WOW! This was soooo cool! Thank you for showing this video. Definitely buying the entire line for my new purchase, a 2011 velocity yellow corvette grand sport!!
Should have gone to the comment section before watching all 22 minutes... lol jk. I loved the video too. Can't wait for better weather to bust out my detail kit recently purchased.
I am a Mobile Detailer and I use 100% of their products and the vehicles look AMAZING I absolutely love these guys and all of their videos and products
The best part is that HydroSpeed doesn't have a curing time, so you can use it if its going to rain tmrw and have that quick ceramic protection from the rain. Awesome product I have purchased
I've been nothing but thoroughly impressed with all the chemicals and products that you guys make. I have only tried a handful of them and I can't say enough about them. I did before and after pictures on my Facebook page and people were just amazed
I'm about to use my hydrosuds carwash with my new pressure washer from you guys. Can't wait. I love that you guys stand by your products and teach people how to use them properly.
Finally got to use my HydroSuds and HydroSlick today. So far very impressed, the HydroSlick in partucular went on very easy and wasn't too bad to remove. I did learn the hard way to apply/remove panel by panel, especially on glass. If you leave it sit too long, it takes a lot more effort to remove cleanly.
I’m going to be honest, I was skeptical buying ceramic coat products from Walmart, but I have used your cleaning products before and been blown away by them. So I tried the Hydro speed just to see and my paint is GLOWING. Really brought my car to life. I definitely will be doing the full process like in this video for sure .
Awesome video & step by step detail, not only inspired me to buy some of these new products (just when I thought I had everryyyything...) but I was very successful in using them all and the application of the products! Even the Torq buffer I got from you guys was SOOO simple (my 1st time ever using one..) I was skeptical since I just got a new s5 but in the end omg omg wow this method and these product charge, slick & vss made the Navarra Blue pop like I never imagined! Thank you!!
Excellent tutorial! I'm thoroughly impressed and learned so much. I bought a new truck this month and immediately purchased three interior products from Chemical Guys after doing some online research. I've been so happy with the items I purchased and am now noticing more and more Chemical Guys products / kits in local stores including Costco and Walmart. Today I decided to subscribe at TH-cam and began watching videos to better understand the full line of products offered. I'm hooked now and looks like I'll be doing the ceramic process next day off from work. Keep up the professional work, Chemical Guys. Cheers and I'll be spreading the word. 🛻 👍🍻
I love y’alls Blazin’ Banana Spray Wax. It’s 🔥. Smells amazing, and the carnauba wax in it really does a great job at making the paint easier to clean. As well as a very glossy finish. Very shiny. I live on a calíchè road and my truck is Oxford White. But I went 2 weeks without a wash cause I ran out of my first bottle of Blazin’ Banana wax. Noticed before washing it that it still held a great shine even after 2 weeks driving dirt roads and highways. Love you guy’s products
I notice this weekend when the garage door was down and the area was controlled it wiped off great. When the door would go up and any humidity would come in the wax would be tough to wipe, control the area and you’ll be fine.
Great presentation and even better energy! I'm considering a professional ceramic coat but not sure I can really justify the cost. How would you compare using CG ceramic products vs pro? It seems like at least annual treatments are needed which I'm fine with for the cost savings, but what about the level of protection, etc vs the pro applied stuff?
I used Carbon Force on my wrap last year and it was very easy besides me forgetting to crack open the garbage door lol and the results stunning after proper prepping of course. I might try the Hydro Charge next time and compare the two.
I was time pressed, applied 1 coat of hydrocharge, followed by 1 coat of hydroslick. Would it benefit to apply another coat or more of hydroslick when i can another day? Can you apply more coats after a general wash later on?
What do you do with the applicator and the towel used to buff off the ceramic? Do they contain ceramic and need throwing away in case the residue hardens on them? Answered at 14:18 ! Many thanks !!
Both are a great choice and can be used together for more durability and shine. Check out HydroSlick which can be applied to any surface that is gloss painted, shiny or clear.
I did not know that was yalls product been using it on my 2021 f450 and excited to do a full restore on my 2007 Mercedes’ that has not been washed in 2 years
My bottle of HydroSlick comes out with the consistency of curdled milk. is this normal? i really like your products. have tried about 1/2 of them....all seem to work well. is it ok to maintain the hydroslick with blazin bannana? how about the purple synthetic spray? pink quick detail? Oh... i also use the last 2 for my clay bar lube, is this ok? Great Thanks!
Just bought a new vehicle and want to do this process to enhance the shine. There are absolutely no scratches or swirls in the paint. Should I polish it first or can I get by with just using the clay bar first? Thanks for all the awesome videos!
My ceramic coating is a couple of years old. It does not shine like it did and water does not bead like it did when the coating was new. Do I have to remove the old coating or can I polish and recoat?
I noticed a lot of videos are done inside. Is it possible to do any of this outside. Want to keep my car looking good but don’t have access to a garage.
Could you clarify, please? What's the difference between the carbon force and the hydro series?? And also, I got a new car. Do you suggest using the carbon force or the hydro series?
Hey Henry or Nick got a question for you. When applying hydro slick how long do you wait before buffing it off when the temperature is in the 50's or 60's?
@@ChemicalGuys OK I've been using hydro suds. I do notice that it doesn't get some tougher bug mess off of the front. What to use for that? I'll have to look for a video on hydro speed. I'm not familiar with that. Thanks for the response
If you were going to use something like plastic restorer for the trim, where would that fit into these steps here? And what chemicals would go over it, if any?
Will this work on my seadoo trixx? I usually use you vpr on it and it looks amazing ive recommended to other trixx riders forever its great! But id like it ceramic coated.
What a great demo. Dumbed it down for me thanks. I love chemical guys products ,I use the leather kit all the time. Question can your products be applied in the sun?
Buying a new Tesla and gonna have it PPF wrapped but to save on costs was thinking to do this myself. Anything different about this process if being applied over new car and PPF ?? Thank you
Can I use hydro speed after use hydro suds shampooing my car as ceramic maintenance? If so, can I spray on wet, then wipe it dry? Or can only do it after I dry the car?
What if I had ceramic coating done at a detail shop and I have some small swirls after several months and washing. Can I use VSS Without it removing the ceramic coating?
So, What should I do from 2nd wash after I had those instruction for 1st wash? Can I only use hydro charge or slick either or should I put both all that time?
If you don't use Hydrocharge, can you still use Hydroslick? Because I want to put something on my car, I can clay bar it, but I don't have the tools to polish it.
Awesome video!! I just had a quick question. Should you ever use butter wet wax before or after a ceramic coating? Or is it not a good idea either way?
Hey! Angel! It is perfectly fine to use one or the other but you will achieve the most durable layer of protection by combining HydroCharge and HydroSlick.
Hopefully you guys answer again. But would it be smarter to be in a shop or something doing ceramics where as doing it outside your susceptible to the elements and dust or anything in the air could contaminate the vehicle?

