Review on Chemical Guys Gap_619_16 Radiant Enhancer by Robert Grind

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was most impressed with the chrome and metal polishes

My first big part in any car and especially my 2012 Audi A7. The paintwork was generally in good condition but I had water spots, lots of swirl and a few noticeable scratches. When the feedback was positive, I used the protocol described below. I spent 2 1/2 days at work but I think the results were impressive. I've used Chemical Guys V36 and V38 almost everywhere in the car, and even before I got to the extra post-mixing steps I knew I was going to have a great finish. There was no liability to any of these connections. They held and were easily finished with a Porter Cable 7424XP Polisher. I used an orange Country Lake pad with a V36 and a white pad with a V38. The elimination of defects was very obvious at this point. Using subsequent products, the color and gloss of the black paint exceeded all my expectations. The picture I've attached is before I applied Wolfgang Füzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax, but to be honest I don't think I would need it other than for protection. Literally every speck of dust and small blemish shows up on such a beautiful black finish so now that I don't have a garage I'm going to buy an Audi cover. Otherwise I lose what I consider to be an almost perfect showroom pretty quickly. Here's my log if you're interested. See what you think. * Wash & Dry * Clay * Isopropyl Wipe * Chemical Guys GAP_VKIT_16 V Line - V36 & V38 * Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0 * Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish * Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 * Chemical Guys GAP_619_16 Black Light Hybrid Radiant Finish Color Enhancer * Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paintwork sealing 3.0 * Wolfgang Füzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax
