FAQs
Quick answers from the Ethos team.
Is this kit right for my paint?
It is built for well-kept daily drivers with light-to-moderate swirls, wash marring and dull paint. Defects still visible after one pass? The Microfiber One-Step Kit cuts more in the same time.
Do I need a machine polisher?
Yes. Everything in the kit is built for a 5" DA polisher, the safest choice for first-timers.
Why two Orange Foam pads?
So you can swap to a clean pad halfway through the car and keep the results consistent.
Can I coat right after?
Yes. Everything in the kit is filler-free. Wipe each panel with Detox first to remove polishing oils, then protect.
What can't it fix?
Scratches you can catch with a fingernail are usually through the clear coat. Not for matte or satin paint, vinyl wrap or PPF.
What if I do not love it?
Every Ethos product has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
