  1. Ok it is time to put this to bed adams polishes. dry application of hgg and i am not talking about on a dry car and 2 towels one wet and one dry but a dry car and applying it with a applicator and buffing it off. i have sent a chat text to adams and was told that chemist said that he see little if any difference in wet or dry application ( hope he understood i met complete dry application). called and was told dry application is not as effective. my question then is , not as affective in what way? less shine, durability, longevity ? what does that mean? so now i am bringing this here. i want to know you experience with a complete dry application if you have done it. if you have gotten a definitive official answer from adams share it. if you are getting different answers share again. adams people please chime in and lets put this question to bed!! either it is as affective in all ways dry or not and if not in what ways. either it is light or darkside or jedi or sith more powerful ......... getting of course here forget that last part and answer hgg dry question.
  2. I was wondering if anyone knew if the cleaner amount in CS3 is more or less than what is in Ceramic Waterless Wash? if the cleaner amount is less than what is in CWW then it is not superior to me. the main purpose of a type of CWW is to first to clean and second to support the ceramic coating. there are too many ways to boost a ceramic coating for the CS3 to be week on cleaning. not bumping it just saying. I tried it for the first time and I liked it because of the ceramic effect but just wondered if the cleaning properties were good before I dropped CWW.
  3. I was giving all my Brilliant glaze away to my nephew because I really couldn't find a use for it. With the way most sealants and waxes now add so much gloss I just didn't have a use for the stuff and I had tons of it from mystery boxes. after reading post on brilliant glaze for cleaning windows I finally decided to give it a shot. let me tell you I felt like calling my nephew up and saying april fools and give me my stuff back. I first tried it on some windows one mourning after I did a interior detail on my car and it got late and I couldn't do the windows and there was cleaner and dressing on the side windows and windshield. got tired of it and I had some brilliant glaze in car and some window towels I left in car. before pulling out for work I applied some to driver window in a big spot and some to windshield in front of me at top of window, drove a few blocks and stop sign I wiped it off and bam!!!! clean!!. so today I was doing a exterior detail on same car and I used it on my windows, my last step. the front windshield was extra dirty so I did use wind cleaner first I didn't know weather that was too much. but I applied it to all my exterior windows and let me tell you they were clean and streakless. I can honestly say this was the best window cleaning I have done in the little over 2 years I have been detailing. why didn't you people tell me I could use this stuff like this!! some of you said that you use it on windows but not as your main window clean but you sounded like it was something you used after you cleaned the windows. if you haven't tried this for cleaning your windows you should give it a shot. only question I have is can you use brilliant glaze on a real dirty window. oh and also can I apply a glass sealant over this stuff without any loss of durability.
  4. I have some brilliant glaze, several bottles actually, I go from mystery boxes a while ago. I have used it on paint but how else can I use it? I was watching videos on people using it on the windshield. what does it do for the window. some were using it like it actually cleaned the window on the interior and if it does can you use it on the exterior. help and rookie out.
  5. yo everyone! I did call adams and talked to one of the guys, cant remember his name. when I asked was he aware of my post he actually said yes, I was surprised even though I was trying to get some attention to this problem. I am not here to just bash adams on this I was just so disappointed cause I wanted this to work good and I also do not want anyone else to go through a bad product or a application process that needs to be better. anyway, we talk about it and instead of telling me about remedies that may or may not work he said there has been a lot of serious discussions on application and they are going more than likely update the video and instructions on the ceramic glass sealant. I do not want to say here what they are going to change bout the application because they are still discussing it. I just urged him to let them know to do it quick so others do not go through this since right not it is not a easy fix, my glass is still messed up. so thanks adams for listening and I await what you officially have to say on this subject. until then I will not use this product on my cars or customers.
  6. no real update yet. I am waiting to see any advice adams can give me. starting to think I am being ignored. every so often go grab a towel and go out side and rub on a spot on my wife's windshield in one spot for about 5 or 6 minutes to get the ceramic glass sealant off. I have come to realize even if I get all the high spots off the glass is still very foggy. the only thing I can do now is get some good glass polish grab my DA and do some glass polishing. really let down by this and I see no announcement from adam about this issue I see other having. not feeling real good about adams right now if they dont start warning people and pulling this product until it is improved they are just hopping to take peoples money. sorry but that is how I see it.
  7. oh one problem I did have. after applying to driver side with part a I went over to passenger side and there was hardly any product left same with b
  8. well because I didn't want any sun issues I applied it in the evenings after 4pm and since it is no longer daylight savings time sun was going down. after I applied part a I went immediately to part b like instructions said. started removing residue. after trying a dry towel I got glass cleaner and I couldn't get it to budge that's when I knew I had a problem. I tried every thing as I said in initial post. I will try spray coating after I get home from church. I think there needs to be in the instructions or on website any problems people my have with this product. like I said I am pretty mad right now still was hoping to get it right to add it to my customers as a step down from a 3 year glass coating I do. plus bragged to wife how I was going to hook up her ceramic car and have complete ceramic everything on out side.
  9. Oh when I say getting this stuff off I mean the haze and residue after you apply the A & B liquids. how can you help me? tell me how to get it off the windshield! I cant! I am going to try tomorrow again. I have tried a dry towel, whole bottle of adams glass cleaner, 1/4 can of aerosol glass cleaner, lot of the angel wax vision glass cleaner which is a stronger cleaner I dont know what else to do!! going to try a surface prep tomorrow if that fails I will try citro 266 if I can find it. boy what a waste of time. please adams pull this till it if perfected
  10. I tried ceramic glass coating and it sucks getting it off!!! my wife car is my ceramic car I use only the ceramic stuff on it, so when the ceramic glass coating came out of course I got it. I got several a&b packs and a kit. figured I might be able to sale a few applications to customers. boy am I glad I did it on my wife's car first. I watched the video at least 10 times, I read direction 5 times. I figured ok got it. my wife's car is very new but I cleaned the glass anyway ( glass cleaner, plastic razor blade, clay bar that came with kit, surface prep) then I applied the a and b wipes the way instructions told me. GETTING THAT STUFF OFF WAS CRAZY!!! AND AFTER A FULL HOUR TRYING TO GET IT OFF IT IS STILL THERE!!! I used up all the glass cleaner it came with , used up a forth of a aerosol can and then I got another stronger glass cleaner from another detail product maker I had and I cant get this stuff off. I usually drive my wife's car to church and get customers looking at it but this time I am parking in the back, way in the back. Trying to remove the haze is almost impossible. I have to get up in the mourning and try again. I live in California maybe someone from the Anaheim store can bring a blow torch and help out. This product is not ready for release I dont care what anyone says. I have wasted my time and money after all the rubbing I have done and still have to do there want be any rain repellency left. the boys in the lab have let me down this time big time. someone should have said the removal was this tough I really done know if I can get all the product off without removing the effect sheesh there needs to be a recall on this junk!!! I am pretty mad. I say pull this from selling till it is perfected. go ahead delete my post I know you will and let others walk right into this.
  11. I thought adams had fallen and hit there collective heads !! lolol Water!!! it is april fools lolololololololol 10:53 at night here in California and I finally got it ! lololol dont talk about me to bad I was about to reject all adams products for this blatant, think we are fools, money grab for a bottle of special water lolololol.
  12. ok everyone just as title says winter is almost up been doing some planning about what to do with my car, wife, and daughters car. Mine first. White buick lacrosse. time to act like a real detailer and make the white car shine. help me out how do I make a white car shine like the sun. chime in everyone.
  13. Thanks for responding shane. I will remember about the paragraphs. Think I will respond numbered so I stick to one thing as you can see I am a little impatient when it comes to writing on the forums as you can tell but you always seem to respond where others are probably saying forget it lol. 1) Glad you see about what I was saying about the difference between a "one step" and a "all in one". Some companys are advertising a "one step" but there product is really a "all in one". So I am wondering if adams "one step" is a true "one step" or does it give protection which would make it a " all in one". 2) I have been polishing a little 99% of customer dont ask for it but I dont have many yet since I am a weekend warrior but I want to practice so I can expand services if I want. I have had cars come in for a exterior detail that after I clean paint with normal means, wash, clay, chemical decontam, etc, etc, I realize after I see them again I probably should have done a polish or correction to clean more so I will have a nude and naked paint, seeing the way the protection lasted. Most of my customers I have are willing to pay and people they send me are impressed so they are also. For the ones that have those twice a year I wash my car or use coin machine auto " destroy my clear coat fill it with swirls" car washes, I want to polish. 3) I have a lot of polishing equipment. I got from mystery boxes, buckets, etc, etc, and stuff I bought to experiment. I have the 15mm and 12mm and will soon get the 21mm ( some of my customers have suvs need I say more). I learned from terrible experiences when I first got started I would need a lot of pads also after I called adams and talked to them about polishing ( sling !! lord I am still having nightmares ). polishing is what made me a utube detailing junky. 4) can someone talk about cleaning pads with a brush between pads and how to do it cant seem to find a lot of videos on it for some reason. point me in the right direction if you can. 5) fortunately for me I have neighbors who have trashed or old cars they like for me to experiment on and drive by and ask If I need there cars a lot. they pay me with me asking for pay since I am experimenting and they agree that any thing that goes wrong they want get mad. these are relatives and old neighbors that I can trust. so far everyone is reeeeaaaaal happy and have good looking cars for not much. after my first year I stop a lot of that ( everyone is not happy bout that lol) and started regular charging for things I feel I got down real good. 6) does anyone know if adams "one step " has protection which would make it a " all in one". 7) ok that's it for now I will post more as I go along I hope more people chime in. pictures coming soon.
  14. the rookie is back!! well been getting into polishing more. winter will be over soon here in California. got customers wanting new looking cars, minor imperfections cleared and all the people with good looking cars who went through machines at car washes and those use the same terry cloth dirty towels hand car washes are already seeking me out. I been avoiding polishing but I see no other way specially with some customers going on utube and learning ( sometimes knowledge is a dangerous thing lolol). ok I also been learning and I notice that some people call there polish a one step when it seems to me it is a all in one. to me a true one step would correct and polish or compound, correct, and polish at same time depending on what pad you use. now I called adams and was told there one step also puts down a layer of protection. to me that makes it a all in one. I wish it didn't do that I would like to clean paint and start with a naked and nude paint you might say and lay down my own protection so as not to hinder something like adams paint sealant. seen to many post by adams and others saying for best bond paint sealants and ceramic coating need a clean, naked paint so if I finished with adams one step or there finishing polish that would not be so. would using the paint prep wipe those product protection right off? you guys are the experts so if anyone can say for sure the protection from the one step or finishing polish either comes off easy with paint prep wipe or does not effect sealant or ceramic in any way talk about it here. most of these people are not looking for 100% and would know the difference from 100% and 90 so a one step would work out for me. but when I lay down a layer of protection I want it to last, I usually layer which I want get into now but what want it to last. the acid rain here in California is deadly to paint so I like to give good protection. so help a rookie out. tell me your experience with one step if you use it or finishing polish with a sealant . I had a bad experience with car I used brilliant glaze on the paint under paint sealant and I did 2 other cars I see all the time with out the glaze. the glazed car paint sealant didn't last long in a 3 day rain we had a couple weeks back like we are having now. the other 2 cars were beading and sheeting like the first day I applied it. from now on I want a naked paint if possible. so just talk here about this issue if you have comments or advice.
