How do I remove something like this from my car. Yes I know it's dirty plan om cleaning later tonight. But I have a sticky string mess unknown what it is. How do I remove it
If you guys hate tags so much why do you keep manufacturing towels and applicators with tags on them? Wouldn't it be easier just to manufacture them without them?
Good to see the tried and tested method of glaze, seal, and wax. I have all of the fantastic products in the video and use them on my cavansite blue Mercedes.
Spectacular products. Bad bad bad sprayer. Can you all look into updating the sprayers please? Maybe it’s my own undoing. I like to keep some car cleaner items in the car, and the sprayers leak on your bottles when it’s hot out. My latest catastrophe being a scent explosion. You dang near smell my car from a block away 😂
Yeah they aren’t supposed to be left in heat like that , could mess up the gel/or liquid consistency of the product too even if it doesn’t explode 😂. anyway have no problems and keep them inside
If Butter Wet Wax cleans paint as well as apply wax, as you said in the video, does this cleaning agent then compromise the layers of product underneath it? How do these products adhere to the Hydroslick or other silicone base layer and stay on for a long period of time? It seems like the glaze would all wipe off of the Hydro product base layer.
So if the ceramic coating is good for 5 yrs , how often do you need the rest of the steps after that ( glaze, sealant, wax)? Do you need to use the clay again even after the ceramic coating? How often? And after 5 years, do you just repeat the whole process?
hi CG team. once i have done this, given the ceramic and sealant last a year, what do i do for maintenance? just washing with extreme body wash or hydrosuds, and then adding more wax for shine? Or can you do glaze/sealant/was anytime you want? Also in 12 months time, if you want to do it all again where do you start? do you use Clean Slate and start again?
Ok, big question. Because wax is being used last (before Hydro Speed) can I apply wax on top of the stack and top it with Hydro Speed? I’m thinking about buying Pete’s 53 paste wax. Thanks guys! My ride looks awesome! Love the products. 😁
Many thanks for the detailed explanation, here i was thinking the Ceramic Coat was the silver bullet that fixed everything. Can your product (with the exception of HydroCharge) be used with other brand of Ceramic coating??
I’m just confused why you put a sealant on top of a hybrid glaze/ sealant. Why not use Jet Seal on top of a dedicated glaze like Mirror Wet Finish? I would assume Black Light is a hybrid so it could be used as a two-in-one step instead. Thanks!!
Hey guys I just did a carbon force ceramic coating two days ago. Should I do this process and when should I start? Or do you recommend another product?or should I skip some products?
Question, let’s say I do this whole process on Saturday, the next following Saturday, the only thing necessary for me to do is wash and dry my car? Do I need to re-apply any protection after it’s dry?
Yeahp that's correct jet seal gets dry to apply another coat or Wax un about 20 minutes later. Now to get 12 months of protection as a layer on the Paint you need at least 12 HRS away from the elements, to ve honest I recomend 18 to 24 HRS away.
@@osheaelnegrojackson3105 if you put Wax first, when the Wax felt off you lost the protection. Waxes last a Max of 2 to 3 months, it depends on the Wax. If you put it under the sealant, theres no chance to last. First the sealant then the Wax.
You guys do excellent tutorial videos, thank you but I have a question for, you always do videos on fairly new cars with good paint job , why not show with older cars, it's more challenging. Thank you
I’m not understanding why you would put the ceramic coat on first? It is advertised as having a good water beading properties right? Wouldn’t putting three more coats of other product on top of the ceramic affect the water beading properties?
Hey going through this process today for my Ram, just so im clear, there is no issue putting butter wet wax on right after buffing off jet seal? Planning to travel for a week so it will sit in a garage for 7 days after completion but want to make sure putting wax right on aftee sealant doesnt compromise the sealent
I am going to be detailing a 2018 civic hatchback. After blacklight do I have to use the jet seal? Can I go straight to the butter wax? Unfortunately I have to do this outside I have no indoor space to do this
You mentioned microfiber wash but I have a question about wash mitts and microfiber towels. When should we get new ones? I keep mine really clean but I know I need to eventually replace them. I just don’t know when. Thanks.

