Love the video. So helpful! How much luber do you end up using? I have a large SUV and had to be outside, ended up using a whole bottle, is that too much??
Thank you guys, very helpful video. I've been using your Clay Block for a while now and I absolutely love it! Performs as expected as described here and on your website. Just bought the soaps to start this process before putting the ceramic products on it.
WoW... thank you for this great vid. You actually just tought people who need extra money how to make extra cash. Yeah at first it is expensive to start but once you get started and keep it up its easy money
The honey due snow foam? Do I need a sparay cannon for that car wash or can I just use a separate bucket for the snow foam if I don't own a spray cannon?
Hey! A clay block covers more surface area while being more user friendly. In the event that it is dropped, it can be cleaned and reused as opposed to a clay bar which would need to be replaced.
Hi there! Yes, after a clay bar treatment the vehicle can be polished and/or coated with your favorite ceramic, glaze, sealant, and/or wax to lock in shine while repelling harsh elements.
Hey! We recommend EZ Creme Glaze, it makes any car look extra glossy, shiny, and like the vehicle is still wet after a fresh paint job by filling in light swirls, scratches and other imperfections. Then apply Jetseal, it is the ultimate long-lasting paint sealant that uses the latest aerospace technology to protect against the harshest elements while enhancing a brilliant glassy shine. Finally apply Butter Wet Wax, it is a smooth, liquid creme wax that melts into the paint like butter for easy on/off application to give you the deepest, wettest look imaginable in a matter of minutes. www.chemicalguys.com/ez-creme-glaze-rich-wet-finish-with-acrylic-shine/ez-creme-glaze.html www.chemicalguys.com/jetseal-durable-sealant-and-paint-protectant/jetseal-sealant.html www.chemicalguys.com/butter-wet-wax-warm-and-deep-carnauba-shine/butter-wet-wax.html
The Synthetic Clay Block will not scratch your paint. Make sure to full clean the surface of any grime and also use proper lubrication to achieve the best results using this product.
sure it will scratch, even more when decontamination process is incomplete like presented on this video. Deironizer and T&G Remover before claying is missing :) Every clay ''thing'' is abrasive, I suppose u know what this means - IT WILL LEAVE YOUR PAINTWORK WITH MICRO-SCRATCHES, and polishing is always needed after claying
So how do you know when it's time to throw the clay block away and get a new one
Starting a mobile detailing company of my own and this is helping me refreshing my memory on everything.
That's awesome, Happy detailing!!
I wish you are doing great with you business 👍🏼
