Hey everyone, welcome to Chemical Guys detail garage
I'm super excited to introduce you to a brand-new product hydro slick
We envision creating a new product that was going to give you guys the beautiful shine
Durable protection and water beading action of a ceramic coating but with the ease of use of a wax
So we started off by trying to infuse sio2 into a wax, but it just doesn't work
So what we've done those we've created a brand new product from the ground up and it's created a whole new category in the detailing
Industry and it's considered a hyper wax. Now. What is a hyper wax? This is a ceramic suspension
Gel that levels up the paintwork of any finished vehicle to give it water beading action as well as a beautiful mirror shine
You can apply this to a vehicle after it's been washed and clayed or you can take it a step further for a flawless finish
By polishing it just as we've done on this Volkswagen Golf R
Now this product is also very versatile
You can use it on your paintwork obviously
But you can also use it on your wheels your glass which is a new innovation as well as your headlights
Starting with your glass that's going to help repel water
so you're not using your windshield wipers as often or it's going to help sheet water off as it's raining outside or
Depending on the climate
But also it's going to give you more UV ray protection on
On your headlights that's going to prevent any kind of water spots and kind of etching there and oxidation
To keep them looking crystal clear for longer and your paint it's going to give you this beautiful mirror gloss for as long as possible
Because it lasts up to 12 months
Now you can also layer on additional coats of hydro slick or if we want to apply your favorite glaze sealant or wax
It's also layerable
all you have to do is apply four dots to your applicator pad and
Then use a cross-hatching pattern to spread it out over the surface and the self leveling
Technology will make sure that there's no high spots or any kind of streaking and then after a few moments you simply come back with
a clean microfiber towel and buff off any excess
now a lot of people are afraid of ceramic coatings because
Most coatings are very unforgiving where they're going to see high spots where they'll see streaks
But this new technology is very user friendly where anyone can do it. As long as you've applied some kind of wax
It's the same ease of use as a wax
So basically as soon as you apply it, it's going to start leveling itself out
And as you're wiping it off any kind of high spots will be knocked down and then you'll be revealing that beautiful clear shine
So now I'm going to give you guys a live demonstration of how to apply hydro slick on this Volkswagen Golf R
So simply take the bottle we're gonna shake it to start off with and then we're also using a microfiber applicator
It's got a foam density pad on the inside, but the microfiber so it's going to spread it out
And then we're just going to apply four small dots to the pad
about the size of a dime
Because you don't need heavy globs or thick lines just a couple dots because the product does spread very thin spreads very fine
So it saves your product it saves you time
It's you effort on the buff off and we'll start over here on the edge of the hood as well as the fender
Watching it out. We'll put a little on the headlight
We're just gonna spread it out an even coat we're gonna use that cross-hatching pattern to even any of the high spots
But also to ensure that we've covered the entire surface
This is a great way to also fill in anything. This is how you get that leveling action
This is also going to help enhance the longevity of the coating because now you're giving it an even coat
But like I mentioned before we'll recap this is going to level out the surface which gives you that beautiful shine
But since it's a ceramic coating, it's also going to give you that long-lasting protection
It helps to give you a brilliant gloss, but it's as easy to use as a wax
So I simply apply to your applicator pad
Spread it on the surface and give it just a moment to bond and then wipe it off with a clean microfiber towel
But like I also said you can also use it on your glass
Come up here apply just a couple more dots
We'll spread it out on the surface
And work it back and forth in the same process that we did on the paintwork because you can use this on any surface
That's painted shiny or clear
To give you that same protection
this is also going to give you that water beading and water sheeting actions so that you don't have to use your windshield wipers as
Often it also helps to keep your car cleaner for longer
but also this is going to make it easier to wash your car and dry your car because now
it takes just a matter of seconds rather than minutes to dry your vehicle and
It also gives you that same durable protection of a ceramic coating
So we just applied this to the fender in the hood here and it only takes a moment to start binding to the surface
But on a warmer day, it can be between 30 seconds and a minute or on a cooler day
It could be up to two minutes. So now I'm going to take a clean microfiber towel. This is our green workhorse towel
We're just going to buff it off
taking away any of the spent product and here's we're spreading out a fine coat or a thin coat really pays off because
Now you're not fighting any build-up simply buff right off
Same thing for the headlight just wipe it away
To reveal that beautiful clarity that even shine and now you've got up to 12 months of durable protection
But you can also apply it your favorite glaze sealant or wax to add more shine more protection and more of that warm glow
Same thing with your glass. You can also apply additional coats of hydro slick
Also, you can apply your favorite glaze sealing our waxes to that as well
To give you more of that depth more gloss and clarity and just give you a beautiful overall finish
what I like to do is I'll flip the towel over just to ensure that we've buffed off all the excess especially on glass where
Clarity is key. So we're not leaving anything behind but now you've just got a super slick surface
We're just going to make it difficult for water or tree sap bird droppings or anything to stick to the surface where it could etch
Now it simply glides right off the surface. And again, this is going to make it easier for when you're driving in rainy conditions
Where the water is going to simply bead right off the surface
Making sure that you don't have to use your windshield wipers as often
