How long of a protection will you get with that job you done. 😊

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! These steps will provide 12 months of protection!

[@DrTentaCulo]

We know it’s 15 minutes to let sit then buff it off but……. How much time in between each product from glaze sealant and wax?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Glaze, sealant and wax coats can be applied almost immediately after one another. Allow about 10 to 15 minutes.

[@rayraylsx1788]

Can I apply jet sealant on top of my car if I just got it paint corrected and ceramic coated?

[@TheMasterdestroyer]

@chemicalguys been searching your website for those exact microfiber applicators. They look tall and brick like. Are they on your site ? If so what's the name of?

[@alexledford4747]

Wash [with Chemical Guys Citrus Strip Wash to clean the zurface and strip away any old oils or protectants.] Clay bar. Compound. Polish. Wax. Seal. Amirite?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Following the Chemical Guys Detailing Flowchart, we recommend to apply sealant before wax.

[@corradolemme7282]

Seal and wax

[@Navid327]

Hello if I am layering all these products on top of another, am I not essentially getting the functions and propoerties of only the topmost layer i.e the wax? I mean if I am coating the ceramic infused hydroslick with a glaze, then a sealant and then wax, am I getting any of the propoerties of the ceramic? Please clarify

[@SnailHouseProjects]

In for this answer as well..... This has always confused me too. I have seen Hydroslick videos saying that you can add a layer of protection after hydroslick but in my mind I see Hydroslick as being what should be the top layer....

[@nicholosk7280]

Thank you for the Best video I have seen 😀! I am learning so much watching your demonstrations! Could you please have another video on using the Clay bar process. Thank you.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Happy detailing!!

[@chriscaporiccio3896]

Can I reapply a glaze over the butter wet wax?

[@iangeorge6409]

Yes, but it'll not last for long. A layer of sealant or wax over the glaze will extend its longevity.

[@LeviJules]

Y’all keep dropping info at the best times! Day off tomorrow and my ‘21 TB RS is needing a reaaaaaalll touch up! Cheers, always excited to see more!!

[@ChemicalGuys]

🤩 Enjoy your detailing products!

[@shadowviper957]

When do you apply the glaze if your doing hydrocharge,then hydroslick?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Apply glaze after HydroCharge and HydroSlick.

[@joshuabowers2304]

I clay barred, used C4 and P4 then followed up with HydroBlitz a couple of weeks ago. Can I just wash and apply the Butter Wet Wax? And can it be applied with a wax pad on my buffer?

[@chadsantiago1803]

@ChemicalGuys question about ur microfiber applicator and microfiber wash do u use it once? or do you wash it so you can use it again?

[@mikeakamikeybwoii]

I went straight from clay to bitter wax, can I redo the other steps and rewax without claying another time?

[@DuesGibGolfandLife]

Im about to get a brand new car. Would I Clean slate, Iron remover, clay, wax, jet seal?

[@MrHarveywuk]

Hey so do we no longer need to wait 12 hours between using jet seal and a wax? Thanks for your videos

[@simplescents3309]

I used that butter wax in the outside elements today. And fk the haze was difficult to take off

[@kennethpelt158]

Love the video! Is it a good idea to wax a car if you have a ceramic coating?

[@madmaxblaster]

As long as the wax you're using is coating specific. If you're using regular wax, then no. The coating is repelling that wax and it's getting wasted, imo.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Absolutely! Enhance shine while providing protection by layering ceramic with your favorite glaze, sealant and/or wax.

[@SnailHouseProjects]

@@ChemicalGuys For Hydroslick, can I apply JetSeal then Butterwet wax ON TOP of the HyrdoSlick?? or is the sequence different?

[@nathanlindo3404]

Can you was you car as normal when it gets dirty after applying all these coats and sealants, great videos by the way been a fan for long time

[@deepakverma8608]

Would love to see video why clay baring your car is important

[@ChemicalGuys]

Great suggestion!!

[@rickraub5448]

So the only time you use a RO machine is applying a compound or polish? Can you use a buffer pad on the RO machine to buff off glazes or ceramics?

[@waltercordero2176]

Actually yes, you can use it but take a look what pound you have to use to apply, I remember there is a video in the product page where show how to apply it using RO Machine and I remeber you must use White, Black and Red pound to apply the product

[@ai.mond-taro7642]

I'm new to this, I just purchased products from CG. May I ask if I can apply some products in the following order: Wet Mirror -> Extreme Top Coat -> Butter Wet Wax?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Absolutely! That is the recommended order of application.

