Griot's Garage BOSS Fast Correcting Cream for Car Polishing and Detailing, Swirl, Scratch Remover for Vehicles, 16oz

I'm a classic car enthusiast/collector and have learned over the years how to do my own paint correction and detailing. I've used a lot of different products, from mainstream brands such as Turtle Wax and Meguiars, to much more expensive "boutique" products. In general, I haven't found the more expensive products to be any better than Meguiars......until I tried the Griot's "Boss" system. I now have the whole Boss line of polishing compounds and the associated range of buffing pads. They are both the easiest to work with and give the best results of any products I've used hands down. This fast correcting cream works really well with a microfiber buffing pad to remove all but the heaviest scratches/defects. I don't think I would want to use anything stronger for fear of removing too much clear coat. I've used this cream once on all my cars, and probably will not need it again. For lighter defects the regular correcting cream and a foam pad work fine. Now I just maintain my cars with the "Perfecting Cream" and "Finishing Sealant", and I'm good to go with a show-ready finish. These Griot's products are great - no dusting, easy to wipe off, they smell good and most importantly give superior results. For me they are well worth the small price premium over more mainstream brands.

This has changed the two step paint correcting landscape. As a first step cutting compound this product has zero dust, a long work time and is easily wiped off. If your technique includes a DA polisher, you can finish this down to eliminate any haze or marring. I’d suggest a quality microfiber 5” or 6” pad. After use, a few passes with a decent polishing cream leaves an amazing high gloss finish for show car appearance. For a day drive this can be utilized as a single step product. Please note, I have not used this on “ soft” paint at the time of this review.

I love this stuff! Great product that does what it's advertised to do. That said, just be aware that you aren't going to get the results shown in Griot's promo videos after just ten or fifteen minutes work time. You just aren't. Especially if you're working on paint that's been given up for dead years ago. And unlike the promo videos, you don't just give this product "a little shake" and it's ready to go. No, the user needs to REALLY shake it until if feels like a cream instead of a semi-solid paste. That applies to all the Griot BOSS creams. And that thing of spreading the polish around on the pad using the end of the bottle? No, just no. You can do it that way, but it's messy and a lot of the cream sticks to the bottle and gets wasted. This stuff is too expensive to waste like that. I use an old (clean) flat-bladed cake knife to evenly spread the cream...it's called "buttering the pad". If you're new to detailing, this isn't a finish product. It's a step in a process, one step using Griot's BOSS system of compounds, polishes, and waxes. It does work great, but the key word is "work". This isn't any sort of instant wipe-on-wipe-off product. You gotta *work* for the results. Paired with Griot's G9 polisher, it's a winning combination. It's worth the money. Use it as it should be used, and you'll get fantastic results.

This stuff is like time travel in a bottle. I had swirl marks so bad, I thought my hood had been attacked by an army of steel wool ninjas. One pass with this correcting cream and my paint went from “abused rental” to “garage queen.” Paired it with a Griot’s pad and it cut fast, wiped clean, and didn’t dust like a powdered donut. It’s like giving your car a spa day — only with more torque and less cucumber water.

Easy to use. I wish it had more cut, but love that it is non dusting.

Using this product correctly can eliminate baked on water spots and other paint blemishes, and greatly diminish signficant paint scratches. It can also partially or fully restore a good finish to small spots where clear coat has faded or been removed. I typically apply BOSS Fast Correcting Cream to a white BOSS Fast Correcting foam pad. That combination works well when used with a good random oribital polisher operating at appropriate speeds, buffing between each application, which sets up a nice base for appling a polish, sealant, glaze, and/or wax. This protocol has kept my vehicle's paint in good condition, even after many rough backcountry trips.

I had a few minor gouges in my fiberglass boat. I sanded them out going all the way from 220 to 800 grit sandpaper. This left a haze on the area where I sanded so I tried using 3M rubbing compound and wax to get the smooth finish back, to no avail. I saw a video where a boat owner used this product to get rid of the haze marks after sanding and decided to give it a try. This stuff was amazing! It took me about 10-15 minues using a polishing pad to get the finish back to match the rest of the boat. I finished by using a good quality wax. You cannot tell I had done any repair work on the 10"x10" area. It looks like it had never been damaged. I know this stuff is used by car enthusiasts, but it works great restoring fiberglass boats.

I will keep using this stuff with our orbital polisher as it is way faster than Griots other creams. As I get good results with half the work and can't tell the difference between the effect on the paint then the softer creams. I use for our RV rentals so time is very important as we do a final wax afterwards. Griots Ceramic coatings are great as spray and wipe but if you want a more beautiful shine then get the best of show. As you just spread on the whole Car or RV and go back an hour later and wipe off easily. But in some cases I will use the ceramic spray and then next day do the best of show by Griots as to offer a longer life to the cars shine.

Worked as expected.

Este producto corrige muy rápido los defectos en la pintura, y no la deja tan "opaca" como otros compuestos que he probado. Si no eres tan exigente podrías no necesitar un polish de acabado. Además de todo prácticamente no deja polvo. Me gusta mucho más que el Ultimate compound de Meguiars, lo recomiendo mucho.

WORKS

I've used a lot of products over the 30 years of driving. This is hands down the best restoring polish I have ever used. I tell everyone I know to buy it
