- Are you looking to restore a smooth surface to that daily driver? Has contamination ruined the look and feel of your bright paintwork? Today Henry tackles part 2 of the Nismo detailing mini-series by following the Detail Flowchart using a Medium Clay Bar and Luber to prep the surface for the next step, glaze. This will enhance the depth of your paintwork, mask minor swirls so there is no need for polishing and enhance gloss all by hand. Lock in shine and repel future damage with a coat of carnauba wax.

I did everything including polishing with v36 before white light and then butter wet and then V07.....it came out ultra smooth. GREAT VIDEO
Thanks for the amazing feedback and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
@@ChemicalGuys do you have a video using the same products but with a polisher. I would like to know how to use a polisher without scratching my car. Where can I buy Chemical Guys white light & white wax
I put hydro slick on first then did the next two. Looks so good
Happy detailing!
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO !
Thank you 🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
I'm definitely going to try your entire method on my white car.ill let you know how it goes my dude!!!!!
Enjoy your detailing products!!
@marlon felder how did it go? any update? thanks
I haven't had the time to devote to that task yet but I will reach out to you once I get it done. Thanks for the inspiration my dude!!
@@marlonfelder how about now?
Why is the white wax So Hard to get off. It's literally a workout to get the wax off
Hi could you guys come up with a list of wash , ceramic , glaze and sealants for my white metallic Porsche ?
Iv already got the white light glaze .
I wash car as often as possible but generally once every two weeks weather dependent.
Can you use the white light after every wash? If not, What can you use to protect your paint during those daily washes. ( once a week or every two week periods)
Hi there! It is perfectly fine to apply White Light Glaze as often as desired. I recommend using Blazin' Banana Spray Wax to easily add gloss and protection with your routine wash.
@@ChemicalGuys Ok, Thanks.
Hi. Just bought a new car. Its Pearl White . can teach me how to look after the paint. No plan to do coating and PPF. Thanks.
Can you do this on pearl white ?
Hey! Absolutely, use the same process to enhance pearl effect.
I used this stuff on my wife's Cherokee TH and wow the white really came out. She has a co-worker that has a white Trailhawk also and oddly enough the wife's TH is whiter lol 👍but let's see if CG can show us if we don't have a garage on how we can apply our loveable CG products and waxes please please show us
Hey! Thanks for the amazing feedback and thanks for the amazing video idea!
After the white light and wax will it be smart to add ceramic coating on top or negative?
Hey there! For the most durability and longevity we recommend to apply ceramic before adding glaze, sealant, and/or wax.
- CG Nick
Great video as always. Plus I’m biased as a I have a new white 2019 nismo.
Thanks for watching and happy detailing!
No you don't.
@@ez1to3 ?
If you do have a polisher would polishing replace the step of using the clay by hand?
Hey! We recommend claying before polishing to achieve the best results during polishing. Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Why don't you wipe off the white light before applying white wax ?
Hey! Henry did wipe it off. He explained what he was going to do before applying White Wax. Thanks for watching and happy detailing!
Do you need to change the applicators within the spread or you can use 1 for the whole vehicle?
Hey Chris! One applicator pad is perfectly fine or coordinate your applicators and product by using multiple.
Very nice working, I have white light glaze but white wax is not available in my country, So, Can I use butter wet wax.? After white light application how much time I should wait for to apply butter wet wax.?
Hey! Yes, you may use Butter Wet Wax after White Light. Thanks for watching and happy detailing!
Hey chemical guys, I will be putting g a true ceramic coating on my car within a few weeks, and I was wondering, would hydroslick come off with clean slate or will I have to compound it off??? Thanks in advance! P.S. love you guys
Hey! HydroSlick will not come off with Clean Slate. We recommend polishing it off the surface with V36 Optical Grade Cutting Polish.
www.chemicalguys.com/v36-optical-grade-cutting-polish/v36-cutting-polish.html
@@ChemicalGuys thanks!
