Auto Obsessed here today we're going to introduce some new products from the OBSSSSD Product lineup
obsessed products were created in consultation with Auto Obsessed today we're going to introduce
the OBSSSSD clay bar ultra fine fine medium and heavy detailing clay the clay bar you choose
will depend on your specific application now let me show you a quick product demonstration
we prepared this car earlier for claim so just a couple things about claim first off
what do you need to do to prepare the car wow you should never ever clear the car when it's
dirty so we want to do a really really thorough clean you can leave the car wet if you want for
this demonstration the car is currently dry so one of the biggest things first off is just
what is clay so a lot of people don't really understand why we clay so one thing is clean
is to remove surface contamination such as iron tar residues may be SAP overspray stuck to the
paint that doesn't come off in normal washing the clay basically is very similar to shaving
that's my way of explaining it the easiest so when you shave your face for example the blade doesn't
do anything other than pick up anything that's sitting above the skin the same thing with clay
so we're putting the clay across the surface in all it's doing is picking up those surface
contaminants and then embedding them into the clay similar to as I mentioned shaving so one thing to
just thinking about that for a second if you are dragging a piece of clay across the paint we're
gonna do some some damage no different than if we take a dry blade and we rub it across our face
we're probably gonna irritate or potentially scratch the skin on a car's paint service as
we know it doesn't need a whole lot to to cause some damage so with shaving we're gonna use some
shaving cream to provide some lubricant before we shave clean we're gonna provide some clay lube to
the surface to provide some lubricant - to allow a little clay to glide across the surface and again
just focus on picking up the contaminants for this example here it's gonna be quite difficult
to see video doesn't work that well white in a very white room it's gonna be washed out quite
a bit but looking at the car I can see a lot of pieces of iron there's some orange spots which is
on your and starting to rust we've got have some black spots here that's tar again it's gonna be
hard for you to see so I'm gonna do something we wouldn't normally do the bumper here for example
does have some paint protection film on it it's a self-healing film so I'm gonna just rub it dry I
want I want to the reason why I want to do this is I just wanna to to basically Express to you
that there's a lot of stuff on the surface here so we're just gonna go quiet here for a second
I'm just gonna brush across the bumper where the paint protection film is just so you can hear
the contaminants that are on the surface after the thorough wash we did so just listen to this
you can hear that that click click click click click click ok that's just in one little area
this whole back end is covered in it and again difficult to see but I'm just trying to show you
what's on the surface I wouldn't do that to the painted areas we're gonna scratch it plain and
simple so a couple things how do you know if your car has contaminants on it maybe this is
a black car and we're gonna have trouble seeing this essentially when you wash your car what we
usually do when the cars wet and we're usually wearing gloves we can actually pick up with our
fingertips that it's not perfectly smooth another trick some people do is put a thin bag maybe like
a really thin sandwich bag or like a bread bag that thickness over your fingers and what that
does is it just makes them a little bit more sensitive to be able to feel the contaminants
this car I can I can see them from about a foot and a half I can see it pretty much clear as
day but other times you might have to feel like when we're prepping a car we're in a wash stage
we're finished washing and and now we're gonna be checking the the panels where does the areas
get the most a new car for example it's probably gonna be everything the top of the roof top of
the trunk top of the the fenders and quarters etc because of maybe where it is in a railcar maybe
where it is at the factory a lot of contaminants are sitting on it and sticking in the paint once
a car's been decontaminated from new or maybe maintenance you're really only gonna get most of
the contaminants from behind the front wheel maybe up to the door handles and around depends on the
shape of the car if it's a hatchback or an SUV this particular car for example this whole back
end because the exhaust and the tires and we get a little bit of a whirlwind here so you get quite
a bit thrown on here we don't get too much on top of the trunk lid but a lot here on this little bit
of the wing around the license plate bumper etc it's some bits from exhaust some bits from our
brakes some of it's just from the tires picking up contaminants and putting it on the surface I
mentioned we have four different grades of clay we got ultra fine fine medium heavy always gonna
recommend that you're gonna use an ultra fine first unless you know for sure that you're gonna
be polishing car after it's got overspray it's got some heavy contaminants may be in that soon
you're not we're always gonna go to an ultrafine clay to play on the safe side we're using the
ultrafine clean it's just not picking up enough we're gonna have to step up then we might go into
fine or medium caution on that if we're going into medium we're going into heavy there's a pretty