Just applied Hydro Slick to my truck. Stuff is amazing. Will be picking up some Hydro Speed soon.
Gotta love HydroSlick!
Great video except for the annoying loud base music. Does Torq make a cordless & brushless tool?
I used Carbon Force on my wrap last year and it was very easy besides me forgetting to crack open the garbage door lol and the results stunning after proper prepping of course. I might try the Hydro Charge next time and compare the two.

I have a dilemma, which is better HydroCharge Ceramic Spray Sealant or Hydroslick Intense Gloss SIO2 Ceramic Coating HYPERWAX?
Both are a great choice and can be used together for more durability and shine. Check out HydroSlick which can be applied to any surface that is gloss painted, shiny or clear.
My dear friend, after applying these materials, should I apply blacklight, then jet seal and wax better?
My new car had Permagard coating, which of your products would you tell to maintain it? Is using Hydro speed ok?
HydroSpeed is safe for all coatings.
@@ChemicalGuys thanks heaps!

Any videos on scratch removal on headlights??. Love the videos and the products glad im able to purchase at our local stores. Keep up the good work. 👍
Hi Luis! Wet sanding is the most effective method of removing scratches from headlights.
th-cam.com/video/fOthbXKoCmQ/w-d-xo.html
can i do it manual while i buy the torq?
Absolutely, apply by hand for great results.
Never had the fire engine looking so good.
Enjoy your detailing products!!
I use the foam and hydro speed. I get crazy shine

Hi Brian! If the vehicle has no imperfections you can move straight to applying coatings.
Can I use hydro charge with out using hydro slick and speed I don’t have a lot of time to do all 3 steps?
Hi Mike! Absolutely, use HydroCharge as a standalone layer of protection.
Awesome info. Now I need it all for my vehicles.
Happy detailing!!

My ceramic coating is a couple of years old. It does not shine like it did and water does not bead like it did when the coating was new. Do I have to remove the old coating or can I polish and recoat?
Hey Steve! Machine polishing will remove old ceramic while at the same time prep the surface for a new coat.
Thank You, great advice!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome job and nicely explained. How long will this last?
Thanks so much for tuning in. Add up to one year of durable protection with an application of HydroSlick.
Your products are awesome! Quick question,what is the music at the very last segment of this video.
Great video! I looked through most of the comments and questions but couldn't find mine. Can you put hydro slick over carbon force.
Hey Les! Absolutely, it is perfectly fine to use HydroSlick on top of Carbon Force.
😱😍 the MK7.5 GOLF R!!! My dream car
Thanks so much for watching!
What’s better, clay bar or clay block?
Also, does hydro charge PLUS still require a 3hr cure before applying hydro slick?
Great video! Question, is the hydro charge necessary? It’s the only thing i can’t find in stores
I noticed a lot of videos are done inside. Is it possible to do any of this outside. Want to keep my car looking good but don’t have access to a garage.
We will be sure to make a full series outside. Thanks for watching and happy detailing!
Should you Jet Seal over the ceramic or can they be combined?
Hey James! Absolutely, add durability, depth and gloss by layering ceramic with your favorite glaze, sealant and/or wax.
When applying the ceramic coat, are you able to apply polishes and waxes before a ceramic coat? Like butter wet wax or VSS?
Yes, it's reccomended. Goes polish, wax, ceramic coat!
@@bobbyBoosh thank you!
Happy detailing!
No wax, just polish
Could you clarify, please? What's the difference between the carbon force and the hydro series??
And also, I got a new car. Do you suggest using the carbon force or the hydro series?
Great video. So after that process. Would you use your sealant, then a wet wax?
That's right!
These products r Amazing! What would u recommend for vinyl? Hydro slick for protection, hydro speed for cleaning?
Hey! Are you referring to a vinyl wrap?
@@ChemicalGuys yes! If I have a vinyl wrap on my car what should I use?🤔
Hey Henry or Nick got a question for you. When applying hydro slick how long do you wait before buffing it off when the temperature is in the 50's or 60's?
Hey there! Allow about 2 minutes for HydroSlick to bond when working in colder climate. Happy detailing!!

