- Machine polishing is known as the “art of detailing.” A skilled detailer can restore paintwork by removing scratches, swirl marks, and defects from clear coat paintwork. Using a machine polisher takes many hours of training and years of practice to master the art. Today in the Detail Garage, Nick restores the shine and reflection of this Hyundai Sonata. In this video, Nick covers the full process on how to remove swirl marks, scratches and scuffs from paintwork using a dual-action polisher and restore the shine. Enjoy the video!

Hey Jacob! We're so glad you're enjoying your detailing product. Welcome to the Chemical Guys family!!
The Bob Ross of detailing. 😊👍
Hey! Thanks so much for watching and for the amazing feedback, it is truly appreciated.
- CG Nick
Defently one of the best car detailing videos I've seen on youtube! Thanks Chemical guys 😍
Thanks so much for the incredible feedback!!
- CG Nick
Yes. I agree. Explaining things during the whole time. Great
You guys have literally made me truly appreciate the paint on my m packaged bmw . After your videos I am all about detailing ! I’ve been on your website and ive been trying to find out how i can take my car to you guys to have the paint corrected by you personally, maybe even use my car for a video . I recently had my car re painted and the auto body shop was paid a lot of money, i feel like they cut corners with my paint job or finish.. i just dont have the eyes of a professional to really know, but to me, it doesn’t look right. I took it back and after watching your videos i felt like it needed a wet sand compound buff. I feel like they never did it, just re buffed the car. Is that a normal practice after a new paint job ? Thanks for everything so far! Keep the videos up!
I specifically use your products for a reason! I’m a brand new business and I would love to continue working with these products and expand my potential
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Good job brother Nick 👏

Thanks. Got a couple of scratches today and a few months ago. Wants to clean it up. You make it look so easy!
You can do it! Thanks so much for tuning in!!
@@ChemicalGuys I ordered the supplies and as soon as they arrive I will attempt it.

