Chemical GuysGap_V36_04 V36 Optical Grade Cutting Polish (4 oz)

I was not paid, or received a discount, in any way, for my review.I recently purchased a 2013 Audi A6. Five days after owning it, I noticed that one of the wood trims, on the passenger side dashboard, had a significant scratch/scrape on it. It was hidden by detailing liquid. Once the liquid wore off, the scrape appeared. It was large and very visible (about 1” by 1” size). I immediately started looking online for a way to fix it (My OCD was in full attack mode!!!!). During my search, I came across the following video: “How to: Polishing wood trim-chemical guys car care BMW”. I have never heard of Chemical guys before, but decided to give their products a try (even though their products seem to be more expensive than other brands). I purchased the Jet Seal, the V36 optical grade cutting polish, and ZFE Hex-Logic finishing had applicator polishing pads for the project (since it was what the video recommended). I followed the instructions on the video, and sure enough, little by little, the scratch/scrape disappeared. I was like magic!!!I have been jaded by so many products out there that promise to do something, but fail miserably at that promise when you use them. This is not the case. These three products when used in concert work stunningly. Mind you, this was done on a newer car, with already polished wood trim, and the results were still noticeable. After I was done with the passenger dashboard wood trim, it looked that much newer and glossier than the others, I had to do the same to the other wood trims throughout the car so they would all look uniform. I am truly astonished at how well these products worked together. I have told all my friends about it. Only regret is that I whish I had taken before and after pics.I highly recommend these three products to anyone looking to remove scratches or swirls from their wood trims. I have also used them on the clear coat of my bumper (I also noticed a small scratch there), with similar results. You will not be disappointed with these three products.Hope this info helps.

Good good very good

I drove an hour to buy my son a former loaner car from a dealership. It only had 5,000 miles on it and they said it was in pristine show room condition. But after driving there, when we looked it over it had two scratches on it. One of the scratches was an inch but the other one was 6 inches! I was ticked off. I asked if they could buff it out and they said they already tried. They refused to lower the price anymore saying they were already too tight on it. After reminding myself of the deal I was getting on a barely used car that still had most of its warranty, I went ahead and bought it. But those scratches annoyed me because they were on the driver side passenger door and I would see them every time I walked near the car.I got this stuff to see if it would help. I didn’t use a buffer. I just used a slightly damp cloth and my hands, and I got it to where you really have to look at the car at exactly the right angle to catch the very faint remnant of a line. I am guessing if I used tools I could have totally gotten it all the way out, but I didn’t want to mess with that. It is not visible to anyone but me, and that’s only because I know where to look. I even struggle to find it. So I am very happy with this product. Now the car really does look like it’s in pristine condition and I know if my sons gets any scratches, this stuff will be there to save the day.Just as an FYI, I don’t think the scratches we had went past the clear coat. For deeper scratches, I’m guessing this might not do the trick.

I bought my car used in October of 2022. I wanted to do a full paint correction to remove swirl marks from car washes from the previous owner. After doing a clay bar and applying this polish I discovered not only was my car black, but it was metallic and suddenly the metal flakes in the paint began to pop and sparkle in the sunlight. It added a whole new appreciation to the look of the car.The polish isn't enough though apply a quality sealer after the polish application is complete to hold in all of the hard work you just put into the polishing the car. While a power applicator isn't required it does help to work the polish into the paint and complete the job quicker.Keep in mind that the temperature where you do your polishing greatly impacts how quickly this polish dries. I did the work on a very warm and sunny day with a light breeze. If you do not get the polish off before it hardens you will have to re apply. Work in small sections no more than 2 ft by 2 ft unless the weather is cooler.

Removed fine scratches and swirls from my vehicles black paint. Left the finish super clear and smooth. Very easy to use, a little goes a long way. I just did a (1) step paint correction polish using this product and it performed beautifully. Great product, Great value!

I had TOUGH coffee stain on the car due to not removing spilled coffee soon enough.The spilled coffee was ignored (for months) and allowed to dry and etched INTO the surface coating of the car. (I guess coffee contains some kind of acid ...)The result was a very visible discoloration turning the glossy/shining black to kinda deep dark dull grey.I applied the compound using power tool and it REMOVES the ugly looking mark and RESTORE the shining glossy black!Very impressive.I suppose the car paint/body shop would charge me hundreds $$$$$ to do the same. I am glad that I tried this first.

I used this to buff and polish the polyurethane that I used to topcoat a nightstand, with very good results.
