Hex-Logic Polishing / Buffing Pads:

Engineered, developed and tested to specific requirements of our OEM clients. These pads utilize the best foams from around the world and the latest of testing and research and development including Chemical Guys own Self Centered backing system!
The Hexagon is not new to science, it's just new to detailing. Rather then try to reinvent some catchy gimmick, Chemical Guys invests in technology that through the years has simply been unbeatable and improves on it. Hex-Logic pads are designed to hold product and distribute it evenly over the surface of the pad, delivering a superior even finish that is hard to achieve with any other pad.
Nature selected the Hexagon for storage and designed it to be one of the most efficient holding cells. For example a mass of hexagonal wax cells built by honey bees in their nests to store honey and pollen. The bees build the comb with 6 sides for even distribution of product fast and effectively.

Would orange be used with rubbing compound?
what about yellow.
WHAT ABOUT YELOOWWWWW!?
@@lumpyrex007 yellow is the heaviest cutting pad like if your paint has scratches that are deep and you cant get them out with the orange
If polishing is used to bring out shine and remove scratches, and there are harder pads that u can use, why do u use “compound”?
Also... is green and orange pads for compounding and the ones on the bottom for polishing?
Great vid. Thanks for the explanation. It's nice to see the breakdown on all the pads. Thanks again!
Thank you guys so much! I have all the hex logic pads, but I've been using them wrong and getting frustrated. This video has shown me exactly which pad I should be using. Thanks again for taking the time to make the video. Reminds me, I need to order a few new pads!
Every Paintwork is Unique. Even in a specific manufacturer, the paint can differ from model to model. Every paintwork requires a "Test Spot" to ensure you have a proper combination. I would recommend to start with V36 and an orange pad as a baseline then adjust the pad or polish accordingly to achieve the desired results.

Great vid
I wish I can see the vid for each one of them
Than You. Enjoyed this because I learned something important about the quality, selection to use the right pads for the right resulting in an excellent car polish job. Using the right pad is important as you do not want the incorrectly use a pad not suitable for a particular and demanding job and ruin a car's paint worth several thousands of dollars. Its illuminating and enjoyed it very much.

Hi! Check out the chart below to see all the color pads and their uses. It's a really useful thing to have around the garage. Thanks for watching and make sure to check back tomorrow for a new video upload! www.chemicalguys.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/HexLogicPolishingPadChart.jpg
Chemical Guys so is this universal?
I was wondering if I was using my microfiber correctly. Glad I'm using for final polish. I thought it was maybe cutting like wool. Turns out I need wool for an agro cutting pad. My pads are cheaper and different via Amazon, but this was helpful. I definitely see the value in chem guys pads also, which might make me purchase in future once I learn basics with my vehicles
Cool, thanks. I'll have to try that out.
I'm a big Chemical guy fan here. Their products, along with the videos have educated me a good bit and I'm thankful for that so Cheer's!!
Thanks for the amazing feedback!
I appreciate your honesty on educating us!!

Thank will do! I apply 50/50 by hand but I am new to the Carnuba and Liquid Carnuba....

I have a Milwaukee 5540 rotary and was wondering if anyone here has used the hex-logic pads for cutting/polishing with this unit. I need to find the proper backing plate as well so the hex-logic pads will work. Or... should I just break down and buy a new dual-action unit.
Very comprehensive explanation of the various types of pad. Thank you.Ps: Ignore those who accuse you of "stalling and repeating". Sadly, these days, many people have the attention span of a gnat.
Yeah. They have no patience. I wonder what they're like in the bedroom.
Very 'handy'.
I agree - good call.
very helpful video....thanks!
Thanks for watching and for sharing your feedback!
Thanks for info learn alot
Awesome video! What pad/polish would you recommend to remove light-to-moderate swirls on a WHITE Mercedes GLK? (would be using a Porter Cable 7424XP)
I'm glad you guys started using a separate mic to pick up your voice, I can actually hear what's being said now. Great videos, I plan on buying a bunch of stuff once spring rolls around
Try using less polish. It seems like maybe you are using a little too much. You should only use 5 small dots for each section. You can always add more polish to the pad if you didnt add enough but it is much more difficult to remove polish. Once your pad gets saturate with "spent" polish, you need to clean the pad using a pad cleaning brush or a Pad Washer. I personally prefer the Pad Washer because its gets the pads VERY clean with little effort.

hi the video is perfect for the beginners who wants to get their cars polished.question: I have a bmw x5 2008, does it have a hard paint or soft paint?
great explanation, thanks a lot, I just bought a new car and it does not have many swirls, still I want to correct the most as possible before coating, sadly in my garage I can't use my polish machine, but since it does not have many deep swirls I will do it by hand. which pad would you recommend me to do this job? thanks in advance.
Thanks for this video. What pads would you suggest I use on an 05 Navigator. It has been neglected through the years and has plenty of small scratchs. I want it to look good, I dont think I want to go through cuting, polishing and then wax. Can i go straight to polish and wax or would that be a waste of time?
I want to do a two step process(polish pad & finish pad) on a '07 Altima. It has light oxidation and light scratches. What two pads, polish, & wax do you recommend?

What if I use the black pad for a finishing polish like Menzerna SF4500? It would still have the amount of cut the polish offers right? And if I jump up to a white pad with the same polish, this just offers more cut?
I will be using a Shurhold DA buffer.
Hey CG, which pads work best with 2007 BMWs? Polishing and removing some scratches.

HI. The issue is in 4" I can not get a Blue pad (finest polishing one). It does come with a black pad however. Can this pad still work with polishing as I imagine it's the polish that's doing the work even if it's on a soft pad?
Super nice. Thank you.

Hi can the foam pads be used as hand applicators . Can i use the pads by hand or are they for machine only thanks
very helpful (weird sound, though)
How about Scholl S20 ?
I have managed to remove pretty heavy swirl marks from careless washings in 3 passes.
Used wool pad but with wool been as human straight thin hairs.
Pad went dry in seconds. Every half of the pass had to reapply S20 and moisture pad with spray water.
Loved the results but process and amount of product made me cry. Tried medium firm thick none flexi pad but for noob me it was jumping in my hands and i could not get to hard to reach , places and bends ....
Could you please recommend some flexi pad for Scholl S20 1 step compound.
I need flexy so can press on the edge and get it flexing over bends.
Please Kind Sir
