I don't know if you heard, but I just did the three pushups.

What's up, everybody?
Welcome back to an episode of "Chemical Guys Detail Garage."
The owner of this Kia brought it in
because she just got back from a cross-country
road trip, and as you can see,
the front has these dead bugs
and all these kinda staining on the grille
as well as the plastic trim, so what we're gonna do here
is show you how to remove it easily and safely.
So to begin, we've already diluted Bug and Tar Wash
into one of our dilution bottles.
We'll just spray down the surface.
(bottle sprays)
The proper dilution is just a couple ounces to 16 ounces,
so for this, we used about two ounces,
and then filled the rest up with regular clean water.
And we're gonna let this sit for a moment just to kinda help
lift off anything that's on the grille.
And now we're gonna come back with some Nonsense.
(bottle sprays)
This is going to help us clean
as well as foam up so it agitates,
and then remove anything that's on the surface.
And the car's already been washed.
This is what's been stuck on there and staining.
So to help us clean it and thoroughly agitate it,
we're going to be using one of our
All in the Details brush, this is the medium size.
Spray a little bit in there as well
for some added cleaning power.
As you can hear, we're outside, so there's gonna be
a little bit of noise, so bear with us with that.
But that's a common fact of life,
is nothing's ever perfect, right?
And this is safe to use on the grille,
the surrounding, the chrome trim.
You can also use it on paint if you thoroughly
lubricate it using some type of foaming agent.
(brush scrapes)
But what's great about this is it's going to get into
the intricate areas of this honeycomb-style grille
to get all of the dead bugs, or any kind of grease or tar,
or anything else you would pick up
while you're on a road trip, just as this vehicle was.
(brush scrapes)
You can also use it on your emblems, and you can use this
even if you're just doing your regular detail.
You can also use this for your intricate
or hard-to-reach areas, so the crevices
of your grilles or emblems, things like that.
But since we're using Nonsense, we don't need
to rinse it away, we can just simply wipe it off.
A lot of people ask us, do you need to come back
and wash the vehicle again, or do you simply rinse it down,
or you can wash it, or basically wipe it away?
Since we're using Nonsense to basically
neutralize the surface, you just wipe it off
with a clean microfiber towel, or, if you have
a lot of mess, you can also come back
with the hose and rinse it all away.
Either way is perfect.
(bottle sprays)
But I'm favoring the Nonsense because it has
that foaming agent in there that helps us
to gently remove anything that's on the surface,
but it's also helping it glide,
so it's not going to scratch.
(brush scrapes)
Same thing for down here on the plastic trim here
that you see that there's a lot of this gray staining.
We're gonna spray a little bit of this onto the surface.
(bottle sprays)
And Nonsense is great for removing any kind
of old dressings, any kind of grease or staining.
And again, it's going to make the surface
prepped for the next step, which could be your dressings,
or if you're going to put a coating on the trim,
this is going to make it so that it's
basically a fresh surface to start with.
(brush scrapes)
(bottle sprays)
(brush scrapes)
And again, it's safe to use it on the paint,
so if you're in an area here where you have trim,
then plastic paint, then trim,
it's safe to get that on the paint as well.
Nonsense is safe for your paint, if you're wondering,
so it can basically just remove any kind of grease
or anything that's on the surface, because, again,
it's an all-purpose cleaner.
A lot of people think that you can only use it
on interior or engine base, or things like that,
but virtually, it works on any surface,
as long as you dilute it properly for the application,
which, today, we're using a 10-to-1 ratio,
because this stuff is fairly well embedded,
but it's not going to need an aggressive clean,
just gently scrub it away.
If you needed something really strong,
you could use it at full strength,
but diluting it is going to save you product,
and it also is just a gentle way to clean the surface.
And then we'll just finish it off
by rinsing it down and then drying it,
and then you can use your favorite dressing
to help revive the look as well as also protect it
from any kind of harmful elements,
or next time on the road trip,
it's gonna make it easier for bugs or grease
or dirt to slide off the surface.
So this is just basically a quick way
to remove anything that's on the grille
or the exterior of your vehicle from a road trip,
or maybe even just from your daily driving,
depends on where you work.
I know a lot of guys who work construction
that have concrete or tar that builds up,
so this is a great product for that,
to remove it gently and safely.
And if you guys wanna learn more about this product,
