The scratches are light with a couple of deep ones.This stuff surpassed my expectations! Seemed to have taken care of all the light scratches, and the few deep ones minimized its appearance.I didn't have to use a lot, just a few drops at a time like the directions say.Chemical Guys, get some Jeep peeps to sponsor! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing stuff and it worked for me *by on Reviewed in the United States June 27, 2013* Here is an addition to my earlier review. One side of my RV was damaged by a low hanging branch, with some spots scratched down to the fiberglass surface, some that were surface scratches, and some with major swirl damage. I tried some pads and chemicals to manually buff out the surface scratches and swirls with only limited success on just a few of the scratches. It didn't work on the swirls at all. Clearly, doing it this way was going to take alot of time with minimal results.I purchased a kit from Amazon (SIQUK 33 Pieces Car Polishing Pad Kit 3 Inch Buffing Pads Foam Polish Pads Polisher Attachment for Drill) to help with the repair. After some research I decided to buy this Chemical Guys product plus two of their microfiber hand pads (a good decision). I didn't expect that removing the damage would be easy and it wasn't. One reason I chose the CG product were reviews that told me it is gentle and would take more effort. It also told me that, since my scratches and swirls were in multiple paint color areas, buffing them should not damage the areas that were not damaged. It took a day and a half to buff out the damage and in some areas faint scratches remain, but if you didn't know where to look you wouldn't see them. I had to apply and buff lightly as many as ten to fifteen times for each small area. A few areas were easier and faster to buff out. By the end, there were no more swirls, all of the surface scratches were either gone or barely there. The branches also put a horizontal scratch on one of my tinted windows. I could not buff out all of it but the scratch now blends in with the tint and is harder to see. At the start it was really obviously damaged. Note that I spoke with the window manufacturer before attempting the fix. They assured me that buffing would not damage the tint (it didn't) but it would not remove any of the scratching (it did). Note - CG says their product will restore a deep shine. It did not do that at all but some detailer and paste wax did.I have some Sikkens matching paint on the way in and I will apply a base coat, then the color, then clearcoat and that should minimize the obvious deep scratches.The CG product, pad kit, and some hard work saved me from replacing the window ($400), a professional car body painter (around $5,000), and having to take my RV to a paint shop and live in a hotel for a few days. I will have to see if painting the deep scratches will repair them but I think it will. The paint on order is from the same manufacturer and paint codes for my RV. All in all, the CG product, pad kit, paint, supplies, and some incidentals will total around $250. I recommend all of the products listed in this review. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glass Like Finish, Does Exactly As Advertised, Very Worth It *by on Reviewed in the United States January 2, 2019* This review is also coupled with the other products I used as they all helped to get to my final finish. Products used in my setup:Chemical Guys VSSChemical Guys White LightCarPro Cquartz UK 3.0Torq X Polisher with Orange Pad for Cutting and Blue Pad for spreading the White Light.Meguires Claybar 200gGriots Garage Iron RemoverMothers Magnesium PolishUsed Provided Microfiber clothes from Polisher (from chemical Guys)Now I did not take a picture at each step in the process as the end result is what truly matters and it saves 30 photos being uploaded here. I did inspect the paint at every single new stage and can report for each step. I will do my best to be descriptive with my findings to help all those who come after me.This work is done on a 2016 Summit White Camaro with 34,000mi on it and I got the car at 21,000mi from previous owner. I have about 3/4 years experience detailing but that is not needed to get amazing results, just time spent on the work itself. The first owner did leave scratches and swirls from improper washing but this was all on the surface. My process took my 9 hours not stop start to finish including all curing times and standard waiting period. This work was done on a vehicle stored in a garage overnight at a constant 65 degrees thanks to three heaters.1. I have the vehicle a wash with My standard soap setup and I don’t believe this had any effect on the end result as it was a simple car shampoo with zero additives but it was ph neutral. I wash my car weekly even up in Chicago winters so I don’t need a strong soap.2. I proceeded to use the iron remover on all surfaces of the vehicle with little agitation after the dwell time and proceeded to wash off with a spray bottle of water and a microfiber towel.3. After drying the vehicle I then claybarred the entire vehicle on every painted surface and used regular water as lubricant to avoid introducing extra oils