- What's up guys.
And welcome back to another episode
of "Chemical Guys Detail Garage."
I hope you guys enjoyed that sweet little montage
of us watching this BMW 850 CSI edition.
Now it's inside, it's dry and it's time for some detailing.
So let's get started.
So now that the wash is out the way,
we can look at the paint, inspect it,
and see what it really needs.
Now so far from looking at the paint,
I could tell you that there is a ton,
a water spots on the paint that's super bad.
We did do a test spot on the backside over there
with some water spot remover gel.
It did a great job.
However, there's still a lot of scratches and swirls
underneath that coat of water spots.
So just to kinda knock out two birds with one stone,
we're just going to
and just give the whole thing a polish
because it really needs it.
This car is a 1994.
The paint looks pretty well taken care of.
However, those water spots,
they are making this paint look very nasty.
So to begin this process,
we're actually just going to
and start with some good old Clay Bar.
So now that the surface is clean and dry,
we can decontaminate it.
Now, the paint it's not too rough we going to shape.
So that's why I'm deciding to go
with the light gray Clay Bar.
And this is great to pull off
any kind of embedded contaminants
that are inside the paint work
prior to us getting to that polishing stage.
And Clay Bar it's extremely easy to use.
You guys have seen us use it a million times
here on this channel,
but I'm still going to show you guys anyways
because it's that easy.
So I have my light gray Clay Bar, my Clay Luber,
let's make our way to the car
and let's get this process started.
All right, guys, so without further ado,
let's get into this clean.
So right here, you guys can see it.
There's a ton of water spots on the paint.
Now we're just going to clear it
before we get to that polishing stage.
And we're just going to simply spray a coat of Clay Luber
onto the area that we're going to be cleaning.
And Clay Luber is great
because it's a sick,
it's slick synthetic lubricant
that allows you to glide your Clay Bar left and right
on your paint work.
And it makes it super slick
so that you can do it very quickly, very easily
and while preventing the chance of you wearing your paint.
So whenever you're clay barring,
you want to make sure
that you have the extreme amount of slickness
that way you don't cause any kind of damage to your paint
when you're trying to fix it.
And this is super easy to use
and it makes the experience much easier.
Now the good thing about this paint
is that it's not too bad.
So I just literally did this little whole section
in about 30 seconds.
And now I want to do grabbing my clearing towel
and buff off the excess of the clay lubricant.
And then after this part,
we're just going to grab our machine.
And we're going to start polishing this section here.
All right guys, so now I'm done clay barring
I do want you guys to come in a little bit closer
and check out the paint.
You guys will see that there's still all those water spots.
A common misconception about Clay Bar
is that it can remove like scratches and stuff like that,
or any kind of imperfection on your paint.
However, I just want to demonstrate to you guys
that it sometimes can in this case,
it won't because these water spots
are staying into the clear coat.
Now, in order to remove something like this,
we're most likely going to have to polish it out.
So that's what we're going to do.
We're going to grab our machine set up, our polish,
and then we're going to start on this process.
All right guys, so I have my machine set up here.
Now the machine I'm going to be using
is a Torq 15DA polisher.
I like this polisher because it has a 15 millimeter throw.
As you guys can see this BMW has a ton of large flat panels,
especially this hood.
That thing is humongous.
Now the pad that we're going to be combining our machine
with is going to be a green heavy polishing pad.
Now this pad is great because it's a combination
between the orange and the white hex-logic polishing pad.
So this pad takes the best of both worlds
and combine them into one.
So this has the nice squishy composition
of the white hex-logic polishing pad.
However, the surface it's a little bit more
on the rough side, kind of like the orange one
so that we get a nice medium cut.
However, this pad is also great for refining.
So this is great for one step products like VSS
or in this case,
we're going to be using
our P4 Precision Paint Perfection Polish.
Now this polish is great,
especially for things like this,
because the paint is not too neglected
is mainly the water spots
that are really bad with a light little layer
of scratches and swirls.
So this product is great as a one step solution,
and that's where we're going to be using today for this video.
So I'm going to apply about five.
Whoa.
So I'm going to apply
about five dime-sized drops here.
I'm going to set my bottle down
and then I'm also going to grab some pad conditioner
just to make sure that my pad is nicely lubricated.
One light spray.
That's all you need.
And now you're ready to start polishing.
So right now that the surface is clean and decontaminated,
all I'm just going to do
is start off by blotting it out
on this area that I'm going to be working it in.
Now I'm going to be working in this two by two section here.
So I'm going to be working on this little section
that I brought all my product in.
I'm not going to go stretch too far
to the headlamp and or too high up over here.
So I'm just going to try to work in this area
and get the utmost precision in this area.
All right, guys, so at this point of the process,
we just did this little test section,
and honestly the results are incredible
from just a one step solution.
I'm super happy with the results we achieved right here.
It's great to know that once that polish,
like before gave us these incredible results,
and now I can't wait to do the rest of the car.
So that's what we're going to do right now.
We're going to do the rest of the car.
That's right, the hood all the way around, even the roof,
because the roof is pretty bad as well, do the whole thing.
And then we're going to come back and then just top it off
with some products to give this baby a nice shine
All right guys, and we're back.
We just finished polishing the BMW and man,
this thing looks incredible.
The paint looks much darker.
It has a lot more depth.
It looks much more slick.
And overall, we brought this baby back to life.
Now the next step in this detailing process
is going to be protection.
But before we apply protection,
I do want to go over a product
that I feel like a lot of you guys know about already.
But for those that don't,
I'm going to put you guys up on game.
Black Light Glaze.
Now, if you have a black car,
this product definitely needs to live in your arsenal.
Black Light Glaze as tons of depth shine.
And it also fills
in any kind of micro swirls and imperfections.
So let's say you did not do any polishing at all.
You can apply a product like Black Light Glaze
to temporarily hide those scratches and swirls
and make your paint look much better.
Now, in this sense,
I am still going to be applying a coat of black light
just because I polish the paint,
does not mean that I can't add it.
This is also going to add to the shine
and the depth of the paint.
So this goes on just like a wax.
So if you apply the carnuaba wax,
the cream wax goes on nice and easy.
And the only difference between this and a wax
is that what the product like black light,
you want to let the microscope fillers
kind of fill into those imperfections.
So you do want to let us say for anywhere
from about 10 to 15 minutes.
Now, once we apply Black Light Glaze,
we are going to be applying it with our machine,
with our blue finishing pad.
And then once we're done removing it,
we're going to top it off with some Butter Wet Wax,
same thing with the machine as well.
We're going to be applying it by machines,
to save some time and effort.
Butter Wet Wax is going to bring up the overall shine
of the polish that we put into this,
the condition of the pain,
along with the combination of the Black Light Glaze
on the paint.
So that's just going to further emphasize the shine.
So if you guys are a shine fanatic,
glaze is a great way to do it
and then top it off with the wax.
So Butter Wet Wax super zero apply.
You could apply it by machine
with the Black Hex-Logic finishing pad on speed setting one,
and that's pretty much it.
So that's what we're going to do right now.
We're going to
and top it off some Black Light Glaze,
some Butter Wet Wax and show you guys those final results.
