- Not sure which polishing compound you need to get the job done? Following along as Joey explains how and when to choose the right product for the application. Not every car requires a 3-step polishing job. For cars with light to moderate swirl marks, scratches, and defects, VSS is the perfect one-step polish that cuts hard like a compound and then finishes in like a fine polish to restore a lustrous shine and deep reflection in a fraction of the time of standard 2 or 3 step polishes.
C4 Clear Cut Correction Compound delivers rapid results in less time in a compound that is effortlessly capable of removing scratches and swirls, sanding marks, scratches, acid rain etching, and severe swirls and holograms means this is your new go-to compound whether you have a DA or rotary polisher, or you’re working by hand. C4 is developed for fast cutting paint correction without long work times and is designed and developed for tremendous results in the shortest time possible. P4 easily and quickly helps gently remove fine swirls, towel marks, and scratches delivering a mirror-like reflection as the final step in your polish. With P4, speed is of the essence and long work times are not required, so you can get incredible results in the shortest time possible. When you’re looking for a truly perfect finish with deep gloss, P4 polish technology effortlessly produces flawless results with your DA or rotary polisher. The versatile polish is capable of correcting 2000 grit and finer sanding marks without dusting or leaving behind residue, making this polish extremely easy to use and work with.

Use the full V-Line Kit to restore paintwork, clear optical plastics on headlights and tail lights, wheel finishes, carbon fiber, and any other exterior car part that is shiny or clear.

A pad breakdown video would be helpful. I can get lost trying to select the correct one.
One of those things you have to have an eye for to an extent
Agree with Kyle. Pad video would be great
Yellow- Heavy cutting pad for severe oxidation and deep scratches
Orange- Medium cutting for heavy swirls, scratches and oxidation
Green- Heavy polishing pad for moderate swirl removal and finishing capabilities
White- Light polishing pad for light defect removal and fine finishing
Blue- Soft finishing pad for spreading glazing quickly and easily
Black- Extra soft finishing pad for spreading sealant or wax fast and easy Red- Ultra soft finishing pad for spreading premium sealant and wax coatings

