- What's up everybody.
Welcome to Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Have you ever been out somewhere,
say in a parking garage, or maybe at your own home,
and then come out to your vehicle
to realize that somebody scuffed your paint?
Well that's exactly what's happened to this BMW.
And as you can see on the edge of the bumper here,
this is a common area where cars get damaged.
And that's exactly what's happened here.
So today I'm gonna show you how to remove it,
and restore a factory shine, using one simple product.
Now besides that one product,
we've already used a quick detail spray,
a light clay bar, and wipeout
to remove any of the surface contamination,
to make sure we're getting true best results.
And now we're gonna move on to the polishing step,
which you can do by hand or machine,
to revive that factory finish.
But today we're going to be using a TORQ-X.
Which is the smallest of our Torq line-up.
This is gonna give us the most mobility
and the easiest workability around the bumper, here,
and also a couple other troublesome areas
on the vehicle.
Now, we're gonna be using the five-inch pad,
because we're gonna cover alotta surface area, here,
but we're only using an eight millimeter throw.
This way we have the most control.
You can also switch that to a three inch
if you feel more comfortable with that,
or if you have some really tricky areas to work with.
But for today, we're gonna use the five inch.
Now I'm also going to be using our orange
Hex-Logic Pad, which is my go-to.
Simply attach it and center as best as you can
on the hook-and-loop backing plate.
Nice and smooth,
and then we're going to be using
for this small area let use three dime-sized drops
of our VSS.
And this is an all-in-one scratch and swirl remover.
It has a micro-abrasive that breaks down
into a very fine polish.
That's where you're going to get
the heavier, deep scratches out.
And then it will cure itself, and refine itself
into a very fine polish.
This way you don't have go multiple passes
or use multiple products.
And then to help moisten the pad,
and give the proper work-time,
we're gonna use some pad conditioner,
which basically cuts down on any kind
of excess heat, and also prevents
any kind of dusting.
So what I'll do is I'll blotch it out,
and then with a dual-action polisher,
what you're gonna do is
on the lowest-speed setting,
spread it out over the area that
you're going to be working on.
And on the highest speed setting,
that's where you're actually gonna
be doing your polishing.
This is how you remove those scratches
and swirls.
And with VSS, you want to make sure that it
has gone completely clear or translucent,
so you're giving it the proper work time.
This is something I mention a lot with
a lot of polishes.
But the work time is essential,
especially with the all-in-one polish.
So that it does a completely thorough job.
This way you're not stopping half-way through it.
And you're gonna see little pigtails, or
some kind of marring, which is
something that I hear a lot of people
have trouble with.
So, what you want to make sure is that
it goes completely clear, maybe even
a little bit longer, and then you can
buff it off, and check your work.
So now we'll just take a clean microfiber towel
and buff off the excess.
And check our work, here.
You can tell that a majority of the
scratches and the imperfection
has been removed.
There's still a couple deeper ones,
but that's to be expected.
You're not going to get 100 percent correction
out of a one-step polish.
And as I keep mentioning,
this is one simple product
being that it's VSS, which is a one-step polish.
That doesn't mean it's just going to be
one product that does it all,
but basically just means that you're using one polish,
one dedicated cleaner, that's
going to remove the majority of the imperfection.
But as far as I can tell,
it looks like it's done pretty well.
Removed a lot of that impurity,
and now we've got a very fine finish, here.
This is something you can do by hand,
or by machine.
This works well for restoring bumpers,
or even headlights and things like that.
You can also use it on the rest of the vehicle.
Where you have deeper scratches and swirls
or cars that tend to show a lot of imperfections
to really restore that shine using one product.
