How To Use A Polisher - Car Detailing Basics - Chemical Guys - TORQX Dual Action Polisher

Somebody washed the hood of this brand new Nissan Versa with an abrasive pad, steel wool, or Scotch Brite scrubber, and it ruined the gloss and shine in the spot. The damage is highly visible, but luckily it was only superficial and easily removed through polishing with the TORQX dual action polisher!

[@ncognitod.460]

Probably the best tutorial I have ever watched for any purpose. This guy is a great teacher! Thank you for this. It helps that it's a dark colored car too.

[@mariaa.confortimswlcsw4193]

It would be really helpful if you made a play list of your specific videos and it would be nice to at least know your first name. I'm so grateful for your style and presentation. I know chemical guys are 😢different people and i love that but it would be great to follow our people who we learn best from too.

[@rustycleaver8231]

I appreciate that the steps were presented in a well spoken and orderly manner. Thank You.

[@AdrianJayeOnline]

agreed, best video on the subject I've seen so far

[@danwilliams9339]

Agreed! Excellent tutorial!

[@thisguy4614]

The moment he added the material to the pad it looked like an artist and with a palette of paint. If you consider the tone of his voice, the cadence of his dialogue, and editing style; it felt like a video for Bob Ross Joy of Detailing.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Thanks for watching!!

[@2skyland]

Using a brillo pad is way too aggressive for bird droppings...I usually use a hammer

[@critical_mass8279]

Hammer AND a chisel works it even better.

[@alierikenoglu8006]

Jackass.

[@robertpeters2741]

I find a small jack hammer does the job.

[@peterpanassow7814]

Hahahaha!!! Good one

[@shivampatel1359]

I just set the car on fire 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@zchilli0808]

I’m pushing way too hard, moving too fast, and using too much product 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for the instructional videos for the novice. Learning on my old beater cars so mistakes don’t matter too much.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Thanks so much for tuning in!

[@LaszloBazso]

Excellent video, very informative and finally someone showed the whole procedure and did not skip minutes during polishing, as some others do. Thanks!

[@ChemicalGuys]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@marcomedina7528]

I agree also liked how he gave reason and the why

[@ronaldpena7121]

Chemical guys are always showing each chemical with steps on how to use before applying 👍🏼💯 always watching their videos

[@neilwatson5864]

Has to be for me, one of the most clearly explained demonstrations of how to deal with a horrible Scratch. Must put a Torx polisher on my Wanted for Gift list. Thanks. Theatre job and great vid.

[@nofsgiven3855]

Don’t recommed it get the flex

[@stevegannonhandmade]

You are an excellent instructor. You know what you are doing/talking about; you explain clearly AND point out what you are doing AND why. You explained each step as you went, and not only what to do right, but why to not do more/less. Thank you!

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hi Steve! Thanks for your awesome feedback, we are glad to have you apart of the Chemical Guys family!

[@retrogaming1986]

This is exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you Chemical Guys

[@BonheurEsperer]

Love the features of the Torqx dual action polisher. Got to have it!!

[@persianchris2451]

I knew I liked this guy in the 1st minute of this video from the way he explained things in detail, really breaking it down. Really appreciate it!!!

[@ChemicalGuys]

Glad you liked it!

[@toosoonjunior1317]

Great tutorial! Just got my Torqx and completed the first real polish I've ever done. This was a very handy how-to and helped me achieve great results with an application of v34!

[@ChemicalGuys]

Great to hear! Don't forget to tag us on your awesome results!

[@LewisFoster]

Thanks. This was a nice, easy to follow guide. I just had a go on my old Honda Accord Type R with very cloudy paintwork and this video gave me the confidence to spin faster and with more pressure that I'd have done otherwise. Got some great results on the patch I tried so can't wait to do more!

[@ChemicalGuys]

Happy detailing!

[@Bill4Vendetta]

I just started using my Torqx yesterday. Since I have a little bit of experience for the previous day, your video made a lot of sense. It was very helpful as it explained how I needed to improve my technique.

[@ChemicalGuys]

We're so glad the video was helpful!

[@sonidomusicalgar5110]

The orbital machines are very good and leave a good shine. Thanks for videos.

[@peterburt2905]

Thanks for the video. Really helpful, clear and enough info to get the job done. It's great when people prepare and think about what they will say in a video before pressing record. Cheers.