XD XD XD
What pad you recommend me to use scratch out
Probably because it took him so long to buff this sucker out.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just got my order I'm fully loaded ready to clean up my dirty girl( car) you guys are awesome and very informative you just gained a lifelong member, and your way more affordable then autozone and advanced auto parts.👍🚘🌞
Hey Sam! Glad to have you as part of the Chemical Guys family!!
What kit did you purchase if you don’t mind telling me? I just saw this video and was wondering if there is a kit or what product I can buy individually to get rid of the scratches. Thank you
Im going to need to purchase all of the products he has used. I have a jeep JL wrangler that I take out on the trails and have alottttttttt of pin stripes from branches and such. Im excited to try it myself rather than pay for it every time because this is a normal occurrence for my vehicle
Good job
Just subscribed. Thanks for sharing your proprietary skills. I’m about to touch up my truck and am a little freaked out about it, this helped 👍🏻
Hey Timothy, thanks so much for watching!
- CG Nick
Amazing work something about polishing calms me........also you guys should make a red gaze and name it "Red Light District " 😂😂😂😂 . Cant wait to see whats next.
They currently make a red wax, called Cherry Wet Wax. Not a glaze, but im sure the effect would be similar
This guy is a genius. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
stalled and rolled forward into a chain link fence a tiny bit this video makes me feel better
Thanks so much for watching, let us know how it turns out.
After applying backlight can it be coated to help make it last longer?
What products did you use in this video? I think I missed some? Love CG guys btw! Learning to take better care of my car because of you guys!
Hey Emily! Use your favorite quick detail spray or wash the vehicle before using the appropriate clay bar. In the video, V36 was used to remove the scuffs and scratches.
- CG Nick
@@ChemicalGuys Does the V36 and final polish permanently remove the scratches or are they just masked and will come back after the polish wears off?
@@ericsands1 a V36 mask is just that, a mask; it will come off over time - the only true way to get rid of scratches (if theyre not incredibly deep) is by buffing them out completely to the next layer of paint with a buffer like he used near the end of the video (or by a re-paint job, but 90% of the time, minimal scratches can be buffed out and isnt worth the hundreds of dollars for a repaint)
Chemical guys products are easy to use and the results are amazing!! Keep the good work guys!!👍
Thanks so much for the incredible feedback!!
- CG Nick
I love ur videos guys I watch em all the time keep up these entertaining videos
Hi, thanks for the great feedback! Really glad to have you part of the Chemical Guys family! 👊
Nice! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
- CG Nick
Do I use black light after or before compound scratch remover?
Big difference but pausing the video at the after picture you can still see small scratches
Or probably it’s noticeable since I’m watching the video in a big screen. But I do agree. It’s 100 times better.
I'm getting ready to buff a black 2015 sonata. Pretty sure I'll need to do some wet sanding.
Happy detailing!!
Great result
🔥🔥This is definitely a save for me.
Thanks so much for tuning in!
This a great tutorial if you happen to have purchased and have on hand all the 10 or so "go to" products the mentions. 😮
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Great Job I have to do Mine!!
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Very nice 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the positive feedback! Happy detailing!
After all the steps you’ve shown, would it then be worth going to get a coating done? Clear or ceramic, I’m new to this 😅
Hey! Yes, adding a coating or wrap will provide the most durable protection.
Would this work on rims after a little mud riding ? It’s rare i do it but would like to get as many of those scratches out so it don’t look to terribly bad ?
So you use a ipa based cleaner to remove “body oils” etc but spread the compound on the pad with your finger??
compound uses oils and abrasives to remove clear coat...genius. Its just better to start on a clean surface and get a good look at your paint condition.
Will BlackLight work on medium colors (medium Blue)? I have same problem, got scuffed by some traffic cones. Not the cones themselves but the flexible pole type traffic barriers that if contacted head on get run over and flip back up.
Yo brother I love how you detailed good job man
A word
Thanks Jeff Goldblum.
Lol yeah resembles him a little bit.
Hayden Harrison and the voice is spot on 😀
😂 life finds a way!…..😂
impressive 👌
That was amazing.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
good as new!
Polish can make all the difference!
Nice video
Thanks for tuning in Charles!!
Hi, my question is , after doing some wet sand Scratch Repairs / then polish or light compounding them and waxing them, Can I use my clay bar over those repairs (as I am going to Clay my entire car) or will that Undo/Damage some of the repair on the scratches and finishes that I just did?
Hey Martin! Thanks so much for watching. Paint correction will reveal a fresh layer of clear coat that no longer has scratches and swirls so it won't undo the process if it is clay barred but I recommend using the clay bar before polishing.
- CG Nick
Just a few questions.... what temperature should black light be used at? I would assume it should not be used during anything less than 60 degree weather, and after using black light would you recommend using wax to protect the clear coat?
Hi Michael! Thanks for checking out the video. As long as the surface is cool to the touch but not freezing it will be perfectly fine to use Black Light Glaze. Yes, lock in shine while repelling the elements with a coat of sealant and/or wax.
- CG Nick
Nice
What was the name of the polish you used or was it only the black light?
Hi! In this video, Nick used V36 to remove the scratches on the side of the Hyundai. Black Light is a glaze that will fill in minor swirls and scratches, but polishing is the only thing that is going actually remove the scratches. While V36 and a microfiber pad worked on this car, there is no knowing exactly what combination of pad and product will work best on your vehicle. We recommend picking up the whole V Line series sample kit, which I have also linked to you below. Thanks for watching and make sure to check back later today for a new video upload!

I'm looking to buy a complete package detail kit from your company, including the torq polisher. Looking for a good deal, can you help?
Of course we can 😃 Check out the link below. It features the all new TORQ15DA polisher. The TORQ 15DA removes scratches and swirls to get your paint back to a mirror-like shine.

My car has a few pig tails in the clear coat. Would this combination of pad and polish take care of them?
Hi Tom! Absolutely, the combination of these products can be used to remove scratches and swirls.
- CG Nick
I love the way this dude talks.
Hey Ross! Thanks so much for tuning in!
- CG Nick
What kind of polisher foam did you use and would you use it right after applying paint and it drys?
Hey Emmanuel! Allow the paint to cure for an appropriate amount of time before using an Orange Hex-Logic Pad and V36 Cutting Polish.
Would you use touch up paint if you had it, or no need to at all in a scenario like this?
I'm in this scenario now! 😭
Hey there! If the scratch hasn't gone deep enough to see substrate you should be fine without using touch-up paint. I suggest polishing first to determine if touch ups are necessary.
- CG Nick
I'm really interested in the black light polish. I have scratches on my car and also stone chips on the hood of my car. How much would this product help? I understand that applying it will help to protect it from the elements but how much will it camoflauge the missing paint?? The hood i find is a bit dull looking over all so I feel this will help in itself. I do have some deeper scratches on the side of the back door of my car. Thank you so much.
Hi there! Machine polishing with a compound/polish would achieve a better result. I recommend using V36 with an Orange Hex-Logic Pad.
My car hood has fallout ash damage from the massive fires in Oregon in 2020.
It’s dull and hazy, like there is no glossy clear coat anymore.
Do you have any videos for dealing with this?
I see how to prevent the damage but not what to do once the damage is there.
Thanks!
Hi Yvette! Start by washing the vehicle with Citrus Wash and Gloss then use a Medium Duty Clay Bar with Clay Luber to thoroughly decontaminate the surface to inspect the paintwork. Machine polishing may be necessary to restore shine, try using a White Hex-Logic Pad and P4 Precision Paint Polish.
Do y’all have any product like black light but for lighter color on car or can we use black light for light color
Hi Anthony, good question. Chemical Guys White Light Hybrid Radiant Finish is the ultimate gloss enhancer for a deep, wet, bright shine on white and light paint finishes. White Light is a premium gloss enhancer and sealant in one. Use White Light to add tons of extra deep wet shine, fill minor swirls and scratches, and clean minor stains and imperfections. Use White Light after a clay bar service, but before applying any sealant or wax coat for extra gloss and deep wet shine. Click the link below to read more! Thanks for watching, Anthony, and thanks for being a part of the Chemical Guys family!

