The Chemical Guys V34 Optical Grade Hybrid Compound (SKU CHGGAP_V34_16) is a mid-grade refining compound designed for automotive paintwork. This product is made to remove light-to-moderate swirls, scratches, oxidation, and wet-sanding marks (1500-2000 grit) from super-hard paint finishes. It is universal in application, intended for use on clear coats, scratch-resistant coatings, ceramic clear coats, and optical plastics including headlights and taillights.

Constructed with optical-grade micro-abrasives that diminish through use and formulated without fillers, the compound delivers true correction without masking defects. The formula is water-based, includes advanced lubricants for extended work time, and produces minimal dusting. The product comes in a 16-ounce bottle featuring a flip-top cap for controlled dispensing. Compatible with dual-action (DA) and rotary polishers; safe for hand application although machine usage gives best results. Free from fillers and oils, ensuring that visible results reflect actual paint correction.
Users benefit from improved clarity, gloss, and a uniform finish-ready surface.

Perfect for enthusiasts and professionals looking for a high-performance compounds without compromising paint safety. With regular use and proper techniques, surface defects are corrected and depth of shine is maximized.
