- Hey, what's up guys?
Check out these scratches and swirls.
Does your paint look like this?
Stay tuned, we're going to show you guys how
to fix it, right now.
All right, so first thing's first, we're going to need
to grab our tools and equipment
in order to get this job done.
So the first thing we're going to do is open up our trunk
and grab our Arsenal Range Trunk Organizer Bag.
And one of the great things about the Arsenal Range Bag is
that is comes with a tone of compartments,
holsters, and pockets that you can easily organize
and store all your favorite Chemical Guys products,
and it even has a special compartment just your polisher.
So to begin this process,
we are going to be washing the vehicle,
but before we do that, we want to make sure that
we deep clean these wheels.
We're going to be using our Sticky Citrus wheel gel
in combination with some All Clean+ All Purpose Cleaner.
So the first thing we want to do is then
rinse off the tire and the wheel
from any loose dirt and debris.
Just kinda knock off any kind of contaminants that are
on there that could potentially
scratch and swirl our wheels.
After we pre-rinse the wheels,
now we can begin with cleaning the tire.
To clean the tire, we're going to be using the
All Clean+ All Purpose Cleaner.
Now, All Clean+ is great because it's citrus based
and you can use it in combination with a stiff-bristle brush
in order to remove any kind of grime, brake dust,
and previous dressings that are on your tires.
That way, once you're done washing and drying your tires,
whenever you apply a tire dressing, it lasts much longer
and it looks much better.
The next thing that we're doing is the undercarriage.
So in order to clean the undercarriage,
we're going to be using the same cleaner, All-Clean+
and we're going to be using it in combination
with the Rimpaca Wheel Brush.
It does an amazing job at allowing us to get that
nice, deep clean without having to get our hand in there
and getting our hand all jacked up.
So now I'm going to be using the Rimpaca Reach Around
which as you guys can see has a nice, angle design
which allows you to get into the wheel nice and deep
without you kind of having to do any kind of weird motions
with your hands so that you have the best ease of use.
So we're using it in combination
with some Sticky Citrus Wheel Gel
which is also a citrus-based gel cleaner.
So this is going to work out extremely well for these wheels
because they are a gloss black finish
and these are safe on all wheel finishes.
And the great thing about it is that it
foams up very nicely, so whenever you combine it
with your favorite Chemical Guys wheel brush,
it'll foam up, give you that nice, rich later,
and mostly find any kind of contaminants that can
potentially scratch up the finish of your wheels.
And then we proceed to cleaning the face of the wheel
with our Flagged Tip Brush which, as you guys can see,
does an amazing job at pretty much getting
to all these spokes so that we can easily get
into all the intricate areas of this wheel.
And lastly, we're going to be using our Boar's Hair
Detailing Brush which is a nice, small, little brush
that's going to easily allow us to get
into the lug nuts, the valve stem,
and actually clean the brake caliper, as well.
So now we're pretty much done,
all we have left to do is give it a quick, little rinse,
knock off any kind of remaining cleaner and grime,
and then proceed with cleaning the rest of the wheels.
So we're done with the wheels, now we have to proceed
to cleaning the body of the vehicle in order for us
to get ready for that polishing stage. So the next
that I'm going to do is pull out my wash equipment
from my Arsenal Range Bag which I'm going to be pulling
out my Big Mouth Foam Cannon, a wash mitt,
my favorite Watermelon Snow Foam soap,
and we're going to set up our two-bucket method
so we have the safest wash experience possible.
So we have our two dirt traps in our clear buckets
ready to go and now all we have left to do is
to set up our foam cannon.
Now I'm going to be using the TORQ Big Mouth
Max Release Foam Cannon.
I have it already pre-filled with some water
and I'm going to be pairing it with my favorite
Watermelon Snow Foam.
Now Watermelon Snow Foam is great because it's going to
give us that nice, deep, rich lather.
And we're also going to be apply some Watermelon Snow Foam
to our wash buck and throw our wash mitt in there
to kind of pre-saturate and get that ready
for the washing process.
So before we get to that, we do want to make sure
to rinse off the vehicle just like how we did the wheels.
So we're going to give the car a pre-rinse.
We're going to plug in our
Big Mouth Max Release Foam Cannon to our TORQ nubbie
which is connected to our pressure washer
and give this a nice, deep, rich layer of foam.
So now that the vehicle's all foamed up, I usually give it
about 20 to 30 seconds just to kind of lather,
uplift any kind of dirt and grime, and then we can continue
with actually washing it with our wash mitt.