Great video.
After applying white wax, can you put a ceramic sealant on top?
You want to do ceramic after you clay or clay and polish. Once that’s done then you can apply glaze, sealant, and wax
Hey! We recommend applying a ceramic before White Light. Thanks for watching and happy detailing!
I wish at the end of the video you remived the tape and showed us side by side difference
Thanks so much for your feedback!
Will it make the scratches and swirls on my black car disappear?
Hey! A clay bar does not remove scratches and swirls, it only removed embedded contaminats. We recommend polishing the surface with V36 Optical Grade Cutting Polish, it is the great all-around cutting-polish that eliminates light to moderate paint defects and imperfections from all paint types, then finishes like a fine polish.
www.chemicalguys.com/v36-optical-grade-cutting-polish/v36-cutting-polish.html
Can I use this clay method on my front windshield ?
Hi Jasmine! Absolutely, clay bar can be used on any surface that is gloss painted, shiny or clear.
- CG Nick
Great video, I would like to see the exact same video with a black car. I did see the one with blacklight, but it was not as thorough as this one. Thanks
Thanks for watching! We will be sure to get out a video out with a black vehicle.
Can't wait for the black car vid!! I'm waiting to make my purchase so I can be sure I purchase all I need, and all the correct items!
Superb vid 👏🏼
Thanks for watching!
Hi! Does the claybar also removes contamination from UV exposure? Like, yellowing of the white paint?
Hey Anthony! Clay will extract embedded contaminants and some oxidation but polishing may be required to restore shine. You can also try using the natural cleaning oils of Butter Wet Wax to revive and enhance a brilliant bright finish.
great video, so how frequent do we need to apply these chemicals to our cars?
Hello! Clay bar your vehicle as necessary, possible twice a year. White Light and White Wax can be applied as often as desired to maintain gloss and protection.
@@ChemicalGuys, hi, thanks for your reply! I don't have access to the car wash. Can I do the following detailing setup for my white car?
ecosmart waterless car wash&wax ->clay bar & luber ->whitelight hybrid radiant finish ->butter wet wax ->hybrid v07 optical select detail spray
Great video and very helpful since I currently don't own a polisher. What glaze would recommend for a gun metal/dark gray car, that I can apply by hand? Thanks
Hey! We recommend Black Light, it is pure eye-candy for black and dark-colored cars. The amazing hybrid glaze adds tons of deep wet shine, fills in minor imperfections, and lays down a layer of durable sealant in one step! Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
www.chemicalguys.com/black-light-hybrid-glaze-and-sealant/black-light-glaze.html
Can I use the butter wax instead of the white wax?
Absolutely!
Do I wash my car before claying?
Hi Antonio! Yes, wash the vehicle prior to clay barring to remove the heavier grime.
- CG Nick
After Doing the clay bar can you apply butter wet wax ? And if so is there another product I need to use after?
Hi Nathan! It is perfectly fine to finish your detail with Butter Wet Wax. Use your favorite quick detail spray to maintain gloss in between washes.
What do I do for small scratches on my white vehicle?
Hi there! Machine polishing is the most effective method of removing swirls and scratches. I recommend using the combination of C4 and P4 to restore shine.
www.chemicalguys.com/the-basics-to-correction-and-perfection/VIR751.html?gtmListValue=Internal%20Search
Can they be applied in direct sunlight?
Hey! It is best to work in a shaded area when the vehicle is cool to the touch.
How does the white light compare to a polish? Is there a big difference? Just trying to detail my white camaro.
Hey! White Light is a premium gloss enhancer and sealant in one that adds extra deep wet shine, fills minor swirls and scratches, and cleans minor stains and imperfections on white and light colored cars. A polish such as V36 Optical Grade Cutting Polish is the great all-around cutting-polish that eliminates light to moderate paint defects and imperfections from all paint types, then finishes like a fine polish.
