How do you know when it's time to change the clay bar, and how man clay bars would you need for an entire car? Thanks so much! I'd be appreciative of an answer from anyone who may know? Thanks again!
As always good stuff. I have tried your products and I am always pleased with the results. Looks like I have to try this in order to make my paint pop just a bit more.
Looks great, I'm curious as tho how long does the EZ creme glaze last on the car after how many washes would you say is it good for? Or rainy days? Thanks in advance
Hey buddy, thanks for watching this video, I know how you feel that's why you have to make it fun instead of looking at it like a chore.

Hi there! Yes, after washing and clay barring the vehicle you can either choose to polish or move on to coatings. Wax would be your final coating. - CG Nick
Chemical Guys how do you know which claybar to use? Never used clay at before just light t cut once a year with lots of waxes. I’m showing my age now. Lol
Hi Ferdinand! Thanks for tuning in. The TORQ 10FX is a dual-action polisher that can be used by professionals or beginners to correct paint or apply coats of glaze, sealant and wax.
Hi! If you have Deionized water then you can use it as lubricant because it contains no ions. When you use regular water, it will drag and cause marring and scratching onto the paint. Water will cause your clay to deteriorate while using it. Clay Luber is very slick and helps the clay bar glide without causing scratches and swirls.

So the EZ Creme Glaze or the Black Light Glaze are not the finishing step? Do I understand that correctly? Can you recommend a "Chemical Guys Wax or Sealant" for a black series 3 BMW?

As a college student, I really don't have the money or time to give my car a thorough clean like you have. Would a clay bar alone, improve the surface of the vehicle?
Clay bars tend add some marring to paint as they pull out contaminants. You'd need to follow it up with a polish or compounding depending on the condition of the paint.
Hi Jay, great question. Chemical Guys White Light Hybrid Radiant Finish is the ultimate gloss enhancer for a deep, wet, bright shine on white and light paint finishes. White Light is a premium gloss enhancer and sealant in one. Use White Light to add tons of extra deep wet shine, fill minor swirls and scratches, and clean minor stains and imperfections.

Hey Tarek, that's a great question. Although the Clay Bar and Clay Block achieve the same results, they do have some key differences. The Clay Bar is the original product, the Clay Block is synthetic clay bar that is a newer product. The Clay Block only has one "hardness", whereas the Clay Bar is much more versatile with four different levels of hardness. The Clay Bar must be thrown away when dropped on the floor, whereas the Clay Block can simply be washed and reused. You will also get much more uses out of the Clay Block when used properly. You can achieve pretty much the same results with either product, it just comes down to personal preference. Glad to have you part of the Chemical Guys family, Tarek, and stay tuned for new videos headed your way soon!
Nice video. The clear coat on my hood has turned into blotchy white patches. Would the products you use on this video help? I’ve been told there is nothing I can do about it, it must be repainted. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
