How do I remove something like this from my car. Yes I know it's dirty plan om cleaning later tonight. But I have a sticky string mess unknown what it is. How do I remove it
Good to see the tried and tested method of glaze, seal, and wax. I have all of the fantastic products in the video and use them on my cavansite blue Mercedes.
If you guys hate tags so much why do you keep manufacturing towels and applicators with tags on them? Wouldn't it be easier just to manufacture them without them?
There are product standards and regulations. Every fabric product including clothing, linen etc. needs to have a tag on it by law that shows content, care, warnings etc.
If Butter Wet Wax cleans paint as well as apply wax, as you said in the video, does this cleaning agent then compromise the layers of product underneath it? How do these products adhere to the Hydroslick or other silicone base layer and stay on for a long period of time? It seems like the glaze would all wipe off of the Hydro product base layer.
hi CG team. once i have done this, given the ceramic and sealant last a year, what do i do for maintenance? just washing with extreme body wash or hydrosuds, and then adding more wax for shine? Or can you do glaze/sealant/was anytime you want? Also in 12 months time, if you want to do it all again where do you start? do you use Clean Slate and start again?
Spectacular products. Bad bad bad sprayer. Can you all look into updating the sprayers please? Maybe it’s my own undoing. I like to keep some car cleaner items in the car, and the sprayers leak on your bottles when it’s hot out. My latest catastrophe being a scent explosion. You dang near smell my car from a block away 😂
Yeah they aren’t supposed to be left in heat like that , could mess up the gel/or liquid consistency of the product too even if it doesn’t explode 😂. anyway have no problems and keep them inside
Many thanks for the detailed explanation, here i was thinking the Ceramic Coat was the silver bullet that fixed everything. Can your product (with the exception of HydroCharge) be used with other brand of Ceramic coating??
Does the Jet Seal bond to the paint when applied AFTER the glaze product? I thought I used clay bar, then sealed the paint before using any other product. I bought both from your website
Yeahp that's correct jet seal gets dry to apply another coat or Wax un about 20 minutes later. Now to get 12 months of protection as a layer on the Paint you need at least 12 HRS away from the elements, to ve honest I recomend 18 to 24 HRS away.
@@osheaelnegrojackson3105 if you put Wax first, when the Wax felt off you lost the protection. Waxes last a Max of 2 to 3 months, it depends on the Wax. If you put it under the sealant, theres no chance to last. First the sealant then the Wax.
Ok, big question. Because wax is being used last (before Hydro Speed) can I apply wax on top of the stack and top it with Hydro Speed? I’m thinking about buying Pete’s 53 paste wax. Thanks guys! My ride looks awesome! Love the products. 😁
Hey guys I just did a carbon force ceramic coating two days ago. Should I do this process and when should I start? Or do you recommend another product?or should I skip some products?
I am going to be detailing a 2018 civic hatchback. After blacklight do I have to use the jet seal? Can I go straight to the butter wax? Unfortunately I have to do this outside I have no indoor space to do this
You mentioned microfiber wash but I have a question about wash mitts and microfiber towels. When should we get new ones? I keep mine really clean but I know I need to eventually replace them. I just don’t know when. Thanks.
Hey going through this process today for my Ram, just so im clear, there is no issue putting butter wet wax on right after buffing off jet seal? Planning to travel for a week so it will sit in a garage for 7 days after completion but want to make sure putting wax right on aftee sealant doesnt compromise the sealent
Hey! Repel harsh UV rays with ceramic protection by using HydroSlick. www.chemicalguys.com/hydroslick-intense-gloss-sio2-ceramic-coating-hyperwax/WAC22916.html
So if the ceramic coating is good for 5 yrs , how often do you need the rest of the steps after that ( glaze, sealant, wax)? Do you need to use the clay again even after the ceramic coating? How often? And after 5 years, do you just repeat the whole process?
Question, let’s say I do this whole process on Saturday, the next following Saturday, the only thing necessary for me to do is wash and dry my car? Do I need to re-apply any protection after it’s dry?
I’m just confused why you put a sealant on top of a hybrid glaze/ sealant. Why not use Jet Seal on top of a dedicated glaze like Mirror Wet Finish? I would assume Black Light is a hybrid so it could be used as a two-in-one step instead. Thanks!!
Oooh guys, wonderful video, everything I needed. Just bought the black light and butterwet wax. Looking forward to use it! Have to ask that I would love to know how to maintain it or how to wash my car after 2 weeks applying these products. Just a simpel rinse of or snow foam and everything. And of so whats next??
Hey! Check out Extreme Body Wash and Wax to enhance and add a fine layer of wax with every wash. www.chemicalguys.com/extreme-body-wash-wax/CWS20716.html
I’m not understanding why you would put the ceramic coat on first? It is advertised as having a good water beading properties right? Wouldn’t putting three more coats of other product on top of the ceramic affect the water beading properties?
You guys do excellent tutorial videos, thank you but I have a question for, you always do videos on fairly new cars with good paint job , why not show with older cars, it's more challenging. Thank you
Hi there! Ceramic will provide the most durable layer of protection however it is perfectly fine to use your favorite glaze, sealant and/or wax to protect the finish and add shine.
@@ChemicalGuys i have trie the hydroslick but I think the product is either damaged or from the bad batch. As many people are complaining my bottle of Hydroslick is not like a liquid paste as you show them in the videos, it is like dried out jello and hard to apply. After applying it i get a very strong smell of petroleum and i see some vapors (like smoke) coming out.
Can I use the Hydroslick Ceramic Hyperwax in place of the butter wet wax? Also, to keep it up to par when washing should I use Hydroglide or Hydrospeed?
Can I use black light, sealent and butter wax after hydro charge and hydro silck Or can use only butter wax after hydrocharge and hydroSilck application
Hi there! Ceramic will provide the most durable form of protection however you can still achieve a brilliant shine that reject harsh elements with coats of sealant and/or wax.
I have seen some reviews of blacklight lately as it got me interested but what pulled me off was that it contain micro abrasives. This is what the reviews say. It contain abrasives that fill swirls. Is it true?

