(exploding bass sound)
- Hey guys and welcome back to the Detail Garage.
Joseph here, with another chapter
on this beautiful '59 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.
So as you look at the front, what do you see immediately?
You see a lot of this beautiful chrome
that's poppin' out at you, but off course,
being a '59 and with all these pieces being original,
it needs extra love.
Needs extra attention and care, and what better thing
to go ahead and put on there, is going to be our
Chemical Guys Heavy Metal Polish.
The reason why it's called Heavy Metal Polish
is literally, this 16 ounce bottle is not 16 ounces.
It's literally 45 pounds and my hands
are getting a workout right now.
Totally joking around, but it rather on the heavy side
as I hold this in my hand, my right arm is kind of shaking
just a little bit, old tennis injury that I had back in '84.
And we're gonna go ahead an make some magic happen here
in just a few moments.
So, what is Heavy Metal polish and what does it do?
Well, it's gonna polish up your metal,
so that's what it does.
So what I'm gonna go ahead and take,
is this microfiber applicator right here,
gray because metal is kinda on the grayish side.
You could go ahead, use a blue one, black one,
whatever you wanna go ahead and do but the reason why I like
this gray color is you can actually see the transfer
from the contamination that it takes off.
So what I'm gonna go and do is right now, again,
you see I put some tape right down here.
What that tape is gonna go and show is this side
compared to that side.
So as you see, nothings been done here before.
So we're gonna go ahead and find out the results together,
all right.
So,
I'm gonna open it up just like that and I'm gonna go and.
Ooh, it was ready to go right there. (laughs)
So I'm gonna go ahead and put on a couple dabs
just like this.
And, I'm gonna go ahead and and start to just.
Let me make sure my legs don't, here. How about that?
That's pretty good for a? Okay, perfect.
Just like that. Okay.
And I'm gonna go ahead and dab it. Now,
this next step is very critical.
What I'm actually gonna go ahead and do
after I have dabbed is
I'm gonna go ahead and start moving violently (laughs),
I'm gonna go ahead and start moving with some pressure,
like this.
So let's go and take a look. So,
if you were to listen really closely
you can actually hear it do some work.
So I'm gonna go ahead and continue on this.
And as you see, just straight lines is what I'm doing.
Just like that, right.
Now, for those people who are bargain shoppers,
what else that you can go ahead and do as the holidays
are coming up. You're gonna have honey baked ham,
you're gonna have like yams, all that other stuff,
and you need more silverware for all the family members.
So, go to that thrift store. Go to that garage sale
and pick up those nasty little, like tarnished pieces
of silverware, of cutlery, if you will,
and maybe use this, right?
So, that's just an idea. Just throwing that out there.
So, as I have done this for just a brief moment in time,
I'm now going to go ahead and take my
Workhorse towel and gonna go ahead
and polish this up real quick.
Just like that.
And now, to see what the difference is.
Let's go ahead and do this.
Let's go ahead and remove this.
Sorry, my angle was a little bit wrong there.
So let's go ahead and do this.
And, can you go ahead and see that line, right there.
So, I mean I'm picturing you right now
sitting at home in a La-Z-Boy couch
and just shaking your head, yes.
Yes, Joseph. I definitely see those results.
So, that's really cool. So basically you're seeing
right there, the difference, the shine.
Now again, keep in mind that this vehicle is a '59.
So it's not gonna go ahead and be flawless
because it's not meant to be flawless.
It's just meant to bring out and enhance
what that metal looks like.
So, what I'm gonna do since the holidays are close,
Santa is gonna have a special little helper come along.
And we're gonna have Joey go ahead and use some of these
other areas that don't need, maybe, that Heavy Metal Polish,
maybe it just needs Light Metal Polish.
So, for example, if you have a newer vehicle
you have a exhaust, or you have polish wheels,
maybe you have some trim on a vehicle,
maybe it's a 2013 on up. Maybe you don't need that
Heavy Metal Polish, then we also have Light Metal Polish
for those light situations.
So, I'm gonna go head continuing on working over here
and get the front of this thing looking
like a person smiling with braces on.
And Joey's gonna go ahead and work on those other areas
of the trim on this beautiful '59 Coupe DeVille.
See you guys here shortly.
(energetic hip-hop music)
- Hi guys, so while Joseph is finishing up the front end,
I'm gonna show you guys a little something
on the chrome trims throughout the rest of the vehicle,
and that's these fine thin ones that go
throughout the whole vehicle.
I'm gonna go ahead and use Light Metal Polish to go
and restore these, give them a shine.
And that's also gonna seal them and it's gonna protect them
from UV rays and from getting oxidized.
Don't want to get Light Metal Polish on your paint, so
we're gonna go ahead and mask this off with some tape.