Have to ask that I would love to know how to maintain it or how to wash my car after 2 weeks applying these products. Just a simpel rinse of or snow foam and everything. And of so whats next??
Hey! Check out Extreme Body Wash and Wax to enhance and add a fine layer of wax with every wash. www.chemicalguys.com/extreme-body-wash-wax/CWS20716.html
Hi there! Ceramic will provide the most durable layer of protection however it is perfectly fine to use your favorite glaze, sealant and/or wax to protect the finish and add shine.
Detailing my car this upcoming weekend! '07 Audi A4 - Phantom black . Not a show car, but I bet you haven't seen an '07 A4 in better condition than mine🤩 Great video as always.
Ik this video is old, not new by any means. But putting glazes, sealants and waxes on top of ceramic coats clogs the coating itself. Yes you could layer them up but in hindsight you make the coating useless by clogging the pores of the coating. If you do a glaze, sealant and then wax. Cool. But not layering on top of the coating
Hi there! Ceramic will provide the most durable form of protection however you can still achieve a brilliant shine that reject harsh elements with coats of sealant and/or wax.
Can I use the Hydroslick Ceramic Hyperwax in place of the butter wet wax? Also, to keep it up to par when washing should I use Hydroglide or Hydrospeed?
Can I use black light, sealent and butter wax after hydro charge and hydro silck Or can use only butter wax after hydrocharge and hydroSilck application
I have seen some reviews of blacklight lately as it got me interested but what pulled me off was that it contain micro abrasives. This is what the reviews say. It contain abrasives that fill swirls. Is it true?
@@ChemicalGuys i have trie the hydroslick but I think the product is either damaged or from the bad batch. As many people are complaining my bottle of Hydroslick is not like a liquid paste as you show them in the videos, it is like dried out jello and hard to apply. After applying it i get a very strong smell of petroleum and i see some vapors (like smoke) coming out.
I thought it was hydro charge spray than hydro slick ceramic paste? Then do you use black light , jet seal and butter wax? And then at the end do you use that other ceramic coating that comes in a small bottle?
Whoa - this means my car is held hostage for two whole days to complete the entire process. Wash, dry, clay bar, polish, all four products with cure time. Not sure how many people can go nowhere for two whole days.
No. But what does that have to do with the original post? The car is still hoatage for two entire days without driving it anywhere. It's not realistic for the vast majority.
@LightofDeneb in an instance like that you would follow gritt's schedule. Wash, clay, polish and glaze/seal. Then come back the next week and ceramic or wax.

Used butter wet wax on my durango.... that thing is clean 🤣🔥
Gotta love Butter Wet Wax!
I love that stuff.
So jet seal has to cure for 12 hours but can you aply the banana wax right away before the 12 hour cure time ?
So how long .... if you do all these steps will this protection last?
Is the jet seal necessary if I’m using blacklight which has sealant in it?
@CG. 1Wash 2clay bar 3compound 4polish then use the other four items after I'm done polishing.

Any recommendations for ppl with no access to a garage, i can only detail in open air what products should i skip or use instead.
Ok, big question.
Because wax is being used last (before Hydro Speed) can I apply wax on top of the stack and top it with Hydro Speed?
I’m thinking about buying Pete’s 53 paste wax.
Thanks guys!

Love the products. 😁
If I just got a step 1 paint correction done and ceramic coating can I still apply jet sealant to my car?
Many thanks for the detailed explanation, here i was thinking the Ceramic Coat was the silver bullet that fixed everything.

Do you recommend this regimen on a new car just purchased?
Absolutely!
When applying White Light with a polisher, can you use a black pad or best to use a blue pad?
Hey David! Absolutely, it is perfectly fine to use a Black Hex-Logic Pad to apply White Light.

Can the wax be applied staraigh after jet seal or should I wait 12 hours ?
Hey! Allow at least 30 minutes before applying Butter Wet Wax.
The days of a simple wash n wax are long gone. Looks like I need a few more CGs products. Thanks for this one, was very helpful. 👍🏼

how often should I repeat these protection steps, and should I polish?
Why do you suggest to use the short pile of the microfiber cloth to clean the excess product? Why not the long pile?
I am going to be detailing a 2018 civic hatchback. After blacklight do I have to use the jet seal? Can I go straight to the butter wax? Unfortunately I have to do this outside I have no indoor space to do this
What did you end up doing and how did it go??
You mentioned microfiber wash but I have a question about wash mitts and microfiber towels. When should we get new ones? I keep mine really clean but I know I need to eventually replace them. I just don’t know when. Thanks.
Hi Anthony! Once the microfiber begins to feel rough or non longer absorbent it should be replaced.
The shine do look good but how long approximately will the protection last with all these products on?
My vehicle doesn’t fit in my garage and my driveway has no shade… how do I clean/maintain it?
What is the difference between the HD polish and jet seal? Can you please elaborate?

