You absolutely did well detailing the hood. Leaving the rock chip out because that requires body work and paint, there were still very noticeable scratches on that hood. The next level is to wetsand any "serious" damages to the finish with 2 thousand grit wetsand paper

Hey guys, awesome videos. I’ve got some very light scratches and swirls. First question, what’s the difference between the C4, P4, your V series, and VSS? What would work the best in my situation? Can those swirls and scratches be taken care of with a hex-logic hand pad? Thank you!

I got a heavy duty claybar to remove the overspray on my driver side door and it has a good effect. But I realized it's hard to tell if the claybar is dirty because the color is gray. Hopefully in the future the heavy duty clarbar can be made by the light color.

What to use for a black 85 firebird? Garage kept but not a lot of clear coat left on it. Minor scratches. I’ve been told if I use a a buffer it’ll make swirls that won’t come off, but the orbital is different..

This is what I'm thinking for my black F 150 pickup. Any suggestions and advice is welcome. Start with clean slate, clay bar, C4 followed by P4, then another wash with clean slate just to make sure everything is off. Ceramic treatment with Carbon Force. Then I'd like to put a glaze followed by a wax. Any suggestions on what to use for the last two ?

@MrHackfu 9 ай бұрын

Instead of washing after the polish, I used their Wipeout spray.

@ChemicalGuys 9 ай бұрын

Sounds like a fun weekend! Make sure you wait 24 hours after Carbon Force before your final steps - since your paint is dark we recommend Blacklight Glaze (www.chemicalguys.com/black-light-glaze/GAP_619_16.html) followed by either Butter Wet Wax for a warm glow, or Lucent Spray Shine for a cool mirror shine. Maintain your coatings with HydroSuds so all your hard work lasts as long as possible! (www.chemicalguys.com/hydrosuds-ceramic-carwash/hydrosuds-ceramic-carwash.html) Happy detailing!

Chemical Guys, what do I do if a vehicle has pin sized rust spots coming through as well as cosmetic scrapes? Can I still ceramic coat it? Or must I get my whole vehicle professionally repainted first?

@evanfitch6810 8 ай бұрын

Pin sized rust spots may not be from your car, if they’re that small, you likely picked up pieces of iron from the road. Try clay bar and use an iron decontamination spray as lubricant.

how hard are u pushing when using the c4 or p4??

@uniquenwo8976 9 күн бұрын

It’s all depends on how deep the scratches are. Deep ones need a hard and slow pass. Light ones can be done with light and fast passes.

Chemical guys, I have a question. Do I have to use both p4 and c4 or can I just use one of them? If so which one would be better?

@ChemicalGuys 9 ай бұрын

Hey there! While for best results we recommend using these together as a two-step process (C4 then P4), you can absolutely use them individually, depending on your needs. For scratch and swirl removal you'll want to use C4, for a finishing touch and that sweet jeweling look use P4. Thanks for watching!

@FarikoPacer 8 ай бұрын

Yes you have to use both. If you use compound it has abrasives in it. It’ll leave pad marks and the polish takes those out and brings out the jeweling (shine) out

@filip36365 6 ай бұрын

Depends on how you wash the car. If you use brushes or carwashes yes they will. If you wash your car without physically touching it they wont. I wash my car using a pressure washer. You can also use a foam cannon. Apply soap with the pressure washer (soap attachment) or your foam cannon. Dry with a leafblower as even microfiber can leave marks

Try a touchless car wash if you have one near you. It uses harsher chemicals to get it clean so be advised of that, but it won’t scratch.
