Not to Clay if not polishing?
Eric replied to Eric's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I never responded to this topic, whoops! As my first wash using Adam's products I did a Strip Wash and after washing and drying I clayed the whole car and i'm glad I did. I could feel a ton of contaminants on the paint. After that I applied paint sealant. I was very happy with the result I've washed my car 2 or 3 times since then with the standard Shampoo and then followed up with H20 G&G and Americana Paste Wax. I'm thinking after my most recent wash (this Monday) the next one I may need to clay again. Unless there are better ways to remove water spots that are very difficult to remove. -
FAQ: "Should I use wax or sealant on my car?"
Eric replied to Team Adam's's topic in The Adam's Detailing Library
Great write up! I just stripped and sealed my car on Sunday. It's been in the garage since I finished. Could I potentially go in tonight clean it up with some waterless wash (or even just detail spray?) and put a coat of glaze then Americana? Or does this process need to be done one after the other on the same day?- 53 replies

Not to Clay if not polishing?

Thanks for all the responses and input. I understand it much better now! -
Not to Clay if not polishing?
Eric replied to Eric's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
So it's not absolutely necessary to polish if I'm going to Clay? As long as some sort of protection is going down? The person I spoke to reason was the clay can easily Mar the paint and introduce more scratches. -
I was wondering, since I'm not yet comfortable polishing, should I skip the clay bar? Someone told me not to if I'm not going to polish. Any insight from you guys(and gals) is appreciated!

Few detailing questions on steps
Eric replied to duke4165's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Not to hijack your thread, but in the interest of not starting another thread. If I'm already going to Clay then LPS is there any benefit to waxing under the LPS or not really? (I also plan to do H20 G&g on the next wash) -
That's a great solution! If it's possible it'd be nice to have a Remember Me feature, but I don't know how involved of a change that is.

Dan - I'm on Android and using Chrome. Here's a screenshot. I did that in the past but found it kind of inconvenient. Tmccoy's work around is less so

I never thought of that, that is a good work around. I'll do that in the meantime. Figured it's good to let them know if they didn't already.

Not exactly a forum issue but on the main mobile shopping site I cannot sign in because the black banner at the top of the screen hides the "profile" button. Is there a way to fix this? Also, is it possible to have a Remember Me so we don't always have to log in? Thanks!

Knowing when to wipe down or to wash again
Eric replied to Eric's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah we had a light sprinkle Sunday night other than that sunny but gusty so it has dust and pollen and evidence of some rain mixed with dust. I really wish I could garage her. As far as the detail on Sat as cringworthy as it sounds I only did a one bucket wash with a different brand soap. Dried with a bath towel (I know! ????) Then waxed with a wax similar to buttery as far as consistency. That's about it for the paint. A poor wash after watching the way it's supposed to be done. Needless to say my 2 bucket wash kit is already on its way. I may just do a full was the proper way and seal the paint. -
Knowing when to wipe down or to wash again
Eric posted a question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Hey Guys, I'm new here and will be getting my Adam's products soon enough. I just had a question. I washed my car last Saturday. Unfortunately my car cannot be garaged and stays outside all day. Today the car as a good layer of dust and some other small items on it. Can it still be maintained at this stage or I need to wash it all over again?
