- Welcome to Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today we're going over The Complete Car Care Kit
and this is going to be great for detailing
any kind of car inside and out as well from top to bottom.
Starting with the wash process, you have Mr. Pink,
which is great for gentle air moving any kind of
abrasive particles off of the surface while enhancing gloss.
And it also lays on a thick layer of suds
which helped to lubricate the surface,
again preventing kind of scratches and swirls.
And then you want to also clean your wheels
using signature series wheel cleaner,
which again is great for any kind of wheel surface,
whether you have OEM Chrome painted surfaces.
It gently removes all kind of brake dust,
road grime without scratching the finish.
And then working your way around the vehicle,
you have ways of further decontaminating the paint work
using a OG Clay Bar.
This is great for your daily driven vehicles
that haven't been detailed in a couple of years
or that have that rough feeling to the paint work.
This extracts embedded contaminants from the paint work,
to give you that super slick finish
and also preps the surface for the next step
whether it's going to be polishing
or any kind of coatings.
Now to remove those scratches and swirls in one step,
we have VSS which is a scratch a swirl remover,
and this can be used with your machine polisher
to remove those scratches and swirls and refine that finish
for ultimate gloss.
And then you can lock in that shine using Butter Wet Wax
which helps to repel any kind of harmful UV rays
while also enhancing shine.
Maintain gloss in between your car washes by using
Speed Wipe, which is a quick detail spray that gently moves
into kind of light dust, water spots, bird droppings
or anything else that lands on the surface,
while also enhancing gloss
and also magnifying your metallic flake.
Now protect your exterior and interior plastics vinyl
and rubber using Silk Shine,
which is a water-based dressing that helps to
give you a deeper gloss, but more importantly
it's going to be repelling those harmful UV rays,
while also making your exterior plastics last
as long as possible.
To begin, we're going to be working on the dirtiest area
of the vehicle which is going to be the wheels.
And the reason for this is because as you drive,
not only are you collecting road grime
as well as anything that's on the road itself
but you're also getting brake dust from your vehicle
and that accumulates on the face of the wheel,
and also if that's left on the surface
it'll start to deteriorate the finish of your painting
and chrome wheels, and also looks really nasty.
So to begin, we're going to rinse it down
and knock down the heavier stuff.
And now utilizing our Signature Series Wheel Cleaner,
we're just going to spray the surface of the wheel
and the tire.
And this is great for removing old dressings, grease, tar,
brake dust and again anything you accumulate as you drive.
And we're also going to be using one of my favorite brushes
which is the Green Flag Tip Brush,
the reason being because this is super soft
so it doesn't scratch any kind of wheel finish.
It just helps to gently agitate the cleaner
and carries off anything from the wheel surface.
At least we have a freshly detailed wheel.
Really easy to use.
Start from the top and working your way down,
you can use a clockwise motion or counterclockwise motion.
Cleaning the spokes towards the face of the wheel.
The foam really helps to lift off
anything that's on the surface, again the brake dust,
any kind of grime.
And like I said, you can also use it to remove any kind
of dressing from the tire itself.
Start from the top again, we'll work our way around.
Playing with any kind of grease or dressing from the tire
will not only make it look better but
this is going to make it easier for new dressings
to bond to the surface,
and help it look it's best for as long as possible.
After completing the wheel cleaning process,
we're moving onto the body of the vehicle.
We're going to start by rinsing it down to again knock down
the heavier stuff that clings to the surface
and also is going to prevent any kind of further scratches
and swirls.
But also we're going to lubricate it with Mr. pink
which again is great for laying down a fine blanket
of suds that help to lift off any abrasive particles.
So again, we're not scratching that surface, but it's also
enhancing some shine as well as your metallic flake.
So we also have two buckets set up here with the dirt trap
in each, and this is going to further prevent any kind
of grime from the vehicle returning back to the surface
and potentially scratching it.
