Welcome, Cory!

Welcome to the forums!

Correct, that timeline is fine

Wow! Every 2-3 months would be a good routine, especially since it's not driven on a regular basis.

It's possible local distributors still have some. Do you not like the spray? Just curious... I've found it's super easy to use and actually like it more.

What soap are you washing with? What are you maintaining it with? It's also possible something happened during prep or application that has lead to decreased longevity as the Advanced is different.

Looks like one of our admins took care of them...for now. Thanks for your patience.

Welcome!

In addition to the info above where @RayS has tou covered, here's more just in case. https://adamspolishes.com/pages/wheel-and-tire-cleaning-detailing-guide

It's not recommended, it's an exterior coating. Use this instead. https://adamspolishes.com/products/adams-uv-leather-vinyl-coating

I would recommend Strip Wash and clay (and Detail Spray to lubricate). https://adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-strip-wash https://adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-visco-clay-bar

A good way to tell in the meantime is if while polishing it the pad turned the same color, you likely burned it.

Agreed a pic would help, but if it is, sadly nothing will fix it but a repaint. Standing by...

Assuming proper prep and a full, even application, one layer is sufficient. With ceramic coatings, the law of diminishing returns applies - adding 2+ layers does not equate to 2x+ protection. Use the UV light to make sure you did a full application and you'll be good. That said, if you still decide to apply 2 layers, wait 1-2 hours in between layers max. The second layer will be easier to remove because the bottom layer will essentially reject much of the layer above it.

Some color variations can happen during manufacturing and bottling, you should be fine.

First, welcome! You're fine, it didn't strip it and would take a machine polisher to do so.

Thanks. As mentioned, I think you should start over using the steps above. Could be that particular interior doesn't respond well to the cleaner you used. Let us know how it goes.

Goo Gone will not remove a coating, you'll need to use a machine polisher.

First, welcome! As this is an Adam's forum, we will focus on what products of ours could help. It's possible the plastic is simply dry and the streaks are the dry vs. not so dry areas. My recommendation is to try and start over, stripping down the previous products. Use something like All Purpose Interior Cleaning Gel or Leather and Interior Cleaner, then top with Interior Detailer or even Leather Conditioner to rehydrate and protect. Also, pics could help so please post some, if available.

This should help answer that and more!

Enjoy!

There's the issue. Use a plush towel instead, a Borderless Grey Lite towel works really well. When you lightly drag it and it's slick, it's too soon. When the fibers start to grab, that's when it's ready. Depending on temps and humidity, the higher they are the faster it'll start to happen.

Yes, those. Sorry for the confusion.

Ah, gotcha. The spray coating won't really work with the other layers in between, nor frankly as well as it could even if right over top of the base layer only (assuming everything else was stripped off or otherwise gone). Will it hurt? No. But in my opinion not really worth your time or effort since the others are great options as-is.
