ChemicalGuys GAPVKIT101 V36 Optical Grade Cutting Polish and V38 Final Polish (473.2 ml)

Good

The product works. I wouldn’t recommend for recently painted cars if you’re in a rush. Moreover, polyurethane automotive paint. I wish the product reviews mentioned how it cuts anything that isn’t lacquer. If you want to polish a car to sell then this is a great product. It doesn’t even matter the amount of catalyzer even if it’s 2:1 sitting in baking sun. I’d recommend anyone buying this product also purchase 1,200 and 3,000 grit sandpaper. It doesn’t cut well with 2,000 nor 2,500.

First 2 photos are before and the last 3 are after. I used V36 with a compound hex pad followed by V38 with the same pad on a DA polisher. The results are amazing. This was done in my driveway in winter at minus 4 Celsius. Because Canadian, ya know. Cut through almost all scratches and eliminated the spider webbing/ swirls. Highly recommended. Car is a 2015 Chevy Cruze Diesel. This was followed by Chemical Guys jet seal (MUST HAVE) and Chemical Guys Bitter wet wax. Both amazing products.

The V36 is listed as a cutting polish, with polish being the operative word here. so be aware it's not a cutting compound and wont remove "moderate to heavy paint defects and imperfections" as listed in the description. On its own the V36 does a great job of polishing. When combined with the V38 they produce a mirror shine, even on my old work van that hasn't had anything beyond a handwash in the last 9 years. It also works great at restoring plastic trim.

These guys know how to make a great product!!!!!! Easy to use, phenomenal finish and pride in complete work process Buy with Confidence this really is a “ Top Shelf” product combination
