Chemical Guys GAPVKIT16 V Line Polish and Compound Kit (473.2 ml)

It is worth the value for your money, and it took me awhile to get used to it with different polishing pads, I am still experimenting with the products. The end result is great the sheerness is great and the products are applied great.

About 6 months after I got a new truck I took it off-roading, rolling down narrow trails for about 8 hours. Branches often scrapped the sides of the truck leaving hundreds of superficial scratches. Fortunately, nothing that wouldn't buff out. I had some MacG*****, you know the product. I had enough to do one side of the truck. Worked my way through 4 different "grits". It took a couple hours+ but it removed most of the scratches. I wanted to try out this product so I bought the 4 pack and used it to do the other side of the truck. Chemical Guys recommended using the lightest grit first to reduce how much paint gets removed. Okay, I tried it. One pass removed 90% of the scratches. Second pass, they were 99% removed. Doing the whole side of the truck took a half hour or so and left the truck much more shiny than the other side. I was really impressed. It was a little harder to wipe off than the other product but worked so much better it more than made up for the time. I didn't intend this to be a side-by-side comparison, I just wanted the scratches out of my truck's paint. Running out of product halfway just made it work out to be exactly that, a side by side comparison. I found it works much better than the other stuff. The most aggressive grit is quite aggressive, you may not need to buy the 4 pack, you might just get by with the least 1 or 2 aggressive levels depending on what you're buffing out. I also do woodworking, I turn pens on a lathe for fun and profit and I use this product to shine up CA glue finish and resin castings. I had similar results to my experience with the truck. It worked so much better than the McG product. It really reduced my sanding time. I used to go through all the micro-mesh pads then use McG, now I sand to 600 and just use the Chemical Guys product, done! I will absolutely be buying this again. Funny thing, it's easier to buy on Amazon than the Chemical Guys website. They'd been out for months when i thought to check Amazon and was surprised to find it available. So, bottom line, this is a really good product and well worth the extra money. You may not need such an aggressive grit though so you might consider just getting the lightest grit first and trying it out. Good luck and happy buffing.

These are very good for polishing epoxyglass resin, even the coarsest delivers a glassy shine. I've dedicated a foam disc to each grade. The aroma is quite tolerable, a vague and inoffensive lemony scent. The downside of these polishes is that they will reveal scratches deeper than 1200 grit or so, so make sure your work is well sanded!

These guys know what they are doing. I’m a professional detailer and these are great products. If they only came in bigger quantities.

I have to hand it to Chemical Guys - this buff and polish kit is well-priced, and does the job with the right buffer and pads. I have a 12-year-old car with 135k miles on the clock, and while it doesn't necessarily show its age, it does have its fair share of swirls, and a bit more oxidation of the paint on the hood than I'd like. I bought into the CG kit and all the accessories needed to do a makeover on my paint, and the products, used properly, made a world of difference. I won't go into the step-by-step, but I will say that a good washdown/scrubbing was needed, followed by a claybar treatment to get the tiny grit off the paint, before I could put this kit to full use. That said, I dove into the stepped process of Cut, Buff, Polish, Shine that these 4 bottles represent, and I am amazed at the results. The paint on the car looks new again, with the exception of the oxidized areas on the hood, which will likely just take a second application when the weather turns warm again. Bottom line: Couple this kit with CG's line of buffing pads, your random orbital of choice (I HIGHLY recommend the Porter Cable PC-7424), and take your time, following the on-label directions, and you'll have what looks like a shiney new car for a fraction of the price.
