Question 1

What does each do? is it worth the price to buy?

Accepted Answer

They work on paint and clearcoat about the same way different grades of sandpaper work on wood. You start with a more abrasive 'starting' compound which removes noticeable issues in your car's paint. However, doing this will leave obvious swirl marks all over your car. Ever see a car that when the light hits it the right way, the sides have obvious orbital buffer marks all along the side? That's because the detailer only did the first step and then waxed it.To avoid that problem you move to the next, less abrasive, compound to remove the marks that the previous compound left. Each compound smooths the paint out a bit more, and eventually you end up with a glass-like surface. It's a bit of work. Even with an orbital polisher it will likely take you an hour for each step. And you WILL need an orbital polisher unless you have forearms that would make Popeye jealous.The point is that your car will only look its best if you get the paint as smooth and blemish-free as possible BEFORE you put on any wax. Wax will only protect the paint. It won't make it look better, aside from being a little shinier for a few days. If you follow this procedure your car can look stunning for weeks or months. I have a 13 year old Audi with black paint (easily the hardest paint to keep looking good). I've been doing this procedure since it was brand new, and people still frequently tell me how nice my car looks.Also note that the heavier cutting compounds might only be needed once. If you get the paint smoothed out, AND take care of it (wash and clean it with decent quality microfiber cloths only), you should be able to skip the first one or two steps of this package from then on and only need to use the lighter compounds on subsequent detail jobs. For that reason, it might not make sense to buy a regular size bottle of the heavy duty stuff.

Question 2

Will the sample sizes (4 oz.) be adequate to correct paint on a 2012 infiniti g37 sedan with moderate paint? going in with a da polisher and hexlogic.

Accepted Answer

Hi Kevin, the sample sizes should be plenty of product to finish your vehicle. You only use 4 -5 pea size drops on the hexlogic pads.Start with the orange cutting pad and use V34 cutting polish. Follow this with the white pad and V36. Finish with the black polishing pad and V38 polishing compound.

Question 3

how many cars can you detail with 4oz ?

Accepted Answer

I was wondering the same thing, but I just did a comparison with other products I've been using for a while. Generally, the off-the-shelf polishes and glazes come in 8oz bottles. These are half that size. I do a full detail of my car twice a year and usually get 3 years out of a bottle... 6 full jobs. So, I'm betting that you'd get 3 or 4 full details out of each bottle in this kit.

Question 4

Quiero saber el orden de uso cual es primero y cuale sigue?

Accepted Answer

El orden de los productos dependera de las condiciones en las que se encuentra la pintura del auto. Ten en cuenta que entre mas bajo el numero del producto más fuerte es y por lo tanto corregira mayor cantidad de marcas y manchas de agua en la pintura. Pero, si la pintura no necesitaba utilizar un producto tan fuerte tambien podrias crearle nuevas marcas. Lo mas recomendable es comenzar (acuerdo a como se ve y siente la pintura), comenzar con el producto mas suave(de mayor numero) para asi incrementar de ser necesario y no afectar mas la pintura.
