- Learn how to turn your glass from this to this.
Hey, what's up guys.
Welcome back to another episode of "Chemical Guys",
Detail Garage.
Today, we have a brand new product drop.
I'm not going to make you guys wait any longer.
It's right here behind this towel.
You guys have been asking for a while now
that you guys have wanted a product that cleans glass
and protects your glass from water,
to repel liquids and contaminants.
Well, you have it right here with our brand new Hydro View.
So, we've combined everything that you guys know and love
about glass cleaners and infuse it with the power of
SI02 nano chemistry.
So, Hydro View is a ceramic glass coating.
So what this is, it's pretty much a glass cleaner
combined with a ceramic coating.
So now, you can clean your glass,
achieve that optimal clarity and also layer a ceramic,
UV protectant and extreme slickness to the surface
that sheds contaminants right off
so that you have crystal clear clarity at all times.
So, you can use it to apply it on your glass,
to clean up light dust, debris, fingerprints,
whatever's on your glass and also layer it with a durable
ceramic UV protected and give it extreme slickness
that is going to reject any kind of contaminants
that comes your way.
So, I'm going to show you guys how to use it right now.
All right guys, so first things first,
what I want to do right here in the windshield
is show you guys how easy and how quickly
you can use a product like Hydro View
and achieve incredible results.
So, the first thing I'm going to do, is grab some tape.
And, I'm going to also set it down
in the middle of the glass right here,
because I want to show you guys
what a treated surface looks like.
Here I have my waffly towel, which I personally think
works the best with this application
because you have that waffle like texture
to the towel that picks up any kind of contaminants
on your glass so that it's not just smearing around.
You pick it up and it kind of filters it
throughout the towel so that you have a nice,
easy glass cleaning experience.
Grab your bottle.
Spray directly into your towel.
Now if you're doing this indoors,
then you can go in and spray it directly onto the glass,
if you're doing it indoors or in a shaded environment.
If you're doing it outdoors, in the sun,
I would recommend just doing what I just did.
Spraying it directly on the towel
and then working onto the surface.
Reason for it is because the last thing that you want to do
is spray it onto your entire windshield, and then, you know
the sun pretty much dries it up because
sun gets pretty hot guys.
Believe it or not, it gets pretty hot.
It heats up the surface, and it would prematurely
dry up the product, thus wasting it.
And, we do not want to waste our product.
We want to make the best use out of it.
So, what we're going to do now is since I'm working indoors,
I'm going to spray it directly onto the surface
and give this little area five little sprays.
And I also have three sprays on my towel as well and
then what I'm going to do is, move this tape out the way,
and then grab my towel and simply wipe in straight motions.
And just like that, you pick up any kind of grime, excess
you know, fingerprints that are on the surface,
anything that's really on the glass.
You can use this method to clean it up
and then grab your other side of your towel.
come back and pick up any kind of excess grime,
any kind of excess cleaner left behind
and also buff in that layer of ceramic SI02 protection.
So, it's as easy as that.
As you guys saw, it's not a crazy process.
It's pretty straightforward.
Spray-wipe, and you got yourself crystal clear glass
and amazing slick results.
Now on the weather, it does happen to look like
it's going to be raining soon.
- That is correct Joey, we have a 99.6 to 71% chance
of precipitation coming down South bound
from the upper West coast region in the next couple of days.
- All right, guys.
So, we just got our weather update.
Now we're just going to go ahead
and let that windshield settle for now
until we actually get to that inclement weather.
So, we're going to put Hydro View to the test.
So, we're going to be testing it in these inclement weathers
to show you guys what Hydro View will do if you apply it
to your windshield.
Remember, Hydro View does provide extreme slickness
to your glass. So, it's going to create
that layer of hydrophobic properties.
That's going to just reject any kind of contaminants
including water from sticking to your glass,
thus making it much more safer for you to drive
in those inclement weather conditions.
Now for the meantime, I do want to go over
a different situation on the side glass.
Now, I know the side glass doesn't look dirty at all,
but what I realized is that it's very, very contaminated.
So, what I want to do right here is show you guys somewhat
of a different scenario.
So the windshield, it wasn't too bad.
So for all you guys that have, you know
pretty well maintained cars, take pretty good care of them,
your glass isn't too bad,
you may have a coating on there already or a sealant
or wax, whatever the case is, and you take pretty well care
of your glass,
then Hydro View will work out amazing,
but what happens when you don't have the luxury of having
already clean or somewhat clean glass?
This right here is very dirty and Hydro View
is a ceramic coating.
So, you know, Hydro View is a cleaner,
but it's also a ceramic coating.
So, the last thing that I want to do
is lock in the layer contaminants that's on this glass
with that coating.
So, what I'm going to do here is clean it with a product
like streak free to safely clean this up.
Just going to spray a light little coat onto the surface,
and then grab my microfiber towel and wipe off the excess
of the cleaner and any kind of grime
that's sitting on the surface.
Now, right now, as soon as I'm done buffing it off,
I'm going to show you guys exactly what I'm talking about.
