Thank you so much for doing the At Home vids! And especially for showing them in direct sunlight! This has been so helpful and I am very grateful and appreciative!👍

Lovin the videos Henry! Just built an arsenal for washing and polishing! Trying to bring out any shine in my 1956 chevy. Arizona car with basically no rust, but is very sun patina. Majority of clearcoat is missing. Sitting dry car looks black/greyish. Wet brings out green makes a lot of metallic flake pop, until she dries. The roofline has faded back to original turquoise with that green around edges. Thank you Henry, DetailGarage and Chemical Guys!

I currently plan on using the foam blaster 6, blacklight wash soap, blacklight glaze, random orbital polisher kit, extra black hex pad, hand applicators. Complete claybar kit for glass. I'm not sure if I should also try to very lightly claybar the car and/or try to very lightly polish.

For best results, we recommend doing the sealant first, then follow it up with the wax.

Ok i am sorry my English is not 100% perfect so sometime I am not sure I understand so to start I want to put a ceramic coating to my Subaru the hydro slick hyper wax my question is I just wax my car last week so do I need to do this processing with the clay lumber or clay bar? Before I used hydro slick ceramic coating? Also can I used ceramic coating on my window my bike rack who is I stall on the back of my car anything else I should know before I start?

Top it off with your favorite spray wax! The temperature was in the 70's and as long as the surface is not too hot you will be fine applying Jetseal!

Forgot to ask also can apply the sealant with a orbital at lower speeds. Only asking because I will be doing a full exterior detail and doing paint correction on my whole car and I wanna know how to approach this. May have to do wash and clay one day and next day prep and do paint correction and protectants next day

@ChemicalGuys 3 ай бұрын

Yes, you may apply a wax and sealant with a orbital polisher. Just be sure to spread them using a finishing pad and the lowest speed setting.

Hey! Apply HydroSlick to a bare surface and then it can be layered with your favorite sealant and/or wax for added shine and protection.

Is it recommended to clay bar a brand new vehicle before applying a protectant coating, or is it not really necessary?

@Hammerback0 2 ай бұрын

Yes. Its necessary. "brand new" means it hasnt sold or been registered, it could have been built and sat on a delivery truck or lot for who knows how long

So after you do this method how do you was between? Just do regular wash and wax?

@gperezx23 Ай бұрын

I usually do a spray wax after every wash ( I wash mine 1x a month) after doing this method. And maybe butter wet wax every 2-3 months to keep shine and protection.

@@tigris4149a2 any product you apply in sun will be inferior in shine and protection and definitely durability. You have a garage right behind you and even most apartments have car ports. Buy decent products and do it correctly. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

@ChemicalGuys 3 ай бұрын

Hey! We recommend checking out the first video. This series is intended for anyone that does not have a garage, shade, or a detailing bay. There are a lot of people that ask us this question that is why we did this video. Btw the sun will not inferior the protection and durability because we clayed the surface to allow the sealant and wax to go into the pores of the paint. If you don't clay and just apply a sealant or wax that is when the sun will make it wear off faster.
