- What's going on Chemical Guys family?
Happy Holidays and thanks so much for tuning in.
Today we have Joseph's beautiful Velocitor N
in the shop or outside of the shop,
because he just got this hood installed
and he wants us to protect it right away.
And since we're outside it's not too hot
but we are in direct sunlight want to use a product
that's very versatile and very easy to use.
So we're gonna show you how to properly protect
your carbon fiber using JetSeal.
To begin we're going to use Speed Wiper,
one of my favorite quick detail sprays.
And just gently pick up any of the light dust
that's on the surface,
and also using a Happy Ending microfiber towel
this is very soft and plush.
So this will gently pick up anything
that's on the surface without scratching it.
So that light layer of dirt that was on the vehicle
and now we're revealing the natural weave
of the carbon fiber.

And what's great is carbon fiber really showcases
the racing aspect of this vehicle
the more performance oriented style.
So we wanna make sure that we protect it as soon as possible
because if you're unfamiliar with carbon fiber
it's very sensitive to UV rays.
And if it's left unprotected or untreated for too long,
it will actually start to discolor or it can fade and crack.
So its best to put some type of sealant
or a coating on there as soon as possible.
But since Joseph's got this car outside
and it sits outside most of the time
we're going to put on JetSeal.
Which is a very easy to use product
and it also is very layer-able
and it works well with other coatings.
Continue the same process of wiping away the light dust,
any fingerprints, because we wanna make sure that
the surface is nice and clean
before we put on our coating.
And we are outside of The Detail Garage
so it is a little noisy.

Okay beautiful, so now that we've removed all
the spent product as well as the light dust that
was on there you can see the towel has gotten
slightly dirty it's a little cloudy whips under the
mess that we picked up.
We're going to move on to the protection stage.
Using JetSeal and a microfiber applicator pad,
and I'm not picking these up off the floor
there's a bucket down here
so that's a little behind the scenes for you guys.
So JetSeal, this lasts up to twelve months
and it's going to give you a durable layer
of protection against any kind of harsh elements.
It also kinda gives your car some hydro-phobic properties
but this is also going to enhance the gloss
of any gloss finish and it also helps to enhance
the weave of carbon fiber.
Just gonna work it back and forth.
I like to use a cross-hatching pattern
and I work from the center out this way I'm not
reaching over areas that I've already coated or protected.
But the cross-hatching pattern ensures
that we coat the entire surface evenly,
it doesn't leave any high-spots
and it also makes sure that we don't miss any areas.
Add a little bit more.
But you can also apply this by a machine
if you have a dual-action.
A lot of people ask if you can use
a rotary to apply your coatings.
The reason why you shouldn't use a rotary is
because even with a soft finishing pad
on the lowest speed setting it still has the potential to
cut the paint or correct the paint
which leaves a light haze
or it's also know as tiger stripes.
So if you are going to apply with a machine
make sure it's a dual-action or a random orbital.
It'll give you a very fine coat
which saves you product, saves you time
obviously with the application.
Saves you time with the buff off as well.
And JetSeal only takes a couple of minutes
to actually cure to the surface so,
since it's a little warmer out here
it's not blazing hot or anything like that
but it's kinda warmer it'll dry pretty quickly
so this only takes about five minutes as I had said
and we'll come back with a clean microfiber towel
and buff off the spent product
but in the meantime you guys can check these products
on our website chemicalguys.com.