So now we're going to grab our Chenille Microfiber Wash
Mitt, slide that onto our hand, and then
we're going to start from top to bottom.
Wipe in straight motions to prevent the chance
of inflicting any kind of more damage to the paint.
We're going to be washing the vehicle using the
two-bucket method, so we're going to be going back and forth
from our wash bucket to our vehicle to ensure that
we filter any kind of abrasive contaminants
that's stuck inside our wash mitt
so that we have the safest experience possible.
So now that we're all done wiping on car,
now all there's left to do is to rinse it and dry it off.
So I'm going to rinse it off, dry it,
and then get this pulled into the bay.
All right guys, so we're inside, the car's inside the bay.
It's clean, it's dry, and now we're ready to polish.
The great thing about the Arsenal Range Bag is that
if you already have your Chemical Guys Detailing Arsenal
then you can throw it into the nice,
spacious bag, organize it, and take it with you
on the go at all times.
If you don't have your Chemical Guys Detailing Arsenal
or one of these bags, we have a ton of amazing kits
available on our website that actually feature
the Arsenal Range Bag in it.
Now the one in front of me actually happens
to be one of them.
It comes with all the pads, our V-line,
an extra backing plate that you can use
for any kind of curve there is, and the polisher, itself.
So the kit does come with the TORQ 10FX Polisher
which is one of my personal favorite machines
just because it does it all.
You can convert it to a six-inch backing plate,
a three-inch backing plate, use it to polish
all the headlights, heavy scratches, swirls,
throw on the carpet drill brush attachment
and clean your carpets.
And you can even use it to apply your favorite
Chemical Guys glazes, sealants, and waxes in seconds.

So back to the detail.
We have the car washed, it's inside the bay.
We actually went ahead and clayed it off-camera as well,
and it's ready for us to polish.
So the first thing that we're going to do is we're going to
assess the paint and figure out which combination of
pad and compound or polish that we're going to need to use
in order to correct this paint.
Now, usually we recommend going with a combination
of like V-36 and the orange pad,
but you know, with enough experience,
you can kinda tell like, what exactly it's going to need.
And I'll tell you guys for sure that this is definitely
needing a compound as opposed to a polish.
So that's why we're going with the V-34
in combination with the Orange Hex Cutting Pad
because it's going to work out in our favor so that we can
quickly and easily cut through these heavy layer
of scratches, swirls, and even water spots that are
in this paint so that we have
a better foundation to work with.
So grab your TORQ 10FX, get your Orange Hex-Logic
Cutting Pad, and make sure it's
perfectly centered on your backing plate.
Then once you're done with that, flip it over,
grab your V-34, apply five pea-sized drops
and then blot it onto the vehicle,
and then you can spread it out on speed setting one
just to kind of stretch the product
into the area that you're going to be working it in.
You know, we recommend working in a two-by-two area
just so that you have control and more precision
as to where you're polishing.
Now once you have spread it out on speed setting one,
you turn it onto the high speed setting,
work it until it's fully broken down,
and then once it becomes clear, you can
and turn off your machine, grab your microfiber towel
and buff off the excess, and enjoy the shine.
Whenever you conduct a heavy cut with a compound,
it's best to refine it with the finer polish.
So the next step in this process is we're going to refine it
with our same machine.
We're going to be using the TORQ 10FX in combination
with the White Hex-Logic Polishing Pad.
So it's a big difference between the pads.
The pad is pretty much facilitate
the level of cut that you're going to be receiving.
So in this case, the white pad, it's a lot softer
in composition and it's a lot smoother.
So it works out a lot better at removing
the finer micro-swirls and imperfections in the paint.
Whenever you do a heavy cut with a more
aggressive compound, you kind of want
to come back and refine it.
So just like how sandpaper works, you know,
if you ever do something aggressive,
you want to kind of refine it so that
you have the smoothest finish possible.
So that kind of applies to paint as well,
so that's why we're using a finer polish
to get the job done.
So same process, five pea-sized drops,
blot it out, spread it on speed setting one,
and then work it on speed setting six.
Work it until it's fully clear
and wipe it off with a microfiber towel.
All right guys, and just like that, you're finally done
with polishing your paint.
So as you guys saw before, the paint was
extremely scratched, swirled,
and extremely oxidized, and looked horrible.
Now, check it out.
It looks amazing, it almost looks like a black mirror,
a ton of reflection, a ton of shine,
and the ultimate clarity.
All right guys, and that pretty much wraps it up.
