    It has had been a while since the wife's garage queen had gotten my attention for a weekend. I washed on Friday and spent Saturday and Sunday polishing it and then putting on a Graphene coating and today was spent on interior.  It's going to get a set of Pirelli Scorpion Plus 3 tires this week and then I'll coat the wheels and do the wheel wells while they are off.

    Today was 55*F and sunny.  As promised after church (and after my brother and mom left) I washed my wife’s Beast, her 2016 Durango R/T. It was Uber filthy and covered with road salt, grit, grime and who knows what else. First things first, all four wheels were cleaned with Adam’s Wheel and Tire Cleaner, rinsed then treated to Adam’s Rinse & Coat. I used a strip wash from the guy in Tacoma WA in the foam gun to remove the gunk on the paint. Following a good rinse I washed it with many MF wash mitts in one bucket using Adam’s Car Shampoo. Now before I rinsed it I was thinking that the Advanced Graphene Spray Coating had utterly failed.  NOPE!   As soon as the soap was rinsed off, the water first sheeted then beaded like crazy. I did a sheeting rinse and dried the Beast using Adam’s Graphene Detail Spray as a drying aid. Did I tell you how much I’m starting to dig that stuff? Anyway, I finished up with Adam’s Tire Shine on the Michelins then started taking pics. She’s looking great for 140,000+ miles!

    Hard to believe that it has been over 6 months since anyone posted on this thread.  While the majority of my time is spent shining vehicles, this is a different twist since I finished the workbench top.
     
    Disclaimer:  The information is not documented or endorsed by Adam's and following the items is strictly at your own risk.  Never use a Pad on alternative objects that you intend to use again on a vehicle.  The ones I previously used for headlights make great donors since they are usually abused, yet have plenty of life left in them for alternate uses.

    To get the shine I ended up with 10 coats of Spar Urethane, with #0000 steel wood and/or 600 grit sandpaper and a final sanding with 1000 grit. Anyone unfamiliar with Spar Urethane it has good resistance to UV light, can handle big temperature differences and generally does not crack or yellow.  The top itself is Birch Butcher Block, 26 inches wide with two 8 foot sections.  This was a slow process with a minimum of two days between coats, all actions were by hand.

    The polishing was accomplishing with a retired Adams' Headlight Kit using the Blue Pad with Compound, followed by a White pad and One-Stop-Polish and a final once-over with Polish.   The last step was to go over it with Adam's Glass Cleaner and an old microfiber to remove all the residue.
     
    One of the things when doing wood and Spar Urethane is to limit the number of passes and don't dwell on any single spot - i.e. keep moving.  I still worked 2 foot sections, actually 2 foot by 26 inches, kept it cool in the garage and worked quickly.
     
    I do believe the end result qualifies as shiny and an alternative use for Adam's products.

    It was a sunny and balmy 47* F today so I took advantage of the great mid February midwestern weather and cleaned the SS. I used Adam’s Rinseless Wash in my jumbo IK Sprayer with HOT water as a presoak. I used 8 plush MF towels in a 2 gallon bucket to clean the paint and door jambs. The remaining wash medium was used with old MF towels to clean the wheels. I used Adam’s Graphene Detail Spray as a drying aid, one spritz per panel except for hood and roof which got two. My opinion on it has changed 180*.
    I’m convinced I had a bad bottle of it last year as I never had good results with it no matter how I used it or how much I used.

    Tomorrow after church my wife’s Beast will get a regular wash with foam gun, etc.  It is mega filthy.

    I just wanted to send a special thanks to the folks on this forum that religiously answer questions and give feedback.  Specifically @RayS @falcaineer @Dan@Adams and there are many others as well but I see these guys chiming in on almost any topic.  Thank you guys for taking the time each day to read and help.  For me, it is invaluable.  Often times I read about problems that I don't necessary face but still find the knowledge and approach each person takes as valuable future info. 
     
    Kudos to you all and keep up the good work repping the best car care company in the biz..... in my opinion. 
     
    I put this in the feedback section because I think it fits best here.

    shooterjgs reacted to RayS in CS3 and Graphene detail mix...   
    Hi Johnny,
    I had a similar situation and decided not to mix them.   My reasoning was that I didn't want the dilute the Graphene CS3 and I had enough vehicles with regular ceramic coatings that I knew I'd work through the original CS3.  When I first started that routine, I was using the original CS3 about 3 times for one time of the Graphene CS3 and now it is about the opposite.  I'm down to maybe 24 ounces of the original left and within another month so, that will be gone. 
     
    Of note, the original CS3 works good for doing the bug removal even on Graphene coated vehicles.  I'll grab the original CS3, do the front end to get the bugs off and then do the entire vehicle with the Graphene CS3 afterwards.