Hey Rhonda, depends on how bad the clear coat is oxidized. If it isn't too far gone, then you might be able to polish it. However, if you took it to a professional they said there is nothing you can do about it, then there is nothing you can do about it. Once your clear coat is gone, it's gone and you will need a repaint. Remember for next time, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Use a premium CG wax or sealant to protect your car's fragile paint from the harsh elements to prevent damage on your newly painted hood in the future. Thanks for watching Rhonda, and make sure to subscribe to learn all the tricks to keeping your car looking its best for the longest!
What's up Angelo, Polishing this car would've been extra work, and the scratches were very fine. By claying the car, we removed the imbedded contaminants from the surface of the paint, which made the surface smooth, and filled the minor imperfections with the leveling technology of the EZ Crème Glaze. EZ Crème's formula comes with built in gloss enhancers that brought out the Kia's deep blue paint. For this car, a light polish like V32 with a medium hex logic pad would've removed the mild scratches and swirls seen in the video.
Hey Nadir, how's it going? Yes, that's a great way to protect your car after using a glaze. Thanks for watching, Nadir, and stay tuned for a new video dropping later today!
this guy did an amazing job if that car would have been my car and I seen him rubbing his hands on the car while the car was dirty making more scratches I would have been pissed off remember guys when the car is dirty you cannot pass your hands on it you only create more scratches
Explosion Gamer well the car was never dirty... It was already washed. The reason it made those noises is because of all the contaminants in the paint as he explained.
My Dads new Honda Accord has been permaplated over possible bird dropping ghost stains will clay bar remove it ?? He wants me to fix cuz he doesn’t wanna take it in Thanks
Hi! Clay will remove any light contamination, if the bird dropping is very superficial, we recommend Slick Finish Cleaner Wax. It contains micro-abrasives that will break down the bird dropping stain. If the bird dropping has already etched into the surface of the paint, we recommend polishing it with a compound or polish. Try clay first, maybe that will take if off. Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family! Here is a link to Slick Finish Cleaner Wax. www.chemicalguys.com/Slick_Finish_Cleaner_Wax_16_oz_p/wac20616.htm
Can the hydro slick ceramic coating be layered? I have a motorcycle and part of my weekend ritual is waxing the bike and I have a lot of fun doing it. Is using this product going to take away my weekend ritual?
that lil bite of shine looks nice..just wish we could see more of it with more light or sun shine..all most had me..im looking for some good stuff 2 put on my 350 and 370z,s..they both r pearl white..looks awesome but looking for a gloss ,glass wet look..(lmfao)..im sure that sounds kinda stupid right...any was fellas..from reading the posts..you guys know a thing r 2......
Thanks for watching the video. The entire process should take about an hour or so to complete. It could take longer if you're polishing by hand, using a polisher will decrease the application process of the glaze. Nick also uses a medium clay bar which takes longer to clay because of its size.
what should i use for my white car? the bumpers are white plastic and have some scratches what should i use to fix this? I also cant clean off the bugs and this black tar spots what should i use ? thanks.

