  1. Exactly. I had to use detail spray to get rid of the stubborn spots. I'm in San Gabriel Valley.
  2. I didn't prime the pad with sealant. Just a quick spritz of detail spray. Pad was primed with a quick spritz of detail spray. I followed the directions on the bottle. Even when I switched over to the Adam's microfiber applicator and a foam hand applicator the results were the same. I applied it as thin as possible with as little product as possible. When I go to remove it, the sealant is already dry, nothing is being smeared around. I tried different wait times. But I did not wait an hour before removing, that seems just excessive.
  3. I was removing it within minutes after applying it, then I was removing it within seconds after applying it. It could have been the weather yesterday..but I will try it on a new panel and see how it goes.
  4. Yes, always shake my products. No freezing here in Souther California. Yesterday's weather around 7pm yesterday I would guess to say was at least 77 to 84 degrees. Humidity about 50%.
  5. I primed my pad before applying. And this was a brand new bottle, coconut smell. I'm going to try another panel later today.
  6. That was my thought too. Even when I went with less product to the point where there was basically no product being applied to the surface, I was getting the same results. I am a firm believer in less is more when it comes to detailing.
  7. Hey everyone. Need some advice here on with the issue I'm having using Adam's New Liquid Paint Sealant. Sorry long post. The sealant does not come off easy, my goodness it is a chore. Here's how I used it a few different ways too. Started off with just the hood and only the hood. Cleaned the hood using ONR, Clay barred using ONR with Adam's Visco clay, wiped cleaned with Adam's microfiber towel. Applied sealant on a foam finishing pad with my DA per the bottle directions. Applied to small section of the hood on speed 3. Went on ok, but it seamed to gum/dry up on certain areas fairly quick. Those areas were a pain to remove, it helped come off if I applied some more sealant to those areas. Thinking I used too much product I tried again with less product, application just gets worse. I ditched the DA and used the Adam's microfiber applicator, again followed the directions and same results. Tried working in even smaller sections, no luck. Now I thought maybe it's not liking ONR that might be left on the surface. So did an alcohol wipe down for the rest of the hood and still the same issue. Removal of the stuff is a major pain. I then ditched the microfiber applicator and went with a foam hand applicator, to me it applied better with the foam. End results again were the same having to go back and fight areas of the sealant that were extremely stubborn to remove. I tried leaving it on per the directions, less that a couple of minutes and even removing quickly after applying. Tried less product, a little bit more product. I couldn't win. Having to go back and see areas where sealant was still on my hood was starting to make me crazy lol. This was in the late evening around 7pm. Cool weather and surface, sun going down and completely in the shade. Please help! I have years of detailing under my belt, so I'm not new to this. But any tips, advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!
  8. Late evening/night car cleaning is quite nice to be honest lol. Get yourself a nice bright LED light or flood light, comes in handy when cleaning wheels and you want to make sure you got everything. Another great option is just finding a park or other shaded place and adopt Rinse Less washing. One of the best things about Rinse Less washing is your cleaning the car in sections. No hose no problem. Don't have to deal with water spots and soap residue drying on the vehicle.
  9. h2o G&G on it's own is pretty outstanding. Just prep the car well before applying and it'll easily last a few months if not more with little maintenance. My method when I first applied was as followed: 1 Rinseless wash using the Gary dean wash method. 3 Visco clay bar with detail spray 4 Alcohol wipe down 5 "My wet method" Spray bottle with plain tap water, spray a panel down and use h2o G&G as instructed.
  10. I was hoping Adam's would come out with their own Ceramic coating. Been wanting to do a ceramic coating for some time now. Can't wait to give this a go!
  11. I love h20 Guard and Gloss. I've used it on two cars so far and it's a pleasure to use. My process was rinse less wash, Visco Clay bar with detail spray, alcohol wipe down. My wet method is a spray bottle with plain tap water, spray a panel down and use h20 G&G as instructed. Works great on wheels too. Super easy to apply and remove. Stuff rocks!
  12. One of the nice things about rinse less is being able to "wash" your car pretty much anywhere any time. Using less water and less product is plus. I definitely recommend looking into it and give it a try.
  13. I would say doing a rinse less provides even better therapy than dragging out the buckets and house. It feels more personal LOL. The time saved can then be spent waxing or what have you haha.
