- Hey, what's up guys.
Welcome back to an episode
of Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today, we're going to be going over what's the difference
between a glaze, a sealant and a wax.
So behind me, I have this Nissan Sentra.
It's black and we already washed it, we played it,
but we're going to be skipping over the polishing step
and the ceramic step just so we could show you guys
what effect it would have on your paint
if you want to skip over the polishing step
and the ceramics step.
All right. So get right into this video.
We'll start off by talking about a glaze.
We're going to be talking
specifically about Wet Mirror Finish.
So what does Wet Mirror Finish?
Wet Mirror Finish is a glaze that has a micro fillers in it.
That's going to enhance the depth
and it's going to hide scratches and swirls on your ride.
So just in case you don't have a polisher
and you still want to get rid of some scratches and swirls,
for a minimal period of time,
that's when you use a glaze.
A glaze is going to enhance depth and shine to your ride.
Whether it's blue, black, yellow, orange,
it's still going to hide any imperfections on your ride.
So if you don't have a polisher or you do have a polisher,
you can still apply a glaze after ceramic.
So like this, you hide any more imperfections
that might be seen on your paint.
So now that we talked about the glazing step,
we'll be moving onto the sealant step.
In this occasion, we're going to be talking about Jetseal.
So Jetseal is a man-made sealant that one,
it's not going to fill in any scratches or swirls.
It's just going to add protection and depth.
So whenever you're applying a sealant to your ride,
a sealant is always going to enhance depth and clarity
to your ride.
So Jetseal has nano-tech polymers in it that one,
it's going to cause a very strong barrier
on the top of your clear coat.
So just in case any bird droppings, tree sap,
road grime, tar or anything that might be
sitting on the surface of your vehicle.
It might sit on top of it,
but it's not going to embed itself into the clear coat
and damage it forever.
So a sealant like Jetseal, like I told you guys,
it's going to last up to 12 months.
It's going to have hydrophobic effect
and it's going to enhance depth and clarity to your ride.
So man-made sealant like Jetseal can also be applied
on many different surfaces,
such as your carbon fiber that has been clear coated.
It can be applied on your wheels.
It can be applied on your glass
and even your painted surfaces and even your chrome.
So like this, you stay protected all year round.
365 days a year using Jetseal.
So now we're moving on to Butter Wet Wax.
So what is Butter Wet Wax?
Butter Wax is a natural carnauba wax that cleans your paint.
It shines it and it protects it all in one easy step.
So Butter Wax is a carnauba wax
that's going to enhance a warmer shine to your ride.
It will also be removing any contamination
that is causing your paint to be dull.
So butter wax will clean it, shine it and protect it.
So how do you apply these products onto your ride?
So there's two different ways you could apply it
onto your ride.
One, you could apply it by hand
by using the Monster Fluff applicator pad, like I did.
I like these applicators because I could apply it by hand.
But if you're short on time,
that's when you could bring out your polisher,
your dual-action polisher.
And whenever you're applying these products,
I always recommend using different types of pad
for each product.
So for your glaze,
you'll start off with the blue pad,
speed setting one. Spread it out evenly.
Cross hatch it so that you get an even coverage.
So whenever you're applying a glaze,
we always recommend applying it
and letting it sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
Let it haze up. then you come back
and move on to the next step.
And this occasion, whenever you're applying Jetseal,
that is whenever you'll be using a black finishing pad
and you'll be doing the same exact concept.
You'll speed setting one across the surface of the vehicle.
If not by hand, cross hatch it.
Let it sit for 15 minutes to 20 minutes
on the surface of paint.
Come back with a soft microfiber towel and remove it.
And finally, we're going to be using Butter Wet Wax.
So Butter Wax can be applied with the red finishing pad.
The red finishing pad can also be used
with your dual-action polisher.
Your dual-action polisher speed setting one.
Spread it around and across the whole entire vehicle
and then come back and remove it
using a soft microfiber towel.
So guys, now that we've finished applying the product,
now it's time to show you guys the effects
that it had on this Nissan Sentra behind me.
So to start off,
we're going to start off with the controlled area.
And the controlled area, as you guys can see,
it still has scratch and swirls, it looks dull
and it looks neglected.
Now we're moving on to the glazing part.
So the glaze step, as you guys can see on camera,
it got removed a very minimal scratch and swirls.
They gave it a much deeper look
and enhance the shine and the clarity.
And next, when we move on to a Jetseal section,
Jetseal section did not fill in any scratches and swirls.
It only added clarity and depth to this paint.
And now we're moving on to the Butter Wax section
and you guys can see Butter Wax cleaned, shined,
and protected the paint, all in one easy step.
Just by using Butter Wet Wax.
So finally guys, these products can also
be all stacked up together.
You go a glaze, a sealant, and a wax.