We'll make sure that's on there nicely.
And then we'll also do the other side here.
And then I'm also gonna add another piece of tape
right through the middle, so we can see our little
before and after effect.
So, tricky little piece right here,
just because it is a thin piece.
So, obviously we're not gonna, you know,
saturate the whole pad here.
We're gonna go ahead and just open it up
and we're gonna add about two little dots, very nearby.
Just because the way I'm gonna fold this,
since it is a sponge, we're gonna go ahead and kind of
fold it together like this,
and we're gonna work that against the trim like so.
So, we'll go ahead and do that.
And we're just gonna work it left and right.
You don't have to, you know, apply any vigorous motions.
Just work it nicely. This is Light Metal Polish,
so this is just gonna work to clean this metal,
get rid of any little water spots, light oxidation,
films that kind of build up over time,
without having to use a polisher or anything.
Especially since we're working
on this fine little trim right here.
So, once that's been worked out you'll see
the applicator gets a nice little black residue
from the oxidized and tarnished metal.
We'll go ahead and grab out gray Workhorse towel,
we'll wipe off the excess of the product.
And then we'll go ahead and take off this piece of tape
so that we can see this nice little 50/50 there.
See the clean side on the right side
and still a little bit of oxidized,
kind of cloudy look on the left.
And then we'll go ahead and just remove
these pieces of tape
once we are done working the product.
So now that we've finished the chrome trim,
we're gonna go ahead and move on to these beautiful
20 inch polished wheels. We're gonna go ahead and use
Light Metal Polish on one side.
And we'll go ahead an put a piece of tape
so that you guys at home can see the difference.
So, I'm gonna go ahead and mask these off
right down the middle here.
And make sure that's on there nice and tight.
That's fine there.
And then, we'll go ahead and grab our
Workhorse microfiber applicator.
Same deal with the Light Metal Polish. I don't like applying
too much, I usually apply a light amount.
Four little dots, like so.
And I'll go ahead and pretty much
spread it out on the surface.
And then I'll just work it left and right.
So remember, this is gonna go ahead and remove
any kind of tarnished metal,
any kind of layers that build up,
water spots, stuff that usually
kind of builds up on the surface.
Clean it right up.
Usually you'll see it while you're doing it.
If it's really bad, you'll get like a film
of black residue on your applicator
and the towel that you used to wipe it off with.
See that?
So now, we'll go ahead and set that one there.
And grab our towel.
We'll wipe off the rest of the product here.
And we'll go ahead and remove this piece of tape.
Check it out.
Pretty big difference if you ask me.
You see this side right here, it's a lot more,
you have a lot more clarity on that side.
Whereas this side right here you'll see more of a white,
cloudy kinda look to it.
(upbeat hip-hop music)
- And there you have it guys.
Literally, what took us probably about an hour or so
would have taken the average man about two weeks
to go ahead and complete.
Now, keep in mind that we have a vehicle here
that's over 60 years old.
So, of course, things aren't gonna come out 100% flawless,
but I am more than pleased and satisfied
with the results of what we show.
Now, Joey focused on the light metal parts.
So, you saw that like the results from the wheels
and stuff, the polished wheels, amazing job.
Now, this is an applicator, and this darkness
what you end up seeing that's right here,
well that's the transfer of all the contamination and stuff,
the grime that would have pulled off.
Amazing job that would happen.
Now that was with the Light Metal Polish.
On these areas of the bumper, the front grill,
we were focused on the Heavy Metal Polish. So,
literally I used both arms because
the type of force which you have to do
to get the right results.
I mean, the average man couldn't have even kept it up
for probably 15 minutes.
So, our editing crew here at Chemical Guys
does an amazing job. So, they've condensed these five hours
or so into probably a four minute long video.
So, I want a lot of thumbs up, a lot of engagement,
comments, ask us questions for what we did.
So, right here you go ahead and feel, and as I just
caressed the front of this grill, it feels just like butter.
Very smooth, very slick. So, again,
Heavy Metal Polish for those really hard and tough areas.
Light Metal Polish for those areas
that just need that nice little pop.
Joey, show 'em your fingers real quick, bro.
As Joey pulls up his fingers, that is the transfer,
that is the grime, everything that came off.
My hands are very delicate so I lathered 'em up
with Vaseline before I even touched an applicator.
So they are resistant to all this, you know,
toxic type of transfer what got on.
So, if you guys like this video please give us a thumb up.
Comment below if you wanna see more videos like this
and definitely subscribe to this channel
because you gotta lot of rare and interesting you know,
characters, like myself and Joey.
So Joey, thank you for being the helper today
and you guys, I look forward to seeing you the next time
at the Detail Garage. See you very soon.
