Polishing: The Art Of Detailing

Auto detailing is mostly a maintenance activity. All the proper wash methods, tools, chemicals, sealants, and waxes are used to reduce the chances of scratching paint, maintain the integrity and look of automotive materials, and hide minor scratches, swirls, and imperfections. The only part of detailing that will actually repair paint, remove scratches, and fix problems is machine polishing. Polishing removes the top layers of 'dead' paint to level the surface and reveal a flat surface with lustrous deep reflection once again. Picking the right combination of machine, pad, and chemical is crucial to getting the best results without taking off too much paint. Chemical Guys VSS Scratch & Swirl Remover is the perfect one-step polish that produces exceptional results, and saves time!

It will remove many moderate to heavy surface imperfections and 1500 /1700 grit sand scratches, swirls, scuff marks, spider webbing, and most surface imperfections.

    Customers are satisfied with the appearance of the abrasive. They mention that it leaves a nice shine and removes scratches. The paint looks great afterwards, and is ready for a ceramic spray.

    Glass Like Finish, Does Exactly As Advertised, Very Worth It
    This review is also coupled with the other products I used as they all helped to get to my final finish. Products used in my setup:Chemical Guys VSSChemical Guys White LightCarPro Cquartz UK 3.0Torq X Polisher with Orange Pad for Cutting and Blue Pad for spreading the White Light.Meguires Claybar 200gGriots Garage Iron RemoverMothers Magnesium PolishUsed Provided Microfiber clothes from Polisher (from chemical Guys)Now I did not take a picture at each step in the process as the end result is what truly matters and it saves 30 photos being uploaded here. I did inspect the paint at every single new stage and can report for each step. I will do my best to be descriptive with my findings to help all those who come after me.This work is done on a 2016 Summit White Camaro with 34,000mi on it and I got the car at 21,000mi from previous owner. I have about 3/4 years experience detailing but that is not needed to get amazing results, just time spent on the work itself. The first owner did leave scratches and swirls from improper washing but this was all on the surface. My process took my 9 hours not stop start to finish including all curing times and standard waiting period. This work was done on a vehicle stored in a garage overnight at a constant 65 degrees thanks to three heaters.1. I have the vehicle a wash with My standard soap setup and I don’t believe this had any effect on the end result as it was a simple car shampoo with zero additives but it was ph neutral. I wash my car weekly even up in Chicago winters so I don’t need a strong soap.2. I proceeded to use the iron remover on all surfaces of the vehicle with little agitation after the dwell time and proceeded to wash off with a spray bottle of water and a microfiber towel.3. After drying the vehicle I then claybarred the entire vehicle on every painted surface and used regular water as lubricant to avoid introducing extra oils or substances to my finish. After this step the paint was incredibly smooth and contaminant free as I spent pain staking time going over each body panel to make sure every single spot was touched and fixed up. It took awhile but it is all in the prep work when polishing and then ceramic coating as that final layer locks in all your work, and imperfections if you’re not careful.4. I then took some rubbing alcohol and lightly went over the entire vehicle to ensure a sterile surface and I didn’t feel the paint at this step as I did previously and this was entirely about keeping it contaminant free.5. I then took out my polisher and VSS and began taking off my scratches and swirls. There are tons of videos on YouTube from chemical Guys to teach you how to properly do this so I will skip the lesson, I did use the Orange Hexlogic cutting pad. After working in small areas and taking my time very slowly I worked panel by panel and I was happy with the little fatigue I experienced from using the machine. At the very end of the day it didn’t feel like I used the polisher for the 5 hours that I did total, very impressed. I bugged off the Polish per the instructions and wait time and was left with an incredibly glass like surface that eliminated all of the imperfections of the paint. This took the longest off all steps and was close to how long my clay service was but I wanted to leave no swirl behind and I spent very long. (A desk chair with wheels or anything to sit that rolls makes your life thousands of times easier than standing for so long)6. I followed Up the Polish with the WhiteLight and using the polisher to spread the glaze was incredibly easy and a little goes a long way. You use way less than if you did it by hand and it spreads very thin and I used speed setting two for this with no pressure but the weight of the machine to apply. After this step was complete I checked the finish and it was like a mirror, cool to the touch and silent when touching with the back of my hand. I was very impressed and I went into this thinking there was a placebo effect that it’s for white cars it’ll make it pop but I’ll only think so after pouring hours into it and wanting to see a difference. I got two outside opinions from the start of the day to this step and they noticed a massive difference and compared this to a car on a museum showroom it was perfect.7. I then followed up this process with applying my ceramic coating and this was a very easy process with incredibly fast flash time and the spreading was incredibly easy and a little went a very very very long way. I barely used a quarter of the vile and it always had an even coat that I checked constantly under light to make sure I wasn’t running it too thin. I have a plastidipped black roof and rear section of the vehicle and I tested a small spot first and when there wasn’t a reaction I also coated the plastidip as the box said it’s ph neutral and safe on nearly anything. After applying I noticed the plastidip had a slick feel and was very glossy (I had 3/4 coats of gloss on mine as I wanted the gloss level to match the OEM white) and I was very impressed. The pictures provided are after I finished the entire day with my vehicle, although this was the last step the paint saw.8. My last steps were using mothers metal polish for my exhaust tips and what an incredible difference it made. I later cleaned my windows and interior and followed up with my engine bay and then my tires. Finished the day with Meguirs Tire Gel and then let the vehicle sit before I drove it for as long as I could that the time of day would allow for.Overall the combination of the products worked incredibly well and each one used for the paint would be amazing by itself and in combination with your other favorite products, I just gave my list of products used to help others as I love reading in depth reviews for these important topics and the amount of products out there. My pictures provided aren’t of the highest quality as I can’t take quality photos and it was a long day and I was just happy to drive my car after. I would entirely recommend the products and the others mentioned and the biggest thing is the prep it takes to get the paint entirely clean and then having the time in the day to devote to this job. I haven’t tested the ceramic capabilities as it has to allow 24 hours before contacting water at all and then it still cures over the next 5 or so days, but it feels and looks amazing. I recommend 100% and I am in love with the look and feel of my vehicle.

