What's up guys welcome back to the Detail Garage.
Today I've got this dark blue KIA Optima in the shop.
It belongs to a very good friend of the Detail Garage and she drives this car everyday so
it has a lot of oxidation, scratches and swirls.
The paint has a lot of contamination so if you listen carefully....
You can hear that rough sound, that is things that are stuck in the pores of the paint which
makes it feel rough and grimy.
First, we need to clay it using our OG Clay Bar and if you are new to clay, what this
is, is a sticky substance that pulls contamination and fallout from the pores of the paint to
give it a slick finish.
I've already kneaded mine into a paddy.
You're only using two or three fingers and you'll need some type of lubricant.
This is our Clay Luber, spray it on the surface and work it back and forth in straight lines.
Giving a decent amount of pressure.
I'm only going to do a small section over here to give you guys a demonstration of the
clay bar.
You can see the junk in this run off and that is all the crap coming out of the paint to
bring back that smooth feeling.
When you start claying the surface will feel kind of rough or the clay bar is dragging
but as you make your passes it will pull the junk from the paint and it will glide and
then you can move on.
I'm done with this small section so I'll wipe off the excess.
Using a clean microfiber towel I'll buff off in one direction this way I don't create any
new scratches or swirls.
The paint feels really smooth which means it is ready for the next step of the detailing process.
The owner of this car, she wants to bring back the gloss but she doesn't have the time
to get it polished.
So what we are going to do is top it off with a glaze.
Our EZ Creme Glaze is going to fill in the minor scratches and swirls and it is going
to make the metallic in this paint really pop but more importantly it will help protect
the paintwork.
Now if you listen carefully you can hear the difference between the clayed side and the
non clayed side.
So all the contamination on this half of the hood has been pulled out, we are going to
throw on the glaze just to show you guys the extreme gloss and then I'll finish off the
rest of the vehicle.
Over here, I've got my TORQ 10FX and a Blue Pad which is for applying glazes, sealants
and waxes.
It will produce a very fine layer which makes it easier for the product to bond to the surface
and easier to buff off.
Our EZ Creme Glaze, I'll start by shaking it up.
This is a glaze that enhances shine to really bring out the metallic and also fills those
minor scratches and swirls.
First off, I've loaded my pad and now I'm going to blotch it out.
Then on the lowest speed setting I'll spread it out in an even layer.
EZ Creme only takes about fifteen minutes to bond so after it cures we will buff off
the excess.
After letting the EZ Creme sit for about fifteen minutes like I had mentioned I'll buff it off.
You can see this amazing deep reflective shine.
It has filled those minor scratches and swirls and gave it an overall slicker finish.
I'm going to finish off the rest of the vehicle, I need to clay it and apply EZ Creme all over
the painted surfaces.
It is a big job but luckily for me I've got my buddy Rocky here to help me out.
You guys just sit back and enjoy.
Alright guys I'm done buffing off the glaze and the paint looks amazing.
The fillers in the EZ Creme took car of the minor scratches and swirls and it also enhanced
the gloss of this blue to make the metallic really pop.
It was a pretty heavy job to take on by myself but luckily I had Rocky to help me out.
We clayed it and that got rid of all the embedded contaminants to get the paint feeling really
smooth and then using glaze it filled the minor scratches and swirls to make the paint
smooth as glass.
