We recently purchased a new SUV for my wife. As soon as I brought it home I washed it using the recommended Adams procedures.
I used the Strip Wash using the foam cannon. I did the entire car, then took a sponge to each panel. It was a hot day out and the car was in direct sun. I worked quickly
After rinsing the vehicle and getting to applying detail spray and glass cleaner I started to notice residue that was very hard to get off, even with AP. It almost looked like streaks of sap. It was most noticeable on the glass.
It eventually came off completely after a few washes.
I'm worried to use it again on another new vehicle that I'm planning to prep for a ceramic coating.
Is it possible that the strip wash dried on the vehicle can caused that residue? It was most noticeable on the windows, but the car as a darker silver (Audi Graphite Gray) so I may not have noticed it elsewhere. The new car will be black.
