November / December 2016 23 temporary side effect. There are all kinds of very good compounds for your Porsche's finish and everyone has a favorite brand to use. When it comes to products on the market, it is always changing. I get most of my ideas on different polishes and waxes from others who have good looking finishes on their car. I read up on different brands and try them for myself. Right now, I'm using Chemical Guys brand, which was recommended to me by Jeff Hallam. Chemical Guys have four compounds that I have used and I will share their reviews to help you understand when to use the different compounds. They call all of their compounds polish, but some of them are just as strong as other brands rubbing compounds. The four I am going to review this issue are their V32, V34, V36 and V38. V32 is the strongest cutting compound and V38 is a fine polishing compound. Let us review what Chemical Guys says about their polishes; V32 Heavy Duty Paint Correction Chemical Guys V32 Optical Grade Extreme Compound is the first extreme compound designed to eliminate heavy paint defects and imperfections from super-hard paint finishes. V32 is formulated for fast cutting with optical grade micro abrasives that restore both old paint finishes, and freshly-painted panels. The advanced compound cuts through heavy paint defects, swirls, scratches, and oxidation, and sets up paint for superior final polishing results. V32 Extreme Compound is the first water-based compound formulated to work on scratch-resistant and ceramic clear coat finishes. The heavy abrasives work fast with true-cut accuracy; there are no fillers, so the results you see are the true results you get. The optical-grade abrasives quickly remove 1200- 1500 grit sanding marks and heavy defects and scratches. V32 delivers fast cutting power with fewer passes to quickly restore conventional clear coat, ceramic clear coat, and traditional single stage paint finishes. V32 Extreme Compound is the preferred cutting compound for optical plastic, and is the perfect follow up to wet-sanding faded and hazy headlights and taillights. The water-based formula is blended with advanced lubricants for extended worktime and minimized dusting associated with heavy compounds. Use Chemical Guys V32 Optical Grade Extreme Compound to remove heavy defects, swirls, and scratches from any paint finish and optical plastic surface.
