Great job Henry Love the Claybar set from Chemical Guys also you pay for the high price waxes but you will get no better than Butter Wet Wax

[@ChemicalGuys]

Thanks for the amazing feedback!

[@stickyjs5865]

Hey I would like a video of you guys doing compounding a polishing outdoors in sun because a lot of people don’t have a garage access or sometimes even shade. I’m getting ready to tackle a huge job and doing paint correction outdoors. I think I’ll be outside before sun is way to hot

[@ChemicalGuys]

Sounds like a great video idea, we will be sure to film this video soon!

[@stickyjs5865]

Forgot to ask also can apply the sealant with a orbital at lower speeds. Only asking because I will be doing a full exterior detail and doing paint correction on my whole car and I wanna know how to approach this. May have to do wash and clay one day and next day prep and do paint correction and protectants next day

[@ChemicalGuys]

Yes, you may apply a wax and sealant with a orbital polisher. Just be sure to spread them using a finishing pad and the lowest speed setting.

Ok i am sorry my English is not 100% perfect so sometime I am not sure I understand so to start I want to put a ceramic coating to my Subaru the hydro slick hyper wax my question is I just wax my car last week so do I need to do this processing with the clay lumber or clay bar? Before I used hydro slick ceramic coating? Also can I used ceramic coating on my window my bike rack who is I stall on the back of my car anything else I should know before I start?

[@blackthug65]

So after you do this method how do you was between? Just do regular wash and wax?

[@jayp9450]

Killer combo 🔥 top it wirh spray wax 🔥. What’s the temp? Jet seal cures properly in direct sunlight? Interesting I never knew that

[@ChemicalGuys]

Top it off with your favorite spray wax! The temperature was in the 70's and as long as the surface is not too hot you will be fine applying Jetseal!

[@jayp9450]

@@ChemicalGuys cool to know cuz I be doing it early in the morning tryna rush before the sun comes out lol but jet seal and butter wet wax is gold 🔥

[@timduffus9307]

Awesome 👌

[@ChemicalGuys]

Thanks for the amazing feedback!

[@cortez4eva69]

My friend recommended to use the butter wet wax and then apply the jet seal, is it ok to do it in that order?

[@ChemicalGuys]

For best results, we recommend doing the sealant first, then follow it up with the wax.

[@tucksmith8300]

Looks good

[@lewartsimmons7294]

Thanks for filming the video at home! Henry, How long did it take to clay the whole car? Thank you!

[@ChemicalGuys]

Thanks for the feedback and it took about 15 minutes.

[@Lopezjerry1997]

Can you apply hydro blitz on top of all this? Would it make a difference?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Absolutely, add HydroBlitz to maintain your coatings while adding shine and more protection.

[@bboylorettoEight08]

So these products are meant to be used in the sun ☀️ ? The curing time isn’t as fast as most other waves or liquid sprays?

[@ChemicalGuys]

You may use them in the sun as long as the surface of the car is not too hot.

[@skiv7777]

Do I need to strip the wax when I rewash? My bird dropping stains also didn’t come out with the clay bar and wax 😢 I might need to compound

[@dathanjack-vy8yy]

Definitely need cutting compound for deep stuff like that or even heavy clay bar

[@matiasg97]

Could you use those products for windows as well?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Yes, you may!

[@pierrep2649]

It’s the jet seal ok to apply with an orbital and wax type pad

[@ChemicalGuys]

Yes, just be sure to use a finishing pad and spread it on speed setting 1.

[@pierrep2649]

@@ChemicalGuys got it. Thanks.

[@franklinpalacios2404]

What kind of microfiber towel are you using?

[@pauljohnson7219]

If my car is super contaminated- which it is- how do I know when to stop? does it need to be perfect?

[@ChemicalGuys]

We recommend claying the surface until it becomes smooth as glass then proceed with the next steps.

[@jeremiahlbfg2417]

Can I send y’all pictures of the stuff I have on my truck and rims to help me out with what I need to get

[@ChemicalGuys]

Yes, send it via IG or FB!

[@kelancole5947]

Every time you guys have a new video to pop up it makes me sick now. I had like maybe $300 of stuff from you guys, bought over time not at once of course, and it was in a container in the back. Someone stole my whole container. I had the whole set up perfect and a good hose pipe. All gone because someone thought they just deserved what I had worked and paid for. 💔💔💔

[@steellegion1490]

This video is flawed from the start. You should not being any of this in direct sunlight.

[@tigris4149a2]

The point of this series is to be at home in the sun. Go watch the 1st video

[@steellegion1490]

@@tigris4149a2 any product you apply in sun will be inferior in shine and protection and definitely durability. You have a garage right behind you and even most apartments have car ports. Buy decent products and do it correctly. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! We recommend checking out the first video. This series is intended for anyone that does not have a garage, shade, or a detailing bay. There are a lot of people that ask us this question that is why we did this video. Btw the sun will not inferior the protection and durability because we clayed the surface to allow the sealant and wax to go into the pores of the paint. If you don't clay and just apply a sealant or wax that is when the sun will make it wear off faster.
