- Somehow The Cruz is.
- Welcome back. Yo were here.
Detail Garage,
- What is up!
- Chemical Guys.
J Cruz, The Cruz Show, real 92.3,
LA's new home for Hip Hop, I Heart Radio.
I'm here with my guy, Andy.
This the vibe.
Andy what's good?
- Guys, today, we are teaching J Cruz
on how to protect his beauty of a RAV4 guys.
- Thank you man, cause this thing was in bad shape
- Sure, I mean, it wasn't too too bad.
- You can be honest, you can be honest,
- Okay, it was Jake. It was, it was pretty bad man.
But today we're going to
and show him how to
- Yeah.
and use our Hydro Line, guys.
We already went ahead and prep the vehicle.
We went ahead and used the waterless wash.
Clay bared it with our OG clay bar,
and then use our
amazing wipe out to wipe out
any oils that were left behind on the actual vehicle guys.
So with that being said,
we're going to go in and start off using our HydroCharge.
HydroCharge is a one-year ceramic coating,
that not only is going to
and deliver those hydrophobic properties,
- Yeah.
but it also enhances the shine of your car.
The color of your car,
gives you anti-static properties that actually push away
dust from being attracted to the vehicle.
And then not only that, but it gives you that nice,
easy form of washing the vehicle
and drying it at the end too, as well.
- Nice.
- So it's real quick and easy to apply.
All you got to use is a microfiber applicator,
- Those can be bought here.
- Yes, sir, and they come in different colors.
You always want to make sure you rip off the tags.
The tags have to be on there just to show you
what the products actually made out of
- Sure, yeah
- Right, so
- Once you're ready to use it, just rip it off.
So it doesn't drag across your car.
- Exactly, tags cause scratches,
you don't want that at all.
- Okay, fosho
So with that being said,
all you're going to go and simply do
is open your actual bottle.
And I usually like going ahead
and having it on your stream option.
So there's two different options, there's stream,
and then there's a spray option.
All you're going to do,
three little lines onto the actual surface.
- Yup
- And then from there,
you're going to start off
by applying in straight lines.
You always want to do a cross hatch panel
covering 50% of what you went ahead and pass through before.
- And why is that?
- You want to have an even spread.
Whenever you do a ceramic coating.
It's real quick and easy to get high spots.
High spots are pretty much areas that you leave the,
the ceramic coating on there for too long.
And it leaves kind of like a rainbow effect on there,
that there-
- We don't want that.
- You don't want that you don't want that you definitely
- Right, you want to complete it.
- Right. Rainbows are nice,
but you definitely don't want rainbows on your car.
- Right.
- It's real easy to remove.
All you got to do is polish it off.
But like I said,
if you don't have to do that process,
why add another step to your actual work, right.
So once you do that,
and the surface is nicely coated,
you want to let this the actual HydroCharge,
let this sit there for at least 30 seconds to a minute,
now because the fact that we are in an enclosed environment,
you want to let it sit there for a minute,
just so it could bond correctly to the actual paint .
- Okay.
- Once you actually-
- So it's working right now?
- It's working right now, it's doing its job, right.
- It's doing it's job, okay.
- We really did our part by, by laying it onto the surface.
- Right, and then it's got it from there, okay.
- Right here, what it's doing,
it's pretty much, it's curing.
It's curing to bond correctly out to your actual paint.
- Yeah.
- Once it does that, a lot of people they ask us, well,
why is it that you're removing it with a microfiber towel
after you apply it?
It's due to the fact that
because you don't have to let it sit there
and let it dry, right.
The properties of the SiO2 is already embedding into
the actual clear coat, into the actual paint.
That's delivering that protection, that's shine right.
- Okay.
- And that's the cool thing about ceramic coating.
Ceramic coating is you're getting pretty much
the best of both worlds.
You're getting the ultimate shine
and you're getting the ultimate protection.
- Very Dope. You know what, I appreciate this man,
because someone like me who doesn't necessarily understand
how the products work.
Andy and the team at Detail Garage,
they, they walk you through the process.
And he mentioned earlier, there are classes,
there are classes, you know, that you can take.
And they, they,
they educate you and they walk you through every step.
They don't just use technical terms that they only know.
And then, you know, - Yes sir
- allow you to figure it out.
It's actually very, it's very helpful.
The way that they break it down.
- Hundred percent, a hundred percent.
Yeah, we're here to help you guys out.
- Yes sir.
- And pretty much get you guys into the right products
that you need for your vehicle.
- Yeah man.
- So it's been roughly around like 30 seconds to a minute.
All we're going to do is we're going to use a
different towel, we're going to use our workhorse towels.
And the reason why I like using these towels,
get a little bit more contact onto the actual surface
to remove any of the, of the oils or waxes,
or in this case, ceramic coating.
- Yes sir.
- So all you're going to do
is just pretty much wipe off the surface.
- You can see it, man.
- Flip it around to a dry side
and you want to just make sure that you remove
every single part of the actual leftover
ceramic that you apply it on there.
