Welcome to the Detail Garage.
As I mentioned before we have this black Escalade in the shop.
We prepped it by washing it and now we're going to clay it to get it ready for polishing.
If you come closer you can see this car has a lot of spider webs, hair line scratches
and swirls and the paint is really rough.
Since this car is black it is going to show all those imperfections, scratches and swirls
so we want to get it cleaned up and looking right.
I got my buddy Gerry here and he's going to help me polish because it is about one-thirty
right now and the owner is picking this up at five so we need to hustle.
We're going to start by claying it and then polish it.
Starting off with the clay, we are using the Cloy Block because this will save us a lot
of time and effort since this is a huge truck and doing this with a Clay Bar will take a
long time.
With the Clay Block we'll cover a lot more area while still picking up all the embedded
contaminants and save us time.
So it works in the traditional sense of any clay, lubricate the surface and work back
and forth in linear motions.
No circles because if you pick up any kind of contamination it will create a swirl and
as I keep mentioning this is something that is a lot easier to see and a lot harder to remove.
So if you're new to claying, what you're doing is actually pulling out things that are embedded
in the paint.
As you start it is going to sound rough or drag but as you pull stuff out it will make
the paint feel really smooth and slick which is when you move on.
Now that we're done claying the surface it is really smooth and you can't hear that rough
sound and my hand glides across nicely.
It is time for the polishing steps.
Over here I have my TORQ 22D, we're going with the bigger machine because this is a
bigger vehicle, it has a 21 mm throw so it'll cover more surface area which saves us time
and effort.
Also we want to try and do a one step polish with the V36 and an Orange Quantum Pad.
These both tend to work pretty well together.
This is a final micro abrasive polish that will take down oxidation, scratches, swirls
and water spots without having to follow it with a second polish.
I'm only going to apply about five dime sized drops of the V36.
I've already shaken up the product which mixes all the chemicals and abrasives together.
Before we start polishing we will spray it with Pad Conditioner which helps reduce friction
and reduces the chance of marring.
The very first thing you want to do is blotch out the product over the surface that you'll
be polishing.
Since I'm only going to do half of the hood I'm only going to blotch out a small section.
On the lowest speed setting or speed setting one we're going to spread it out and bump
it up to the highest speed setting which is what we polish at.
I've just finished polishing this side of the hood so I'll take the tape off so we can
see the difference.
Just using some regular quick detail spray, this is P40 Quck Detailer, I'll wipe off the
excess residue that the tape left.
Just by using the V36 we've gotten amazing results.
It has taken care of the water spots, oxidation and most of the scratches and swirls on this
half of the hood.
Gerry and I are going to finish off the rest of the vehicle and we'll catch up with you
guys in just a minute.
Alright guys Gerry and I just finished polishing off the Escalade and right now it is about
four o' clock which gives us enough time to glaze it and wax it.
So come back in here next time, tune in to the Detail Garage where we wax it and get
it looking right.
