How To Use Hydroslick - Part II - Application [Learn Ceramic From A Pro!] - Chemical Guys

[@chill521]

Oh finally, I've been hitting refresh for days looking for part 2. Let the show begin.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Make sure to leave a like on the video!

[@rickraub5448]

I bought some hydroslick from you but it has the consistency of apple sauce. Very chunky even after shaking hard. Yours looks more creamy. Is it still ok to use?

[@DA_Buddha]

So would the ideal setup be decon the car, then hydro charge, hydro slick and then hydro suds to maintain? Or would hydro speed make more sense for maintenance ? Car would be kept outside 24/7 btw.

[@PFinkoloTL87]

Nice video! Will the hydroslick coat withstand the spinning war wash brushes?

[@rickraub5448]

Living in Florida I want to apply hydroslick twice a year. Do I need to use clean slate between applications?

[@fareeduddin5629]

After hydro slick application,, It is necessary to apply another layer of wax like butter wet wax or it's works like a normal wax in protection??

[@amitfefferful]

Can it be used on glossy PPF?

[@vilmaspanger7057]

I agreed let someone else to apply the ceramic now I am 81. Do not have the strength to do it myself. Do you recommend some?

[@badredfire3valve944]

I was under the influence that I should use Hydro Charge 1st then Hydro Slick. Am I correct and what is the wait time between those 2? Thanks.

[@ChemicalGuys]

That's correct! Allow at least 3 hours in between coatings.

[@badredfire3valve944]

@@ChemicalGuys thank you chemical guys

[@mm0981k]

1. How long does it last? 2. Is it normal for the water drop to "stay" on the panel than to fall down as it happens to the uncoated side?

[@lukastemberger]

I bought a car and I'm ready to give it maximum protection :) I got Hydro Slick, Ultimate Glaze, Jet Seal and Lucent Spray Shine. The issue is, I don't have a garage. If I wait 3 hours between coatings, there will probably be contamination on it from trees and stuff. How do I deal with that?

[@anthonycaridi5959]

My hydro slick don’t look like how that looks. Mine looks like it’s not mixing when I shake it up.

[@RelaxedKoi]

My garage is hot and will probably end up hardening the ceramic. I wish it was easier.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Try working in the early morning or evening hours when the temperature is cooler.

[@RelaxedKoi]

@@ChemicalGuys what would be the most ideal temps to work under? The valley in SoCal is brutal lol!

[@Silky_boi]

@@RelaxedKoiI hear ya, even at 6AM it can already be 90 degrees. Biggest thing I noticed is not allowing the sun to contact the car as it’ll dry it up quick. If you have enough lamps you can do around sun down at 7ish and work panels at a time. Otherwise find a friend who has an air conditioned garage or wait till October/November

[@bubbajones1035]

Can you apply Hydro Slick with a buffer or do you need to just use the microfiber sponge.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey there! HydroSlick is intended for hand application only.

[@charlesw665]

Applied HydroSlick to my windshiled as showed in another video and messed it up. Lint embedded in the coating. How do I remove it without removing wax from other parts of car?

[@juanfersan]

how long does it last?

[@sanchez3235]

Recently have this product should i use before or after blacklight polish ?

[@ChemicalGuys]

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

[@tommyd8314]

Can you apply hydro charge after you apply hydro slick? Or does the hydro charge go on before the hydroslick?

[@chill521]

Hydro Charge + (that's the newest and better version) goes on first because it forms a hard shell, remember that, then add the hydroslick.

[@tommyd8314]

@@chill521thank you

[@Matt_justlikethat]

Do u use a slightly damp applicator? Thanks

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! It is perfectly fine to use a dry applicator pad.

[@Matt_justlikethat]

@@ChemicalGuys I asked about a ‘damp’ applicator to ease the first few passes? Thanks

[@toddreeder3082]

Can this be applied with the Torque X?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! HydroSlick is intended to be applied by hand only.

[@95Eg6SoCal]

What’s the gmp required for that foam cannon? My electric washer is a 1.4.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! 1.4 GPM is perfectly fine.

[@Max-kn9yi]

I bought this, but it had a very separated consistency. Shaking alot only helped a little. Is this the way it's supposed to be?

[@rickraub5448]

Me too. It Had the consistency of chunky apple sauce. Shaking didn’t help much.

[@정민-x7r]

goodjob😊

[@ChemicalGuys]

Thanks so much for tuning in!

[@reasonmath]

Ok so can i apply blacklight and jetseal before hydro slick?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hi there! Apply HydroSlick to a bare surface and then add your favorite glaze, sealant and wax.

[@reasonmath]

@@ChemicalGuys perfect! One more question.. would I still be able to use the polisher on setting 1 or would I have to add them by hand?

[@RonColeman-zy5cd]

Hey how long does hydroslick last i have been using the wet butter wax and doesn't seem to last long i like it though. Thanks

[@arrozconmgtow5026]

The HydroCHARGE+ and HydroSLICK combo is supposed to last a year but if you're familiar with the wild claims made by ceramic makers/vendors...even if you boost it with a SiO2 infused car shampoo and really baby that you're probably only going to come in about 10 months if you're lucky.

[@RonColeman-zy5cd]

@@arrozconmgtow5026 Thank you my friend I'm just trying to figure out all the different products and what works and what doesn't. So do you think the HydroCharge and the HydroSlick to be pretty good stuff

[@sectech221]

@@RonColeman-zy5cdI haven’t tried HydroCharge Plus yet, but I’ve got hydro slick on my truck and wife’s car. We both love it. Easy to apply, easy to buff off, and the shine is amazing. Don’t be afraid of it being a ceramic product. It truly is easy to use. Identical to a wax.

[@Nanobot_123]

bro said dont touch it than touched it🤣🤣

[@ChemicalGuys]

Opps my bad! - Joey

[@klausmikaelson7279]

Can I apply Hydro Slick and detail with Hydro Speed?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Absolutely!

[@bryanschairer4375]

Can I layer on Butter Wet Wax? How long after Hydro Slick?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! Yes, you may apply Butter Wet Wax, just be sure to apply it 3 hours after HydroSlick has cured!

[@davecoluccio3356]

Why do some videos look like its smooth like a syrup and others it looks like a chunky gel?

[@theyamanash]

Now don't touch it for 3 hours while it cures. *Immediately wipes hand all over it* 😂

[@MariaMichel-r8b]

So don't lay it on thick?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hi there! Correct, add more protection by using multiple layers rather than one thick coat.

[@Not_nice718]

I used it to mop my floors and house windows lol I can use this for my cars might put it on my wheels and tires that’s it 😂😂😂

[@정민-x7r]

😁👋

[@michaelschwartz9485]

I think I'll pay a professional to do this, I'll F it up!

[@ChemicalGuys]

HydroSlick is super easy to apply!

[@deruin78]

😅😅😅 I try, but my vehicle is too big

[@08BrettM]

It's easier than you'd think. The first time I kinda screwed myself by putting entirely to much only and by the time I was done I was wore out😅

[@vinhsanity]

It’s so easy… paint correcting is the only hard thing to get great at, but even that doesn’t take long to be DIY-good at

[@limited50scla]

I started at 7:30 AM on Saturday. Took like a 30 minute break for breakfast finished at 5:30 PM. Use clean slate to move all the protectant or whatever it is on my Tahoe. Clayed, is my torx da15 with v36 and v 38 then Black light glaze, and Jet seal. Could not apply the butter wet wax as the jet seal needs 12 hours to cure. Also did not put on slick after polishing because I forgot and didn’t know I was supposed to do that first.

[@Lawson8330]

Can I use this on polished wheels?