Ok i should use clay bar. Then glaze then a wax. Or sealant then wax. Does the glaze wash off as i read below and the shine wont be as good ? What steps should i use to bring back the shine on my 2014 maxima. Shine is nice now but has minor swilrs
you guys always trick me into buying your products because of the videos, that kia wasnt "beat up" it had a very nice dark blue paint, i wanted my indigo blazer to look like that, true consumer review though your honeydew is the best soap i have ever put in my foam cannon, its been awhile since i used another brand but it seems to leave a nicer gloss after drying before wax
Hey there, thanks for watching. We don't publicly detail cars, we're detailing enthusiasts that sell products to empower people to detail their own cars.
I love this show but when you were claying you were going one way and when you took the left over stuff off you were going the opposite way? I know clay can leave marring but surely you want to minimise further in the reduction in leaving imperfections. Keep up the good works guys.maybe you should clean that rx7 in the background Ryan
Hi Ryan, thank you for watching our video, Nick wanted to demonstrate how to clay a vehicle and how to apply a glaze with a dual action polisher. The direction you clay in doesn't really matter as long as you move in straight lines, which is a key in any aspect of paint protection, washing, correction etc. If you use enough clay luber, you shouldn't be getting any marring, however, if you use the most aggressive clay bar, it will leave some kind of marring. We appreciate your comments, and we hope you continue to watch our videos. Nick actually detailed the Miata that you see on the lifts, he used a waterless wash to remove a blanket of dust that completely covered the car, it's been up there for longer than anyone can remember. I left you a link to the video below so you can check it out. Stay tuned for more great videos Ryan. th-cam.com/video/l9vbvLTq3yE/w-d-xo.html C.G. Alex -
I run a mobile detailing surface and have been looking for a solid glaze product. is there an ideal temperature range to apply this? we will be operating in as low as 40 degrees and during the summer, hit 95 degrees. hoping to see if this glaze is what we need!
Hi Mark, thanks for taking the time to reach out to us. All applications work best when used in the correct conditions, The best time to apply any type of protective, or cosmetic coating is when the vehicle's paint is cool to the touch. The best surface temperature range for applying compounds, polishes, waxes and paint sealants is in a range of 60 degrees to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Generally speaking, extreme temperatures, both cold and hot will make any product and/or procedure more difficult than working in a temperature range from 60 to 80 degree. The best conditions for using compounds, polishes, waxes and paint sealants on automotive paints would be in a cool place, out of direct sunlight, in a surface temperature range between 60 degrees and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, with comfortable to low humidity and with a light breeze to create the perfect conditions for detailing your car's finish.
The coat of glaze will last as long as the coat of protection you apply over it. We recommend applying a layer of sealant over the coat of glaze to make it last longer and shine better.
Awesome video. im just a little bit curious of, what if i do those methods and then use Glass Coating does it bond well with each other? i mean is it possible that i could maintain this kind of Gloss and Shine with a glass coating? Thank you for your response. 😁👊
Hey Aldrian, the glass coating should bond just fine to a nice clean surface. Always start by washing, then claying if you need to, polish the vehicle to remove imperfections, have the glass coating applied, wait about 24 hours, and apply a coating of glaze, wax, and a sealant. Here's some suggestions: Glozzworkz, Butter Wet Wax, or Extreme Top Coat, and Jet Seal. I think you'll love the results, my car looked amazing after using those.
You're welcome bro, thanks for watching. Just out of curiosity, how much does a glass coating cost? If it's too expensive, try the Carbon Flex, the people who've used it swear by it. Stay tuned, more great content on the way!
Chemical Guys actually i have two types of glass coating in here which is sensha and kisho which were from my cousin in Japan. The price seems kinda expensive but it worth for some of the car we've use with it.
Hey there, thanks for stopping by. We could recommend a few different products such as The Bug and Tar Heavy Wash, Nonsense Diluted up to 15:1, or using the Butter Wet Wax. If the sap has been nesting on your paint for too long, it will stay in the paint. You'll want to dilute the solution 6:1 in a secondary spray bottle. Butter Wet Wax has some really powerful oils that can break down some really sticky substances. Last thing you could try is using a clay bar to rub the sap out, make sure to use clay luber so that you don't create any marring. You should definitely apply wax and sealant after you get the sap out so the sap cannot embed itself into the paint. www.chemicalguys.com/Bug_Tar_Heavy_Duty_Car_Wash_16_oz_p/cws_104_16.htm www.chemicalguys.com/Nonsense_All_Surface_Cleaner_16_oz_p/spi_993_16.htm www.chemicalguys.com/Butter_Wet_Wax_16_oz_p/wac_201_16.htm
If it's pretty deep in there, you may need to polish it out, you have to get these things out quickly or else they will stain the paint permanently. You could possibly try using some Iso Propyl alcohol and see if that removes it. Good luck buddy, hope it's not too severe.
WD40. If you detail & work on cars/engines & di repairs, WD40 is the 100% go to cleaner & degreaser. Dirty greasy oily hands. Lava soap or orange scrub/jojo don't work. Spray WD40 on your hands & rub then wash off dawn soap. Remove bugs tar asphalt gum birdshit, WD40.
Hi Johnny, The clay bar makes a whole world of difference because its the final line of getting rid of stubborn contaminants before a polish/glaze/sealant/wax. The clay is what restores your paint to feel smooth-as-glass by removing embedded dirt, pollution, brake dust, water spot minerals, industrial fallout, and more. Check this video out, Johnny! th-cam.com/video/T8LyHX0eHl8/w-d-xo.html

