Welcome Donald!

I can't speak for RV's but, my 52 Chevy was heavily oxidized (it is Black) and the pain was the original. I stayed with the white foam but mixed the polish with compound (it's in a video somewhere). Very light pressure and made more passes than I did on other cars. It did amazing.

Welcome to the Forum John

i had to step in here because this is a common misconception. A Virus is not a living organism, which means it cannot be "killed". A virus is an inert molecule until it comes in contact with a "host" cell, then it attaches and does its thing. What you need to do to a virus to render it harmless is to treat it in a way that keeps it from being able to attach to a host cell.

Welcome to the forum @crazyfingers

Welcome Alex! Glad you are here

Will I have used the foam cannon now for over a few years and on all different sizes of cars and I usually have 1/4 left after covering the car completely. I then dump the remainder in my wash bucket. I have several cars that have more surface than the Z. Not sure why this is happening to you

Welcome Rodney

Welcome Dmoc.

@Richas far as the trim, which is textured, what kind of prep do you do? Is it just cleaning (coating prep/IPA) or is there something further I need to do? Getting warmer here so I may actually get a chance soone to do the new car.

Welcome Trede! Nice looking Car!

Okay. I did some searches on YouTube and found quite a few videos where people did some test on different Spray coatings. Some Ceramic, some Graphene, etc., etc., etc. The have a little measuring tool that determine "Glossiness" in GU (Gloss Units?) and the differences were (IMO) minimal. They were all in the 92-96 range. I did notice that the difference in several tests between the Adam's CSC and Adam's GCSC was about 1.5 - 2 GU. The tester was all impressed by that and stated that he could see the difference. Admittedly, I am 66 years of age and my eyes aren't what they used to be but, in the video, I saw little difference. I did see a little difference on my Morris ( the Dk. Green Woody in my sig.) when I experimented with Ceramic boost. Not so much in depth but in gloss. But again that could be my old eyes. IMHO, will the Graphene Coating give you a Rich, Deep, Glossy Shine! YES! BUT, it will be at it's best if you spend the time doing the prep work that is necessary to get as close to perfect as possible. Will there be a difference between Americana/Patriot/CSC/GCSC/GCC? YES...and if experience means anything I know that when something new comes out, I will try it and at least believe that it looks better that last years latest and greatest. Also, it makes a difference as to what the paint is on the car and your level of satisfaction. For example, My Morris is a Clearcoat and it looks deeper and Glossier that most. The MGB is a recent repaint but is a single stage. It has the Gloss but the depth is not what I get on any car with Clearcoat (IMO) the 52 Chevy is original paint and the best I get with it is with PS and HGG - it is neither Glossy or Deep but it is 68 y.o. paint and I am happy with it.

Jon, I have found with waxes and coatings the shine depth, etc (looks) seem to come from the prep work as much as anything else, The coatings do seem to be more "shiny" but as far as depth is concerned, I seem to see more of a difference when the prep (polish, etc) is done well. For example, a friend of mine put another brand spray ceramic coating on his car last year (he did not take my advice) and did not do anything but clay his car before applying the spray coating. He couldn't understand why my car had a deeper shine than his (I clayed, polished, etc.) since I had only used Americana. Just MHO