- Sure.
- Once you do so,
you're good to go,
and ready, right.
Do you want to go out and try it out yourself?
- I do. - There you go.
- Let's do this.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- Yeah.
- So, all right, remember what I said,
you're going to apply three little lines.
- Three lines right?
- And this looks like fun to you.
Cause it really is right.
Like learning all of this stuff, it's really fun.
But this is a, you know, and,
and they say this all the time,
you know, with their classes,
cause they do have classes.
You can start your own business, really with Chemical Guys,
they have everything you need.
They have your back every step of the way.
And they're going to make your work look like,
man you've been doing this.
- That's why offer those classes.
I mean, we offer classes from even just your basic person
that wants to just learn, right.
- Oh yeah, oh yeah.
- How to just take care of their vehicle.
So all the way from a five day massive of course,
that pretty much shows you the ins and outs from marketing
to how to detail, to how to run your business.
We're trying to help out people, right.
- [J Cruz] Yeah, yeah.
- We're trying to help people learn.
how to use our product,
- Yeah, yeah.
- And realize that-
- And ride with it.
- Yeah, ride with it and realize that,
Hey, you could make a business out of it.
- Sure can.
- And make it a successful business.
And that's what we want.
We want to make everybody that comes in and takes a
five day master course to
help them make their business successful.
- But like every business, it takes hard work,
you know what I mean, and you got it,
yeah, like you gotta, you gotta put in the work
and then Chemical Guys will do the rest.
- I don't think it's ever looked this way.
Aside from like the first day I got the car.
- Nice and protected.
Nice and clean, right.
Nice and smooth, right.
But it doesn't stop there, right.
The more protection the better.
- Absolutely.
- So, with that being said
is that we're going to use HydroSlick.
Now the difference on it,
cool thing about this guy is that
you're not only able to apply it on your paint,
but you're able to apply it on your headlights.
You're able to apply it on your windows.
You're able to apply it on your rims.
And then in your case you don't have any chrome,
but you're able to apply it on chrome or mount too as well.
Right?
- Yeah.
- So it gives you the same protection,
and hydrophobic properties that you want on the paint.
You'll get it on all the other surfaces as well.
- How is that possible for all the other surfaces.
- It's a hyper wax, right.
- Yeah.
- So it's has a properties over ceramic coating,
SiO2 right,
but it's applied like a wax.
So it's easy to apply, easy to come off.
- Okay.
- But just a lot more durable than a wax itself.
- Fosho
- So it's real quick and easy to apply.
Same concept, we're going to
and use our microfiber applicators.
And same thing you want to always want to
remove your applicator,
your applicator, your tag, I mean.
And then shake it out now, and make sure all the properties
are nicely mixed in with each other.
You could tell opposed to it being a spray liquidy form.
You got more of a gel form, right.
All you're going to do
is you're going to have your applicator.
You're going to apply
six little pea size dots.
- Okay.
- Once you do that,
all you're simply going to do
is bloch onto your surface.
- Yup.
- Right, you don't want to
and just have the product in just one area.
You want to spread it out evenly.
I've bloched it off first and then I spread.
- Got it.
- So once I spread,
if you were able to tell from the HydroCharge compared to
this one, this one's a lot more thicker, right.
It doesn't spread out like a liquid.
Spreading out more of like, kind of like a wax.
If you've seen how a wax is applied.
- Yeah.
- Right, you don't see too much of a haze on there.
Remember same properties.
It's going to deliver the same result.
For protection for up to a year.
But just in a different form, right.
- Yeah yeah.
- So once apply.
You just want to
and let it sit there for those 30 second to a minute.
Once you do that,
you're just going to wipe off again.
- Cool man, so right here, we got our HydroView, man.
- Yup.
- Have you ever used this product before?
- I have not, talk to me man.
- Sweet, HydroView is an amazing product, bro.
It's a SiO2 to infused window cleaner.
So you're not only cleaning the surface,
but you're also protecting at the same time.
And the great thing about it is if you already went ahead
and applied HydroSlick on there, guess what,
You don't have to apply it so often you're just
and recondition it with this guy here.
- So it cleans it and protects it?
- Cleans and protects bro.
- Money, money.
- Real quick and easy.
Now, I love using,
to clean up my windows,
are our waffle weave towel.
- Yeah.
- I have two of them for a reason.
One is spray onto the actual surface
of the towel, wipe down.
And the other ones will remove any of the
leftover residue behind it, right.
- Okay, yup.
So real quick and easy.
A lot of people have the tendency of spraying the window
- Right. - Yeah.
- And that's perfectly fine,
but we don't want to do is you don't want to do
too much of it, right.
So real quick and easy.
Couple of little mists on there.
Two mists onto your actual spray,
onto your actual towel itself.
So wiping.
Now the great thing about HydroView.
Is not only that it's not going to leave any streaks behind,
but everybody hates that little morning dew, right.
- Yup
- That little morning moisture on the actual windows.
That HydroView actually reduces that.
