LOL - couldn't wait to get out. Tennessee is a great place to live! I was hoping that some of the previous responders to this thread would chime in, but I'm guessing that a lot of them no longer use this forum.

OK - moved out of Illinois and down to Tennessee into a new home. Our bathroom has a glass wall partition that doesn't get direct water, but does fog up a lot, especially in the winter. Now that this thread is 3 years old, I was wondering if anyone had any updates on uses with newer products that give the best results. My primary area of interest is: - initial cleaning - coating for water repelling - reduce fogging Thanks for any help!

OK, thanks for your responses. I've looked at some YouTube videos and the ones that use cerium oxide seem to be the way to go, albeit usually combined with some polishing compound. My questions is would you recommend any specific combo of products? And what are glass pads? Curious mind....

My wife tried cleaning bugs off her windshield with a soft bright sponge, using the green "soft" side, thinking it wouldn't scratch anything. Well, you know the answer. Is getting rid of light scratching on a glass windshield similar to getting light scratches out of a paint coat? If so, what specific products would you recommend to use and how to use? I've got a pretty good collection of Adams products to choose from so fire away. Thanks for you help!!

Dan - Thank you! That is very helpful. I met you a couple of years ago at the Adams tent while at the NCM BASH. You were helpful then and you’re helpful again. Hope to see you guys there next year. Tell Adam to make it! 😄

Brewder - I was a long time user of Zaino as well. I find Adams products to be as good, if not better than Zaino. Check out the YouTube videos that Adams have for some great advice. Welcome to the world of ceramics, too!

I've been an avid Adams user for years now and I thought there used to be a lot of products to understand. It's one thing to understand what a product is good for, but another thing to find out what products are compatible with others, and are best when used together, etc. Now with all the new ceramic options, it's getting even more complicated. I think there are a lot of Adams customers that would love a guide on what products are best for various situations and what can or should be used with others. For example, I bought the Adams Ceramic UV coating kit (right before you came out with the Graphene kit ). So one option is to maintain the coating with Ceramic Boost. But now there is a Graphene Spray and Graphene Detail Spray. Can I use these with the "old" ceramic coating or not. With all the various options with all the products, I think we could benefit from a general guide that helps us with all the expert suggestions, tips, etc. Thanks for the consideration!

I have a similar question, but let me take it a step further. I ceramic coated my car last month (used the "old" ceramic coating, as a month after I bought that kit they came out with the Graphene coating ). I recently purchased both the Graphene Ceramic Spray as well as the Graphene Detail Spray. Could I put a coating of the Graphene Ceramic Spray coating on over the current application of the previous Adams ceramic product? Would it be similar to just using Ceramic Boost? Or would you suggest not? And if so, could I then just use the Graphene Ceramic Detail Spray ongoing after that for a quick spray clean up and shine? I thought there were a lot of products to consider before all these ceramics came out! But this is getting a little crazy. I hope there can be a general guide put out to help understand all the products, how they differ, what products work best with others, etc. Thanks for your replies!

Asking for a friend... 😂

I hope you guys at Adams are now only using the better supplier!

Thanks, RayS! This is great information, with some new ideas I hadn't thought of before. My cars are relatively new so I don't think I'll need the more drastic approach, but good to know. I'd also like to see what everyone is doing for the inside of the windshield, if there are any unique ideas that work, as well. Thanks!

I know there are a number of detailing experts on this forum so I thought I'd ask these questions to get your best recommendations on glass! Given all the available products to do different things for glass cleaning and protection, I'm sure many of you have tried various plans of attack and have found your "go-to" method. I realize that glass cleaner and claying no doubt will be the foundation for most things, but then what? Rain-X (ha)? Ceramic coating? What type? Maintenance? Q #1 - What is your recommendation for the best way to keep glass (mainly windshield) clean and protected, as well as maintenance suggestions? Q #2 - Assuming ceramic coating may be the new popular suggestion, what about maintenance? Would you clean the glass with "regular" glass cleaner? Would that have any affect on ceramic coating performance? Could you clean with glass cleaner and then use something like Ceramic Boost? I know that Brilliant Glaze used to be the recommended product, but what's everyone's opinion today? Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions!

OK, thanks Guys!

OK, guys and girls. Spent all day Tuesday washing, decontaminating, polishing, prepping and then coating my car with Adams UV Ceramic coating. So far it looks great. Its been 48 hours - do most people put on a second coat? I've got 2/3 of the bottle of coating that says to use it up if opened over 30 days. Advice? Thanks in advance!

What do you guys recommend to keep the engine bay looking clean and (somewhat) shiny?