or substances to my finish. After this step the paint was incredibly smooth and contaminant free as I spent pain staking time going over each body panel to make sure every single spot was touched and fixed up. It took awhile but it is all in the prep work when polishing and then ceramic coating as that final layer locks in all your work, and imperfections if you’re not careful.4. I then took some rubbing alcohol and lightly went over the entire vehicle to ensure a sterile surface and I didn’t feel the paint at this step as I did previously and this was entirely about keeping it contaminant free.5. I then took out my polisher and VSS and began taking off my scratches and swirls. There are tons of videos on YouTube from chemical Guys to teach you how to properly do this so I will skip the lesson, I did use the Orange Hexlogic cutting pad. After working in small areas and taking my time very slowly I worked panel by panel and I was happy with the little fatigue I experienced from using the machine. At the very end of the day it didn’t feel like I used the polisher for the 5 hours that I did total, very impressed. I bugged off the Polish per the instructions and wait time and was left with an incredibly glass like surface that eliminated all of the imperfections of the paint. This took the longest off all steps and was close to how long my clay service was but I wanted to leave no swirl behind and I spent very long. (A desk chair with wheels or anything to sit that rolls makes your life thousands of times easier than standing for so long)6. I followed Up the Polish with the WhiteLight and using the polisher to spread the glaze was incredibly easy and a little goes a long way. You use way less than if you did it by hand and it spreads very thin and I used speed setting two for this with no pressure but the weight of the machine to apply. After this step was complete I checked the finish and it was like a mirror, cool to the touch and silent when touching with the back of my hand. I was very impressed and I went into this thinking there was a placebo effect that it’s for white cars it’ll make it pop but I’ll only think so after pouring hours into it and wanting to see a difference. I got two outside opinions from the start of the day to this step and they noticed a massive difference and compared this to a car on a museum showroom it was perfect.7. I then followed up this process with applying my ceramic coating and this was a very easy process with incredibly fast flash time and the spreading was incredibly easy and a little went a very very very long way. I barely used a quarter of the vile and it always had an even coat that I checked constantly under light to make sure I wasn’t running it too thin. I have a plastidipped black roof and rear section of the vehicle and I tested a small spot first and when there wasn’t a reaction I also coated the plastidip as the box said it’s ph neutral and safe on nearly anything. After applying I noticed the plastidip had a slick feel and was very glossy (I had 3/4 coats of gloss on mine as I wanted the gloss level to match the OEM white) and I was very impressed. The pictures provided are after I finished the entire day with my vehicle, although this was the last step the paint saw.8. My last steps were using mothers metal polish for my exhaust tips and what an incredible difference it made. I later cleaned my windows and interior and followed up with my engine bay and then my tires. Finished the day with Meguirs Tire Gel and then let the vehicle sit before I drove it for as long as I could that the time of day would allow for.Overall the combination of the products worked incredibly well and each one used for the paint would be amazing by itself and in combination with your other favorite products, I just gave my list of products used to help others as I love reading in depth reviews for these important topics and the amount of products out there. My pictures provided aren’t of the highest quality as I can’t take quality photos and it was a long day and I was just happy to drive my car after. I would entirely recommend the products and the others mentioned and the biggest thing is the prep it takes to get the paint entirely clean and then having the time in the day to devote to this job. I haven’t tested the ceramic capabilities as it has to allow 24 hours before contacting water at all and then it still cures over the next 5 or so days, but it feels and looks amazing. I recommend 100% and I am in love with the look and feel of my vehicle. ## Frequently Bought Together - Chemical Guys COM_129_16 VSS One-Step Scratch and Swirl Remover Compound Polish, Works on Cars, Trucks, SUVs, Motorcycles, RVs & More (16 oz) - Chemical Guys CLY_113 OG Clay Bar & Lubber Synthetic Lubricant Kit – 16 fl oz, Light/Medium Duty, for Car Lovers, Detailers & Auto Enthusiasts – Essential Car Detailing Kit Accessory, 2 Items, Yellow - Chemical Guys BUFX_204 Hex-logic Hand Applicator Pad Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/13505656-vss-scratch-and-swirl-remover](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/13505656-vss-scratch-and-swirl-remover) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