[@jasonyantha2660]

If I have a ceramic paste wax, do I put it on first or last?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hello! Yes, apply ceramic to a bare surface and then it can be layered with glaze, sealant and/or wax.

[@oso78122]

Hi, how often do you compound and polish your paint

[@DBusiness85]

Great video, thank you for it. If I wash my black car using the BlackLight wash and the BlackLight glaze (I think that’s what it is) do I really need to put anything else on it?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Great combination! Black Light Glaze is great for adding depth and gloss however it provides little protection which is why we follow up with sealant and/or wax.

[@Bassguy2024]

I have a lot of plastic pieces on my car. Do you need to tap that off when using these products?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Yes, we recommend masking them off to avoid damaging raw trims on cars. Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!

[@JoeRodriguez-p8t]

Can you make or share the in-depth video on why to decontaminate the paint video, please!!

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Check out this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raa9iJaIZ62WqK8si=cDvQUALZmsbYJqam

[@chriscaporiccio3896]

Love the content. After using a DA, etc. What is the best wax to use? I like butter wax for sure, can that be applied with a DA or no.. etc?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Absolutely! Apply Butter Wet Wax with a DA using a Black Hex-Logic Pad on the lowest speed setting.

[@chriscaporiccio3896]

@@ChemicalGuys thank you for the solid information..

[@rocker19061]

Hey, and what about hydroslick? When sould i apply it?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Apply HydroSlick to a bare surface and then it can be layered with your favorite glaze, sealant and/or wax.

[@ASnyder17]

How often should I use wax?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Wax can be reapplied as often as desired, it is recommended to add a fresh coat every four to six months.

[@marsEv310]

Can I pay to get my whip detailed at your Torrance shop?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Unfortunately, the store does not offer detailing services. Thanks for watching!

[@coryvandesype6858]

Can you use a DA polisher to apply these products?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Absolutely!

[@christine1701c]

Blacklight is a glaze and sealant, thus no need for separate sealant correct?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Black Light is a hybrid, but for more shine and protection we recommend using Jetseal.

[@christine1701c]

@@ChemicalGuys ok good to know! Thank you 👍

[@redzeroiceman9297]

can we clay then jet seal and skip the glaze

[@ChemicalGuys]

Absolutely!!

[@joshdavis3824]

Why not black light on the black car?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Black Light would also be a great choice!!

[@hogeandrew]

where does Hydroslick fit into this?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Apply HydroSlick to a bare surface and then it can be layered with glaze, sealant and wax.

[@kuinagel]

When would you use polishing and why

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Use compound and/or polish to remove swirl marks and scratches before applying your favorite coatings.

[@hollywithaGT500]

Fantastic! Love a good flow chart! If my car has professional ceramic no need to clay bar correct? Would I still benefit from a glaze or wax for protection?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! If your car feels soft, you may skip the clay bar process. Yes, applying a glaze, sealant, and wax will enhance more shine and protection!

[@danbell3378]

You don't recommend a buffer?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hello! Glaze, sealant and wax can be applied by hand or machine.

[@JonathonS-x1g]

Awesome i learn alot from that video thanks.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

[@squirrelkilla7371]

I've read that if you use a glaze then you cannot use a sealer or ceramic after due to those protectants needing to bond to the clear coat

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! We recommend applying a ceramic first, then follow these steps. Thanks for watching!

[@BigSteve_NorthIdaho]

When applying a CERAMIC… You WILL 1-3 step polish the paint to correct any flaws in the paint first! THEN apply the Ceramic! You can add shine and a little more protection with a wax! But, No resins or glazes are applied before or after a CERAMIC! Remember… Resins, & Glazes are FILLERS! They don’t fix anything, they cover up!

[@Motokzy]

Fantastic results 🎉

[@ChemicalGuys]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@oneemotiva4975]

If a car is ceramic coated, you cannot clay bar the car, also why don't you have a mite to clay the car? SO how do you remove the ceramic, I do not tbhink is possible, or is it. I do have your clay bar and about 50 of your products.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! First, yes you may clay a ceramic coated car. A clay bar does not remove ceramic properties. Also, we use a clay bar for this demonstration, it is all preference to the user. Thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!

[@oneemotiva4975]

@@ChemicalGuys Thanks , always heard to do not clay a ceramic car, even by Chicago Pros. Thank you for the info