Nice job
Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Can this be applied with the latest Hydro Slick product on "Platinum White Pearl" paint?
Yes! HydroSlick can be layered with your favorite glaze, sealant and wax.
After applying HydroSlick Hyperwax, how much time should I wait before applying butter wet wax?
Hey! We recommend allowing 3 hours to pass before applying a wax.
Great video, thanks! Is one clay bar enough for one car?
one is more than enough, but it's a good idea to get 2, just in case you dropped the only one you got, can't reuse the dropped one anymore.
Hey! Yes, one clay bar can decontaminate several vehicles.
Just picked up some jet seal and butter wax. Jet seal first then wax??
Hey Daniel! That's correct, apply JetSeal and then wax.
- CG Nick
Can you do this outside in the sun?
Hi there! It is best to work in a shaded area when the surface is cool to the touch.
Why should I go for white wax instead of a normal one for white cars? How much better is it
Hey! White is a brilliant combination of natural carnauba wax, synthetic sealant technology, and gloss enhancers that unlock the most brilliant shine on white paintwork. Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
@chemicalguys Can White Wax be used on silver vehicle. If not what you recommend
Yes, it can be used on light colored vehicles.
What do you recommend for black colored cars? And clay type?
Hey! We recommend the Black Car Care Kit, it combines everything needed to maintain the perfect show-winning shine on any black car. Black cars are prized for their distinct luxurious and intimidating look, but keeping them swirl-free is almost a full time job!
www.chemicalguys.com/black-car-care-kit/HOL203.html
Does White Light also work for a metallic silver? Or is that too dark
Hey! Yes, White Light will work amazing. Thanks for watching and happy detailing!
I like it when they do white cars. My car is white. Normally it looks great. So then the country changes all the street lamps with LEDs so at night I see every swirl.
Happy detailing!
does the wax can be apply in vertical and horizontal? or just one way?
Hey Pedro! It can be applied both vertical and horizontal, just not in circular motion. Thanks for watching!
Would I be able Clay without using Clean Slate?
Yes, you may clay the surface without using Clean Slate if you are just doing touch ups. If you are starting a fresh detail, we recommend using Clean Slate. Thanks for watching and happy detailing!
I was putting the clay bar to my pickup, when it started raining..so I couldn’t wax it after, and rain for the next 5 days..am I screwed?😢
Hey! No, once the rain stops, you may follow it up with your desired wax. Thanks for watching!
Chemical Guys thanks!🤙🏻
Can you use the clay bar you used on one car on another ? Or are they a one time use ?
Hey Jose! Great question. If the vehicle is super contaminated and you cannot find a new side on your clay bar, then your clay was only good for one vehicle.
Chemical Guys got it thanks for the response I appreciate thank you
after applying the wax could you still apply HydroCharge?
I might be wrong but I believe you use hydro charge first than you could wax it
Andrew Watkins you want to apply hydro charge before the wax. I would prefer a sealent though before the wax
Hey! We recommend applying HydroCharge before applying a glaze and wax. Thanks for watching!
Hello you may or may not see this but i got nothing to loose .... so about 2 days ago my car was parked in the street and around 12pm I passed by my car it was perfectly fine around 3 pm my neighbor informed me my car has been vandalized 🥺😭the 2 left side doors and hood got spay painted with big BLM letters according to the police officers who came so I could file a report said it was possibly cheap spray paint when my mom saw it she noticed bubbles and was wondering if it was from the spray paint or if the spray paint burned my paint ??? Also since I just got my car in January and it’s technically still new I was wondering what do you recommend to remove the paint without damaging my paint ?? I would file a claim but my deductible is $1,000 and I don’t have that type of money right now because of unemployment 😩 if you could please reply with a solution to my problem I would greatly appreciate it ❤️🙏🏻
Hi Jazmine! Thanks so much for reaching out. Try using the natural cleaning oils of Butter Wet Wax to lift the spray paint without harming your actual paintwork.