There are product standards and regulations. Every fabric product including clothing, linen etc. needs to have a tag on it by law that shows content, care, warnings etc.
Is the jet seal necessary if I’m using blacklight which has sealant in it?
Used butter wet wax on my durango.... that thing is clean 🤣🔥
Gotta love Butter Wet Wax!
I love that stuff.
So how long .... if you do all these steps will this protection last?
I always apply hydrocharge last not sure why a wax would go ontop of a ceramic
Because a ceramic is more durable and has a stronger adhesion to the surface. If you put a ceramic over wax, it'll likely come off in a few washes.
So jet seal has to cure for 12 hours but can you aply the banana wax right away before the 12 hour cure time ?
Can butter we wax work as a drying aid?? Also will it help with water spots after a wash with out spot free water??
Do you recommend this regimen on a new car just purchased?
Absolutely!
If I just got a step 1 paint correction done and ceramic coating can I still apply jet sealant to my car?
If Butter Wet Wax cleans paint as well as apply wax, as you said in the video, does this cleaning agent then compromise the layers of product underneath it? How do these products adhere to the Hydroslick or other silicone base layer and stay on for a long period of time? It seems like the glaze would all wipe off of the Hydro product base layer.
Any recommendations for ppl with no access to a garage, i can only detail in open air what products should i skip or use instead.

Hello, will the protection last more than 1 year after using all these products and proper maintenance ?

What did you end up doing and how did it go??
When applying White Light with a polisher, can you use a black pad or best to use a blue pad?
Hey David! Absolutely, it is perfectly fine to use a Black Hex-Logic Pad to apply White Light.
Can the wax be applied staraigh after jet seal or should I wait 12 hours ?
Hey! Allow at least 30 minutes before applying Butter Wet Wax.
Thanks Henry
Glad you enjoyed the video!
You mentioned microfiber wash but I have a question about wash mitts and microfiber towels. When should we get new ones? I keep mine really clean but I know I need to eventually replace them. I just don’t know when. Thanks.
Hi Anthony! Once the microfiber begins to feel rough or non longer absorbent it should be replaced.
Need to bring a couple detail shops to Illinois
😀😀
Why do you suggest to use the short pile of the microfiber cloth to clean the excess product? Why not the long pile?
Is HydroCharge Plus discontinued?
Can you use blacklight then hydro charge?

Hey! Repel harsh UV rays with ceramic protection by using HydroSlick.
www.chemicalguys.com/hydroslick-intense-gloss-sio2-ceramic-coating-hyperwax/WAC22916.html
The shine do look good but how long approximately will the protection last with all these products on?
So if doing the hydrocharge would you use hydroslick as the glaze step on the flowchart or glaze after hydroslick?
Hi there! HydroCharge can be layered with HydroSlick and your favorite glaze as well as sealant and wax.
Hi! I can do sealant and after hydro slick?
Or I have to do sealant and wax?
And I can do sealant, wax, hydro slick!?
What is the sequence?
The days of a simple wash n wax are long gone. Looks like I need a few more CGs products. Thanks for this one, was very helpful. 👍🏼
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!!
how often should I repeat these protection steps, and should I polish?
So if the ceramic coating is good for 5 yrs , how often do you need the rest of the steps after that ( glaze, sealant, wax)? Do you need to use the clay again even after the ceramic coating? How often?
And after 5 years, do you just repeat the whole process?
I just got a black type R. After a light polishing, can I use hydroslick than the black light sealant or is another order better to care for the care?
Question, let’s say I do this whole process on Saturday, the next following Saturday, the only thing necessary for me to do is wash and dry my car? Do I need to re-apply any protection after it’s dry?
I’m just confused why you put a sealant on top of a hybrid glaze/ sealant. Why not use Jet Seal on top of a dedicated glaze like Mirror Wet Finish? I would assume Black Light is a hybrid so it could be used as a two-in-one step instead. Thanks!!
@chemical guys how do I get that flow chart?
Okay so after the jet seal sits for 12 hrs do you recommend to wash it with a ph soap before applying the butter wet wax the following day ?
What is the difference between the HD polish and jet seal? Can you please elaborate?
Here can I use hydroslick ceramic wax in place of butter wax?

