Whether you're new to detailing or a seasoned pro, it is necessary to follow the Detailing Flow Chart to get the best results. Today, Nick explains the entire Chemical Guys Detail Flow Chart from start to finish. Beginning with the wash process to remove the abrasive particles that are accumulated from daily driving or being exposed to the elements. Once the vehicle is clean and dry it is time to dive deeper by using a clay bar to extract embedded contaminants that leave the surface looking and feeling rough. Have you ever wondered how to get rid of the scratches, swirls and spider web appearance of your paint and restore a mirror gloss? Machine polishing is the answer! Use the V-Line of polishes to determine what range is necessary for your paint. We recommend starting with the least aggressive approach as your baseline. Once desired level of shine has been achieved it is necessary to now add a protective layer such as a ceramic coating. The freshly polished surface leaves bare paint exposed to the elements which can quickly clot the pores with contamination. Use a combination of ceramic, glaze, sealant, and wax for extreme depth, warm shine and intense water beading action. Wrap up your detail by using your favorite quick detail spray to remove reside, dust and fingerprints for a flawless finish.

If you're borderline OCD, you need to start detailing. Takes me at minimum 5 hrs, but a few beers and good music, some nicotine and I'm all set. The prize is ever so rewarding. Figured I'd learn as one of my cars was ruined from auto washes and Florida sun and I never waxed or sealed, relying on the most expensive auto wash to protect my baby. Big mistake. So I learned my lesson and started detailing my newer vehicles myself. Turns out I enjoy doing it and looking to start a side gig. Everyone walking their dogs by my house stop and ask if I have a business! I do now. And here i was in a pinch needing extra income to help with a home purchase. Never would've thought. Thanks Chemical Guys. For real. I'd love to promote Chemical Guys. You all have any car decals or anything.?

Is it clay bar instead of compound or should you compound then clay bar before polishing and moving on with the flow chart?

Hi Rebecca! Thanks for watching. It would be best to wash, clay bar and polish the vehicle before moving on to coatings. The TORQX is a great machine for honing polishing skills. It is completely fine to skip ceramic, glaze, and sealant but we recommend them because the more layers on the paint, the more gloss and protection it will provide. - CG Nick

Also, would you recommend VSS or Jet seal. And as for wax what would you recommend white wax or butter wet wax. Also, since the car is a year old if I use the OG clay bar would it damage my paint, or it would damage it, since it hasn’t been clayed ever since I bought the car. Great video Nick!!

Hi Chemical Guys! Been following you for a few months now, getting into detailing myself. I was about to place an 800 dollar order for everything last week, but your website kept saying it couldn't find what i was looking for when i went to the cart. It still isn't working, so ended up buying *some* of the stuff on amazon. Id like to buy directly from you, and I know I will be spending a few hundred a month likely, is this due to the covid 19? Or could I be doing something wrong? Love the videos! From what reviews I have watched, nobody beats your products and prices.

Nick, This video is just what I needed since I'm overwhelmed by all the similar products that CGs offers. I'm surprised that you don't have an iron remover before the wash. If I wash my car, clay it, wash it again, skip the compound/polish since my paint is good, add Wet Mirror Finish, then Jet Seal, and finally Butter Wet Wax, would this be a good work flow? And, would it be safe for me to use all of these materials (less the compounds) on my ceramic coated vehicle? Thanks! 👍

Hey! Absolutely, perfect combination in the correct order and it is safe for ceramic coatings. - CG Nick

Hi, very great video....Is it mandatory to use Chemical Guys products for polishing? Can I use polished products from other brands and then apply HydroSlick? I am in Vietnam and it is difficult to buy all your products (although I would love to), currently I only have HydroSlick

Hi there! Thanks so much for watching. Although it is recommended to use one brand for consistency it's perfectly fine to use other brands before applying HydroSlick. - CG Nick

Awesome video! Question; My Truck is a 2016 and I have never clay bar'd it should I use a medium or a heavy for the first time? Also after this first clay treatment do you typically move to the OG for subsequent clay treatments? Also living in Florida we have tons of bugs! Can I clay my car if there is bug residue on the paint or should I use your tar remover to get that off first? Thanks so much for the awesome how-to videos!

Hey there! I would use a Medium Clay Bar with plenty of Luber to remove stains, contaminants and other stubborn grime. There's no need to move down in the levels of clay, the medium will do the job. - CG Nick

After clay bar if I don’t have a polisher can I go straight to a wet wax?

For headlights, after wet sanding is it best to use the Headlight Restorer product after polishing with V34 and V36 or does it come before polishing with the V line products

@ChemicalGuys 4 жыл бұрын

Hey there! After wet sanding and polishing with V34 and V36 it is not necessary to use Headlight Restorer but rather apply a protectant such as HydroSlick or JetSeal. - CG Nick

My only complaint here is not explaining the washing side of things; like foam, pre wash, main wash, wheels & decontamination etc. Aside from that, this was extremely helpful

Do you apply the jetseal then a couple minutes after apply butter wet wax?

Hey David! Thanks so much for watching. Yes, after wiping off spent JetSeal allow the paint to breathe for a few minutes before applying Butter Wet Wax. - CG Nick

What would you recommend for the maintenance and upkeep after stacking products? When, or what would I look for to eventually strip it all down and start from the beginning?

@ChemicalGuys 4 жыл бұрын

Hey! We recommend Mr. Pink, it is the perfect maintenance car wash shampoo that is tough on dirt, yet gentle on wax and sealant with slick lubricants that gently guide dirt and grime off the car for a scratch-free wash! www.chemicalguys.com/mr.-pink-super-suds-superior-surface-cleanser-car-wash-shampoo/mr-pink-shampoo.html

If you skip the V-line of products because the paint is in good condition, are you going straight to the glaze or are you applying the ceramic products first?

@ChemicalGuys 4 жыл бұрын

Good question, following the flowchart you would just delete the polishing section and continue as normal by applying ceramic before glaze, sealant and/or wax. - CG Nick
