- Hey, what's up guys?
Welcome back to an episode of,
"Chemical Guys Detail Garage."
Today, I'll be showing you guys how to properly diminish
and remove scratches and swirls fast and easy
from a dark color paint using a TORQ R.
Let's get started.
This Hyundai Veloster already got a wash.
I went with a waterless wash method.
I use Ecosmart waterless wash.
So all I had to do is grab Mr. Sprayer,
I rinsed on the surface of the vehicle,
and then I grabbed the premium microfriber towel,
wiped in one direction,
and after the surface was cleaned,
I moved on to a clay bar process.
A clay bar process is going to be a big step
before you get into polishing.
We always recommend clay bar in the surface of the vehicle,
because if you do not, your paint has contaminants in it
and whenever you bring a polisher to it,
it's going to embed them deeper down into the clerical
and over time it can cause more scratch and swirls.
So now it is time to get into the polishing step.
So today I thought it would be a great idea
to get fast acting results using the TORQ R.
The TORQ R is a rotary machine,
it's going to work faster
and diminish the scratch and swirls
sitting on this Hyundai Veloster
while bringing out an amazing shine.
So I will be doing a two-step polish.
This two-step Polish is going to consist
of an orange medium duty heavy cutting pad.
This pad is going to help me diminish the heavier scratches,
and then I'll be pairing the Orange Pad
with C4 Clear-Cut Compound.
So C4 is going to remove the deeper end scratches
that this Hyundai Veloster has,
as you guys can see as a quick pro tip,
if you guys do have role trims
and you guys are going to be passing a polisher across it,
I recommend just masking it off with some masking tape
so like this, your polisher does not get in it's way
of the trim and it will not damage it.
If it does damage it,
or you get any gwerks, any glazes, any sealant,
just use our product Trim Clean.
You'll see the link down below
this product removes oils, sealants, glazes, waxes
from trim, so like that your trim no longer looks white,
but anyways, it's time to get into polishing.
So, we're going to be using C4 compound, like I said,
C4 is going through any deeper scratches.
So all you need to do is just shake that
before using it,
you'll open up the spout.
You'll go to the polishing pad
and I like to apply four to five sized dime-sized drops
onto my pad.
So two, three, four, and five,
I'll grab some pack conditioner,
spray it directly onto the pad
and this is just going to moist in the pad
so whenever I pass it across the surface of the vehicle,
it does not cause too much heat.
It keeps it moist,
and I don't get any pigtails or marring.
So, another pro tip
put the cord over your shoulder
to avoid it bumping from onto the paint.
Now you'll go to the area you're working on.
I like to work in a two by two area.
So if I was working on this whole entire hood
I would've just say, ABCD, A, B, C, and D.
So like this, I know exactly where I'm working with,
but since we're only working on this side of the hood,
I will still break it down. ABCD, A, B, C, and D.
So whenever you're polishing,
you always want to overlap your polisher
from the previous pass.
So you get even cut whenever you're polishing
so, I'll be blotching it out
and keep this in mind
this is a rotary machine.
So I like to spread it out sufficiently,
so like this, whenever I go to my highest speed
and I started working in the product,
it will not damage it.
All right, so turn on the machine
and then I will click the button four times
and away from the paint.
One, two, three, four.
All right, guys, so I just can tell,
whenever you're polishing with a rotary machine,
you do not see me putting so much pressure onto the machine.
I am letting the machine do the most of the job,
all I'm doing is just guiding it across the surface.
So now I'll get a towel, just so I could buff off
the residue, and I could show you guys the true results
that C4 gave me.
and then I'll go to the area.
I just repolished
and I'll remove the compound
just so I could show the results that the TORQ R,
The Orange Pad and C4 gave me.
So you guys can already see C4 removed
the deeper end scratches,
it restored an amazing finish to the paint.
So let me just finish polishing out the rest
of the hood with C4 compound
and then I'll show you guys the next step,
which is going to be P4 polish
and our white light polishing pad.
I'll see you guys then.
All right, guys, so we just finished polishing
this Hyundai Veloster using The Orange Pad
and T4 clear cut compounds,
so the results are amazing,
but I want something more.
I want more shine, more reflection
so that's why I'm going to be using
the white light polishing pad
and P4 for perfection polish.
So this polish is going to enhance the shine
and remove any micro scratches
that C4 unfortunately cannot remove.
So I'm just refining the paint.
So just shake up the product before using,
open up the spout
and then I will be applying dime-size drops
onto my foam pad.
As well as, I will be spraying pad conditioner
onto my pad, so the pad conditioner, like I told you guys
is going to moisten the pad
and it's going to keep it from causing holograms, marring,
or just causing a high heat spot
on the surface of the paint.
So I'll put the cord over my shoulder once again,
and then I will just do the same exact steps.
I will blotch it out
on the surface that I am working on
and then I will bump it up to speed setting three
or four and start working in the product.
but keep this in mind,
whenever you are working with a rotary polisher,
do not apply too much pressure,
let the machine do the most of the work
and just guide it.
So what I like to do,
I cup it from underneath once the machine is on
and I just follow it,
side to side up and down side to side
until it turns clear or translucent
and that is when I start buffing off the product.
So, let me just finish polishing up this section,
and then I'll show you guys the results
that I achieved using the white light polishing pad
and P4 precision polish.
Let's get started.
So I just finished polishing out that area
and you notice that I did not go on to this area
that is because this hood is right, has a curve to it
so I am working in sections, once I'm done here,
I'll buff off the product
and show you guys the results.
So I'll go to the area and just buffy right off
and just check out that lustrous shine
that this Hyundai Veloster now has.
I still have product over here that I still need to work in,
but whenever you're working with a rotary polisher,
what I also recommend you guys do
is since it does spin on only one axis,
I recommend going to the area
just feeling it and making sure it doesn't get too hot.
So if it start to get too hot, pull the machine away,
work in a different area
and if you need to come back to refine that area,
come back afterwards
and refine that area.
Don't allow it to get too hot
so anyways, guys, let me just finish polishing
out the rest of this hood
and show you guys the results after
that P4 and C4 and the TORQ R gave to me.
The paint is fully restored.
It is fully glossy
and there's some sign to it compared to that side
there's still contamination,
there's still scratches swirls
so that's how you get that boggy,
cloudy effect compared to this side.
