Farécla G3 Pro: understand the range before choosing
Farécla's G3 Pro range here contains two abrasive scratch-remover consistencies, a reusable decontamination mitt and a two-pad applicator pack. The 500ml liquid and 150ml paste are older Farécla SKUs 7164 and 7163, now discontinued by the maker but available while remaining stock lasts. They must not be confused with the current 7263 formulation or with the non-abrasive clay and pad accessories.
AutoMotoPart currently lists 4 Farécla G3 Pro items. The largest Farécla G3 Pro groups are 4 valeting entries. Farécla G3 Pro totals can change, so a category count is orientation rather than proof that a particular reference suits a vehicle, workplace or job. The exact Farécla G3 Pro listing, its current technical information and the item in front of you must agree.
What the Farécla G3 Pro page actually covers
| Product group in this range | Current entries | Selection focus |
|---|---|---|
| Valeting | 4 | Keep 500ml liquid, 150ml paste, lubricated clay mitt and white/black waffle pads in their distinct cleaning, correction and finishing roles. |
Two entries are polishing compounds, one is a reusable detailing mitt and one is a two-pad accessory pack. Farécla marks the old 7163 paste and 7164 liquid as discontinued. The live liquid description contains socket-tool data and the pad description contains ignition/OE data; neither belongs to G3 Pro and both are excluded.
Build a reliable shortlist
Start with the surface, contamination and defect depth. Establish whether the job needs washing, bonded-contaminant removal, local or broader hand correction, or final wax application. Verify paint type, repaint history, edge condition and thickness where appropriate before using any abrasive.
| Check | Why it matters | Useful evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Defect | Surface marks and through-coat damage need different responses | Clean inspection, fingernail test and paint depth |
| Area | Liquid spreads readily over multiple marks; paste supports local work | Panel size and Farécla SKU 7164 or 7163 |
| Contamination | Bonded dirt can create new scratches during polishing | Washed panel and lubricated clay-mitt assessment |
| Pad colour | White cuts while black applies wax or restores gloss | Clean dedicated pad and matching G3 Pro task |
| Formula age | Old and new Scratch Remover instructions differ | Exact part number, label and current maker guidance |
| Finish | Correction can leave dark paint dull or unprotected | Inspection light, finishing polish and protection plan |
Do not choose paste because it sounds stronger or liquid because the bottle is larger. Farécla describes consistency and working area as the practical difference between these older formulas. Defect depth, paint condition and controlled technique determine whether correction is appropriate.
Prepare paint before any abrasive work
Wash away loose grit with paint-safe tools and dry using clean microfibre. Work on a cool panel out of direct sun. Remove bonded contamination before polishing so particles are not dragged across the finish. Mask textured trim, sharp body lines, badges and delicate edges where residue or reduced paint thickness creates risk.
Inspect from several angles with a focused light. A fingernail that catches indicates a deeper defect; aim only to reduce its appearance and preserve clearcoat. Paint-transfer marks can resemble scratches, while cracks, chips and exposed substrate need repair rather than further abrasion. If the vehicle has been repainted or paint depth is uncertain, test a discreet area or defer to a detailer.
Liquid and paste suit different working areas
Farécla describes old 7164 Liquid as fluid and convenient for multiple scratches over a larger area, and old 7163 Paste as more solid for localised scratches. Their use sequence is otherwise similar: dampen a clean white waffle pad, apply a small amount, rub back and forth, buff with a clean dry soft microfibre and reassess before repeating.
These are discontinued predecessor formulas, not the current 7263 Scratch Remover. Farécla says its new formula is highly lubricated and needs no water, whereas the old liquid and paste instructions call for a damp pad. Keep the product label with the job and do not transfer current instructions to old stock. Replace split, dried, separated or unidentifiable product rather than improvising.
Clay mitt removes bonded contamination
The 7191 Deep Clean Clay Mitt uses a polymer face to lift ingrained dirt, bugs, small tar spots and dulling pollutants from supported paintwork, windscreens and headlights. Wash first, then spray the work area and mitt with the supported detailer or use the stated shampoo solution. Glide the clay face with light pressure and keep both it and the surface wet throughout.
Never use the mitt dry. Check the face frequently so trapped particles are not dragged into paint. After a section, wipe and feel the surface gently for improvement. Rinse contaminants from the clay side after use, allow it to air-dry and store it clean in a resealable bag. Retire it if the polymer is damaged, permanently contaminated or has contacted an unsafe surface.
White and black waffle pads have separate jobs
The 7167 pack contains two colours. Farécla assigns the white cutting pad to Restore products for defect removal and the black finishing pad to wax application or gloss restoration. Colour is the role identifier; do not swap them once product has been loaded, because abrasive residue in a finishing pad can reintroduce marks.
Use a clean pad face and only enough product to lubricate the intended work. The waffle pattern helps distribute material, but it does not eliminate the need for controlled pressure. Clean or replace a saturated, torn or gritty pad. Store each colour separately after washing and drying so wax, compound and dirt do not migrate between jobs.
Inspect, refine and protect the result
Buff residue with a clean dry microfibre and inspect under the same light used at the start. Repeat only when paint condition and remaining thickness justify it. Stop if the panel heats, colour appears on the pad, gloss falls unexpectedly or a sharp edge becomes exposed. Farécla notes that hand polishing may produce minor dulling on dark colours, which can need a suitable finishing product.
Correction removes or levels material; it does not leave every finish protected. Apply a compatible wax or sealant only after residue is removed and the surface is ready, using the black pad where its directions support it. Keep records of product SKU, area, number of passes and observed result, especially on repainted panels or vehicles likely to receive future correction.
From identification to a checked result
| Stage | Good practice for this range | Mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Assess | Wash, light the panel, test defect depth and inspect paint condition | Compounding dirt, chips or through-coat scratches |
| Decontaminate | Use the clay mitt wet with supported lubricant and light pressure | Using the mitt dry or with trapped grit |
| Correct | Choose old liquid for broader work or paste for local marks | Using new-formula directions on discontinued stock |
| Control | Use the white pad, small amounts, limited passes and cool paint | Pressing harder when the scratch is too deep |
| Finish | Buff, inspect, refine if needed and protect with the black pad | Leaving abrasive residue or cross-contaminating pad colours |
Label and store the white and black pads separately, clean the clay mitt and retain the old Scratch Remover part number. A simple record prevents a later user from assuming discontinued 7163 or 7164 follows the current water-free formula.
Reading real Farécla G3 Pro references
The Farécla G3 Pro names below are examples from the current range and show why the complete description matters. They are not universal Farécla G3 Pro recommendations and should not be treated as a fitment list. Within Farécla G3 Pro, a shared family word can conceal a different dimension, connector, material, pack format, operating condition or installation side.
| Example listing | What to verify beyond the name |
|---|---|
| G3 Pro - Scratch Remover Liquid - 500ml | 500ml old liquid SKU 7164, broader working area, damp white pad and discontinued status |
| G3 Pro - Deep Clean Clay Mitt - Single | single 7191 clay mitt, continuous lubrication, supported surfaces and clean storage |
| G3 Pro - Scratch Remover Paste - 150ml | 150ml old paste SKU 7163, local defect work, damp white pad and discontinued status |
| G3 Pro - Applicator Waffle Pads - Pack of 2 | two-pack 7167 pads, white cutting and black finishing or wax roles |
The socket sizes, chrome-vanadium tool data, ignition-distributor circuit count and OE numbers embedded in the live records are unrelated catalogue contamination. They cannot identify, fit or describe any Farécla detailing product.
