I have a white grand cherokee and somethinga about the FCA vehicles and their bright white paint is something special. its so glossy and pops like no other. Good looking vehicle.

I just used the TAR over the weekend and im very pleased with it. Works very quickly and i love that its an aerosol. Make sure you have ventilation tho its a very strong smelling chemical.

got it thank you sir

Can any of the admins do me a solid and help me out with the constant password reset every time i log in? Thanks in advance.

Absolutely, CS3 is my favorite product of Adams right now, i was using the CWW as my drying aid and topper but now CS3 took over lol. However i dont use it as a drying aid as the bottle is small and cost more. My thing personally is i love going back over the dry panels with CS3 as my detailer.

Thats good to hear, once the csc wears off id recommend going with their ceramic coating. The process is the same as you did and a polisher would make quick work of any light polishing that would be needed. Especially since you would want to exfoliate the clear coat prior to coating but at least you'll be good for a few years and reap the benefits. Since you do have some type of ceramic on there id also recommend getting a bottle of CS3, that product is fantastic for everything it is. I mainly use it as a ceramic detailer, the gloss is awesome from it and provides great protection.

The stuff works really well and can be diluted and thats a plus. Extra 16oz would be a nice grab!!

Damn good work my man. This write up is unreal and im not sure what took longer the vehicle or the write up lol. But killer job on everything. As others have said wait till you get your hands on a polisher. I cant imagine how worked your arms were after using Revive lol. The polishers are just so great and easy to use. I have the 15mm, 12mm mini, and Micro. All 3 aren't needed but always great to have. Since your truck looks to me like its in great shape clear coat wise , if you do get a polisher it would be advisable to get either a pen light or some type of correction light to get close up on the paint if your picky to check for marring and swirls. Last year i used the new One Step Polish to clear up some marring and swirls on my bright white jeep and i will say it did a great job and removing almost all my marks and finishes well imo. After that i did what you did with prepping and using the ceramic spray. The ceramic spray didnt quite last thru the winter but i will be redoing it again soon and once i have a garage accessible will go to a true ceramic coat. Again great job and i know there will be a lot of people that can use this incredible write for first time detailing!

Thank you for your input Wolf. That was my main concern was degrading the coating to which ill stick with my other option of using a rinseless wash. Thanks

that would definitely be my ultimate solution but not gonna happen lol.

The apc i was referring to was Optimum Power Clean, diluted at 3:1 or even 5:1. Very widely used product that is super safe for clear coat.(just didn't want to talk about other companies products on here). But my main plan was to use a rinseless wash and my pump sprayer does have a foaming tip. My thing is that i will be bringing all of this with me to the pay n spray like i usually do during the winter. At home i use my pressure washer and foam cannon. Just wanted to see what anyone else uses that breaks up or softens any debris on the vehicle from driving.

Just out of curiosity i wanted to see what everyones methods are for winter washing pre sinses if coated with the CSC 2.0? Im from NEPA and the salt is awful up here. I have a gallon pump sprayer and typically i use a diluted form of an apc along with some car soap for a pre rinse when im at the pay n spray along with hot 2 bucket method. Just wondering what everyone else uses if your coated with the CSC. I want to make sure whatever i use isnt going to degrade the spray coating at all.

The ceramic waterless wash is probably my favorite product. I use it as a drying aid and also a quick detailer right after im done washing. It leaves great protection on the paint with no streaking.

thanks, this is true however it does have the sio2 in it and im figuring about 10% or so. However it works incredible as a standalone sealant. but warmer weather is here and i wanted to strip everything and clay so i figured that would remove it all anyway.

Knowing that a true ceramic coating has to be removed by machine , how about the Ceramic Boost? Will a strip wash be strong enough to remove it seeing as its such a lesser amount of Sio2?

Thank you everyone for the great answers , sorry i didn't realize these answers until now in April. Usually i dont do anything other that the CB after a wash ( Wash & Wax 7% Sio2) but for that day i tried it out to see how it would be and of course there was a killer gloss to it. But to save product i wont follow the CB with SW anymore.

Lately ive really been liking the combination of washing with WW and then after drying using CB 2.0 as a standalone sealant on my non-coated paint. Question is should you put the SW down before the CB or vice versa? I always thought you top with wax but it seems now people are putting the wax down first and then sealing in. Anyones take on this? Thanks.
