    White is the most common color in the world for automotive vehicles. Whether you have a white car you drive everyday or high end white car, the paint should always look bright and vibrant. Sometimes it is hard to see when your white paint has become dull, to the eye the white paint looks great but after using compound or polish you will see the true white color. In this video we show you how to make your white paint bright again. White color paint does a very good job at hiding oxidation and scratches. This is a problem because if you aren't able to see the problem, it doesn't mean it isn't there.
    In this case, this Honda Civic DX has oxidized, scratched, and a muggy look to the paint. VSS will remove, resurface, and make the paint shine once again.
    If you enjoyed the video be sure to give it a thumbs up. We launch new videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!

    Is what your using considered a high speed buffer? It doesnt act like an orbital. Would you mind letting me know what brand polishER your using?

    • @ChemicalGuys
      @ChemicalGuys  5 років тому

      Hi Victor! In this video Alex used the TORQX Random Orbital buffer. All dual action polishers tend to spin a lot slower then rotary machines. Dual action polishers take a little longer to remove swirl marks and paint defects then rotary machines. Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!

    Hey Chemical Guys, do you have to clay the whole car before doing any buffing ? Or is washing the vehicle good enough ?

    • @trigunnn2
      @trigunnn2 7 років тому +4

      Always clay or its like taking sandpaper to your vehicle and not in a good way

    • @mandocontreras7970
      @mandocontreras7970 Рік тому +1

      Yes definitely clay I did this for years at a detail shop inside a car wash and trust me the stuff the clay picks up is insane and you feel the difference on the paint after just use window cleaner and clay then microfiber towel that’s damp then dry after start your wax process you wanna let the wax machine glide above the paint not stick to it and recommend up and down motions instead of side to side best results as well don’t hold the wax machine in one area for to long will burn paint quick

    • @ChemicalGuys
      @ChemicalGuys  5 років тому

    • @ChemicalGuys
      @ChemicalGuys  4 роки тому

      Hi Raymond! Yes it is recommended to use a clay bar before any polishing takes place. Depending on the condition of the paint it could use an OG or Medium Clay Bar.

    • @ChemicalGuys
      @ChemicalGuys  6 років тому

      Hey Marc, VSS is a one step polish, basically it removes a moderate amount of scratches and swirls by utilizing micro abrasives to remove oxidation and damaged clear coat.

    • @ChemicalGuys
      @ChemicalGuys  7 років тому +1

      Yes! VSS Goes in place of both compound and polish in the steps you outlined. If ever in doubt, consult the Chemical Guys Detail Flowchart for the best order of operations when detailing any vehicle: www.chemicalguys.com/HOW_TO_ARTICLES_s/338.htm

    • @Tat2Dragons
      @Tat2Dragons 7 років тому

      Keanu Ripley No, that is paint transfer. That Honda has white single stage paint, so what you're seeing on the pad after polishing is oxidized white paint. Actually you could add paint on top of clear, although I'm not sure why you would mention that.

  • @raymondperez3553
    @raymondperez3553 5 років тому

    Shouldn't We Clay bar or Use a Clay block before Polishing?...

    • @ChemicalGuys
      @ChemicalGuys  5 років тому +1

      Hello Raymond, great question! Yes, we recommend doing a clay bar treatment to the paint prior to doing anything on paint to remove stuck on contamination, whether it be polishing or even simply just waxing you vehicle. Both clay bar and clay block are alternatives to a manual clay decontamination and will both remove contamination on paint. Clay bar is a traditional clay while the clay block is a newer innovative synthetic clay that's a lot more durable and easier to grasp on to. Happy detailing!

      Yes you can, but keep in mind that VSS breaks down slowly, and you will have to invest more time and energy completing this task. You would have to use an orange hex logic hand applicator pad, and you will need to scrub for an insanely long time. Save yourself the time and hardship by getting a polisher, this will be hard and tedious otherwise.