[@joehlloyd]

This was a great tutorial. I really appreciate that you did it in real-time so we know how long we should reasonably be doing it for, thanks.

[@Islam.Is.Easy.To.Understand.]

Yes and w/out blasting a soundtrack 👏👏👏👏👏

[@marcoluoma3770]

Thanks for a very clear and beginner-friendly video. I like that you didn’t skip ahead so we could see how long it should take.

[@ChemicalGuys]

[@joeinfl5610]

Great video! Really liked how you explained and showed the correct pressure to apply with the machine.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Thanks for the awesome feedback, happy detailing!

[@oregonhighway]

Nice intro to using a machine. I did some spot polishing with a cloth years ago, but I've got mineral deposits from a farmer's sprinkler to deal with now. Too much to deal with using a cloth, but was concerned about using a machine on my paint. Off to try it on a test area. Thanks for posting this!

[@giorassiccuriosity1796]

These people from the chemical guys are amazing! Detailed and well laid out videos- all very informative.

[@ChemicalGuys]

[@chansichen8054]

One of the best videos you guys have. Just bought the DA polisher kit and this helped. The other videos are all just "use chemical guus polisher with Chemical guys pad and chemical guys etc etc"

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hi Chan, thank you for watching. We're a company that's really passionate about cars, so our mission is to keep them as clean as possible using tools that don't cause harm to your sensitive paintwork. What really drives us is passion, an we know that people really want to do a great job detailing their own vehicles as well. We look at allot of products on the market, and we try to come up with better solutions because we notice many inefficiencies. Mainly we're all about making people's lives easier, I didn't know anything about detailing, but I've watched enough of our videos to take on most jobs, and I was fortunate enough to participate in the SDU training program which opened my eyes to the possibility of detailing vehicles as a viable business. We provide the tools so people can develop the confidence to do the things they thought were not possible.

[@s.c.p.0494]

I like to use 3m Finesse It 2 after claying... it's not too agressive, but it will buff out any swirls and 5000grit sanding scratches, and it really brings a dull clear coat to life

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Californification]

Hi, thanks for the video. Very nicely done. I am trying to decide between the Porter Cable 7424XP and the TorQX polisher you are using in this video. Can you compare the two? Which one should I go with if I am a novice just starting out with detailing my cars? I haven't seen any feedback on the TorQX other than what Chemical Guys say because they sell it. The PC 7424XP has really good reviews and seems to have been around longer. Just looking for feedback on if one is preferred over the other. Thanks.

[@markokujundzic6049]

How about degreasing after polishing? Would like to see if its really polished or just overlayed

How often are you supposed to wash your microfiber towels and wash mitts? After every wash? Also what do you do with the wash mitts after a car wash?

[@reyboricua1]

I have a torqx and would like to know how often must I so maintenance on my polisher if any is needed?

[@itimothyjay]

Will this process work on a vehicle that got a small nick from a road debris (about less than 1/8" diameter) that has been filled with a touch up paint and sealant, to create a more even look?

[@JasonLuxLover]

I just bought several of your products and a polisher from Amazon I use some of the VSS by hand and it’s working good I just don’t know if I need something stronger my car that I bought was neglected it’s a Cadillac CTS and it needs some paint correction and a high gloss finish thinking about putting some type of clearcoat or ceramic coating or something on it

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Check out C4 Clear Cut Compound for more cutting power. Absolutely, apply a ceramic such as HydroSlick to lock in your hard work.

[@dailyinfo7906]

highly appreciate for this video. can you please let me know the color code of the car in this video?

Can we polish car in a cold weather? Or what temperature should we do polishing.

[@paulrobinson5492]

Great video! Very clearly explained. Thanks

[@socomsnipa904]

I have a new torqx haven't used it yet. Tons of scratches need to be removed. after that can I use the machine to add glazes and waxes over the factory racing stripes(2013 dodge challenger). I'm sure obviously i wouldn't use a cutting pad over the stripes. But i want to make sure the paint in between the different lines of the stripes and the stripes themselves look good and are protected.

[@SecretSauceyjuice]

Trevaris Long Use a soft pad with lighter pressure on any raised paint like pinstripes or decals and it should be fine.
