograms or swirls is mostly about technique with the polisher, you've got to be deliberate, slow and flat with light pressure. If they are really bad you might need to use a medium foam pad first with slightly more aggressive cleaner wax or one step like malco rejuvinator, then hit it with the swirl remover after.
@@joshualloyd4275 this is a few years ago, and I definitely upped my game since then. Thanks for the reply though, brother.🏌️♂️
Which pad should i use with the scratch and swirl removal product?
Hi Mark! I recommend using an Orange Hex-Logic Pad when using VSS to properly breakdown the product.
- CG Nick
@@ChemicalGuys Even if the paint is well maintained but just has slight surface scratches? Thank you I love Chemical guys products and your videos are awesome
Can the pads be washed,? if so, what would be the right away?
Hey! We recommend Pad Cleaner, it uses the natural cleansing power of citrus to wash and rejuvenate all foam, microfiber, and wool polishing pads, ensuring that pads last their longest and perform their best.

Hi, can I use a clay bar to remove the water marks on my windshield and windows?
Hey Dennis! Absolutely, clay bar will remove contamination and stains.
- CG Nick
@@ChemicalGuys Thanks Nick, stay safe and healthy.
How many pads do you use for one car?
Hi Debbie! Depending on the size of the vehicle and the amount of correction needed it can take one to three pads for proper correction. This Thunderbird only needed one pad that was cleaned halfway through the job.
- CG Nick
What about polishing a car with a pin stripe?
are the pads washable?
Hey there! Yes, use Pad Cleaner and warm water to release spent product from the pad. Be sure to air dry the pad before storing.
- CG Nick
Can we dilute the clay lube?
Hey Anthony! Clay Luber is ready to use and it doesn't require dilution. Dilution may reduce its lubricity and can cause marring.
- CG Nick
Awesome job man, great video as always and the hair on point 👌
Hey buddy!! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for the great feedback!
- CG Nick
How do you keep the buffer from skipping or jumping all over the car.
Hey Mike! Keep the pad as flat as possible, that will reduce the chances of the pad from hopping and pulling you. Practice laying the machine onto the surface without turning it on and check how flat the pad is. Also, be sure not to apply too much pressure.
- CG Nick
Ok thanks its been over 20 plus years when I detailed cars it was all done by hand. The old school way lol
So we don’t have to go from v34 to 36 to 38? Just v34 and seal?
wus good I’m confused
👍🏻👍🏻
Happy detailing!!
why don't u use wool pads?they stay cooler than foam.
Will the clay bar remove an orange peel effect ?
Hi Ian! Thanks for your message. The only way to remove orange peel is to wet/color sand.

You guys dont make anything to polish windows?
Why does my paint feel rough and dirty after using v36 and v38?
ike R. Left over compound and polish
Yup clay bar again nd add a sealent, you should be good to go
Unintentional asmr
Hey Mike! Thanks so much for watching.
- CG Nick
Rotary is King
Giordan Rodriguez why
can you clay a car if the paint has been chipped off by rocks?
Hi Mike! Thanks for your message. It is possible to clay around rock chips but it is best to avoid applying excessive pressure to these sensitive areas.
- CG Nick
Does my DA polisher have a reason to exist anymore?
Hi there! DA polishers are still great for paint correction or applying glaze, sealant and/or wax.
- CG Nick
Chemical Guys i have a 2018 Durango SRT and I noticed that it didn’t correct a lot of swirl marks on the hood (aggressive hood has a lot of indents and hood scoop so it wasn’t always spinning). I should get a rotary shouldn’t I?
Polish the new Carr
If the clay pulls of the junk and you then fold it back together, then the clay is holding onto that junk. Are we not in danger of having those micro debris then marring the surface?
Hi there! Yes, as you clay the bar will collect the extracted contamination and it is necessary to roll and knead the bar until you can no longer find a fresh side, in which case it would need to be replaced.
- CG Nick
