Slickit

I ll have to wait for tonight since the full sun today makes the truck so hot i literally cannot keep water or any other liquid on it for more than 30sec at best. I really wish i had a garage this truck could fit into.

Well almost 2 months later and with only about 800 miles on the road and now the hood has zero hydrophobic properties, the doors and fenders seem to be mostly holding up, and there is suddenly some very "hard" stuff on my truck that I cant seem to get off with a regular wash pad and the ol 2 bucket method. I uploaded a video clip (probably going to get flak for doing this) of me very lightly running my finger tips/nails across the surface of my trucks paint job/finish. Not so hard that i would ever be able to scratch it or anything but enough to make a sound to assist in describing how much "debris" is on my finish. This is after a wash and I am not sure what the best method would be to get this clean and smooth again. Especially considering there is supposed to be a ceramic coat on this truck which should have seriously impeded somethings ability to stick this well, or so I thought. Truck was left in a parking lot for 3 weeks while I was at work. No trees at all and only dust in the air, one rain.

Sorry been afk from this for a while, real life issues. My filtration system is in good working order although there are certain things I don't have the stuff the test for very specifically. My system does recharge with salt and it flushes/cleans its own filters every 4 days or so to extend life, but i can say there is one filter that i think is supposed to be replaced in the next 6 months so maybe there is some residue getting by. The acid neutralizer is mostly charcoal but it gets filtered again after that and then salt after that. (maybe its the salt!?) But i can say that there is no de ionizer in the system so i don't expect perfect rinses from just that and I also believe that after washing this truck and a few others I kinda have a better system/method sorted. With H2OG&G being the final layer which seems to work ever so slightly better on the vinyl stickers on the truck over the boost. But the boost seems to be a little more slick, again but with using the H2OG&G doubling as my drying method with those fantastic edge-less grey towels that'll be my choice i think. The water spots are still not completely off the glass and a few left in certain areas after lots of claying, i think my clay bar is toast (it looks like i ground it into the dirt) so i ordered another one to finish just a little bit on the hood and roof. Confirm whole house system and water is supposed to be very nearly PH neutral last test was about 2 months ago. I can confirm that the professionals did "polish and buff" the truck before they applied the coating because other small defects are now gone, ones that could only be polished out and i can see spots they missed and where their "auto polisher" was run against vinyl and valleys. I would take it back to the installers but by now i have fixed so much of it on my own and I don't feel like dealing with anything they might come back with like "its my fault" cause i would probably loose it on them. Hopefully with a little more clay I will be able to get it all taken care of. All the areas I have clayed so far and applied the G&G have been reacting as expected but I have also not driven much since then so when I have to take it on another trip then I will really know. I will post an update after claying and cleaning in a few days and another one in a couple months to let yall know how it all comes out. Thanks for all the suggestions and help. To those still not sure about getting the coating I would say don't let this one situation and instance be your determining factor. Look for more reviews and videos on youtube. Maybe go to a car show and ask people if they have it and see what you think. Edit: P.S. Thoughts on using 0000 steel wool to remove waterspots on glass?

Adams ceramic boost was applied twice the next day after the Ceramic paint coating was applied about 18 hours after the ceramic was done as i understand and the two boost coats done about 8 hours apart. I was more recently able to get a lot of the water spots on the roof off by clay'ing them out (what i could reach anyway) but on the glass.... Back glass i got about 98% of the spots off. Side windows id say average at about 75% spots removed but the darn windshield was just not giving up, probably only got 10-15% of those spots off with the clay bar. I tried low pressure wiping and that was basically useless so i tried firm hard pressure and wiping and circles. That was able to get some progress but really really hope this isnt going to be needed for each of my washes cause i simply cannot afford that at this rate.(both $ wise and more so my darn shoulders are killing me) Picture below is after i clayed the windshield Edit: Just went outside to check things and its super humid and in the dark pretty much the whole truck looks like crap, water spots everywhere, streaks from apparently not buffing enough even though it looked perfect in daylight. This is just all very dissatisfying, i guess my expectations were simply too high.

First off, Hello everybody! History: I have a 2019 F-150 that I took to a company to get ceramic coated. Due to weather constraints it did take them about 4 days to ceramic coat my truck with Adams Ceramic Paint Coating Kit. I had a good feeling from the person that did actually do the coating that he knew what he was doing and seemed to care for doing a good an correct job. Once I received my vehicle I will say it looked great but I would rate the job done as a 90% (I'm picky) there were spots where it looked like the coating was not thoroughly worked in. Current issue: Fast forward 3 weeks to my first wash. Got all my stuff together and started to attempt a touchless car wash with the foam gun and drying mostly with air. But before I could even get the drying towel out I noticed a absolute massive amount of water spots on my truck. I even pigged my water hose to remove any contaminants in the hose. Also I have a $7K water filtration system cause I hate hard/acidic water. It was a cool day with no breeze to speak of and overcast, I decided to wash again using a pressure washer to rinse and better "scrub" to maybe help with the spots. Alas pressure washer wont start. I spend the night fixing that and in the morning I begin to wash again, no difference with the pressure washer so I setup and go for the two bucket method to get all the dirt off the truck and hope the water spots will go as well. NOPE. So then while the truck is wet I get the H20 G&G out and start wiping down panels, kinda buffing with the HGG to easily rub out as many spots as I can. This helps with many of the spots that I can reach and did great taking the spots off the vinyl stickers on the truck but the spots are not completely gone. Unfortunately I did not take any before pictures but below are some after pictures, there are more spots than in the pic but die to the lighting I couldn't get them all with my cell phone camera. I really did expect more from the coating to stop these spots from forming, especially with it being so very very fresh. Am I being ridiculous for expecting more or are my after pics what you would expect to get after lightly polishing with HGG? Edit: meant to post this in general but I guess this section is ok as well. Thanks for any help, advice or tips. The windshield pic is the best depiction of what most of the truck looked like before the HGG hand "polish/buff"

there are different styles of blower nozzles you can use. some made for pressure delivery and some for higher flow rates that generally utilize a venture setup to suck more flow in from the outside of the nozzle. That having been said I have tried both and can say they neither of them work as well as I have seen leaf blowers and the MB in videos.
