chemical guys machine polish ?

ggk · 09-24-07, 02:07

well i dont know where to post this but it is about machine polishing.

i have some serious swirls and im lookig for a good polish. i am looking at the
ALL-IN-1 POLISH + SHINE & SEALANT (16 oz) at chemical guys. any comments on this product?

quick question i dont think deserves a topic. is the Extreme Slick Synthetic -Acrylic Polymer Detailer (Anti-Static) (16 Oz) any good my car i black and i get pollen and dust on it instantly everytime i wash it it doesnt look like i washed it in 30 minutes.

I don't know about the polish you mentioned, but the qd is awesome. You will love it on black.

In general, if you have major swirls, it will take a lot more than just a one step all in one type product. I would look more into a multi stage polishing system. CG's polishes are great by the way, among others.

any recomendations?
and i have some mothers 3 step ive used it before and it looks great it just didnt last very long.
any cg polish u recomend they are all the same price pretty much.

and the swirls arent that bad ill probly need to apply the polish a couple times to get rid of them.

i triesd some crappy tropicare sealant polish and it didnt work very well.

If you have Mothers 3 step polish system, that would work fine until you need something more aggressive. You are still going to need a protectant of some kind to lock in the finish though, regardless of what polishes you choose.

If you want CG's polishes, I like their 3 step compounds:
Heavy Duty, Medium Duty, Light Duty Auto Detailing Polishing Compounds

Again, you will need to protect all this with some type of sealant or carnauba, or both.

Personally, I don't like the Extreme Synthetic QD, it streaks every time I use it. I would recommend the Speed Wipe or Spray Wax.

The AIO Polish is a great finishing polish. I use it all the time. If you need something more aggressive, you can use the Pro Polish. Another great product.

Anybody try the CG "laser buff" compound - sounds good on the web site.

Try spraying the qd on your towel, and not directly to the paint.

You say you have some serious swirls so CG's AIO is not going to correct that. I haven't found the product to have any kind of bite. It dusts quite a bit too for an all-in-one product. There are better AIOs if that's what you're looking for.

i am just looking for a quality polish preferably by cg. if i nned to go deeper i can try some compound on a rotary.

any suggestions.
(swirls arnt really bad at all. i just over exaggerate.)

The CG's polishes I linked to before are excellent polishes. Just to get us on an even keel, "compounds" are polishes. Most people use the term compound when they are referring to a polish with a medium to heavy level of abrasiveness or "cut". So, saying that, you should be able to tackle any job from minor to major with those three CG's polishes, just pick the level of abrasiveness you want to start with, and work your way down. In other words, if you start with the #2 polish, follow it with #1, etc.

If you're dealing with minor swirls, I think CG's Pro Polish should be fine. No need to go into heavy compounds. If you need something heavier, I've had good results with Diamond Cut 1500.
