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?

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. -Greg@CG

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. -Greg@CG.

Hi Hal, this is a trifling question indeed, I actually found a really detailed article on the subject that I think will answer many of your questions, and it will teach me a thing or too about pads as well. The simple answer is the stiffness of the pad and the density of the foam, however I'll take a seat back and allow the article to more accurately describe what's actually happening. www.ereplacementparts.com/article/2663/Abrasives_Polishing_Pads.html C.G.

I have a 1986 classic car 🚗 with original paint. It sat in a garage for a number of years before I bought it and the owner told me something must have dripped on the top of the car while it was storage. It looks almost like water stains, but it’s not. A friend came by with his D.A. polisher, but it only removed the haze in the finish, the marks or swirls still remain. Anything you can suggest would be greatly appreciated as I would really like to save the paint as the car 33 years old and all original. Thanks in advance!

If time is not a problem and I have all the products, should I do a 2-3 step polish and finish with V38? I am asking because sometimes I see that you stop at V36 and was wondering if you stop there because the V38 would be overkill? Also I have a white 2013 volkswagen jetta and was wondering if that paint is considered ''hard'' or ''soft''? I tried V36 with an orange hex pad and it removed about 20% of the swirls. Should I try V34 or even V32 with an orange pad? I am affraid to go to aggresive. I have the torq 10FX and use it on speed 5

try sticking with the V36/VSS but switch over to the mircofiber pad. If that doesnt work u can switch over to a 34 with a yellow pad, and if that doesnt work then switch back over to a microfiber pad again and so forth. Just work your way down from least aggressive in pads and compounds. You'll see that there are many different combinations that could get the job done! hope this helps.

Thanks for checking out the video! I've included a link to the hex pad page of our site which outlines all the uses for the different polishing pads, I've also included a description of the orange pad which would be the best choice for you based on the amount of scratches and swirls in your car's paint. Orange Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad-This firm, high density foam is ideal for scratch and defect removal. The orange foam offers the correction of a typical compounding pad while at the same time allowing the polishing ability of light cut foam pad. When used with heavier compounds it will remove moderate swirls and scratches with little or no haze. Its an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections. www.chemicalguys.com/Hex_Logic_7_5_Buffing_Pad_Kit_p/buf_hexkits_9da.htm

So I can use the orange pad for my black light, the white one for jet seal and the black one for butter wax ?

Hi! Use the Orange Hex-Logic Pad for compound/polish and the White Hex-Logic for final or light polish. The Black Hex-Logic Pad can be used to apply glaze, sealant and/or wax.

How do these pads stick to the base pad? I have a 5” air driven orbital sander with hook and loop base pad. Can I use it with these pads and will it buff out a hand wax job? How many pads will I need to apply wax and buff out wax?

Hi there! The Hex-Logic Pad also uses a hook and loop backing to attach to the corresponding backing plate. Wax can be applied with one finishing pad such as the Black Hex-Logic Pad and buffed off with a clean microfiber towel.

Chemical guys I have a fairly brand new car, but I want to remove the dealership swirls and what not. Which pads do you recommend?

Hi! We recommend starting with v36 and an orange pad. From there, you can either get more aggressive if needed, or proceed on to the refining stages. We highly encourage you to read the article below which gives you a step by step tutorial on how you should proceed through the polishing process. Thanks for watching and happy detailing! www.chemicalguys.com/How_To_Choose_The_Right_Compound_Or_Polish_For_Your_Car_s/644.htm

Hi! We always recommend starting on a test spot with V36 and an Orange Pad and then adjusting from there. Wax will not remove any scratches and is a final step in the detailing process. When you get to that step, you can use a cream wax like Butter Wet Wax (my favorite), which is super easy and fast to apply, or you can go with a traditional paste wax such as Pete's 53. I'm going to link an article about how to choose the proper pad, compound, and polish for your car. It will lay out each step you need to take to figure out exactly what products are right for your car. I will also link Butter Wet Wax, Pete's 53, and the detailing flow chart below so you can see all the steps to a full detail in their proper order. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for a new video dropping later today! www.chemicalguys.com/How_To_Choose_The_Right_Compound_Or_Polish_For_Your_Car_s/644.htm www.chemicalguys.com/Butter_Wet_Wax_16_oz_p/wac_201_16.htm www.chemicalguys.com/Pete_s_53_Carnauba_Paste_Wax_8_oz_p/wac_300.htm www.chemicalguys.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/ChemicalGuysDetailingFlowChart.jpg

I'm in the process of polishing a 1946 Teardrop trailer that's made out of aircraft aluminum that has oxidized, and I've done one side of the trailer by using Blue Magic metal cleaner which came out okay but was a lot of work I'm not going to try with pads on side but was wondering which pad I should use to apply the Blue Magic metal cleaner with? The wool pad or one of the foam pads? Thanks for any help you can give .
