- Hey what's up guys,
welcome back to the Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today, I will be reviewing the TORQ R
Precision Power Rotary Polisher Kit.
It's already inside my brand-new
Arsenal Range Trunk Organizer detailing bag.
So in this bag, you can store all your
Chemical Guys goodies, including your polisher.
So let me just spin it around for you guys,
you guys are going to get a 360 of it.
It has this amazing polisher compartment,
but anyways, if I was just to open up my Arsenal Range bag,
I will be revealing all the products I'll be using today.
Unzip it open, already have my polishing pads up here,
they're perfectly stored.
In this compartment, you can store towels, applicators,
but in this situation I have my polishing pads.
So once I get everything out,
I will be explaining when to use them, why to use them,
and what's the benefits of them.
I'll close this compartment.
Now I will be moving onto the front portion.
This is where you get to keep
your amazing four-ounce bottles.
So again, my V36, 34, 32 and 38.
And finally, the polisher compartment.
So in this back compartment,
you could also access it through the top,
but I did not want to remove all my bottles,
so you could keep your polisher in a safe area at all times
when polishing or on the go.
And now I have my polisher.
So let me just get rid of this bag, put it off to the side,
and then we'll start reviewing the TORQ R
Precision Power Rotary Polisher Kit, nine items.
So we supply with three different pads,
the orange medium duty, heavy cutting pad,
the black finishing pad and the white light polishing pad
as well as a full range of our famous V-line polishes
and compounds in four ounce bottles.
It also comes with the unit
and a five-inch backing plate as well.
So one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine.
This kit is going to allow you to attack
any type of vehicle, whether it's dark color car
or to a light color car.
This polisher kit is going to make any vehicle,
get rid of scratches and swirls
as well as them getting an amazing shine.
So let's get started on this 2005 GMC Sierra.
Before any type of polishing,
we always recommend starting off with a wash
to knock off all the grime, debris,
and heavy filth that is sitting on the paint.
Today, I was using Honeydew Snow Foam,
the reason why I went with Honeydew Snow Foam
is because the hood on my truck does not have
anything on it.
It just got repainted about four months ago,
and now it is time to polish it out and protect it.
So if you have an existing coating of a wax glazed sealant,
we recommend using Clean Slate or Citrus Wash & Gloss
in a two-bucket method or foam cannon
or a gun foam blaster.
Once you finish with the wash,
we recommend moving on to the clay bar process.
What is a clay bar?
A clay bar is a sticky substance that's going to remove
any contamination that might be sitting
on the surface of your paint.
If your paint sounds something
that means you have contamination.
Any time you start polishing the vehicle,
we always recommend clay barring because if you do not,
you're going to be rubbing all the contaminations
further into the paint, causing more scratches and swirls.
So now that we've got those two steps down,
it's time to move on to the polishing process.
So we went to the paint on my truck
and we inspected the paint
so we could choose a proper combination
what products to use and what pads to use.
So we're going to be using the orange medium duty,
heavy cutting pad with V36 optical grade cutting polish.
So V36 is going to deliver a great cut
to light, to moderate scratches.
And then we have our TORQ R,
with our with our five-inch backing plate.
Our TORQ R has a 900-watt motor
that's going to help you diminish scratches and swirls,
cause a rotary only spins on one axis
and is not a random orbital.
So it also turns the backing plate,
if you guys can see, it only spins on one radius.
How I explain it, it's a clock.
It does not go on random orbital.
On the other hand, and using like a TORQ 10FX
TORQ X, TORQ 22D or even 15 DA, that a DA.
So whenever you're working with a TORQ R,
we always recommend attaching your foam pad
to your Velcro backing plate, like so.
Attach it, make sure it's completely centered.
And whenever you go to apply dime-sized drops,
we only recommend applying five.
Apply five dime-sized drops on your pad
and then after that, after the dime-sized drops
are already onto your pad,
you're going to go to the surface you're working on
and you're going to be blotching them out
on the area you're working on.
We only recommend applying it in a two by two section,
so at all times you have control
over the polish you are doing.
Once it's already fully blotched out
in the area you're working on,
we recommend turning it on to speed setting six,
away from the paint.
Do not turn it on when the machine is on the paint,
because if you do turn on when the machine's on the paint,
you could cause a hologram or you could cause pigtails.
Since you're using a rotary machine,
turn it on away from the paint
and turn it off away from the paint as well.
When do you know when you're done polishing?
We always recommend working in the V line until it turns
clear or translucent.
Once it's clear, we recommend grabbing
a clean microfiber towel, wiping in one direction
and removing the excess of the product.
If you do not like the cut you're getting,
we recommend dropping down to heavier cut,
such as, if you're going from V36, to a V34,
but never start on the heavy side.
Always start off in an inconspicuous area.
If you like the cut,
continue around the whole entire vehicle,
because keep in mind, paint is not like skin,
it's not going to grow back,
once the clear is removed, it's done.
And then after that, we're going to have to refine the finish
using the light polishing pad with V38 Final Polish.
We always recommend refining the finish as you go,
the more you refine your paint,
the better finish you'll get.
You could also do a three-step polish,
four-step polish if desired,
but my 2005 GMC Sierra is not needed for all that.
When we recommend using V34 or V32
is whenever your paint is super, super scratched up.
V34 is a hybrid compound.
What does that mean?
It has abrasive like a compound,
that's going to cut very, very heavy,
but then after you finish with V34,
you will have to refine it
either using 36 or 38.
That is correct.
You could also just go straightly from 34 to 38.
That is not a problem.
Just make sure to refine it.
And finally, if you're doing wet sanding,
you can use V32.
V32 is our most aggressive cutting compound.
It will remove 1200 through 1500 grit, sandy marks.
And finally, we also supply you
with the black finishing pad.
There you guys have it.
