 Hi, my name is Patrick, and I know nothing about car care I'm gonna talk to you like it's a seminar. I'm gonna talk to you. Talk to me and, oh my leg's stuck, hang on. Welcome Versus Welcome to a McGuire's video and actually welcome to a very new brand new new series called Detailing 101 I have trusty guru Dale with me to help me along the way. This series is basically gonna take What is essentially my car my E36 BMW? From scuff to buff or some other cheesy corny sayings that you like to use I'm gonna give you a quick rundown or Dale and I are gonna give you a quick rundown of what the series entails This primarily is just gonna be a very general overview of what we're gonna cover within each stage of washing drying cleaning Compounding poshing literally every stage So if you're brand new to this like I am because I'm an ultimate noob when it comes to all this stuff Then this should be good because I'm gonna learn you're gonna learn and Dale's gonna have so much fun He don't know what he won't know what to do with himself, and I'm gonna learn something from it Hey mainly patience. Yeah, mainly patience, but it's their own, you know We cover a lot of very tent-cool things and with McGuire's with our videos and when people come in day-in-the-bate But what we find is people that apply to come to the day-in-the-bate generally have Showcars and already have a little bit of knowledge when it comes to detailing and what we do is find out what kind of Nods they have and what detail of they are and then we kind of kind of hone the day-in-the-bate around that So every time someone's in the bay, it's different now with you. It's starting from scratch It's a no-nothing. This is an honest series. You know, we're not we're not faking this you generally Know nothing and this is great So I mean the biggest thing from a guise and why I love the company so much is the education From January to March we run our seminar. So we're gonna pretty much treat you Treat you like a mini seminar cinema seminar series seminar Series seminar series. So we're gonna cover the five steps to perfect paint What are the five steps? What do they come under? And if you if you put them here on list in person washing washing cleaning prep polish Protection and then afterwards step five maintenance now I've got a couple of products out just as a inkling of what we might use later on in cover the series So we're gonna start with the wash plus obviously. This is a fantastic product to which I know nothing about damn Explained so the reason we're gonna be using what plus on your guys because we are starting from scratch Okay, now this contains polishing agents And so what these do is give the car real deep scrub so instead of applying it into a bucket You can if you want to but to get the most out of product you apply it directly to the wash mitt Okay, and then scrub the surface so it's basically taking away if my car had any form of protection on there Which it doesn't because it's a mess That would take that down back to the exact way it's exfoliating the skin essentially so we're starting fresh Obviously, this is just a little extra fluffy drop big fluffy drying towel This is a key essential for drying the car anyway. So wash plus covered Sick the McGuire's quick clay kit that's trying to say that 10 times faster clay I've heard is one of the most important bits of a car prep exactly that It's also one of the easiest it was very much thought of best especially over 10 years ago You'd pay a ballot to come and play your car There's a lot of myths that it was hard to do and it was you know You needed some sort of training degree to get it done But it's one of the easiest steps you can make to make your car feel fantastic now clay will not change How your paint looks but it changes how it feels so if that's your paint Yeah, it's gonna remove above surface contaminants Okay, so stuff that sat on it sat on the paint a tree sap bird crap line Yeah, essentially, you know an iron fallout stuff by that fine now Exactly, so anything sitting on the paint is going to deal with any road and remove So it creates a nice smooth platform for you to then talk about the subsurface defects Perfect or moving on to the ultimate. I hope it is yes moving on to the ultimate compound and this Is what you call the swell slayer it is it's my go to swallower move and defect you kind of remove it You know oxidized paint it's got the paint cleaners in there to revive tide colors as well Okay, so we've removed the both surfacing contaminants now We're going to be talking about below surface contaminants right so these are things that have penetrated the clear coat Okay, so clay is just going to glide over these not going to change anything Now to remove a scratch and swell you need to bring the surface area around it to the same level Okay, to give the appearance that the swell is gone and remove it right so yes It