Looks at this gaffer over here playing with his belly button....
Hey guys, thanks for tuning back in to the Detail Garage.
Our good friend brought in this Ferrari and it was recently detailed by an inexperienced
detailer who left the car full of scratches, swirls and holograms.
We're going to show you what causes it and how to remove them.
To start off, the detail was a wash, clay, polish and wax which makes the surface nice
and smooth but there are still scratches caused by improper washing.
Also some swirls and stains left behind from a dirty towel.
From polishing at an angle with too much speed it created holograms.
We're going to show you the before and after on the hood of this Ferrari by polishing with
Slick Finish which has a micro abrasive to refine the clear coat and take care of the
holograms while leaving behind a protective layer of wax to enhance the shine but more
importantly it protects against water spots, UV rays and anything else that could etch
the paint.
Over here we have our TORQ 10FX set up with a White Hex-Logic Quantum Pad.
This is a finishing pad that helps to refine the paint job, especially when you are using
a very fine abrasive.
We'll apply five dime size drops to the pad.
Like always, lets spray the pad with Pad Conditioner.
This lubricates the pad so we have moisture across the surface to reduce marring.
Blotching it out in the small section that we are starting with.
About a two by two square foot section is what you want to work in.
On the lowest speed setting we are going to spread it out, then on speed setting 6 we
are actually going to start cutting through the paint to restore the finish.
So once the polish has gone completely clear you want to take a clean microfiber towel
and start buffing it off.
Typically with most water based compounds and polish, once they have gone clear that
is when it is time to buff it off but Slick Finish has wax so there will always be a slight
residue.
Working back and forth in straight lines it easily buffs off.
You can see a nice deep reflective shine, all the metallic flake is popping.
We're going to finish off this half of the hood and then we can take it outside to show
you guys the before and after.
Well guys there you have it.
You can see it has been a huge transformation from how this car came in.
Although this car looked good from far away, it was still far from good.
By using a one step polish it has removed the light scratches and swirls as well as
the holograms to restore a factory shine and it has also protected it by adding a light
layer of wax.
So if you guys want to get this product for yourself head over to our website chemicalguys.com.
If you like this car or this video be sure to give it a thumbs up.
We'll see you next time right here in the Detail Garage.
