How To Use a Graphene 3-in-1 Polish With a DA Polisher

Graphene 3-in-1 polishes are designed for enthusiasts and professionals who want efficient results without running multiple correction steps. These products combine light to moderate defect removal, finishing ability, and long-lasting protection in one streamlined process.

In this McKee’s 37 video, Nick Rutter demonstrates how to properly use a graphene 3-in-1 polish with a dual action polisher to restore gloss, improve clarity, and leave behind protective graphene technology.

What Makes a Graphene 3-in-1 Polish Different

Unlike traditional compounds or polishes that focus only on correction, a graphene 3-in-1 formula cuts light swirls, refines the paint, and deposits a graphene-infused protective layer. This makes it ideal for maintenance corrections, daily drivers, and time-sensitive details.

Step 1: Prep the Paint

Wash and decontaminate the vehicle before polishing. Clean paint allows the polish to work evenly and prevents dragging contamination across the surface during correction.

Step 2: Choose the Right Pad

Select a polishing or light cutting foam pad depending on the condition of the paint. Softer pads emphasize gloss and protection, while slightly firmer pads increase correction ability.

Step 3: Prime the Pad and Apply Product

Prime the pad lightly and apply a small amount of graphene 3-in-1 polish. These products are designed to work with minimal product—more is not better.

Step 4: Use Controlled Speed and Pressure

Set the DA polisher to a moderate speed and use light to moderate pressure. Work in small sections using overlapping passes to ensure uniform correction and coverage.

Step 5: Wipe Off and Inspect

After polishing, wipe away residue with a clean microfiber towel. Inspect the finish for improved clarity, gloss, and uniformity. The surface should feel slick and protected.

Why One-Step Graphene Polishing Makes Sense

For daily drivers and lightly neglected paint, a graphene 3-in-1 polish saves time while delivering noticeable improvement and durable protection. It’s an efficient solution that balances correction and longevity.
