Chemical Guys redefined the industry standard for polishes and compounds with the full complement of the V-Line. Not sure which polishing compound you need to get the job done? With the V-Line Sampler, professional and enthusiast detailers have access to heavy compounds for removing deep defects like scratches and swirl marks, and lighter polishes to restore pure reflection and glossy depth for unbelievably-shiny paint. Test the heavier V32 and V34 compounds on deep scratches, intense swirl marks, and oxidation to remove severe damage and restore reflection to the paint. After compounding, or when dealing with lighter swirl marks on a newer car, test out V36 and V38 to refine the gloss, shine, and clarity of the painted finish. Use the full V-Line Kit to restore paintwork, clear optical plastics on headlights and tail lights, wheel finishes, carbon fiber, and any other exterior car part that is shiny or clear. The refined micro-abrasives of the V-Line come in coarse compounding grits, and refined polishing grits that can remove wet-sanding marks with just a dual-action polisher. This unprecedented leap in polishing technology opens up professional-level paint correction and headlight restoration possibilities to enthusiasts and weekend warriors alike. Never guess: test and check to find the best polishing combination for any car, truck, motorcycle, RV, or SUV with the Chemical Guys V-Line of polishing compounds.
Paint technology is one of fastest growing segments of the automotive industry. Vehicle manufacturers now use advanced paint technology like ceramic clear coats and water-based paints that last longer than ever imagined. These advancements in scratch-resistant and ceramic clear coats have changed the way professionals and enthusiasts maintain the showroom fresh look of painted finishes. Scratch-resistant and ceramic clear coats resist scratches and blemishes in most situations, but also pose a difficult challenge when removing the swirls, scratches, marring, and holograms that do end up in the paintwork.
In order to give detailing professionals and enthusiasts a fighting chance, Chemical Guys spent three years developing V32 to give the user the highest level of cutting power in a safe and easy-to-use formula.

How To Use:
Start by preparing the painted surface for polishing with a full wash and clay bar decontamination service. The surface must feel smooth as glass before attempting any polishing with an abrasive compound.
Polish a Test Spot to determine what combination of polishing machine, pads, and polishing compounds work best for your paintwork. Once you find a combination that works on the one spot, replicate the same process over the entire vehicle. Make adjustments if different panels respond differently to polishing.
