What Makes V36 Polish Great

Advanced Abrasives For Modern Paint Technology

V36 contains no fillers or oils, so the results you see are the results you get. The water-based formula is blended with advanced lubricants for extended work time and a minimal dusting profile.

V36 is also the preferred finishing polish for repairing optical plastic on headlights or taillights that are faded or hazy. Use it after wet-sanding or compounding for clearer night vision.

Features

  • Among our compounds & polishes, V36 is the least abrasive. This is step 3 of the 4-step V-series.
  • Removes light paint defects, swirls, scratches, oxidation, and 2000-2500 grit sanding marks
  • Use as a one-step polish to restore luster to paint finish
  • Optical grade diminishing abrasives restore both old paint finishes and freshly painted panels.
  • Restores your headlights for safe night driving

    Shine like nearly new

    I have the Dual Action 5'' CG polisher that I used after washing and claybarring an '06 SUV. Using a few passes of a cross hatch pattern with v36 did measurably improve the clearcoat finish with only the one step polish. Add on a wax and sealant and you're gonna appreciate the results.

    Easy to use and no dust!

    I'm a newbie to this and kinda scare doing it. I still see a lot of swirls in the paint under sunlight, but the white pearl color came out quite decent. It's not so dull anymore but I do wish the swirls would be gone. I used v36 and v38 with orange and white quantum hex logic pad. Maybe I did I wrong? ?

    Easy results

    If you grab the torq polisher and go easy on your paint with the hex pad and polish, you get easy professional results. I hadn't even glazed yet in the picture.