good chance you're gonna be more in the surface so you might have to be polishing so that's something
you're gonna have to decide at that time I'll kind of show as we're doing it as well but you're
also gonna want to test with any product whether whatever it is you're always gonna want to test an
area just to make sure that you're not incurring any extra damage or getting the results you want
so we're gonna want to do a little area that we're gonna want to wipe it down we're gonna want to
take a look to see if it's doing any damage so let's start out let's talk about the ultra fine
for a second we're in a fairly cold environment so sometimes the clay gets pretty hard one trick
might be just to put the clay bar in a bucket of water hot water to it to let it to let it warm up
it becomes quite a bit more malleable we've got a pretty big piece of clay here this is one of the
bars of the 200 gram and we're only gonna take a segment of that so I'm just gonna open a package
take it out it's not the easiest there we go okay and I'm just want to break off a little bit and I
want to make about a two three inch diameter puck so as we're talking about that I'll just kind
of play with it a little bit in my hands as I'm talking to get it ready so I've got it quite warm
from the hot water so it's really nice to work with it's quite soft it's going to kind of play
with it a little bit you might want to roll it in a ball flatten it out I don't want it too thick
so I want a little bit of surface area and I don't want it too thick because then I'm just wasting
it to be honest so now I've got a little bit of a puck here so let's just go we're gonna try a
little bit on this spot here we're just going to get the clay lubricant very very important
cars dry right now if we start dragging this create clay across it picks up something we're
gonna scratch the surface so I want to put some lubricant down just so things lied nicely you
can put some lubricant on the clay and now we're simply just gonna back and forth we're not gonna
put a lot of pressure we're just going to move it we want the clay to do everything you put too much
pressure there's if there's a pretty good chance you're gonna do some more in as well obviously
the reason why we want to do clay is to make a better surface not make a worse surface so this
is the reason why I'm giving all these cautions okay so just simply just gonna go back and forth
and you can usually feel you usually feel it kind of a little bit dragging and also in it
and it kind of picks up kind of speeds up and you can't see it from from the camera and again
the quality once once the video is uploaded but I can on a white car I can actually see the pieces
disappear I've got a lot of lubricant here so there's no problem you going forward if you
want to you could change directions a little bit doesn't really matter that much you want to kind
of inspect the clay so if the camera is picking it up properly we're gonna see I've already picked up
quite a bit just in this little section so this I'm not too bad it doesn't look like we have too
much in here I can use now a little bit of a cleaner side of it and I can continue on again
want to make sure we got a lot of lubricant we like to use a true clay lubricant that's why we
have the obsessed clay lubricant I'm not a big fan of adding gloss enhancements you know some
some some people use Detailers or something people use other products as a lubricant shampoos I like
to use a dedicated lubricant something that's intended just for this purpose then therefore
we're not adding gloss we're not adding any products we're just simply adding something
that's going to give us some some lubrication so we're just gonna do a little bit more here one
thing to to note so this is a good example I've got paint protection film right here there's a
there's an edge here which probably can't pick up on the camera if I take the clay and go over it
and come back I'm actually gonna scrape off the clay on the edge so this happens a lot of times
we clients come in or we have cars come in that someone's previously detailed it's got a lot of
clay in there it's actually kind of hard to take out so just be aware of that if you have clear
film paint protection film 3m whatever whatever you're going to call it this is expell ultimate
paint protection film if you have an edge just stay away from it you can go one direction but
don't go the other direction you don't want to pick up the clay you're gonna have some fun
cleaning that up after on a white car you might not see it right now but you will see it as it
gets dirty a black car you're obviously gonna see white clay pretty easily okay so I've covered over
this it's moving really really nicely and sliding really well I can't even hear anything anymore so
what I'm gonna do is I just want to inspect that area that we talked about the side here that I
clade has no contamination on it at all and here we still have specks a few orange spots black
spots I understand it's gonna be difficult to see so I'm good just gonna try to see if we can hear
it just for a better demonstration so I'm just gonna reach in here and you hear that it kind
of smells like sandpaper now the area we played there's no sound at all really really slippery
so basically that kind of describes on on what we're doing for clay and and and the end result
so what you're going to do now is you're going to continue on the areas that do require clean
I would use the ultrafine first and you might have to step up depending on what it is you're dealing
with maybe to a fine or medium or heavy and that basically describes claim thank you for watching
