- What's up everybody, welcome to
Chemical Guys Detail Garage. It's been raining
here a lot lately in California so I thought today
would be a good time to give you guys a quick tip
on how to repel water and also prevent any kind
of water spots on your vehicle.
So, we've got this nearly brand new white Porsche
911 Carrera and we've already washed it,
we've given it a light clay bar treatment
and polished a couple areas
but as you can see it's got this beautiful, nice
and reflective surface and we want to preserve that
and protect it which is why we're going to apply
a coat of Jet Seal.
But like any kind of coating, it takes a lot of prep work
such as your wash process, it has to be decontaminated
and the reason for that is because you don't want to lock
any impurities or any junk in the pores of the paint
because this will last up to twelve months and that means
you're locking in any kind of water spots, or anything
that's on the surface that could be stuck in the pores
like fallout or any kind of rough spots, so this is
going to last longer if you remove all the impurities
and if you need to polish the car, now would be the time
to do it because if you polish after you put
your coating on, it's going to remove that so it's just
to get all of that out of the way before you put
your sealant on or your waxes on or a glaze, which is an
optional step, which mask any minor imperfections.
But, as you can see we've got this nice, reflective,
beautiful bright white finish and now we're going to
protect it using some Jet Seal
and all you have to do is simply shake it up and you can
apply this by machine or by hand.
But since this car is relatively new and it's got a lot
of kind of contours and different shades, we're gonna
use a microfiber hand applicator just so we're coating
the entire surface.
Now we'll supply a couple of lines to our applicator
and what's great is you can apply this to any color vehicle,
you can apply to anything that's painted, shiny or clear.
So you can put it on your glass, your headlights, any kind
of trim or bumpers that are painted.
And simply all you have to do is apply it and let it bond
for about fifteen to twenty minutes depending on the
temperature or the humidity in the room.
Like I said, it's been raining a lot lately here, so
it's a little cooler so this probably takes about twenty
minutes to actually bond but after that you just take
your favorite clean microfiber towel
and buff off any excess.
So what I like to do is I'll blotch it out and then spread
it back and forth in one direction and then using a
cross hatching pattern I'll come back just to make
sure that I'm evening out any high spots and I'm also
covering every inch of the vehicle. This way, one
you're gonna get complete coverage and also you're
locking in that beautiful shine.
So as I mentioned you can also apply it to your
headlights, this is a great practice to prevent any
kind of UV rays from damaging the sensitive plastics
of your headlights, giving you that cloudy look.
And, as you can see just a little bit goes a long way
so you don't need a very heavy coat
and the reason for this is because the thinner coat
is going to wipe off easier which saves you time, saves
you effort, more importantly it's saving you guys some
money. But also, if you think about it, only that initial
layer is what's going to be bonding to the surface, so
unfortunately, everything else is being wasted
and wiped away. So, it doesn't matter if you put a heavy
coat on there, it's simply wasting the product
but a nice, thin coat, it works itself into the pores
of the paint giving itself a long-lasting shine
and also you're saving yourself some effort and time
also some money.
So I'm gonna work my way around the rest of the vehicle
this only takes about 15 minutes to bond, like
I said it's a little bit cooler so it's probably going
to take fifteen to twenty minutes.
We'll wipe it off with our favorite microfiber towel
and then we'll unveil that shine.