is an abrasive, but it's the only way of removing swells and scratches We don't believe in filling them nice and will this will this remove paint as such not like you are you are a removing You're moving a smaller removing is incredibly low fine because I think a lot of people get scared I guess when they're compounding a car They don't want to take away or burn through or anything especially if you're working on traditional classic paints Yeah, so modern paints are very hard and have a clear cut on top of them So when you're removing that you don't see anything okay, whereas traditional paints are single stage Which means you're going to get that color transfer on a pad. Yeah, that can look very scary, but it really isn't okay nice We've taken the paint down Cleared out most of those swells all of them We've cleared out all those worlds. Let's be positive. I don't I mean I haven't actually looked at my car and how bad the swells are But we're going to show you some easy simple ways to look at you know Your swirl marks and how it is to like kind of pinpoint them out and stuff like that. Anyway, moving on ultimate polish So when the taboo subjects you might say and it's a subject that has many variations Okay, so if you were if someone asked you, you know, what's your idea of a polish? What do you think polish does without you know picking my breath? What do I think a polish does well polish usually like your polish your shoes to make them like your school shoes to make Shiny that's what I would yeah, so generally when people come to our stand at car shows and events They they ask us what is your best polish now? We need to find out what their version of the word polishes now some people might think it's protection Some people might think it's swore move because it's an action. It's polishing the car Okay, whenever we talk about polish we talk about gloss enhancement, right? So we're not removing defects. We're not Like changing the structure of the paint all we're doing is enhancing gloss enhancing the color to make it Exactly go shiny. I don't know whether my car will go shiny the paint code I guess for my 36 is Madeira violet. Okay purple It's a bit more of like a not a dull color, but more matty. I guess it's not it Yeah, it's a kind of a satin finish, but it is metallic So so what we're gonna do if if you can if you've got a heavily metallic car And you're struggling to get that wet look gloss now using a product like this if you can't get gloss Well, let's play with what it has so let's magnify that fleck. Okay, so using the polish It's gonna really magnify that fleck and make it really sparkle nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. So revive refine protect protection How do you mean protect so protect using a wax to seal in the gloss now if you've ever polished the car without Waxing it a few weeks later. It's gonna look exactly how I looked before you've watched it So any time you polish a car always wax it afterwards Okay, now we have many waxes from canuba base waxes to Synthetic waxes like this one now when we've got your car in the bay We'll get all the waxes and we'll talk about yeah, why we're gonna use this one on the car But we can save that for a lot of videos. Yeah, that's fine But a wax is gonna seal in that protection. Yes, our waxes have polishing laws in them as well So there is gonna be that real enhancements of gloss as well Okay, and there's some cases where you can just go from compound to wax But again when we're in the bay Don't try and cover literally everything where there is possible for you to understand what we're trying to do and get across And really help you the the viewer and the the avid detailers amongst yourselves to really you know Yeah, to really propel your knowledge and and work out how best to keep you I'm not gonna be using any pro stuff on your car. No, no pro stuff This is all stuff combined Halfords Amazon. This is what we're gonna use Right the fifth stage maintenance is maintenance. So we're gonna maintain that finish We're gonna look after it whether or not you're going to car shows So you're gonna use something like the the waterless washing wax. This is fantastic. It's It's not a detailer. It's a sprayable shampoo. Okay. It's a heavy-duty cleaner. Nice or use something like a detailer now Detailer is a finishing product. So it's not a cleaning product You can take away light the smarts with it and fingerprints before that, but it's a finishing product So it's enhancing gloss and protecting paint in between washes. Now. I personally use this one as a drying edge so When I've rinsed the car off and I've removed all the soap from the surface Let's sprayed a whole car with the ultimate detailer Then dry it down with a super dry towel, right? What I was doing is leaving a streak free finish and also protecting the paint So I'm gonna get that sharp intense water beating nice. Okay.