How come you did not wet sand? When should you and when should you not wet sand?
Over time, will the polish fade away and the scratches will show back up?
Hi Jon! The abrasives in V36 refine the clear coat which removes the scratches and swirls. With proper washing, drying, and touching the vehicle will remain scratch-free.
- CG Nick
Hey @chemicalguys, great vid 👍. But you have any tips for your average jo who doesn’t have a machine? I’d really like your help.. my neighbour scratched my car when pulling out of the car park
Hey Daniel! Thanks so much for your message. Hand polishing is possible with an Orange Hex-Logic Cutting Hand Pad and V36 Cutting Polish. Check out this video.

This looks like it will work for trail pinstripes on my black 4runner
Hi Duan Dao, you always want to be careful when working with pinstripes. If your pinstripes are under the clearcoat, then you can clay and polish the car as usual. However if the stripes are on top of the clearcoat, then we suggest either taping them off or simply avoiding that area. Thanks for watching, Duan, and thanks for being a part of the Chemical Guys family!
@@ChemicalGuys oh I meant pinstripes from branches while going off road not the traditional pinstripes 👍
In that case, polish ahead! 👍👍👍 Make sure to check back later today for a new video upload!
Just a little warning if your car has been ceramic coated it makes it near impossible to get out light scratches with polishing compounds as the coating is so hard they have little effect on the scratch, that's a downside of coatings they don't tell you about, if anyone has any ideas as to what I could do to remove them please let me know.
Hey! Machine polishing with a compound such as V34 or even V32 will remove ceramic coatings.

Good video, I wish you could polish my black car, it's covered in parking scratches and marks.
Thanks so much for watching!
For a red Jeep compass 2019 can I use these products or different?
Hey Yarlin! Yes the same process and products can be used on any color vehicle.
I have 2010 maxima I purchased and the owner before me scratched the whole car up I guess he was going to wrap it or plasti dip it but he didn’t have to scratch all the clear coat. My question is can I use a clay bar to buff the scratches out and used a polisher thanks in advance
Hey there! Yes, you can use a machine polisher to remove the imperfections from the paint. Before you do, make sure to wash and clay bar the paint before doing so.
I have a dodge challenger and it's curvy all over and I can't get the pad to move when I got to my hood and parts on my trunk. Do I get another machine or just hand polish??
Hi Brett, sounds like you're putting too much pressure on the machine. With a Dual Action polisher, you only want to add about 5 pounds of pressure, which is the same as resting one of your hands on top of the polisher. If you put too much weight on a dual action polisher, it will stop spinning at full speed. With a dual action polisher, you can go at a nice slow pace. Thanks for watching, Ben, and make sure to check back later today for a new video upload!
What about scratches on headlights?
Will this work on a White Pearl Sorento Suv ? There are scuffs and scratches
Hi Ruben! Absolutely, you can use the same process to restore a flawless finish.
- CG Nick
i didnt see the car on the website,how much is the car?
so I can do this process without the polisher? I don't own one and probably won't buy one. Thought we had a paint transfer but after using your "ultimate glaze" and some wax the scratches are still there. This is on our brand new 2021 car someone scraped
Hi Brenda! It is possible to hand polish with V36 and/or V38 before applying your your favorite coatings.
- CG Nick
If you’ve never used a rotary polisher your can make your paint worse than what you were trying to rectify if you don’t know what you are doing
Now what do you do after the polish to protect your work?
Hi Jason! After polishing, apply your favorite ceramic, glaze, sealant, and/or wax to lock in shine while repelling harsh elements.
Thanks for detailed explanation. Now long time question. Since you remove or disturb the clear coating how long the scratch remover lasts? I thought none of them lasts more than 6 mon. After 6 mon you have no clear coat or any polishes left.
Will the car look odd if you only polish the one section with the scuff? Like one shiney part of a car
Hey! It is easy to blend the polish surface so that it doesn't stand out against the rest of the vehicle.
I have got a question. If somene accused me of scratch his left side of front bumper and i can't see a any scratches on my front bumper sides or paint attached to it... Would it be possible to get no scratch or mark while the other has marks.. My bumper is plastic black and his is red... I don't have any red marks attached... Would someone give me any tip? Thank you chemical guys