I have the same problem!
good video but, you need more light shining on the vehicle it looks too dark.
mario v they did that on purpose
Because it's easier to hide imperfections in an area of darker lighting vs bright lights. Little bit of camera trickery to make you say "WOW".
Bright lights would show its not that shiney
It’s like during sunset your car looks clean when it’s really not.
The garage is to dark
John C they did that on purpose.
John C too*
You mean "too?"
But yes, I completely agree with you!! They probably do that to hide the imperfections.
....as sun is to light?? Is this a proverb I should know??
Well it's not a car show room, it's a garage!

Great job. The sticky clay bar you used, do you have to change it? Because the the bar picks up contamination & further scratch the car?
I believe you would have to flip it like what I have seen to other videos.
As a college student, I really don't have the money or time to give my car a thorough clean like you have. Would a clay bar alone, improve the surface of the vehicle?
Clay bars tend add some marring to paint as they pull out contaminants. You'd need to follow it up with a polish or compounding depending on the condition of the paint.

Hey Tarek, that's a great question. Although the Clay Bar and Clay Block achieve the same results, they do have some key differences. The Clay Bar is the original product, the Clay Block is synthetic clay bar that is a newer product. The Clay Block only has one "hardness", whereas the Clay Bar is much more versatile with four different levels of hardness. The Clay Bar must be thrown away when dropped on the floor, whereas the Clay Block can simply be washed and reused. You will also get much more uses out of the Clay Block when used properly. You can achieve pretty much the same results with either product, it just comes down to personal preference. Glad to have you part of the Chemical Guys family, Tarek, and stay tuned for new videos headed your way soon!
Nice video. The clear coat on my hood has turned into blotchy white patches. Would the products you use on this video help? I’ve been told there is nothing I can do about it, it must be repainted. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
Hey Rhonda, depends on how bad the clear coat is oxidized. If it isn't too far gone, then you might be able to polish it. However, if you took it to a professional they said there is nothing you can do about it, then there is nothing you can do about it. Once your clear coat is gone, it's gone and you will need a repaint. Remember for next time, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Use a premium CG wax or sealant to protect your car's fragile paint from the harsh elements to prevent damage on your newly painted hood in the future. Thanks for watching Rhonda, and make sure to subscribe to learn all the tricks to keeping your car looking its best for the longest!
how much does detailing like that cost? where are you located. I would love you guys to work in my crv
If you don’t have an electric polisher thing.. can you just use your hands to spread the bonder polish?
Hi Chadwick! Absolutely, spread your favorite glaze, sealant, and wax by hand or machine polisher.
Polishing compound works just as good
What's up Angelo, Polishing this car would've been extra work, and the scratches were very fine. By claying the car, we removed the imbedded contaminants from the surface of the paint, which made the surface smooth, and filled the minor imperfections with the leveling technology of the EZ Crème Glaze. EZ Crème's formula comes with built in gloss enhancers that brought out the Kia's deep blue paint. For this car, a light polish like V32 with a medium hex logic pad would've removed the mild scratches and swirls seen in the video.
4:02. Rocky be like "You dont pay me enough to do all that. Amo sit here and chill out"
HAHA! Thanks for watching!!
Do you recommend ceramic coating after the glaze application? I have a ceramic coating on my car but i have small swirls and scratches.
Hey!
You can apply a glaze over a ceramic coating and it will add shine as well add protection to the coating.
Chemical Guys thanks another question, can i seal the glaze with a layer of hydrosilex recharge after the glaze application?
Can I add wax or jetseal on top of that To make it last longer?
DarkshadowESE-yes u can
Looks easy , but no top coat ? Thank you
Hey there! Yes, after buffing off spent glaze apply your favorite sealant and/or wax for added shine and protection. - Happy detailing!!
Nice video. really liked it. One question here. i do not have a polisher. Can this be done by hand.
Hey! Yes, this procedure can be done by hand. Thanks for watching and happy detailing!
@@ChemicalGuys Thanks. i got it and the end result looks promising. Do we need any protectant over this or the glaze will act as one?
You don't need to spray the pad before using it?
Can you apply a wax/sealant after the glaze?
Hi! Yes that is correct. After a glaze we recommend applying a sealant then a wax in that order. Happy detailing!
Can you use the glaze with a rag instead if you don't have the machine you are using
Hey! Absolutely, use a clean microfiber towel or applicator pad to spread a thin coat of glaze.
Can u use and blue microfiber pad for the ez glaze?
After applying a glaze, can I top it with a silica sealant?
Hey Nadir, how's it going? Yes, that's a great way to protect your car after using a glaze. Thanks for watching, Nadir, and stay tuned for a new video dropping later today!
Google the term glaze you cant point glaze in a bottle well you can its called paint
this guy did an amazing job if that car would have been my car and I seen him rubbing his hands on the car while the car was dirty making more scratches I would have been pissed off remember guys when the car is dirty you cannot pass your hands on it you only create more scratches
Explosion Gamer well the car was never dirty... It was already washed. The reason it made those noises is because of all the contaminants in the paint as he explained.
My Dads new Honda Accord has been permaplated over possible bird dropping ghost stains will clay bar remove it ?? He wants me to fix cuz he doesn’t wanna take it in Thanks
Hi! Clay will remove any light contamination, if the bird dropping is very superficial, we recommend Slick Finish Cleaner Wax. It contains micro-abrasives that will break down the bird dropping stain. If the bird dropping has already etched into the surface of the paint, we recommend polishing it with a compound or polish. Try clay first, maybe that will take if off. Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Here is a link to Slick Finish Cleaner Wax.

