What's up guys welcome back to the Detail Garage.
So in our previous video we brought this Mustang in here because it has been raining outside
and we didn't want it to create water spots on this paintwork.
We used EcoSmart to encapsulate all the dirt and debris as well as the water droplets and
gently wipe it off the surface so we don't scratch the surface.
As we were washing we could tell that the paint was pretty rough.
That's just tons of stuff that is stuck in the paintwork from the pores opening up and
letting all kinds of contaminants get stuck in there and that is what gives it that rough
feel and also makes it harder for new glazes, sealants and waxes to bond to the surface.
So, we're going to clay it today to get it ready for any polish job or if it is going
to be glazed,sealed or waxed this way it'll bond better giving it a better look overall.
Here at Chemical Guys we offer four different kinds of clay bars.
We have the Light Clay Bar which is for your newer cars or regularly clayed cars, an OG
Clay Bar which is for the daily driven such as this one that has some impurities stuck
in the paint.
The Medium Clay Bar which is for a little more neglected or more contaminated paint
and a Heavy Clay Bar for paint that has stains or etching and thick contamination.
I've chosen to go with the Original Clay Bar, this is going to help me get all the impurities
out of the paintwork to restore that ultra slick feeling.
I've already taken a small piece and kneaded it into a paddy.
You don't want to use the whole bar at once because if you do drop this you have to throw
it away.
What you want to do is take a small section and form it into a disc that covers two or
three fingers and what I do is I'll spray my hand, the disc and the area that you''ll
be starting on.
That'll keep it from sticking to you as well as the surface you are claying.
Just work back and forth in straight and even strokes giving a decent amount of pressure.
Every so often giving it a mist of lubrication to prevent marring.
As you start off it'll feel kind of rough or it will drag but as you pull impurities
out of the paintwork it will become smoother and quieter which is how you know when it
is time to move on.
So after the paintwork feels pretty smooth and the clay bar starts to easily glide across.
You can see this brownish run off, that is actually all the junk that is coming out of
the paintwork, this when you take your clean microfiber towel and wipe away the excess.
By wiping away the residues you can check your work.
Once it is nice and dry you can run your hand against the paint and it will have completely
different sound and feel after you get all the impurities out of the paint.
Real quickly I want to show you guys the difference between the clayed side and the non clayed
side.
So over here this is where I was working, super quiet and really smooth.
Then you come down here and you can hear all the embedded contaminants and grime that is
trapped in the pores of the paint but the clay is going to remove all that to give it
a slick finish.
One thing I forgot to mention is you can clay headlights, glass and even rims to remove
impurities that can either embed the surface and degrade the finish or it takes away from
the overall clarity of glass.
Also if you have painted wheels it will help add more of a glossy finish.
So I'll repeat the same process over the entire vehicle to get the whole car looking right.
Alright guys I just finished clay barring this Mustang to give it that super slick feeling.
Here we have four different types of clay bars.
We have the Light, the Original, the Medium and the Heavy.
I chose to go with the Original because this car has some embedded contaminants but it's
not that bad where we need something more aggressive.
So if you guys want to learn more about these products check them out on our website ChemicalGuys.com.
If you like this car or this video be sure to give it a thumbs up and we'll see you guys
next time right here in the Detail Garage.
I'm going to do the whole video as Randy Macho Man Savage.
What's up brother, welcome back to the Detail Garage.
Today we've got this Mustang and its got all kinds of bad ... stuck in the paint!