What product to use after you apply the ceramic coating? Like which wash products to use after for regular maintenance
Hey! Maintain your ceramic coating by using HydroSuds as your routine wash solution and use HydroSpeed in between washes.
@@ChemicalGuys OK I've been using hydro suds. I do notice that it doesn't get some tougher bug mess off of the front. What to use for that? I'll have to look for a video on hydro speed. I'm not familiar with that. Thanks for the response

Great suggestion! We are always searching for new locations that we can bring Detail Garage showrooms to.
Question.. after a wash and clay bar. Can I wax my car first and then apply all the following steps of ceramic coating?
Hi Pablo! For best results, apply ceramic before adding your favorite glaze, sealant, and/or wax.
Hydro hydro hydro..... lol had me walking around today with this word stuck in my head. Informative video!!!!! Thumbs up
I have your carpet cleaner and my whole Christmas list is full of your cleaning supplies
Glad you liked it!
Hey do you need to put hydro charge on before hydroslick? or can you use either without the other? Thanks
Hey! It is perfectly fine to use either HydroCharge or HydroSlick as a standalone layer of protection.
So the ceramic can be used as a protectantinstead of the jet finish
Absolutely!
Buying a new Tesla and gonna have it PPF wrapped but to save on costs was thinking to do this myself. Anything different about this process if being applied over new car and PPF ?? Thank you
Can I put your black light finish over ceramic wax?
Hey! Absolutely, it is perfectly fine to apply Black Light on top of ceramic.
Do you need to clean surface with Wipe out after polishing and before hydro charge +. ?
I don't see a link for the MOST IMPORTANT ITEM!
The Chemical Guys shirt!
Great idea, check out this link!

Can you use VSS by hand or is it meant to be only used with a machine?
Hey there! VSS is best suited for machine polishing. Check out V36 for hand polishing.
Can you apply this on top of your carbon force to give it even more protection
Absolutely!
Can I use hydro speed after use hydro suds shampooing my car as ceramic maintenance? If so, can I spray on wet, then wipe it dry? Or can only do it after I dry the car?
What if I had ceramic coating done at a detail shop and I have some small swirls after several months and washing. Can I use VSS Without it removing the ceramic coating?
So, What should I do from 2nd wash after I had those instruction for 1st wash? Can I only use hydro charge or slick either or should I put both all that time?
If you don't use Hydrocharge, can you still use Hydroslick? Because I want to put something on my car, I can clay bar it, but I don't have the tools to polish it.
Hello! Yes, it is perfectly fine to use HydroSlick as a standalone barrier of protection.
hi, i do not have a polish m machine, can one use the hand and a cloth to polish?
Hey! All of the products shown in this video can be applied by hand. VSS is be suited for machine application however this step can be skipped.
I just bought a new car and they ceramic coated it. They say it's good for 7 years. True or false and is ok to put the slick on it now
Hi Robert! Check with your dealer to ensure additional coatings won't void your warranty.
Awesome video!! I just had a quick question. Should you ever use butter wet wax before or after a ceramic coating? Or is it not a good idea either way?
Hey Jacob! For the longest lasting shine apply ceramic before adding wax.
@Chemical Guys would you still use slick after charge then butter wet wax?
Awesome job
Happy detailing!!
What’s the functional difference between P4 an VSS??
Thanks
Definitely trying this!!!!!
Happy detailing!
I would have thought the opposite. If would have thought hydroslick as the base and charge to charge the coating. I’ll do the reverse next time
Just did all the CG cleaning and just did the 1st layer of H CHARGE. OMG!

If I forgot to buy hydro charge, could I still detail the car with hydro slick?

Hi guys
Is Hydrocharge working on motorcycles painted fairings?
You guys are great...love your product
Hey Dan, thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!!
Do you need to use both hydro charge and hydro slick or can you just use one of them
Hey! Angel! It is perfectly fine to use one or the other but you will achieve the most durable layer of protection by combining HydroCharge and HydroSlick.
Is this line of products safe for motorcycles?
Absolutely!
Hopefully you guys answer again. But would it be smarter to be in a shop or something doing ceramics where as doing it outside your susceptible to the elements and dust or anything in the air could contaminate the vehicle?
Hi Zac! It is best to apply ceramic coatings in a garage when the surface of the vehicle is cool to the touch.