Can the hydro slick ceramic coating be layered? I have a motorcycle and part of my weekend ritual is waxing the bike and I have a lot of fun doing it. Is using this product going to take away my weekend ritual?
Hey! Yes, that is correct. You may still apply your favorite glaze, sealant, and wax over HydroSlick. Thanks for watching and happy detailing!
Question, if all your car needs to be clayed do you use one or multiple clay bars??
One clay bar can treat several vehicles.
-CG Nick
give this guy a raise.
😃 Thanks so much for tuning in!!
How much pressure do you apply when using that buffer ??
Hey John! Using a little more pressure than the weight of your hand will provide the friction necessary for paint correction.
that lil bite of shine looks nice..just wish we could see more of it with more light or sun shine..all most had me..im looking for some good stuff 2 put on my 350 and 370z,s..they both r pearl white..looks awesome but looking for a gloss ,glass wet look..(lmfao)..im sure that sounds kinda stupid right...any was fellas..from reading the posts..you guys know a thing r 2......
How long it took you to finish up total body both with clay rubbing and polishing?
Thanks for watching the video. The entire process should take about an hour or so to complete. It could take longer if you're polishing by hand, using a polisher will decrease the application process of the glaze. Nick also uses a medium clay bar which takes longer to clay because of its size.
what should i use for my white car? the bumpers are white plastic and have some scratches what should i use to fix this? I also cant clean off the bugs and this black tar spots what should i use ? thanks.
Does it work on aircraft paint too?
Hi Howard, yes, Chemical Guys glazes work on all glossy painted surfaces on any vehicle! Don't forget to top it off with a sealant! Our favorite is JetSeal, which was actually developed for the aerospace industry. Thanks for watching, Howard, and stay tuned for more videos headed your way soon!

Chemical Guys
Great.. thanks....will do👍
Ok i should use clay bar. Then glaze then a wax. Or sealant then wax. Does the glaze wash off as i read below and the shine wont be as good ? What steps should i use to bring back the shine on my 2014 maxima. Shine is nice now but has minor swilrs
you guys always trick me into buying your products because of the videos, that kia wasnt "beat up" it had a very nice dark blue paint, i wanted my indigo blazer to look like that, true consumer review though your honeydew is the best soap i have ever put in my foam cannon, its been awhile since i used another brand but it seems to leave a nicer gloss after drying before wax
Noticeing alot of detailers just wipe off after claying..Why not wash it off??????
Hey!
You can rinse it off or wipe it off, either works! Just as long as the clay luber does not dry on the surface.
Thanks for watching!
@@ChemicalGuys k..i always wash cause i dont was anything left over from clay or lube..
Can you apply the ez glaze for hand or you need the machine ?
Absolutely! Glaze, sealant and wax can be applied by hand with a clean microfiber applicator pad.
How much do you charge for this service?
Hey there, thanks for watching. We don't publicly detail cars, we're detailing enthusiasts that sell products to empower people to detail their own cars.
I love this show but when you were claying you were going one way and when you took the left over stuff off you were going the opposite way? I know clay can leave marring but surely you want to minimise further in the reduction in leaving imperfections.
Keep up the good works guys.maybe you should clean that rx7 in the background
Ryan
Hi Ryan, thank you for watching our video, Nick wanted to demonstrate how to clay a vehicle and how to apply a glaze with a dual action polisher. The direction you clay in doesn't really matter as long as you move in straight lines, which is a key in any aspect of paint protection, washing, correction etc. If you use enough clay luber, you shouldn't be getting any marring, however, if you use the most aggressive clay bar, it will leave some kind of marring. We appreciate your comments, and we hope you continue to watch our videos. Nick actually detailed the Miata that you see on the lifts, he used a waterless wash to remove a blanket of dust that completely covered the car, it's been up there for longer than anyone can remember. I left you a link to the video below so you can check it out. Stay tuned for more great videos Ryan.

