EXTRAS

Don't mistaken waterless wash with wheel cleaner. Did that once.....once!!

You wasn't bored at all. 

Also applied a second coat of ceramic spray on my camaro sometime in june after initially doing correction and first coat in feb.  Still looking great!! 
 
 

I still need to do a little more compounding around the edges of the headlights, but I am going to ceramic coat them. I will recommend to the owner to have them professionally clear coated, but that will be up to him. I don't have a paint gun or paint booth to do things like that 😞

I did however prep the vehicle tonight with Surface Prep and then applied Adam's UV Ceramic Paint Coating onto all body panels. No in-process pictures of the application this time, since I wanted to get it done before 1:30AM, which I did. Here's a picture of it applied and curing though 🙂

 
Tomorrow night - interior cleaning, one more compounding step on the headlights, then coating the headlights and wheels. It should be ready for the owner by Thursday or Friday evening, and then I have another Holden next in line after this one!

Detailed the girlfriend's ride on the weekend of the 4th. This color was asking to be saved and pop. Did a clay bar, 2 step polish and ceramic spray on it. She has had it for 3 years and never a true detail on it. Was covered in swirls and a few scratches. Did over 3 days.

@zapdonNice work on that great color!  We were driving with friends (not car people) last summer and both the wives commented on the that color paint on a Miata.  Mazda did a great job with that red candy.

The finished product at the show.  I was very pleased with the outcome.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but ceramic coating takes all the fun out of detailing.  It is now nothing more then a wash and dry.  If I am not out in the garage twice a year washing, claying, polishing and waxing I am lost.  The detailing is enjoyable to me.polishing, and it just seems that once the ceramic is on the car those steps are gone, at least for a while. 

Tools of the trade for application

Dan@adams stated to clean with ceramic in between the restorer and ceramic coating. 

No one says you can't use Detail Spray on your interior.

I have a collapsible cart.  Not sure if I found out about it on this forum, or another detailing forum, but is a very nice cart, that only take up a small space, and easily fits on the truck for mobile work.



 



 

Of course it has been 'blinged' out with Adam's and Rupes decals, and a power strip added to one end.

I bought a cart and  made it my own. attached the bottle holder, paper towel rack, garage utility hooks etc.
 

I'm in the process of building mine right now, Menards cart for $30 and have a friend cutting some dividers with his plasma table. 

New to forum as Estrella Mountain Detailing, in Goodyear, AZ. Have used just about every Adam's product faithfully for over 6 years now. Still as passionate about it as I was back in 2011 when I bought my first inventory for my 04 Corvette Coupe. Many cars later, and on my current 2013 Chevy Camaro Convertible 2SS, I am about to celebrate my first year anniversary as a full-time detail shop. Daily drivers to high-end auction and car-show winners, Adam's has been my brand of choice all along. Thank you for continually developing better technologies and advancing our passions!

Here is an update of the garage. Added 8 (24 x 36 ) pictures printed on canvas.
Had a pro photographer take the pictures.
 

Great way to introduce sctratches if not used exactly right.
No thank you.

Damn that H20 G&G continues to impress me.  Here is a friends Q5 that lives outside.  It is a lease and he treats it as such.  I detailed it a few months ago - that's probably the last time it was touched.  This weekend we detailed the interior and exterior and ended with a wet car and H20 G&G.  Amazing how much life it breathed into this paint.