I have a plastidipped black roof and rear section of the vehicle and I tested a small spot first and when there wasn’t a reaction I also coated the plastidip as the box said it’s ph neutral and safe on nearly anything. After applying I noticed the plastidip had a slick feel and was very glossy (I had 3/4 coats of gloss on mine as I wanted the gloss level to match the OEM white) and I was very impressed. The pictures provided are after I finished the entire day with my vehicle, although this was the last step the paint saw.

    8. My last steps were using mothers metal polish for my exhaust tips and what an incredible difference it made. I later cleaned my windows and interior and followed up with my engine bay and then my tires. Finished the day with Meguirs Tire Gel and then let the vehicle sit before I drove it for as long as I could that the time of day would allow for.

    Overall the combination of the products worked incredibly well and each one used for the paint would be amazing by itself and in combination with your other favorite products, I just gave my list of products used to help others as I love reading in depth reviews for these important topics and the amount of products out there. My pictures provided aren’t of the highest quality as I can’t take quality photos and it was a long day and I was just happy to drive my car after. I would entirely recommend the products and the others mentioned and the biggest thing is the prep it takes to get the paint entirely clean and then having the time in the day to devote to this job. I haven’t tested the ceramic capabilities as it has to allow 24 hours before contacting water at all and then it still cures over the next 5 or so days, but it feels and looks amazing. I recommend 100% and I am in love with the look and feel of my vehicle.

    Used this product on my Silverado which had a number of fine scratches (desert pin stripes) from over the years. It was easy to apply with the chemical guys torq dual action orbital polisher. Removed most of the fine scratches and made my truck shine like new.