So the glass may look fine, you know?
Cool. That's all good and all but the thing is
that has embedded contamination.
So right now, well I feel the pain.
Check this out.
Not so smooth, right?
Sounds pretty raspy.
If you guys know what a clay bar is, you guys will know that
that's exactly what a clay bar is built for.
So, that's exactly what I'm going to be using right now.
So, I have my OG clay bar right here.
So, I'm going to grab myself a little chunk here.
Nothing crazy, just enough for me to go ahead
and cover this glass.
Oh, that's stretchy.
So, I'm going to grab my clay bar there.
Knead it around.
Just knead into a little patty
and catch that before it falls.
Man, fast reflexes.
Check that out guys.
So, grab my clay bar.
I do have some clay lubber right here.
And, what I'm going to do is decontaminate the surface.
What I'm going to do is it spray directly onto my glass
here, and this clay bar is actually going to remove
the embedded impurities that are in the actual glass.
So then, that way we have a much better bond
and we have better clarity when we apply our Hydro View.
So clay bar, super easy to use.
You know, we've done tons of videos covering clay bar.
Now, if you guys need any kind of further explanation
on what a clay bar is and how to use it,
you guys can check our other videos right here.
I'm giving you guys a pretty much, you know
quick rundown as how to use it.
All you really need to do is spray yourself some clay lubber
and glide at left and right.
And you can, if you guys didn't know already
clay bar can actually be used on glass.
You know, you can use clay bar on glass, paint, metal,
you know, any kind of smooth glossy surface.
Feel free to use a clay bar on it
to decontaminate it and get it as nice
and glass smooth as possible.
So, now that I'm done with the glass
I'll show you guys my clay bar right here.
Now this clay bar was yellow and now it is covered
with all the contamination that was sitting on that glass.
So just imagine, you clean your car
and you think it's all perfect and all,
and then you clay it and find that.
You know, that's one of the most satisfying things
about clay barring,
seeing the contamination that you removed.
So now, what I'm going to do is grab my clay bar.
I'm just going to put it back into its packaging for now.
I'll sort through it later.
And then, I'm going to grab my towel here and buff off
the remainder of the clay lubricant.
I'm just going to buff it off so that we don't have
any kind of remaining clay lubricant or contaminants
sitting on the surface.
That way, when we apply our Hydro View,
we have a proper bond.
So, you know, one of the first things that I did mention
is that, you know with Hydro View,
since it's a ceramic coating,
you know with a product like this,
you don't need extensive prep but you do want to make sure
that at least you're applying it onto a clean surface
and a contaminant free surface.
That way, you have the best results.
You know, you can use it on your glass
if it is contaminated, if you wish,
you know, that's entirely up to yourself.
But to achieve the best and perfect clarity,
I would highly recommend that you clay bar
and make sure that there are no impurities
prior to applying the coat of Hydro View.
So now that we're all set and done,
I'm going to grab my bottle of Hydro View
and apply it to the glass.
- Hydro View is not just
for your ride.
You can use it on any glass surface.
You can use it on a windows, glass shower doors, mirrors,
glass tables, glass countertops,
and any other glass surface that you could think of.
- That's one of the very many beauties of Hydro View.
It's that you get that crystal clear reflection
and shine so that you have the best visibility at all times.
Especially when driving at inclement weather, you want
to make sure that you have a product like Hydro View
on your glass so that your glass repels all that water
and you have the safest driving conditions possible.
All right, guys.
So, that weather forecast was correct.
We did get some rain here in LA, a pretty decent amount.
And as you guys can see, check out those results.
So, on the driver's side you'll actually see that
the water beads up and, you know pretty much
flies right off of the surface.
Whereas on the passenger side, you'll see
that the water drags on.
Now, the biggest, you know thing to take away
from this footage is that the driver's side
beads up the water, which means
that the water doesn't want to stick to the surface.
So, as you're driving with the wind hitting it,
it's just going to kinda pretty much pull it off
of the surface, you know, lift it up,
so that you have that crystal clear clarity at all times.
Whereas on the right side, the water wants to stick.
So, with the untreated surface on the right side,
on the passenger side, you'll see that the water sticks,
it drags and makes it very very difficult to see,
especially, you know, if you're going to be driving
in inclement weather, you know
that's definitely what you don't want on your glass.
You don't want that happening, because that's a hazard.
You know, that's a very dangerous thing to do
as you drive in those inclement weather conditions
especially if you're ever trapped in a rainstorm,
thunderstorm, you want to make sure that your glass is
always crystal clear clarity because you want to make sure
that you're driving in the safest driving
conditions possible.
Hydro View also maximizes your clarity
by reducing haziness, cloudiness, and fogging
that happens on your glass.
All right, guys and there you guys have it.
As you guys saw, we achieved some pretty incredible results
on the side that we've treated on this FRS.
As you guys saw, the water does not stick,
it beads up just like I had supposed to do.
And, all in all Hydro View did exactly
what it was supposed to do,
clean up the glass and give it the amazing ceramic SI02
protection shine and clarity.