Happy detailing!!
Okay so after the jet seal sits for 12 hrs do you recommend to wash it with a ph soap before applying the butter wet wax the following day ?
I don’t care what the haters say mane “chemical guys product are diluted” I AM a chemical guy💯
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!!
Honest Question: Instead of butter wet wax, why not use Hydro slick instead???
Since hydroslick is a ceramic infused wax, it’d be best to use that layered directly on top of the hydrocharge.
What if you can't let it sit for 12 hours? What would happen if you waited a couple of hours and then go to the Butter Wet Wax?
Hi! I can do sealant and after hydro slick?
Or I have to do sealant and wax?
And I can do sealant, wax, hydro slick!?
What is the sequence?
I just got a black type R. After a light polishing, can I use hydroslick than the black light sealant or is another order better to care for the care?

Can you use blacklight then hydro charge?
What if you have a brand new car? Can I skip the glaze and go straight to the sealant?
Hello! Yes, that is perfectly fine.
Is it ok to have my vehicle parked outside while hydro charge is curing?
So if doing the hydrocharge would you use hydroslick as the glaze step on the flowchart or glaze after hydroslick?
Hi there! HydroCharge can be layered with HydroSlick and your favorite glaze as well as sealant and wax.
Here can I use hydroslick ceramic wax in place of butter wax?
is there an optimal temperature to detail a vehicle?
Very helpful video. I just purchased a 2024 Cadillac XT4 Black metallic, and black interior. I was looking to correct the paint and ceramic coat it.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
As a owner of a Hyundai with this paint. Did you use the fine clay or OG?
Hey! Use a Light Clay Bar for new or routinely detailed vehicles of an OG for slightly more contaminated vehicles.
I have a bottle of black light, but it’s been sitting in my garage for about four years. Is it still good to use?
Hi there! Our products have a shelf-life of several years. Shake the product and check for separation before use.
When you clay then use a machine to cut and polish is it 100%necessary to use a ceramic? Or is it reasonable to just glaze and wax? Or even just wax?
Hi there! Ceramic will provide the most durable layer of protection however it is perfectly fine to use your favorite glaze, sealant and/or wax to protect the finish and add shine.
@@ChemicalGuys Thank you guys!
How long do you have to wait to apply Hydro Slick Wax after applying JetSeal
Hi there! Start by applying HydroSlick and allow about three hours before applying JetSeal.
@@ChemicalGuys can I apply the jetseal by hand or better to use a machine ?
Say if i wanted to use slick finish cleaner wax, would it still be a final step since even though it has micro abrasives? Any suggestions help.

Do you have or recommend products for the marine industry. I am specifically interested in detailing my outboard motor
Hi there! Yes, these products can be used for marine applications.
What if you can’t keep your vehicle out of the elements over night I should just skip jet seal?
Hi Carlos! Absolutely, JetSeal is a great option.
Do you have to wait 12 hours after Jet Seal to use the butter wax?
Hey! Allowed at least 30 minutes before applying Butter Wet Wax.

Definitely Black Light.
Gotta love Black Light!!
I would like to know, what's just for protection only?
Hi there! Ceramic will provide the most durable form of protection however you can still achieve a brilliant shine that reject harsh elements with coats of sealant and/or wax.
So I have a black tesla, i bought black light, jet seal and hydro slick. Can I apply them all? If yes, in what order should I apply them?
Hey! Yes, apply HydroSlick to a bare surface then it can be layered with JetSeal and then Black Light.
@@ChemicalGuys thank you! I was thinking probably the otherway. Like black light -> jet seal -> then hydroslick. Thank you for the answer
@@ChemicalGuysI thought glaze had to be applied before sealant?
Can I use the Hydroslick Ceramic Hyperwax in place of the butter wet wax? Also, to keep it up to par when washing should I use Hydroglide or Hydrospeed?
Hi there! HydroSlick can be used as a standalone barrier of protection. Use HydroSuds and HydroSpeed to maintain your ceramic.
Can I use black light, sealent and butter wax after hydro charge and hydro silck
Or can use only butter wax after hydrocharge and hydroSilck application
You can layer glaze, sealant and wax on top of Charge and Slick.

Do you need to do an ispropl wipe down between products?
Hi Mary! Use Wipe Out after polishing before applying coatings. It is not necessary to use in between layering coatings.
If something is going to cause a scratch wouldn't it scratch either way it'd just be long straight scratches instead of swirls
How good is using jet seal after polish, as a stand alone product?
Nothing is necessary after jet seal unless you want it to look deep and wet.
Hi Austin! It is perfectly fine to use JetSeal as a standalone barrier of protection.
