- Hey everyone, Sam Battersby from Griot's Garage
and today we're gonna talk about our BOSS Creams.
The BOSS Creams are part of the larger best to show system
that includes orbitals, liquids, and pads,
as well as other accessories that allow you to achieve the
absolute best paint finish.
There's a few things that set the BOSS Creams apart
from some of the other products that are out there.
Number one, and my personal favorite
being the working time
and lubricity that's built into these formulas.
They all have a very long working time or buffing cycle,
which allows you to use less product
over a larger surface area.
That leads into the second feature,
which is another one of my favorites.
And that's the fact that they don't produce
a lot of dust, if any.
So the high amount of lubricity is gonna help the
products from drying out on the paint or in the pad,
which will dramatically reduce dust production
while you're working, which makes for
a cleaner and safer work environment for you.
Third, is the very fine sub-micron aluminum oxide abrasive
that all four creams utilize in different load levels
based on the aggressiveness of the cream.
That very refined, very, very fine, abrasive particle
has very effective defect-removal ability,
but also produces a very fine finish even better than what
you're gonna be used to with some of the more aggressive
or compound cutting products out there on the market.
Last but not least, they all feature color-coded labels
that give you a guideline on which pad
from the system to start with each product.
So you see fast correcting cream has your white banner
at the bottom, which means you'll normally start
with your white foam fast-correcting pad.
Now that is a guideline and you absolutely can adapt
or pad flex and use different pads with different creams
to achieve a different result
based on the finish you're working on.
To start talking about the creams individually,
we'll start on my right here with our most aggressive,
fast-correcting cream.
Fast correcting cream is intended to remove moderate to
severe defects, but also finish down
without causing a lot of defects
while you're removing deeper ones.
Many aggressive compounds out there will cause a lot of haze
or marring as they remove the heavier defects,
which means that you have to come back with a second.
sometimes a third step to refine the finish.
Fast correcting cream will finish down much nicer
than most other products out there
while still maintaining very effective defect removal.
So again, moderate to severe defects.
Now you have correcting cream,
which is going to be intended to attack a moderate defect
and finished down LSP, your last step product ready,
and most all paint finishes.
So this is a product that you can often use as a one step
paint correction process on a vehicle that may only have
light to moderate defects.
Then you have perfecting cream,
which is normally a second step to a more aggressive step.
Like our fast correcting cream, perfecting cream
will refine the paint and remove
the very, very fine defects that may be left behind
by a more aggressive step.
So this will remove very fine haze, very fine micro-marring
from microfiber or more aggressive compounds.
And it will also be capable of removing things like fines
for marks in paint that you know,
may not be severely defected.
It just needs a very light polish.
That's where perfecting cream comes in.
All three of these are silicone and filler free again.
So body shop safe, what you see is what you get.
You're not going to strip the panel
and find defects left behind.
Then we move on to finishing sealant,
which as the name implies,
this is a finishing product that also contains a sealant
protectant that gets laid down at the same time.
Since this one has sealant in it,
it does contain some silicone.
So this is the only of the four
that is not considered body shop safe.
Finishing sealant is a great standalone all-in-one product.
You can adapt a more aggressive pad to achieve closer
to a moderate defect removal ability with this
and use it as a one step to get moderate defects removed
and protection applied in the same step.
Or you can use it as a second step to follow up
a more aggressive step, like your fast correcting cream,
refine the finish and apply protectant.
So you don't have to come back a third time.
Those are the BOSS Creams.