@@lr5417 you’re a real one! Just ordered my polisher kit and was looking for some information on the difference in the pads
Just polished my first car with the V line and I am extremely happy with the outcome!
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback!
I bought the VSS and it was awesome, now I'm buying the whole kit tomorrow. Can't wait
😍 Enjoy your detailing products!
Yes, please do a video on the differences between the different pads.
Stay tuned!!
Love your products by the way!
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Thanks for this! I bought the TorqX kit that comes with V32-V38. Used it on my 2017 Camaro SS with great success. Previous owner did not take care of the paint at all. Swirled everywhere. I used V32 and then V38. I picked up C4 and P4 yesterday for my wife's Infiniti.
Bought the same kit and used V32 and V38 on my E46 M3 and also got great results! Love that the TorqX has the smaller adapter too for the smaller areas. I do wish they had an even smaller adapter plate for the super tiny areas too but you can't have everything.
Enjoy your detailing products!!
Do u have any video or pictures result of your car ?
An updated video on the different applications of the various pads would be of value. I think the first one is 4 years old
Stay tuned!
Excellent video!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great breakdown
Glad you enjoyed the video!!
well im glad im here again have the vss and the v30s but forgot the order id be using some vss and some v38
For sure would love a pad breakdown video
😃😃
Thanks for tis video. Would also like to see a video on the different pads. Thanks
Great suggestion!
Hello, I work in a body shop. Another method for polishing a freshly painted part is to sandblast in three stages, ie 1500, 2000 and 3000. I would like to know if you have a two-step product for polishing a showroom part? THANKS
I have a question, so we used the C4 compound but someone insisted we put it on the whole car before wiping it and were having a tough time taking it off now, any suggestions?
What pad and product would be recommended for light clear coat burn removal
I would love to see a full series on RV's. There are not many videos out there showing best practice and products to get out the oxidation and then polishing and protections steps. This would be much appreciated. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks so much for your suggestion!
I have a 3 month old white car , what do you recommend for polishing?
I have the V line that has come with my TorqX that I bought three years ago. At first I was using V34 and V36 because I was very cautious to polish the first cars. Later I realized that V32 is just slightly more aggressive or more cutting than V34.
The last car that I polished (Golf 2016) I just jumped into V32 and it saved some time to get the results versus going with V34 and V36.
I used V32 for cutting and a light polish with V38 because the paint just needed some corrections from scratches and marks. After that I applied the Chemical Guys Ceramic Coating gel and then applied the Chemical Guys Jet seal.
Great results for a used car that stay on the driveway almost all the time.
Enjoy your detailing products!!
After doing this does swirls come back?
@@JoshuaMorrisRealEstate As you drive your car, dust and small particles will hit your car. Even more if you drive on highways.
What you should always do is to have a wax, glaze or ceramic coating that will work to: 1/ serve as sacrificial layer and the dust and all particles will hit them before your clear coat, 2/ periodically wash and re-apply the protection and 3/every year, evaluate the paint and do a light polish or use a long term protection like ceramic coating to work on the maintenance only for years.
So, there are multiple paths to take care of your car. You can do small and more frequent maintenance with wax and glaze, or do a more deep prep and ceramic coating a light regular maintenance with washing and some dressing.
whats the point of the singular compounds and polishes if i can get the vss or the c4 and p4?
Question after the v38 we still need to add the wax to finish correct?
Does swirls come back after using VVs for light scratches?
I've been using VSS with an orange pad for years and been very successful keeping my daily driver looking new.
Gotta love VSS!!
Pad break down would be good 👍👍
Stay tuned!!
Is the C4 compound and P4 polish safe for clear coat? Wondering if it can be used on guitars after repainting for the buffing and polish the clear coat. I use Spray max 2k clear gloss. Use your hex logic pads. They are great. Would like to try your compound and polish if compatible.
So VSS is lightest cutting
C4 is medium and
V32 and V34 are heavy cutting?
Absolutely!
A pad breakdown and poster would be great
😃😃
Nice Info! Thanks!!
I think I know the answer but...If I start with V36 with an Orange Pad and find I need a stronger cut can I use the same Orange pad to go down to V32 or V34? I figure the other way around would be ill advised but it seems it would be okay going for a deeper cut.
Absolutely! Clean the pad before using new product.
@@ChemicalGuys Thanks!!
Just ordered the clay and lube for step1. This project is a military vehicle so no need for a glossy appearance. I take it from the video that VSS would be the lightest initial step then maybe follow up with V36?
Hi there! VSS can be used as a one-step polish that removes swirls, scratches and oxidation.
Question: Could you use the white pad to also apply wax with the machine?
Hi David! The White Hex-Logic Pad should be used for final polishing.
So, when is it okay to use P4 alone? This video covered the combo C4+P4. What if the paintwork condition does not need a C4, for example it has just hologram marks and very light scratches? Is P4 okay to use on its own in that scenario?
Hi there! P4 can be used by itself when removing fine scratches, swirls, scuffs and holograms.
So which is a lighter cutting polish, C4 or V36? Or are they about the same? If not can you briefly describe the difference between C4 and V36. Thanks!
Hey! C4 is a compound that offers more abrasives than V36 which is a cutting polish.
I have a Mercedes hyacinth red Car. It has swirl marks which are visible in direct sunlight. German cars have harder paint. So, I am very confused with the VSS ONE-STEP SCRATCH & SWIRL and C4/P4. Please suggest.
Hello! Use a compound such as C4 to remove deep scratches and swirls then refine the finish with P4.
My car has been ceramic coated and I am finding it hard to remove light scratches as the coating is so hard any Ideas how I can remove them and will I have to reapply a coating after?
Hey! Machine polishing is the most effective method of removing swirls and scratches, however it also removes the coating. A compound such as V34 will greatly reduce and remove imperfections.
is that true we do not often use compound? because it can scrape paint thickness. So many people in my conutry recommend to use Compound in six month, but not until six month some swirl mark appears in car body. Can u give some advice for me & my car is soft paint but already coated
Hello! Yes, it is best to always start with the least aggressive approach first due to the fact that every time you polish, you will remove a fine layer of clear coat.
The V line products are the best hands down.
Thanks so much for the incredible feedback!
What do you recommend from the v32-v38 brand for color sanding from 1000-3000 grit? What color pad for compound? Polish?
Hey! Start with a test spot in an inconspicuous area using an Orange Hex-Logic Pad and V34 Hybrid Compound to determine if more or less abrasives are needed.
Please do a hex logic pad video, I need to know more
Hey! Check out this link.
czcams.com/video/K-bpCVc2Iyg/video.html
suppose using v36 w/orange pad and not satisfied, do we move to v34 on orange pad or stick with v36 on a yellow pad? Just trying to understand when going more aggressive, do we go with the pad first or compound first. Thx.
I know this is late but just be careful not to permanently damage your paint by being to aggressive. Very easy to burn your paint or just completely mess it up by not knowing what your doing.
Would v36 with orange cutting pad to v38 with white pad work good?
Great combination!
What would I use for a 2016 Buick verano that sideswiped another car and has some deep scratches? I was looking at the kit with the 4 v products and the polisher. Would that work fine? Would I need to buy a clear coat as well to keep the shine? And would I need something to clean the pads if I wanted to use them on my car a 2021 Subaru WRX STi that has been hit from behind that only has minor scratches? I don't want the paint from the one car I used the polisher on to potentially scratch my car further. Thanks for the help!!! I'm a neeb in polishing
Hi there! For deep scratches try using an Orange Hex-Logic Pad and V34 Hybrid Compound. It may be necessary to use touch-up paint before polishing. Check out Polishing Pad Cleaner to remove spent product from your polishing pads.
@@ChemicalGuys awesome thank you?!!
Very informative; I would like to see a pad breakdown also. Maybe color code the numbers on the product with the color of your recommended pad. Orange numbers for orange pad etc. If you want slightly more aggressive pad it's X, slightly less would be Y. I need all the help I can get. 😀
Thanks so much for your feedback!
Can you use one of these compounds on headlights? I know you sell your head light restore kits, but a little tight on money till I get these next couple of customers in and I ran out!
Yes, absolutely!
Can you use VSS and then top it with P4 for minor scratches and lots of swirls?
Absolutely!!
What would you recommend for scratches and
paint transfer on a 2016 Audi car?
Hi there! Try using an Orange Hex-Logic Pad with V36 Cutting Polish to restore a smooth finish.
Do you compound the entire car first then come back to polish or compound and polish 1 panel at a time?
Hey Mitchell! Save time by using compound on the entire vehicle first then following up with polish.
Question if I used VSS. Ounce u are done do u wax the car ?
Yes! Lock in shine and repel harsh elements by applying your favorite coatings.
What are you spraying with the pads before start polishing ? Water or some quick detailer?
Many thanks!
Hey! Check out Polishing Pad Conditioner.

