- Hey, what's up guys.
Welcome back to Chemical Guys detail garage.
Today, I'll be going over a common question
you guys always ask which is on social media,
when can I use the oil based dressings
versus when can I actually use the water based dressing?
So today I have three different cars,
we have a FRS, a (speaking in Spanish),
and a Veloster on that side.
And I'll be showing you guys
when to use an aerosol oil base,
a gel-like oil base,
or a water-based dressing.
(bass-heavy music)
So to begin this video, we're gonna start out with the FRS.
Because a lot of people have these types of grills.
They're tight, they're very intricate,
and sometimes this could be very very difficult
just to simply coat the grill.
So this is when I'll be using an aerosol,
such as Black on Black 'cause it's gonna be able to
penetrate the virtually hard to reach areas
that a hand cannot maneuver into.
So I'll go ahead and get Trim Clean to go ahead
and clean up the surface.
Trim Clean's gonna go ahead and remove any oils
that are gonna prevent Black on Black from sticking properly
onto the plastic.
I'll go ahead and simply spray it onto my microfiber towel.
Give it a couple sprays.
And all I'm gonna do is just simply massage the plastic.
This is removing all of the oils
that is not gonna allow proper bond from Black on Black.
Once I remove all the oils from the plastic,
Black on Black is gonna simply bond perfectly.
You do see some type of grime coming off of the plastics.
That is just grime, or debris from the surface of,
like, driving around or something.
I'll go ahead and massage it dry.
I'll check it, rub my fingers.
If nothing comes off, you're good to coat.
So before applying Black on Black, shake up the product.
Open it up.
And it's an aerosol-like formula.
So all you gotta do is treat it like spray paint.
If you do get it onto your paint, don't worry.
Just simply wipe it off.
It comes right off.
So shake it up.
And all you wanna do is give it very fine coats.
And this ensures you get a proper coverage
around the whole entire plastics
in the little small cracks and crevices.
If you do have any run-off that drips onto your paint,
just simply wipe it off.
But you wanna get matte sheen, simply go back
and wipe off any residue.
And I already had it pre-taped,
just so I could give you guys a quick fifty-fifty,
how it looks from before and after.
So I'll go ahead and peel this off.
And if you guys actually come close and check it out,
you see a big difference between it being ashy to classy.
So now we're gonna attack the GMC Sierra
and show you guys how to properly coat engine-based plastics
and hard to reach areas.
We'll see you guys over there.
So now we're moving on to the GMC's engine bay.
I'll be pairing up Natural Shine and Black on Black.
That's right.
It's a oil-based dressing and a water-based dressing.
They work phenomenal together.
So, if we come closely to this engine bay,
this engine bay actually has a lot of plastic,
such as the cover, the fan, there's a lot of running hoses.
But the hoses can be very, very difficult
to go ahead and dress up with a water-based dressing.
So that's why I'll be using Black on Black.
But to begin this, I'm actually gonna go ahead
and use Nonsense to knock off any loose grime or debris,
since I don't have any running water.
Simply spray it onto the area I'll be working on.
You could go ahead and get a brush to simply scrub it out,
but I'm just gonna go ahead
and get a clean microfiber towel
and wipe in one direction,
since it's just very light dust and debris.
You can see how much grime is coming off.
So simply go ahead and clean it up.
Nonsense is the all-purpose cleaner.
You could use it both on interior, exterior.
Just make sure to dilute it to your needs.
So now it's clean.
I'll go ahead and get my water-based dressing
such as Natural Shine to go ahead and coat the engine bay.
The reason why I love water-based dressings,
especially for engine bays,
is because it doesn't attract dust.
So say you're flying down the freeway,
you're doing 90 (beep), 70 (beep), 60 (beep).
You're flying down the freeway.
Dust is just gonna simply sit on top of the plastic,
but it's not gonna stick and affect the pores of plastic.
Shake up the product.
I'll go ahead and open up the spout.
Apply...
two little lines.
And now I'll go to the plastic
and simply just massage it in.
Natural Shine is one of my favorite dressings,
not because it's a water-based dressing
but just because it delivers a very OEM sheen
to the plastic I'm applying it to.
It's nothing too flashy.
Something just very crisp, very OEM.
If you do want a little bit more shine,
we recommend going, like, G6 or VRP.
So just by applying a very small coat of Natural Shine
onto this plastic, you already see a big before and after.
