I was there today !!!!! made the 4 hour trip haha ... was way worth it...the dude polishing the red car inside was very helpful and took time to talk with me , and I appreciate it. I will be back !!!!
Tigre stripes actually occurs in the paint process. Not detailing. It’s when you apply light colors specifically silvers or candy coats using inconsistent movement and overlay causing light and dark stripes like a tiger.
Hey! Very true, tiger stripes can be caused when paint is laid down without covering the last pass however it can also occur during the paint correction process when you don't cover at least fifty percent of the last pass for uniform polishing.
Hey! We recommend HydroCharge, it is the easy-to-use SiO2 ceramic spray coating that delivers a brilliant high-gloss candy shine, extreme hydrophobic properties, and the durable protection of a ceramic coating with the ease of use and speed application of a spray. www.chemicalguys.com/hydrocharge-high-gloss-hydrophobic-sio2-ceramic-spray-coating/WAC23016.html
How often should i glaze my car if i have white pearl paint? Or how long does a glaze last? Is it better to use a glaze then a sealant or a glaze then a wax?
Hi Danny! Glaze will last a few months and can be reapplied as often as desired. You can apply sealant and wax on top of glaze for longevity and gloss.
Great videos and products! They have been a great help. Do you have a video on how to apply wax/polish old school by hand for those of use that don’t have a electric buffer yet?
Hi Noe! I highly recommend starting with a dual-action polisher such as the TORQ 10FX to safely polish as well as coat your vehicle. Check out this kit> www.chemicalguys.com/torq-10fx-random-orbital-polisher-kit-10-items/BUF_501X.html - CG Nick
Hi guys! I bought Black Light sealant 6 years ago and didn't finish it yet. I have a question --- is it still has its improvements or I should remove it to a new one? Very good product! Thanks.
Hi there! Black Light Glaze has a shelf life of several years as long as it is stored in cool, dry area out of direct sunlight. If the product isn't separated or clotted it is okay to use. - CG Nick
I really appreciate this video. Is there another video where it goes in depth of how to use the polisher for cutting process? I just bought the 10FX and I’m nervous using a polisher on my new black charger R/T. Sadly it has micro scratches everywhere from shipment I’m assuming.
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching. The TORQ 10FX is a great machine to start with. Check out this video for more tips and tricks. - CG Nick th-cam.com/video/fORRVczkY24/w-d-xo.html
Great video again guys. These videos help me out so much!! Can we have an Al Pacino Scarface style video please. And you could possibly shoot Jimbo's detailing for constantly putting your products down!! I love your products!! Keep up the great work guys!! 👍👌👏
I’m in the process of applying a ceramic coating to my new truck. After I correct the micro scratches and swirls and wipe off the polish, do I apply a sealant and/or wax before applying the ceramic coating or do I just apply the coating after correcting the paint?
Hey Lee! Yes, the Black Hex-Logic Pad was reused for this video. It is perfectly fine to use the same pad for applying glaze, sealant and wax. - CG Nick
Yikes yikes, I felt like Nick when you turned up the DA. Lol The end had me dying, “I want cherry wet wax” I can relate because my local Detail garage never ever has cherry wax, and my car is red 😖
Pad conditioner and cleaner is finally coming to my detail garage in Houston! I always miss it and it’s sold out! It will be here tomorrow, but guess what? So will the hurricane 😖
When layering products, would you put a glaze on before a product like hydroslick? And would it still be worth putting a layer of wax on top of the hydroslick or would that affect it's hydrophobic properties?
Hi there! Start by applying HydroSlick to bare paint and then you can add your favorite glaze, sealant and wax for added shine and protection. - CG Nick
I'm very scared of polishers . I rather see u do it, maybe i'll learn something about this polishers. Thanks for the video. Maybe i'll get the hang of it. GOD BLESS👍👍👍
Hey! The Hex-Logic Quantum Pads are designed to reduce excess heat which is why they have a ventilation hole in the center. Black Light Glaze with a Black Hex-Logic Pad will work well for grey metallic paintwork. - CG Nick
This vodeo was great for a beginner like me. I have the torq on my list of polishers. Does anyone have an opinion on what's better, the Torqx, or Torq 10fx?
Hey Maria! Check out White Light Glaze to enhance a bright finish. - CG Nick www.chemicalguys.com/white-light-hybrid-glaze-and-sealant/white-light-glaze.html
Chemical Guys what is the difference between wet mirror finish and white light glaze? Also can you use a ultra fine foam pad? How often would you you reload ur pad for a 4x4? Maybe 6 times?
@@mariaequihua8501 White Light is designed for white and other light colored paintwork, Wet Mirror Finish will work as well but White Light will add that deep shine to white paint. It's fine to use soft finishing foam pad and it spreads thin so a little bit goes a long way. - CG Nick
@@ChemicalGuys thanks, I've been to the la habra location before. Just havnt been to the gardena location. Trying to see if you guys can help with a really scratched driver side mirror
Hi Brandy! Avoid build up by spread most of the product over flat panels and then quickly passing over gaps or apply by hand in these areas for more control.
Hi Pete! For best results we recommend to apply ceramic before adding glaze. Glaze will last about three months on the surface but it can be reapplied as often as desired.
Question love the videos and the product I have from.. ok newbie here.. I did compound and polish but never clay bared. If I go back and clay bar do I need to repolish and then sealant and wax? I have a black car by the way..
Hey Tommy! It is best to thoroughly clay the vehicle before polishing. However it is not necessary to clay the vehicle immediately after it has been polished.
I am a bit confused by the timing of applying these products. Is it.. apply hydrocharge.. wait 3 hours... apply Hydroslick.. wait 3 hours... apply jet seal and then wax?
Hi Stephen! You got it - although I personally did this, and LOVE the water beading it's produced (😍) it's a bit overkill. The order is correct if you do want to do the same, however you're still in great shape if you choose one or the other (HydroCharge OR HydroSlick) wait the 3 hours, and then apply your favorite wax. Make sure you are wiping the Hydro Products off after 30s-2min though, and THEN wait the 3 hours. You don't want to simply apply and wait! - CG Jason
@@ChemicalGuys Perfect answer! I was concerned because I have to do this outside so waiting that long runs the chance of dust and such getting back on the car after the wash and the hydrocharge. Is jet seal needed after hydrocharge or should it be.. hydrocharge.. 3 hours then wax? Thanks again
@@stephent9990 I know this is an old post, but for anyone else interested…Jet seal isn’t “needed”…it just helps to lock in/seal the ceramic and/or any corrective work you may have done thereby adding extra protection and longevity to the paint and any applied products under the sealant.
Hey! We recommend Jetseal and Butter Wet Wax. Chemical Guys Jetseal creates a strong shield against water spots, contamination, road grime, and UV sunlight. Innovative UV protection technology helps reject harmful solar rays and protect paintwork against fading and discoloration. Butter Wet Wax is a smooth, liquid creme wax that melts into the paint like butter for easy on/off application to give you the deepest, wettest look imaginable in a matter of minutes. www.chemicalguys.com/butter-wet-wax-warm-and-deep-carnauba-shine/butter-wet-wax.html www.chemicalguys.com/jetseal-durable-sealant-and-paint-protectant/jetseal-sealant.html

Can you ceramic coat on top of glaze? And will glaze wear off and show scratches while ceramic coated in time? Just curious because glaze is a filler.