And you don't have that morning moisture.
So just look at the difference already, right off the bat.
Nothing crazy here.
- A thousand times.
- Here, I've only used one towel, right.
It's still kind of dirty,
- But there's a clear, clear line itself, right.
Real quick and easy, nothing crazy.
- Yeah.
- And mind you just check out how that towel was.
- Wow.
- Right, now, to get an even better result,
before you actually use your HydroView on there.
- Yeah.
- I usually always recommend cleaning if,
if it's as dirty as, this always cleaning it up with our
streak free first to remove that heavy grime off of the
windows and then follow through using our HydroView to go
ahead and get that not only to clean the agencies,
but also that protection onto the actual surface itself
- Yeah, sure.
- Here itself, I mean, you still have,
if you feel it, it's smooth.
- Yeah.
- You have some contamination,
contamination could land on windows too as well.
- Okay.
- And you could do the clay bar treatment here too.
Get it nice and smooth, and then you apply your HydroSlick,
your HydroView, and it lasts a lot longer.
- Well, that was amazing.
I appreciate it, man.
- No worries, no worries man.
- Thank you so much.
And again,
thank you for explaining it to me.
- Definitely.
- In a way that I would understand,
- Definitely, hundred percent.
- Because there was a lot of newbies out there,
obviously, right.
And you know, I said this off camera,
I'm going to say it right now.
These are products that you didn't know
your car desperately needed.
- Hundred percent, hundred percent.
- For real, man.
- And like I said,
we really went ahead and applied our HydroCharge,
our HydroSlick onto the windows, onto the headlights,
onto the paint itself.
And like I said, HydroSlick, HydroCharge.
You could if you're applying
it on your paint itself.
You use something like HydroSpeed,
to recondition it, right.
You don't have to apply those products more than once,
or more than twice a year, right.
Something with HydroSpeed is going to
and recondition the properties.
- Yup.
- So you don't have to use it so frequently, right.
Same thing with using our HydroSlick
on your windows itself.
- Yeah.
- Opposed to using that so frequently you could
and maintain it using HydroView.
Real quick and easy as you guys saw,
nothing, no rocket science.
And then to top it off,
if you want to use a proper soap to recondition
the properties on throughout the whole vehicle itself,
you want to pair it up with HydroSuds
And pair it up with our big mouth foam cannon.
Or easily any of our foam cannons,
that we have on our Chemical Guys website.
Or even at Detail Garage Store.
- So these are for the interior?
- Correct, yes.
- Talk to me on how to use those real quick.
- So pretty much your HydroInterior is pretty much going to
be for anything like your vinyl,
or any plastics on the interior.
It's going to deliver those
anti-static properties that push away dust from being
attracted to the vehicle
the inside, right.
Everybody hates that.
Everybody loves rolling,
rolling with their car with the windows down.
- Yeah.
- But hates that dust particles in the interior.
That's going to to happen, it's going to help prevent from,
from UV rays too as well.
How to use it.
- [J Cruz] Yup.
- [Andy] All you gotta do is just simply
and grab one of our workhorse towels.
You never want to go in and spray directly onto the surface.
Anytime you're doing any type of detailing,
you always want,
and especially an interior, cause over-spray, right.
- Sure.
- You might spray it on a surface that you
don't want it to get on to.
Spray it onto a towel.
And all you're going to do is just wipe down the surface,
cleans up the surface,
but it also protects it from those UV rays, right?
- [J Cruz] I have kids.
I have a four year old and a six month old.
So they're constantly throwing stuff around.
- I got the same ordeal.
- Eating snacks back there as well.
- Tossin it.
- It's just, it's all over the place.
Right, spilling juice.
- Yes, yes, so with that being said,
I got kids myself too, as well, right.
And, and you know, a little chaos in the back,
- Yeah.
- But yeah, with the help of Chemical Guys,
I was able to use HydroThread.
Now, HydroThread it's real quick and easy to
and use, you always want to
and pair it up with something like one of our brushes.
The reason why you want to go in and do that is you want to
spray very generously onto the actual surface, brush it in,
let it sit there for 15 minutes,
and then you're going to spray another coat
onto the actual surface.
Let it dry up and you're ready to go.
- Wow,
- [Andy] Real quick and easy.
It's going to protect it.
Especially for those spills, you know, the bottles.
- Yup.
- The juices, all those things.
You're not going to have to worry about that.
- [J Cruz] What else, and like the crackers and all that.
- [Andy] Exactly.
- [Andy] All those little things right there come in play.
This is going to protect it.
And the great thing about it is I hate stains, right.
- [J Cruz] Yeah.
- [Andy] This is going to prevent those stains.
- [J Cruz] Amazing.
- [Andy] So, real quick and easy.
- [J Cruz] Prevent it
- [Andy] Prevent it, prevents it man.
So , real quick and easy to use.
It's not rocket science.
Like I said, anybody can do it.
If I can do it.
- Yeah, naw, if I could understand,
everybody can understand.
I promise you.