It went from dull, neglected, dirty
to a very crisp, black shine.
So now I'll go ahead and spray down the hoses
of the engine bay,
to attack it with Black on Black.
Attack the hoses, any hard to reach areas with Nonsense.
And I'll simply flip over my towel and I'll wipe it down.
This is gonna ensure a proper bond for my dressings
to the plastic, or any hose components.
I'll go ahead and massage this.
And you see how much grime is coming out of this engine bay?
It doesn't look too dirty, but when you actually clean it
you see a very, very big before and after.
So simply just spray it.
Massage this plastic.
When your towel gets super soiled, simply just go ahead
and switch over to a cleaner microfiber towel,
just so you won't be rubbing the same grime
around the whole entire plastic component.
And yes, plastic components can scratch up.
And if they do scratch up, unfortunately
you would have to replace that plastic component.
So now this engine bay is clean.
And yes, we are not gonna go ahead and do a new engine bay.
So this is just for demonstration purposes only.
If it's a little bit dirty on this side,
I'll take care of it a different day.
But in this occasion, I'll be using Black on Black quickly
on this side, just so I can show you the quick
before and after that a oil-based dressing can deliver.
So now it's clean.
I'll go ahead and get my Black on Black again
and it's an aerosol, remember that guys.
It's very easy to use.
Just simply go ahead and fine mist any hoses,
any plastic components,
to ensure a new-like finish to your plastics.
If you see this plastic right here, you could also use it.
Just very finely mist it.
(upbeat rock music)
And just like that,
I went ahead and coated the hard-to-reach areas
on this engine bay using the aerosol, which is oil-based.
Also, Black on Black does not accumulate dirt, dust,
or debris.
Same thing as our water-based dressing,
which is Natural Shine.
(upbeat rock music)
So now we're right here with the Veloster's tire.
One of my favorite places to apply a oil-based dressing,
such as Tire and Trim gel.
Tire and Trim gel is a oil-based dressing
that will not be harmed with morning dew.
When it comes into contact with water,
water's simply gonna repel off.
Me personally, my truck sits outside.
I don't have a garage for it.
So every single time I walk outside
with water-based dressing,
it kinda wears off.
So this is why I love using a oil-based dressing
for my tire shine.
Especially 'cause it has very, very high shine.
So to show you guys how to simply apply it,
I'll go ahead and have Nonsense.
But before I spray Nonsense, I'll go ahead and get my tape
just so I could show you guys a hard fifty-fifty
on this tire.
This is Jason's car.
He never washes it. - Crikey!
- He's basically a newbie to it,
so we're using it as demonstrations for you guys.
So simply go ahead and get Nonsense.
Spray it onto the tire.
And what Nonsense is, it's simply gonna remove any old grime
or dressing that the tire might've had.
Simply scrub it back and forth.
This is why I love Nonsense.
Nonsense can be virtually used anywhere.
And by scrubbing it out with Nonsense,
I'm going to go ahead and get a proper bond
of Tire and Trim gel onto the tire.
So you start to see it.
Nonsense is clear, but the foam is brown.
That is because Jason
be going through some crazy, crazy adventures.
- Today we're hunting down the illusive detailing gorilla.
Stay tuned for the next episode.
Same channel, same time, right here!
(gorilla grunting)
- And puts his car to use.
Obviously, this is the Road & Track Car of the Year.
So that's what you're supposed to be doing.
Get a clean microfiber towel.
Wipe in one direction.
And just like that, I removed all the grime
that was sitting on his tire.
Then go back and scrub it out one more time.
And now, there's the finger test.
Nothing came off.
It's a clean tire.
It's time to dress it.
So this is Tire and Trim gel.
Tire and Trim gel is a very, very, very thick gel.
All you need is about, like, three dots.
And go to town with it.
Simply massage it in.
Do not let any of this dressing just sit.
Make sure you work it into the entire tire,
entire pores of the tire,
to get a proper bond,
so whenever you drive off,
it doesn't sling or spatter everywhere.
So just simply work it in.
If you do have any excess,
simply get a microfiber towel, wipe it off.
And Tire and Trim gel can also be used
on all exterior plastics, which is my favorite.
Like I told you guys, I don't have a garage.
My truck sits outside.
