WARNING: Don't Make These Common Detailing Mistakes! - Chemical Guys

Avoid these 10 red flags 🚩 to achieve the best detailing experience! 1. Remove the tag! Reduce the chances of adding swirl marks and scratches by tearing tags off of mitts, applicators and towels. 2. Dish soap is for cookware not cars! Using dish soap can be harsh on your vehicles clear coat and degrades coatings. Grab your favorite Chemical Guys car wash shampoo to safely guide abrasive particles from the surface while enhancing shine. 3. Lube it or lose it. The clay bar process is a necessary step before paint corrections and applying coatings and using the right lubricant for the task not only prevents marring but also won't damage the clay bar, so it will be ready for the next job. 4. If you drop it, toss it out! If you happen to drop your clay bar it will instantly attract abrasive grime from the ground and if this is introduced to your paintwork it will scratch and mar. Tear off a new piece of clay bar and continue the decontamination. 5. Ceramic maintenance! Although ceramic will provide the most durable form of protection, it still requires routine washing to add longevity and boost ceramic properties. Add the Hydro Line to your detailing arsenal to give your ceramic coating the best chance. 6. Organize your microfiber towels. Designate towels for different areas around the vehicle to prevent cross-contamination. 7. Ammonia-free window cleaning like a pro. Use a gentle window cleaner to prevent damaging window tint. Pro tip: Two waffle weave microfiber towels will achieve streak-free clarity. 8. Microfiber care! Release grime from the fibers of your towels, mitts and applicators with Microfiber Wash.

Use linear motions while rolling your wrist to reduce the chances of scratching. 0:00 Detailing Red Flags! 0:30 Remove the Tag! 1:30 Use a Dedicated Car Wash Soap 2:28 Lube it or Lose it! 4:00 Don't Drop the Clay 6:00 Ceramic Coating Care!! 7:30 Separate Microfiber Goods 8:35 Streak-Free Window Cleaning 10:00 Microfiber Care 12:30 Get the Right Towel for the Job! 13:15 Linear Motions! - Clay Luber: https://bit.ly/3nYP7Dy - Mr. Pink Car Wash: https://bit.ly/3LYSGSq - Microfiber Wash: https://bit.ly/3VY1fBm - Streak Free Window Cleaner: https://bit.ly/44SiEj5 - HydroSuds: https://bit.ly/3I7Jh9Y - HydroSpeed: https://bit.ly/41rcELe - HydroCharge Plus: https://bit.ly/3nOfIDz - Speed Mammoth: https://bit.ly/3MlklOy ------------------------------------- ● Find a Detail Garage Near You: https://ift.tt/5g0nz2d ● Website: https://ift.tt/sAuBNS8 ● Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ChemicalGuys?sub_confirmation=1 ● Like Us on Facebook: https://ift.tt/kol9XOi ● Follow us on Instagram: https://ift.tt/xY0GB3R ● Follow us on TikTok: https://ift.tt/ElJgGd8 #cleaning #detailing #redflags