hello on a Mercedes
first orange or green pad with 34/36/c4 than can i use Black pad with 38/p4 to finish? ???
Hi there! Try starting with a test spot using the least aggressive approach such as an Orange Hex-Logic Pad and V36 Cutting Polish. If more abrasives are needed try C4 or even V34. Refine with a White Hex-Logic Pad with P4 Precision Paint Polish and/or V38 Final Polish.
@@ChemicalGuys thank you
Do I need a certain color of the P4 if I have a pearl white car?
Hi there! P4 is best paired with a White Hex-Logic Pad.
I work in a body shop buffing fresh paint and have to wet sand panels with 2000 grit. Should I go with the c4 or the v32?
Also, which is the fastest and easiest to wipe away?
Hi Jordan! I highly recommend using V34 Hybrid Compound to refine sanding marks.
I carry my chemicals in the trunk. Some of the compounds that aren't regularly used are starting to dry up.
Are they still good?
Can they be restored to a liquid?
Or are they done for?
Hi there! Shake your products periodically to prevent separation.
Please explain the pads
Thank you
Great suggestion!
do i have to check how thick my clear coat before?
Hey! It is not necessary to check paint thickness before using the V-Line of C4/P4 unless the vehicle has already been polished several times.
Also how do you clean the pad ?
Hello! Check out Polishing Pad Cleaner to remove spent product and rejuvenate your pads.

Would love seeing you guys do sum work by hand to show the people who dont have the machine how good you guys can use your product by hand too😏
Thanks so much for your feedback!
Can i use the vss to polish the windshield?
Absolutely!
After you use these products can you do a wax over it ?
Hi Guillermo! Yes, after polishing apply your favorite coatings to lock in shine and repel harsh elements.
VSS for brand new car? Which pad?
Hey! We recommend using VSS with an Orange Hex-Logic Pad.
Which is more aggressive c4 or v34 ?
Hi Steven! V34 will be slightly more aggressive than C4.
What do you recommend for a new car? V36 with V38?
Hey Bryan! Depending on the condition of the paintwork use V36 then V38 to jewel refine marring and holograms in the paintwork.
@@ChemicalGuys thanks. I was going to wash then claybar. Followed by V36 then v38. Do I do ceramic coat after V38?
What would y’all recommend for a brand new midnight black Chevy traverse ?
I should be getting it soon and will probably clay if the paint is rough, follow with polish and than hydro slick ceramic.
Just not sure if I should stick with vss or do you recommend something else ?
Thank you
GD
Hi there! Start with the least aggressive approach such as P4 Precision Paint Polish with a White Hex-Logic Pad.
Pad break down for sure