What is a good glaze for a silver truck? Great video thank you
White light
@@stevemiller2599 thank you
Hi there! White Light Glaze is a great choice!
Do you need to do an ispropl wipe down between products?
Hi Mary! Use Wipe Out after polishing before applying coatings. It is not necessary to use in between layering coatings.
is there an optimal temperature to detail a vehicle?
My vehicle doesn’t fit in my garage and my driveway has no shade… how do I clean/maintain it?
I’m not understanding why you would put the ceramic coat on first? It is advertised as having a good water beading properties right? Wouldn’t putting three more coats of other product on top of the ceramic affect the water beading properties?
Agree with you.
Can I purchase a poster or something of your flowcharts for my garage?
Great suggestion!
Is it ok to have my vehicle parked outside while hydro charge is curing?
What is that brush piece in his hand that he is using to spread the product on the car, what is that thing called?
How long do you have to wait to apply Hydro Slick Wax after applying JetSeal
Hi there! Start by applying HydroSlick and allow about three hours before applying JetSeal.
@@ChemicalGuys can I apply the jetseal by hand or better to use a machine ?
You guys do excellent tutorial videos, thank you but I have a question for, you always do videos on fairly new cars with good paint job , why not show with older cars, it's more challenging. Thank you
Thanks so much for your feedback!
Where does the carbon force be at this chart before the glaze?
Say if i wanted to use slick finish cleaner wax, would it still be a final step since even though it has micro abrasives? Any suggestions help.
So I have a black tesla, i bought black light, jet seal and hydro slick. Can I apply them all? If yes, in what order should I apply them?
Hey! Yes, apply HydroSlick to a bare surface then it can be layered with JetSeal and then Black Light.
@@ChemicalGuys thank you! I was thinking probably the otherway. Like black light -> jet seal -> then hydroslick. Thank you for the answer
@@ChemicalGuysI thought glaze had to be applied before sealant?
I have a bottle of black light, but it’s been sitting in my garage for about four years. Is it still good to use?
Hi there! Our products have a shelf-life of several years. Shake the product and check for separation before use.
Do you have to wait 12 hours after Jet Seal to use the butter wax?
Hey! Allowed at least 30 minutes before applying Butter Wet Wax.
When you clay then use a machine to cut and polish is it 100%necessary to use a ceramic? Or is it reasonable to just glaze and wax? Or even just wax?
Hi there! Ceramic will provide the most durable layer of protection however it is perfectly fine to use your favorite glaze, sealant and/or wax to protect the finish and add shine.
@@ChemicalGuys Thank you guys!
As a owner of a Hyundai with this paint. Did you use the fine clay or OG?

Can I use the Hydroslick Ceramic Hyperwax in place of the butter wet wax? Also, to keep it up to par when washing should I use Hydroglide or Hydrospeed?
Hi there! HydroSlick can be used as a standalone barrier of protection. Use HydroSuds and HydroSpeed to maintain your ceramic.
Can I use black light, sealent and butter wax after hydro charge and hydro silck
Or can use only butter wax after hydrocharge and hydroSilck application
You can layer glaze, sealant and wax on top of Charge and Slick.

If i recently applied ppf to my car, can I use these products on the ppf?

Hi Carlos! Absolutely, JetSeal is a great option.
Can i use this on ppf?
Absolutely!
Can you use Blacklight glaze on a white car?
Absolutely!
What if you can't let it sit for 12 hours? What would happen if you waited a couple of hours and then go to the Butter Wet Wax?

Honest Question: Instead of butter wet wax, why not use Hydro slick instead???
Since hydroslick is a ceramic infused wax, it’d be best to use that layered directly on top of the hydrocharge.

The only place I’ve heard recommending wax on a ceramic coating.
Hey! Add wax on top of ceramic to add more protection and warm gloss.
@@ChemicalGuys Strange. Every detail shop/technician that I’ve seen has said do not add wax on top, if anything add a gloss intensifier.
Dumb question, but is blacklight only for black cars or can you use it on any color?
Hi Joe! Black Light is safe for all gloss finishes however it works best for dark colored paintwork.
The only bad thing is I couln't hear until I max the volume of my hearphones, also, which product should I use to protect it from the sun.
Hi there! Use HydroSlick to provide a long lasting layer of durable protection.
@@ChemicalGuys I will try it, thank you. :], damn sun.
