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!
