How It Works

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.

Innovative Abrasives For Advanced Paint Technology

Paint technology is one of fastest growing segments of the automotive industry. Vehicle manufacturers now use advanced paint technology like ceramic clear coats and water-based paints that last longer than ever imagined. These advancements in scratch-resistant and ceramic clear coats have changed the way professionals and enthusiasts maintain the showroom fresh look of painted finishes. Scratch-resistant and ceramic clear coats resist scratches and blemishes in most situations, but also pose a difficult challenge when removing the swirls, scratches, marring, and holograms that do end up in the paintwork.

In order to give detailing professionals and enthusiasts a fighting chance, Chemical Guys spent three years developing V32 to give the user the highest level of cutting power in a safe and easy-to-use formula. V32 is the first optical-grade extreme compound that takes paint correction to the next level. Engineered to function without oils or fillers, V32 extreme compound is the perfect choice for the detailing professional and enthusiast striving for unmatched optical clarity. V32 is designed for extended work time and delivers unmatched results on scratch-resistant clear coats, and conventional single-stage paint finishes. Use Chemical Guys V32 Optical Grade Extreme Compound to remove the heaviest defects from the hardest paint finishes.

Heavy-Duty Cutting Power For Heavy Defects

Years of neglect, poor cleaning habits, and the harsh elements take their toll on all paint finishes. Automotive paint has one purpose: keep metal from rusting. The paint on your car must protect the metal substrate and resist UV sunlight, acid rain, snow, sleet, road salt, caustic pollution, chemicals, bug guts, bird droppings, and improper washing and drying—and it 's expected to look good doing it. Without proper cleaning and protection habits, paint fades, oxidizes, and gets obscured by millions of scratches and swirl marks. Without proper care, paint will eventually turn to dust and fall off the car. Wax 's main function is to protect paint from these elements, and adding shine is a minor and temporary side effect. True depth, reflection, and shine comes from the one detailing process that can actually repair paint: machine polishing. Chemical Guys V32 Optical Grade Extreme Compound is the heaviest scratch, swirl, and defect remover that repairs any paint finish, and prepares it for superior depth, glow, and reflection with finishing polish steps. V32 removes heavy swirls, scratches, oxidation, stains, and other paint defects from any single stage, conventional clear coat, or advanced ceramic clear coat finish on new and used vehicles. V32 is the only water-based extreme compound that is rated to remove wet sanding marks up to 1200-1500 grit. Cut away heavy paint defects with V32 Optical Grade Extreme Compound, and prepare your paint finish for superior results with further polishing steps.
