Chemical Guys GAP_V34_16 V34 Optical Grade Hybrid Compound (16 oz)

After a month long bike trip, without washing my Harley-Davidson, when I got home and washed it, the physical bugs were gone, but my fairing was covered with their imprints (which I call ghost bugs). I tried washing, hydrogen peroxide, and clay bar without success. Then I used V34 and my own buffer on low speed. Took three passes, but the ghost bugs are gone!

I purchased this as a last ditch effort to restore the finish on an older trailer. I could not believe how easily this removed years of oxidation, restoring a nearly flawless finish. Well worth the price. Could not be happier, just wish I found it sooner. Nothing else came close and I tired 3 other brands of compound that were barley effective , this stuff was like WOW !!!

Decided to try this as a replacement for Meguiars M101 since it is supposed to have less dusting. If it is less, it's not much so I think I'll try menzerna next. Works as described but I still prefer M101 to this. P.S. I used it with CG hexlogic pads.

I have used many compounds over the years and this one is excellent. Definitely use with a rotary buffer and keep expectations realistic. This will NOT remove deep scratches. It doesn't cut that much. It is amazing at removing fine swirl marks and other minor issues from paint and that is where the lighter cutting properties of this stuff comes in hands. Even in the hands of a novice this stuff will do the job but not take off dangerous amounts of clear coat. Amazing stuff here. Highly recommend!

I used this product along with the 32 and the 38, and honestly the results speak for themselves. My wife’s car is in pretty rough shape, and has been neglected for a very, very long time. It sat for about 18 months and wasn’t washed for who knows how long before that! This stuff did a good job and getting that “haze” off of the paint and letting the black shine through again. Most of the scratches went with it, but let’s face it, it’s not magic and there’s only so much it can do! If your car needed a new paint job and body shop before you used this, it still will after. All in all, I’ll keep using this as the results speak for themselves. Better for cars that are just a bit faded with light scratches in my novice opinion!

This polish is pretty awesome. When combined with an orange hexlogic pad I have taken paint that had serious water etching, swirls galore, and scratches back to flawless. If the paint isn't too damaged or if the clear coat is soft I usually use this with a green hexlogic pad and it does great.Probably the best part about this polish is it can be used as a 1 step on cars with medium to hard clear coats. I usually follow this up with Blacklight and then my favorite Sealant.The only downside to this polish is it dusts like crazy. It also takes a long time to break down (could be a good or bad thing depending on your polishing technique.)

I used V34 with my PC 7424 as well as a FLEX DA. Both machines used a 6.5" CCS orange pad. The patient was a black 06 Jetta dianosed with moderate swirls and some heavy scratches.Right away i was impressed with how quickly and easily it removed oxidation and brought a whole new gloss to the tired black paint. As far as correction, it did a good job removing light swirls using moderate pressure but i was hoping it would be a little bit more aggresive. I almost feel like my CG P40 polish had better swirl correction even though the grit specs would suggest otherwise. This could be a factor of different auto manufactures paint/clearcoat quality as i didn't test both products on the same vehicle.Both the PC and the Flex led to quite a bit of V34 dust. Once it smoothed out clear and broke down, you dont have too much working time left before the pad dries and dust's out. Learn the dust point and stop working it, keeping the pad moist with some conditioner or detail spray helps.I'm happy with V34 but will probably try a new product when this is all used up.

Good item
