## Description

The V32 Optical Grade Extreme Compound is designed with advanced technology to eliminate the most extreme paint defects and imperfections. The V32 is formulated for fast cutting capabilities utilizing optical grade micro abrasive technology to restore older paints and polish newly painted surfaces. This advanced compound is designed to cut through heavy paint imperfections for precision results. This is an ultra refined extreme compound designed to remove extreme paint defects while preparing the surface for the final steps of polishing. The V32 is formulated specifically for extended work time. The V32 hybrid compound is the first water based OEM approved compound capable of removing heavy paint imperfections and defects permanently. The V32 delivers perfect results without filling in or covering up. Optical grade micro abrasives rapidly eliminate imperfections and remove 1200-1500 grit sanding scratches and swirls. The V32 delivers a perfect finish with fewer passes and is equally effective on both ceramic finishes and conventional clear coats. The V32 has optical abrasive material that utilizes dynamic finish capabilities which cuts through the paint damage at extremely high levels, yet has the longer work time characteristics that other compounds lack. The V32 allows the user to have longer control of the product giving the perfect platform for the amazing finish. The V32 optical grade hybrid compound creates endless possibilities to bring any vehicle to the next level of ultimate perfection.

Review: Worked Great for Removing Water Spots from vehicle windows - I used Chemical Guys V32 to remove hard water spots from the exterior windows on my 2019 GMC 1500 Denali Truck, and the results were impressive. I paired it with felt polishing pads and a handheld sander, and it cut through the water spots much better than I expected. The compound worked quickly, polished the glass clean, and left a noticeable improvement in clarity. There are several videos online showing the process, which helped dial in the technique. This product did exactly what I needed and performed very well.
Review: Worked great - Bought a Black Xterra that had spent most of its life in NYC and had sat outside for quite awhile. The vehicle was dirty when I looked at it and after washing it and getting it home almost stroked as to how bad the paint really was. Realistically, thought I was going to have to repaint the entire thing. However, so far so good. I used a 6" DA polisher and went over each panel twice with this compound and then finished with the Chemical Guys V38 polish. The vehicle has turned out amazingly well. The hood could probably use another pass or two because scratches are still visible under direct fluorescent light (which is the worst for showing damage), but at this point it looks amazing outside and I will leave it alone for fear of going too far. This compound has a great working time and it may go to now from prior use of 3M.
