While similar in concept, Waterless is a RTU product and can be used on lightly dusty vehicles whereas Hoseless requires dilution and is a substitute for the traditional bucket wash. No hose is needed to rinse the vehicle at any point in the process. Thus it is called Hoseless. This might blow your mind, but Hoseless can also be diluted to be used as a Waterless Wash.

I hope I’m not breaking any rules but I did a CS3 review and giveaway on the YouTOOBs and thus far it hasn’t really gotten too much response. So I thought the Adams Forum members might be a good audience for such a video. If I’m breaking a rule by all means remove my post or do whatever is necessary. If not, the link is below. This is strictly a review and giveaway for CS3. I LOVE the product as I’m sure many of you do as well. Hope this is okay. And for anyone interested, to save you time, all I’m asking folks to do is comment and subscribe to enter. But if you want to watch the video I’d love to hear what you think as a like minded Adams supporter!!!

Do you have pics? Have you tried using a pressure washer with a wide fan? Even going to the spray and wash and use the wand there? You might give that a shot.

Not trying to be a jerk, but you do realize like many things there have been supply issues going on right? I’m certain Adams isn’t trying to offer lower quality sprayers on purpose. It’s likely a supply related issue and Adams is basically only able to offer what they can source. Have patience and try to understand. Temper your expectations here and there. It helps.

I agree CS3 is a great product in a line up that has many great standouts. I’ve been impressed with it for a couple areas that aren’t really commonly thought of and that is engine bay and door jambs. It seems to excel at bringing that wow factor or pop to both. I used it as a drying aid as well and I agree it’s great at that too and the slickness is serious. I have even used it on weathertech mats and exterior plastics to give them some dark luster and it seems to work well there too. It’s similar to Detail Spray and even Rinseless for me where I find a ton of uses for them.

@falcaineerI spoke to him on the phone sir. Thanks Mr. Chris sir!

I just want to throw some Kudos out at Christian in Adams Support. Dude was super helpful, knowledgeable and just all around great to deal with. It never ceases to amaze me how nice the folks are at Adams and how well they treat the customer. It’s why they are such a great company to buy from. The best part is the customer service. I’ve never had experiences like I have with Adams with ANY other company I have traded with. Chic Fil A is the only thing that comes close. This is probably the third or fourth time I am bragging on someone at Adams. It won’t be the last. Christian if you are out there on the Forum, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT TODAY!!! YOU ROCK BRO!!!!!

Andrew if I were you I would pretreat the spots in the shade with a mix of rinseless and water or soap and water dilution then do a strip wash with APC. You could try vinegar and water as well If that doesn’t knock the spots out, try claying them. If clay doesn’t get you there then I would try using some polish by hand lightly in one spot to see how it behaves. If all that fails you might need to break out a polisher. It will definitely diminish the coating to a degree, but one pass might get rid of the spots and allow the coating to remain. I don’t have much experience doing that so I might let others chime in.

So once the coating bottle has been opened it’s only good for thirty days? I’d never heard that before but if that’s true I’m going to need to use mine this week.

Thanks Chris. I’ve been shaking the bottle up for sure. I still think I’ve been waiting too long because in one section it seems like it was 3 minutes before the rainbow effect was totally gone. I am going to try and time my next round to be sure. And I realize it does vary based on the factors you mentioned. Thanks again for the info.

Yes I think Glaze knocked it out in the places where it was more stubborn. I was just curious if I’m doing something wrong in the process mainly with regard to the time I am waiting before removing it. I was thinking I’d read or seen where you typically wait for the rainbow to diminish. Regardless I guess I can try removing it quicker, like in the first minute. Still have more sections to work on. So far, I’ve only done the hood and the trunk. Figured those panels take a pretty good amount of abuse so I wanted to get them first.

Guys I noticed some really small specs that appear to be white in color almost like the liquid hardened into small dots. Has anyone seen this before? In some places they come off with the suede towel or microfiber towel but in some places they are pretty stubborn. Could that mean I let it flash too long? I probably waited two minutes before wiping the coating off. It was basically once the rainbow effect had dissipated.

Thanks, I tried the glaze and I think it knocked them down pretty well. Question, what steps would you take if thinking of layering an additional coat past the 24 hour mark? Is it as simple as doing a coating prep step then applying?

So does Brilliant Glaze level it and then there’s no need to reapply the coating? I’m asking because I did an application yesterday and I have some high spots where it didn’t fully level out. I have Brilliant Glaze, Graphene Spray Coating, and Graphene Detail spray. Was curious if trying one of the sprays would be a better first option than using glaze. I applied the coating a little over 14 hours ago. Was thinking about doing a quick Waterless wash on the section and then trying the recommended steps.

Thanks Chris!!!