And we're going to add just a little bit of soap
to our wash bucket,
as well as to our foam gun.
The torque foam blaster is great for laying
down a fine blanket of suds that again
helps to lubricate our wash mitts
so that we're not scratching the surface.
And also cuts down on the wash time
because it helps to let the soap dwell on the surface,
give you the best cleaning power possible.
Just reattach the top and gently stir the solution together.
This way, as we pull on the trigger,
it's going to properly air it creating
that fine blanket of suds.
And to pair with this we're using
our chenille microfiber wash mitt.
Which traps not only foam, but it also encapsulates the dirt
and grime from the vehicle inside of the noodles here
and it carries it off of the surface,
for a scratch free finish.
So let's get started.
Now after washing and drying the vehicle
we were able to thoroughly inspect the paint work
and we can tell that it's got a light layer
of contamination that are stuck in the pores of the paint.
It gives it a rough look as well as a rough feel
which is why we're going to be using our OG Clay Bar
to extract any of the embedded contaminants.
And simply spray a lubricant onto the surface
as well as the clay bar.
And we've already torn off a small piece
and knead it into a patty,
because we want to have control and also maneuverability.
So about three fingers worth is all you need.
We're going to start working back and forth.
But the clay bar is absorbing and extracting the fallout,
water spots, anything that lands on the surface
and basically adheres to it.
And this is a necessary step whether you're going to be
polishing in the vehicle or moving on to a ceramic coating
or combination of glaze ceiling or wax.
This way it has the best bond or during
the polishing process it's not causing any micro marring
or pig tailing.
It's very simple to do that
removes that really rough feel and that rough look,
and it makes the paint work feel nice and slick.
So I'm going to continue the clay bar process
and then we can move on to the next step
of removing any micro scratches and swirls any holograms
as well as any kind of oxidation.
Now that we've just completed the clay bar process
we've removed the embedded contaminants that were
on the pores as the paint,
giving them that rough feel as well as a rough look.
And that was also blocking the surface from the next step
which could be polishing or applying a coating.
And the reason being is that we are going to remove
all that, before we do any kind of polishing
because again it could scratch the surface
or it's going to be grinding in that kind of contamination
back into the paint work, and we really don't want that.
And also if you're going to put any kind of coatings on,
whether it's ceramic or a glaze sealant wax combination
you don't want to lock in that kind of grime.
So it's important to remove all that before we move
on to the next step of the detailing flow chart,
but after we've cleaned it we saw that there was some
light scratches in the surface of the paint work,
as well as some light staining that could be caused
by water spots or something drying on the surface.
So we're going to use our VSS scratch and swirl remover
which isn't all in one polish that's great
for refining the finish and giving you that mirror gloss.
Now to help us today we're going to be using our
torque 10 FX with an orange hex logic pad.
And this is a great combination for removing your scratches
and swirls, where they have moderate to light
as well as any kind of staining
or oxidation in the paint work, to give you again
that mirror like finish and it's super easy to use.
What we're going to do a start by spreading it out
and then breaking it down in the highest speed setting.
And then wipe off are used or spent polish
and we can check our work.
VSS did an amazing job of enhancing this already
beautiful Acura.
And now we want to make sure that we lock
in all that hard work, as well as magnify the metallic flake
and lock in that shine.
So we're going to be using Butter Wet Wax, which is
a carnauba wax, that's safe for your painted surfaces,
your headlights, your glass to repel harmful UV rays,
while also enhancing gloss and adding some more shine.
Now we're going to be using one of our foam applicator pads.
This is the UFO foam applicator.
We're just going to start by applying a couple of dots
to the applicator pad,
and spreading it out in small dabs.
And then we're just going to work back and forth
using your cross-hatching pattern.
And this will ensure that we don't miss any areas
or leave any high spots.
And butter wet wax only takes about 10 to 15 minutes
to start curing to the surface,
So by the time we're done with this half of the hood
or it'll probably be about time to start buffing it off.
