hey what's up guys welcome back to another episode of Chemical Guys Detail Garage today
we have a Tesla Model 3 in the shop and as you guys can see it has paint transfer. Unfortunately
this car was left outside and someone sideswiped it and just drove off, but today in this video I'll be
showing you how to properly remove paint transfer from painted surfaces using a Hex-Logic Hand Pad
and VSS but before we get into the polishing part we're going to start off with the beginning
the beginning is going to be considered by using EcoSmart Waterless Wash as you guys can see I don't
have running water and all i want to do is just wipe down the surface so i have my EcoSmart Waterless
Wash it has a wax base to it so it's actually going to enhance the shine it's also going to
protect it but in this occasion i just want to use it just so I could just go ahead and clean off
the surface so before using it I'll just shake up EcoSmart Waterless Wash then I'll go to the bumper
and I'll just lightly mist it and I also want to show you guys that using EcoSmart Waterless Wash
is not going to remove this paint transfer because this paint transfer is embedded itself into the
paint of this Tesla so I just went ahead and just wiped it off and nothing came off but by me just
washing it using EcoSmart Water Wash I just made sure I don't have any dirt grime or filth that is
sitting on the paint like this whenever i go to clay bar it it won't be embedding itself deeper
into the paint so the reason why i want to move on to a clay bar process is because if i rub my
hand on it it has contamination all over it so all of that contamination has embedded itself
into the pores of the paint and if i grab my vss polish and i start polishing whether it's using
by machine or by hand i don't want to be pushing those contaminates deeper into the paint so today
i'll be using the light duty clay bar the light duty clay bar is going to remove any contamination
that has embedded itself into the bumper of this paint so i'll just open up my little flap and then
i already have a little piece cut off so chemicals clay bars they're actually very big and has this
plastic film over it so whenever using it just take it off put it back in here and store it away
the reason why we always recommend using the small portion is just because if you drop it
you misplace it you have more to work with when you can just come back to this little box open up
and get another piece or just in case if you have a super contaminated car and you need to replace
your clay bar you have a secondary piece right here so i'll put this back into my free loader
and i'm keeping my arsenal closed down here using my free loader the freeloader is also available
on our website on cameras.com but i also need to have a lubricant to clay the surface of this car
so i'll be using clay luber the reason why i want to pair a lubricant with a clay bar
is because this clay bar is super sticky i mean if i put it onto this bottle you guys
can see it just sticks onto it that's how sticky it is so by having the lubricant like clay luber
it's going to help me glide the clay bar across the surface of this paint without scratching it
or cause clay mark so all you need to do is just go to the surface you're working on lightly mist
on it and i'll grab my clay bar and i'll knead it out into a three width finger a three width
finger is more than enough to do this whole entire bumper and this small piece can actually go ahead
and clay up this whole entire car about two to three times because it doesn't have that much
contamination that's how i went with the light duty clay bar after i spray some onto my bumper
i'll spray some onto my clay as well and i'll just go to it and i'll just start cleaning side to side
and this is just ensuring myself i don't have any contamination on the paint because i like
i told you guys i do not want to rub any more contamination deeper into this paint because
i don't want to cause scratches or swirls let me make sure i get down here too and i'm just giving
a couple passes so like this when i go to polish it out using my hex logic cam pad it's contaminant
free and my polish is going to help me break down all the contamination and the paint transfer
that's on this tesla bumper so after clay bar in it i'll put everything back into its place i'll
put that back onto my cubby i'll put this back into my clay bar and i'll store this away for next
time now i'll just grab a clean microfiber towel i'll buff off the residue of the clay lubricant
and now it is time to get into the polishing part so now that we're going to move on to the
polishing part this is where it's going to start removing all the the contaminants and the paint
transfer but before we get into the polishing part if i grab my hand and i start rubbing it side to
side you guys don't hear any contamination and any time you polish your car whether it's by using
it by hand or using a machine we always recommend clay barring so you won't push those contaminants
deeper into the paint so today i'll be using vss scratch and swirl remover vss is going to be
able to break down scratches and swirls as well as paint transfer on painted surfaces glossy plastics
as well so before using it just shake it up and the reason why i didn't use a polisher today is
because it does have this paint chip right here and down here so i want to prevent any high heat
or any fast motion going over that surface so i'll grab my vss scratch and swirl remover i'll put
one two three onto my hex logic hand pad and i am using the orange one the orange one has a medium
duty cut and since i am going to be adding a lot of tension to this paint i'll i will also
spray down my hand pad using pad conditioner just i could moisten the pad whenever i go side to side
and up and down so now we'll go to the surface we're going to start removing the paint transfer
we'll blotch it out and i'm just going to start working in side to side
and then immediately you start seeing that vss starts breaking down all this paint transfer
that unfortunately is on this tesla once i go sideways i'll go up and down and i'll just work it
in until starts completely breaking it down so anyways guys let's break it down
all right guys you guys can see vss and the handhex logic hand pad did an amazing
job at removing the contamination that was sitting on this part of the bumper
now we do have a curve to it and we have some more contamination down here so all you
want to do is just grab vss scratch and swirl remover and then you'll add a couple more dots
to your hand hex logic hand pad and we do offer the hand hex hand pad in different colors we offer
it in the orange one the white one and the black one the black one is just to spread out waxes
and then the orange one has the most cut to it and the white one has the lightest cut to it
but in this occasion since we are dealing with a lot of contamination and paint transfer we went
with the orange pad so since i am going side to side i'll grab my pad conditioner once again i'll
respray my hand pad just like reduce tension on the surface of paint i'll blotch it out
just keep this in mind i didn't went with the polisher approach because i do have this
paint chip right here and i don't want to add high speed to it so i'll just blotch it out
and all you want to do like i was telling you guys just go side to side and up and
down and it immediately starts breaking down the contamination so once you go vertical you can
start going horizontal or vice versa and like this you get the contamination fully out of your paint
all right guys so now that we just finished working off the contamination off this bumper
i'll just grab a clean microfiber towel and just buff off the residue left by vss and you guys can
see the results are night and day different using the hex logic hand pad and vss i went ahead and
removed all the contamination and paint transfer that sat on this bumper right here but obviously
there's gonna be certain areas unfortunately that can't come back like right here the paint actually
got chipped and down here as well but i will take this result any given day over the results
i had before with the bumper looking disgusting and has a lot of contamination on it so guys