So if you do have any trim pieces,
if you have like, a wing, a splitter, a grill,
or anything that's plastic outside that is not painted,
use Tire and Trim gel to protect it
if you have a lot of contact with water.
So massage it back.
I'll go ahead and get my microfiber towel to a clean side.
And just like that, I went ahead and coated this tire.
I did get a little runoff on this side.
I'll go ahead and dry it up,
so I can give you guys a hard fifty-fifty.
And check that out.
This tire is fully coated.
It's ready to go.
If Jason drives off right now, it's not oily at all.
So if he drives off, it's not gonna spatter
onto this orange paint.
It's coated.
If it comes in contact with water, it's not gonna wear off.
This side is neglected,
has gunk, road debris, and much more.
And obviously a dressed tire always looks better
than a nasty brown tire.
This tire has been coated.
I'll go ahead and attack the interior of this Veloster
and show you guys why you should always
use a water-based dressing versus a oil-based dressing.
See you guys there.
So now we're in the Veloster's interior.
We're using this door as an example,
because this door reflects
on the whole entire interior of this Veloster.
So, just by inspecting it, already see
that Jason has some little splatter
from some type of perfume or cologne,
'cause if I rub it, it does not come off.
He also has this speaker right here which has holes in it.
And I'll be showing you guys how to properly coat it
without clogging it up or damaging the surface.
So, before I actually coat it, I'll go in and use Nonsense.
Like I said, Nonsense can be virtually used anywhere.
So I'm gonna just spray it onto my microfiber towel
and wipe it off.
And instantly, Nonsense starts attacking all the grime,
the perfume, the cologne,
whatever he has splattered onto his door.
And especially down here,
you could already see if I wipe it,
there's all these scuff marks from passenger doors,
or even just yourself.
Especially on the driver's side,
'cause it gets a little bit more traffic.
You're always gonna get a little bit more scuff marks on it,
'cause whenever you push out with your leg,
your leg tends to scuff it up.
So simply clean it up like so.
And now, I'll go ahead and get my dressing.
That's a water based dressing, such as Natural Shine.
The reason why we recommend using a water-based dressing,
one, it's dried to a touch.
Two, it's not too glossy that it's gonna cause a glare
whenever you're driving,
especially if you apply it on your dashboard.
And three, it looks the best on interiors.
You never wanna go ahead
and have a very oily-like texture
to any vinyl, rubber, plastic on your interiors,
because that's what tends to crack the dashes.
So go ahead and use a water-based dressing
that has UV protectants such as Natural Shine,
to enhance the shine and restore it to its original form.
So simply shake up the product,
and go ahead and apply...
one and a half line.
And since I am working with perforated style like speakers,
I'll go ahead and smear the Natural Shine
onto my applicator,
so I won't get a big chunk of product onto one area.
Simply go, rub it in.
And once it's fully into the microfiber pores,
it's gonna look like so.
You'll go to your plastic and just smear it around.
This is gonna go ahead and allow me to get a proper coverage
and not too much of a heavy coat such only one area.
So simply work it in.
And just by applying it, you get this nice aroma
of new car smell from Natural Shine.
So simply...
rub it in.
Natural Shine's gonna go ahead
and restore your vinyl, rubber, plastic interior components
that you might have,
to how it once was,
how you drove it off the dealer.
So just massage it on.
Natural Shine does have UV protection in it.
So if your car does not have tints, like this Veloster,
and the sun's attacking it, it's not gonna crack.
If you do get it onto glass, just simply wipe it down.
It comes right off.
So now, just like that, I went ahead and coated it.
I'll get my clean microfiber towel, buff it off.
And it's gonna give it this amazing, crisp sheen
that I personally love,
from Natural Shine.
Look at that before and after.
And you see that crazy before and after
because your plastic--
you don't really realize it,
but whenever you're driving,
you have your arm on this plastic,
this plastic is actually gonna get the most traffic.
Or whenever you're clicking the little button up and down
to put your windows up and down,
you're actually tarnishing the plastic
because you have body oils, you have grime,
you might have Cheeto fingers.
(slurping sound) (beep)
Who knows what you have on your fingers.
So that's why it turns dull over time.
So the best way to restore it is a water-based dressing
on the interiors.
So guys, if you guys liked this video,
don't forget to comment down below.
Let us know what type of videos you wanna see.
Let us know what type of dressings you use on your car.
And we'll see you guys next time,
