I looked through the forum and can't find anything on this. I was watching a video on youtube of a guy cleaning his engine off with a water hose. He covered some of the stuff with plastic bags. What is your opinion on spraying water directly on a cool engine. He had about 7 different products by the same brand he used after washing the engine off. It looked pretty good after he was done but I am scared to death if I do it something will go wrong.

Some questions about the clay bar as I've never clayed my car before, I wash it alot, but it's due for a wax. What are the benefits of the clay, and what are the different grades? How is it properly applied? What else is needed when one does this application? Any tips are appreciated. Thanx!

As for the grades I generally recommend to 90% - 95% of detailers they get the fine grade bar. The ultra fine bars are really soft and for those with brand new cars and who are very conservative. The medium grade bars should only be used by those with heavy accumulation of contaminants like paint over spray, tar, etc.
Remember our 20% off clay bar and lube sale will end tonight at midnight EST! Let me know if I can help you any further.

Glazes, Blackfire gloss with glaze fillers
Hey,
So I've read the guide to using Glaze, and I understand that it should be applied after claying the car. What about after a subsequent wash after i have applied a layer or 2 of Blackfire Wet Diamond.
For example, I clay my car, apply the Blackfire Gloss with glaze fillers, then apply a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond. In a few weeks or so ( after a wash ) could apply a layer of the Blackfire Glass, and another coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond on top?
Thanks
