What's up guys welcome back to the Detail Garage, we're glad you could join us.
We've still got this Honda Civic in the shop and as you can see we are going to be doing
a 50/50 comparison between the clean, clayed and polished side against the dirty, not clayed
and non polished side.
There is tons of grime and debris.
As we washed it we noticed the paint was kinda dead, it has a lot of swirls.
Although it hides a lot it still has the same texture paint as any other color so it
is not like it defends against scratches and swirls any better it is only hiding them.
So we're going to show you how to remove them to revive the paintwork.
Over here I have a TORQ 22D set up with an Orange Hex-Logic Pad and I'll be using VSS.
This is going to take down a very fine layer of the clear coat to reveal fresh paint.
Using an Orange Pad is going to break down the VSS so we can work the abrasives into
a finishing polish.
To start off shake up the bottle and then apply five dime sized drops to the pad.
Lets start on a small section on the hood to control the area that we are working on
this way we get the best shine and the best results.
After applying five dime size drops to the pad I'm going to spray Pad Conditioner to
lubricate the pad and the compound so neither go dry which can lead to marring.
This will lubricate it to reduce friction and give us the perfect shine.
Before we start polishing I want to mention that in our previous video we washed and clayed
this half of the car, so now it is super slick.
All the impurities have been pulled out of the paint this way it doesn't create pig tails
or micro swirls as we polish.
As you can see I've already taped off half of the car to show you the difference and
the plastic and rubber areas to prevent staining.
I'll blotch it out and now on the lowest speed setting I'll spread this in the section I'll
be working and when we are ready to polish I can bump it up to the highest speed setting.
Once your polish has gone clear that is when you know it is time to buff it off.
Lets take a clean microfiber towel and wipe away the excess.
So with this clean microfiber towel I'll take away the excess.
Buffing in straight lines to prevent installing swirls in our freshly polished paint.
A majority of the imperfections have been removed to reveal a fresh paint job.
Now we are going to repeat this process to the rest of the vehicle and then we need to
seal it because now that we've polished it we've opened up all the pores of the paint
which takes no time for contamination to clog and dull out the finish.
As you guys can tell this paint looks amazing.
A total transformation from how it looked earlier.
By polishing we have removed oxidation and damaged paint to showcase that fresh white
paint.
Now we are going to seal it using JetSeal.
This is going to protect the paint for up to 12 months against harsh elements, UV rays
and anything that can harm the clear coat.
I'll be using the 22D again with a Black Finishing Pad.
The soft pad spreads a fine coat which buffs off easy and uses less product.
Again, shake the bottle and apply five dots to the pad.
So again blotch it out and on the lowest speed setting we'll spread this out.
JetSeal only takes about twenty minutes to cure to the surface so after giving it a sufficient
amount of time to bond I'll take a Black Happy Ending Towel and start buffing it off.
The thin layer is hard to see on white paint but it comes off super easy.
What you are looking for is a slight haze but that fine coat uses less product which
saves time and money.