C.G. Alex -
I run a mobile detailing surface and have been looking for a solid glaze product. is there an ideal temperature range to apply this? we will be operating in as low as 40 degrees and during the summer, hit 95 degrees. hoping to see if this glaze is what we need!
Hi Mark, thanks for taking the time to reach out to us. All applications work best when used in the correct conditions, The best time to apply any type of protective, or cosmetic coating is when the vehicle's paint is cool to the touch. The best surface temperature range for applying compounds, polishes, waxes and paint sealants is in a range of 60 degrees to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Generally speaking, extreme temperatures, both cold and hot will make any product and/or procedure more difficult than working in a temperature range from 60 to 80 degree. The best conditions for using compounds, polishes, waxes and paint sealants on automotive paints would be in a cool place, out of direct sunlight, in a surface temperature range between 60 degrees and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, with comfortable to low humidity and with a light breeze to create the perfect conditions for detailing your car's finish.
Prime the pad? Not with this cream???
how long does that shine last .
The coat of glaze will last as long as the coat of protection you apply over it. We recommend applying a layer of sealant over the coat of glaze to make it last longer and shine better.
Awesome video. im just a little bit curious of, what if i do those methods and then use Glass Coating does it bond well with each other? i mean is it possible that i could maintain this kind of Gloss and Shine with a glass coating? Thank you for your response. 😁👊
Hey Aldrian, the glass coating should bond just fine to a nice clean surface. Always start by washing, then claying if you need to, polish the vehicle to remove imperfections, have the glass coating applied, wait about 24 hours, and apply a coating of glaze, wax, and a sealant. Here's some suggestions: Glozzworkz, Butter Wet Wax, or Extreme Top Coat, and Jet Seal. I think you'll love the results, my car looked amazing after using those.
Chemical Guys Thank you Team CG. i would love to try those tips from you guys and see how it works. God Bless and More power to you guys 👊😁
You're welcome bro, thanks for watching. Just out of curiosity, how much does a glass coating cost? If it's too expensive, try the Carbon Flex, the people who've used it swear by it. Stay tuned, more great content on the way!
Chemical Guys actually i have two types of glass coating in here which is sensha and kisho which were from my cousin in Japan.
The price seems kinda expensive but it worth for some of the car we've use with it.
What’s your recommendation for the best product to remove pine sap?
Hey there, thanks for stopping by. We could recommend a few different products such as The Bug and Tar Heavy Wash, Nonsense Diluted up to 15:1, or using the Butter Wet Wax. If the sap has been nesting on your paint for too long, it will stay in the paint. You'll want to dilute the solution 6:1 in a secondary spray bottle. Butter Wet Wax has some really powerful oils that can break down some really sticky substances. Last thing you could try is using a clay bar to rub the sap out, make sure to use clay luber so that you don't create any marring. You should definitely apply wax and sealant after you get the sap out so the sap cannot embed itself into the paint.

www.chemicalguys.com/Butter_Wet_Wax_16_oz_p/wac_201_16.htm
How about if it is like drips of pine sap that are in there pretty good. Will this still cut through it? Or something else?
If it's pretty deep in there, you may need to polish it out, you have to get these things out quickly or else they will stain the paint permanently. You could possibly try using some Iso Propyl alcohol and see if that removes it. Good luck buddy, hope it's not too severe.
WD40.
If you detail & work on cars/engines & di repairs, WD40 is the 100% go to cleaner & degreaser.
Dirty greasy oily hands. Lava soap or orange scrub/jojo don't work. Spray WD40 on your hands & rub then wash off dawn soap. Remove bugs tar asphalt gum birdshit, WD40.
Does a clay really make a big difference, or can you not just wash it out?
Hi Johnny,
The clay bar makes a whole world of difference because its the final line of getting rid of stubborn contaminants before a polish/glaze/sealant/wax. The clay is what restores your paint to feel smooth-as-glass by removing embedded dirt, pollution, brake dust, water spot minerals, industrial fallout, and more.

Hi Jean! EZ Creme glaze will fill in minor scratches and swirls. Happy detailing!

Chemical Guys ive checked but its not available in mauritius
That's a shame buddy, we would really want you to have access to our products. Sadly you're in a very remote part of the world, and it would be very difficult to get our products to you. Again we appreciate that you took the time to reach out to us.
So why would you pick the og clay bar when you have your clay mits and disks for the polisher? Just wondering if there are times when one type of claying is better than another.
thanks for the reply, makes more sense now.