What if there are still marks after applying the V36 ? What’s the next step ?
Hey Chris! If more abrasives are needed use V34.

This is insane! I live in the city so I’ve had some idiots scrape my lancer since parking is all street, I thought I was gonna have to take it to a body shop
Thanks so much for watching!!
Truth be told you can hide scratches under chemicals but when it wares away it’s back to what it was scratches are for life
I agree, I've polished this area on my car and its come back twice. I'm at the point I just dont care anymore.
That’s why you wax every 6 months!!!
Better to machine polish to fully or partially remove scratches. I accidentally hit a twig which left a long scratch on the side of the car. Luckily after a machine polish it was gone. At the right angle and lighting it was very faint but luckily it's really hard to see.
I have a polisher and Ive never used a MicroFiber pad. MF pads make me nervous but im sure they have their place in detailing. Can you tell me why you would use a MF pad vs a foam pad???
MF pads are usually used for compounding which is being done here. They will leave slight micro scratches on the paint, while a foam pad will finish out better without those smaller scratches. Typically you compound with micro fiber and polish with foam.
Can you list all the products you used on this video thanks
Hi Jonathan! Check out the video description for product links.
I thought Blacklight was used after doing the v series or the C4/P4 combo?
Hey Paul! Correct, the best application of Black Light is after the surface has been polished however if you were to skip polishing you can apply Black Light to mask minor imperfections.
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
My car is silver car and having multiple scratches. How to buy this product or name of the product?
Hey! Check out V36 Cutting Polish.
There were a bunch of branches hanging out of a snow bank on the road tonight, and i didnt see them until it was too late. Totally scuffed the passenger side of my truck. Sticks out like a sore thumb with a black paint job lol It didnt go thru the clear coat so I will buff the fuck out of it, and have to do the whole thing now lmao
😮 Machine polishing should take care of those scuffs.
My buddy that's an auto body paint pro was going to do a quarterpanel for me, then he forgot how much business I passed his way, and ditched me until spring. I put money into this car and I want to sell it for winter. My cousin's husband, who also does auto body, wants to screw me and do the whole side of the car! There's nothing like family screwing you over. I decided, "Screw it, I'll do it myself." There's three little scratches and it's black, like almost any video has. Thanks for the tips. The only thing is, it seems like everyone uses something different.
Thanks so much for tuning in!!
I had dried bug juice on my hood/grill of my black /Hyundai Sonata. While I was washing/soaped I us a plastic sealant finishing tool to scrape off the gunk. After I rinse I noticed that I left minor scratches on my hood. What's the best way to get this off? Any tips?
Hey Ivan! Try machine polishing with an Orange Hex-Logic Pad and C4 Clear Cut Correction Compound, then refine the finish with a White Hex-Logic Pad and P4 Precision Paint Polish.
@@ChemicalGuys Will do, thank you CG!
Depending on the scratch, i like the 34 with a green pad and then go up or down from there
Hey!
Good game plan! Always smart to do a test spot and assess where you need to go from there.
Happy detailing!
So polish, blacklight, and butter wet wax for a black car ?
If I did a touch up ?? Could I use a compound on it once it’s dry ??
Absolutely!
i have a 2011 buick regal CXL Turbo and it has scratches on it. some u cant feel but others u can. ill admit im a lil nervous because i dont wanna make it worse. what u said,......does it work for deep scratches as well(the scratch u can feel with your fingernail)?
Hi Stephan! If you can feel the scratch with your fingernail it may be too deep to polish away.
@@ChemicalGuys so it would have to be painted over again(after u sand it)?
Ok so I don't have a machine polisher I'm sure most people don't have them either so what cam we use?
Hey! It is possible to polish by hand using V36 Cutting Polish.
