What's going on everybody
welcome to Chemical Guys a lot of us have to deal with the staining and oxidation that happens to our exposed metal surfaces such as
Our bumpers or exhaust tips or in the case of our beast of a box truck
It's got years of oxidation that I've been standing out this beautiful stainless finish. So we've already started on a small section here
We thought it'd be a great time to show you guys powerful effects of heavy metal polish
So we're gonna do is gonna start by cleaning off this side using one of our quick detail
Spray is just to knock down the loose dirt that was on the surface and we're gonna be using our heavy metal polish to knock
down the years of oxidation and corrosion
So to begin we're gonna be using some hybrid v7 spray sealant
Which is also a detailer you simply spray this directly onto the surface that you're working on
and
This picks up light dust and debris or anything else that lands on the surface of your vehicle
Already there. You can see the dirt that it's pulling off. This is the clean side now the dirty side and the polished side, but
Just from wiping. It feels really rough. And that's because of all the fallout that's on the surface and
That stains it like is that awful look?
So this is also a great idea
For those of you guys that have Airstream trailers that are you know constantly exposed to the elements
They start to deteriorate or corrode. This is a great product that helps revive that brilliant finish now that's clean
we're going to move on to the polishing step and
To assist us into that process
We'll be using our torque 15 DA which say dual action polisher with an orange hex-logic pad
You can also do this process by hand, but to save yourself a lot of effort a lot of fatigue
We're also going to be using it with the machine and this is our heavy metal polish. Which Knox found
Corrosion oxidation and also that light saying that happens to your metal surfaces using a light abrasive and we'll start by shaking up the products
And we'll apply some to our pad here
And just like when you're polishing paint you wanna do about five dime size dots maybe six depend on the service that you're working on
or the size of the surface
And as you guys may see we're outside at the detail garage today, we're actually in our back bay
We're getting ready to get this bad boy back on the road
So we're gonna brighten it up so that the whole vehicle looks like this whole section
And now we're using the heavy metal polish. We'll just dab it out here
and
on the lowest speed setting we're gonna spread it out on the highest speed setting that's we're actually going to use to break down the
polish and revive that brilliant finish
Now as you polish you're gonna notice something that it's also removing the oxidation obviously
but your pad is gonna turn really dirty and
That's the reaction between the fallout and contamination that's on the surface and the Polish doing its job
It's cleaning the way and unfortunately, it's gonna stay in the pad permanently
So it's best to use an older pad or just know that you're gonna probably throw this one away at the end of the job
but for now
We're going to just show you the process of removing the oxidation any kind of staining on the stainless steel hood here
And now that we've done this small section, we're going to wipe away the spent product obviously
I'll just reach for the vo7 again
And like I'm saying you can use this on your stainless steel chrome or wium polished surfaces
Billet titanium and also gold. So if you have things that are losing their luster or they're starting to oxidize
This is a great product to refine that finish and bring out that luster
This also helps to minimize the appearance of some of the lighter scratches that you get on say your bumpers after washing and drying
But it's important that after you polish it that you put some kind of protective coating on there whether it's a product like hydro slick
where's gonna give hydrophobic properties or you can do a combination of jetseal and butter wet wax to help bring out that shine but also
Give some more protection
So we have a lot of work ahead of us on this but now we're gonna jump on another project showing you guys the light
Metal polish and all the many uses that you can use it on your own
Thanks, so now you guys have seen what heavy metal polish can do and what it's used for but for the less aggressive jobs or
Things like your exhaust tips where they gave both up of carbon
This is going to be the time where we're going to use light metal polish
But before we do that, we're going to use some EcoSmart which we've diluted in this. Mr
Sprayer and we'll get off all the dirt and anything it's on the surface
This is also great for cleaning of water spots because it has been raining lately
Just wipe off in linear motions
And now using light metal polisher is gonna gently scrub away any of the build-up or any light staining
and again
you can use this on your
Chrome services stainless polished even diamond plate and things like that to remove any kind of oxidation or any light staining
You can do this with a machine or by hand obviously a little bit the applicator there
And you don't need to scrub very hard just want to let the polish do its job and it cleans away caked on
Staining of carbon
It reveals that brilliant finish
It's also works well for polished wheels that have brake dust accumulated
Restores that high shine
Will take a clean towel and wipe off the excess
Now we've designated grave working on metal surfaces such as your exhaust or your wheels. So just to keep your towels in order
And there you have it you can see the
Contrast between the before where it's got a buildup of carbon on there and dirt and then this beautiful brilliant nice and clean and bright
Finish that you got with your light metal polish
This is just an easy way to make a car look its best and also adds a little bit of protection
So it's going to make it harder for any kind of grime or water spots or again exhaust to stick to the surface
