  1. Well its 2020. I have spent countless hours (and dollars on Adams products) and nothing can stand up to the forces of nature. Was parked at work and the California winds pushed a dumpster into my car. Ugh! (Wish I could polish this out) Dumpster vs Camaro - YouTube video that shows the traveling dumpster
  2. Thanks! They are a pain to keep clean, but I used the Ceramic Wheel Coating and that helps. I use the CS3 as a drying aid every other wash, and I use it between washes to keep it clean (probably every 5 days or so). I use the H20GG every other month. Both are excellent, but the car does seem to get dustier than I ever remember. Both give a lot of gloss, but I think the H20GG shine lasts longer. The combination of the two gives me shine, protection, and a lot of beading. Makes the car extremely easy to wash or wipe down. I will probably be staying with this combination unless I decide to switch to the Graphene Spray Coating, if so I will just use CS3.
  3. Looks great! I followed pretty much the same steps and alternate Detail Spray and CS3 as a drying aid. Excellent color choice!!
  4. Hello, A couple questions before I switch my routine- 1) If I use the Graphene Spray Coating (instead of my old regiment of Paint Sealant), do I no longer need Brilliant Glaze? 2) For maintenance, do I reduce to CS3 or Boost, and no longer use HGG? 3) Can I apply the Spray Coating over my Ceramic Wheel Coating, or is this unnecessary? 4) What is the best process for plastic trim? Thanks in advance!
  5. What is the best wait time for wheels between the coating and the boost? Is it 12-24 hours like I have read on the paint coating? Is shorter, or longer have better results? Thanks!
  6. How often do you think you will need to go back to the polish prep and CSC stage? Versus Maintenance mode with CS3? What made you choose the spray over the coating? Thanks!
  7. Hello! Searched for an answer and couldn't find one so I apologize if it has already been answered. New to HGG, and read many articles on application. I just got an Air Cannon, and wondering how well they go together. Just additional info, my cars have paint sealant and I have alternated some Americana and Buttery. Do I: a) Spray before using Air Cannon b) Use Air Cannon to get bulk water off, spray, and then MF towel the rest c) Some other option d) These two don't really play together well Thanks for any two cents!
  8. Thanks for the video. Have not used this yet, but glad to see it in action.
  9. Used it for the first time recently, it works great! Had used the wheel cleaner before, but surprised how dirty my tires were.
  10. Yes, it felt rough in some areas to the touch. I will give that a shot also when I can get the car back for awhile. Thank you!
  11. I tried all four steps of the Removal Methods but not really in the order listed. I used the detail spray with the clay and that wasn't effective. I also tried Vinegar but no luck. I used the Correcting Polish multiple times but it just was not coming off. (It did get smoother though, but still visible)
  12. Hello! My daughter received a car from family and it has been sitting in sprinklers. One side has pretty bad water spots and I can't seem to get them off. The car is a Hyundai Elantra I used: 1)a clay bar 2)Finishing Polish 3)Correcting Polish My guess is it might be etched. Daughter says it isn't worth the effort, but I can't let it go. Should I try a heavier polish? Sprayable Compound, One Step, or Heavy Correcting (or just figure that is as good as it gets?) Thanks for any help!
  13. Hi John, I am a newbie doing my own cars and went thru the same thing. I was afraid to touch my new car. Once finished, I am extremely happy with the results. I ended up: Strip Wash Visco Clay w/ Detail Spray Revive Polish Paint Sealant Brilliant Glaze Americana Wax (Will follow up with H2O after this Saturday's California opening) I just did my in-laws car and it was an older car with scratches. I used a machine polisher and not only are the scratches gone, I think it looks better than my new car. In about 8-10 months when the paint sealant is gone, I will machine polish my new car. I left my in-laws car out overnight and a day, and I wiped it down with some detail spray before I started polishing. I didn't have Waterless Wash and am hoping/assuming the polishing removed and detail spray left on. I used the Correction and then the Finishing Polish. I can't express how pleased I am. Both of them seem mild enough that there doesn't seem to be much risk for someone new like myself. To answer your last question, I did NOT do the jams as they don't normally see weather and it seemed like a lot of work with all the small creases and hard to reach areas. (And I don't see them as much)
  14. Thank you too! From my little bit of research, maybe black wheel wax might be an idea suggestion? (I guess eventually I need to "not be afraid" of ceramic products)
  15. Hi Juan, I guess I didn't look in the ceramic "world" because I hadn't gone ceramic with the car, but that shouldn't matter. Hadn't thought of ceramic! Will take a look, thanks! If I stayed wax though, would the items that I have on hand be good, the AW or BW? Hoping to get HGG at the Anaheim grand opening, would that work?
  16. Hello! My car has metallic black painted rims. Before I found Adams I was using a CG MaxCoat Wheel Guard that was specifically for wheels/rims. What would be the best Adam's product, just a regular wax like Americana or Buttery? Thanks!
  17. Thanks for the pictures! Just a newbie, but looking forward to attending! Need some waterless wash because the day to day dust is getting on my nerves more than ever!
  18. Perfect! HAHA! Thanks! Definitely need to add that! I straightened up my supplies after two long days, and realized how much my arsenal has morphed in the last 3 months. Before and After.......
  19. Next move is to take the 30 minute drive to the new Adam's California location. Luckily it is less than an hour away. (Have to convince the wife that the 4 orders and two mystery boxes leaves room for more!)
  20. Thanks! I went with- Strip Wash Visco Clay Revive (chickened out on using my newly acquired SK from the mystery box, will use it the first time on my in-laws car) Paint Sealant 2X Brilliant Glaze Americana (And then glass sealant and interior detailer)
  21. Thanks everyone for the advise! Adam's products gave me great results and were pretty straight forward to use!
  22. Thanks! Thats what I was kind of thinking. I was trying to cut down the time a little bit. I have a vehicle that I need to do more serious work and I am going to use the Paint Correcting and Paint Finishing (and I am hoping these are enough). I knew there was no way I could, or should, do those by hand.
