    Been following for a few years now and just discovered a new Detail Garage just a couple of miles from my home. The techniques and products really do work. It's not just editing tricks and hype. Each situation is different from individual rides, weekend warriors and professional detailer. Each has their budget and specific wants and needs. Bottom line for me is the products I've used WORK. And if you don't "waste" product, they can go a long way. Thanks all at Chemical Guys. A toda madre.

    So once both sides are used in the 1/4 clay bar. How do we continue using it on more occasions? We do just re-roll it into a ball & make a new clay pay so the dirt on will not be there on the clay & we have a new clay service every time until it all seems brown full of dirt?

    Hey, Chemical Guys - should I touch up rock chips BEFORE I clay bar and polish? Or after? Its a black 2011 Camaro.

    • @ReLXe
      @ReLXe ปีที่แล้ว +3

      After. This way you have a clean surface so the paint can stick. After that, gently sand the spot on and around with 2000 and 3000 grit. Then polish over and you will hardly see anything anymore.

    • @ChemicalGuys
      @ChemicalGuys  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey! Using a clay bar will extract embedded contaminants from the rock chip. After allowing the touch-up paint to cure and harden, it can be color sanded with a fine grit sanding sheet and polished to blend the imperfection.

      Hey! We recommend washing it with Microfiber Wash, it is a specialty detergent that cleans and restores microfiber. The advanced cleaning formula releases dirt, grease, and residue, leaving microfiber feeling and performing like new.

    What’s better clay bar or mitt?

    • @ChemicalGuys
      @ChemicalGuys  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Edwin! Both are great options for removing embedded contaminations. A traditional clay bar is great for contouring and fitting into small areas whereas the Mitt covers a larger surface area and is more user friendly in regards to maintenance. If the Mitt is dropped it can be cleaned and reused, if a clay bar is dropped it will need to be replaced.