As the final step for the paint work on this vehicle
we're going to be using one of my favorite products,
Speed Wipe.
This is a quick detail spray that again,
just removes any light dust that we may have accumulated
inside of the shop here, or more importantly
it's going to removing a errors when we have missed,
but this is great for in-between your car washes
to remove water spots, bird droppings,
and anything else that could have landed on the paintwork.
Simply spray it directly on and on to body panels,
headlights, glass to just gently remove
any kind of light foreign debris
And also included in the kit,
is these very plush microfiber towels
which are great for your quick detail sprays
or moving any kind of waxes and polish.
We recommend rolling the towel just to ensure
that we're creating a new edge.
So we're not grinding any abrasive particles into the finish
creating swirls and scratches.
And by folding your towel to into fours,
you're not only getting more out of the towel
but you're also creating a plush barrier
between your hand and the surface.
This way you're not exerting excessive pressure
which could potentially damage the vehicle.
We're just simply wiping off the spent quick detail spray.
And you can use this as often as desired
but, we recommend using this at the end of the detail
just to ensure that nothing has been left behind.
And it's also great for in-between your car washes
to keep your car looking as best for as long as possible.
Now that we're on the interior of the vehicle,
we're going to go around the cleaning and protection stage
using Inner Clean.
And this is perfect for just picking up that
light layer of dust or picking up any recent spills.
And it's just a great way to maintain your already
clean interior.
So to control some over-spray,
we're going to spray directly onto a microfiber towel.
And we'll start at the dashboard and work our way back.
But again, this is great for just picking up light dust
or body oils because inside of the vehicle especially
when you drive with your windows open you're always
going to collect some kind of debris or some type of
dust that just lands on the dashboard and looks awful.
So this is going to clean it without changing the sheen,
but more importantly it's going to be adding
a protective barrier against harmful UV rays.
And this is going to prevent any kind of discoloration
or staining.
So you simply spray on, wipe off
and it leaves no residue behind.
Just a simple crisp matte sheen,
and it's protecting it against UV rays or harmful elements.
And this is great for your vinyl, rubber plastics,
navigation screens, and even leather surfaces.
So you can keep a bottle of Inner Clean
in the inside of your vehicle for light touch-ups,
whether you have some spills or recent dust
or anything that could have landed on the interior
of your vehicle.
This way you can keep your car looking factory fresh
for as long as possible.
Also Inner Clean is great for cleaning
off your control surfaces, such as your steering wheel
or your gear selector, this remove any kind of body oils
that could potentially stain your leather
or cause it to crack over time.
It keeps it nice and crisp and smooth
without adding any kind of residue that would make it
slippery.
But again it's protecting that surface against harmful
elements so it's going to last as long as it can.
As our last step for the detail on this Acura,
we're going to go around the vehicle
and dress all of the trim work
whether it's the inside or the outside, all the vinyl,
rubber and plastic can be dressed using silk shine.
And again, this is a water-based dressing that is safe
for your interior and exterior plastic vinyl
and rubber trim.
And it's going to enhance the deeper gloss walls
while remaining dry to the touch so it's not going to cling
or attract any kind of dust or grime.
It's just going to simply give you a deeper finish
or repel kind of harmful UV rays
or any kind of harsh elements.
To start we're just going to spray directly
into another foam applicator pad.
We'll start working into the front valence here.
And already you can see it gives it a darker finish.
So this is going to help prevent any kind of discoloration
or a lot of vehicles that start
to turn kind of gray over time.
This will prevent any kind of discoloration
over years,
and you can leave it as is
or buff up any of the excess for a more natural finish.
But again, you can use this on your interior
whether you have your dashboard, door panels,
any kind of center console
or even your seats that are vinyl or rubber.
This is great as a tire dressing
just to add a little bit more gloss
but more importantly to protecting that finish.
