    Junior reacted to Ricky Bobby in H20 Guard & Gloss before or after waxing?   
    If it were me I'd just get Liquid Paint Sealant and maintain it with HGG.  And get Rinseless and use it for washes or diluted as a Detail Spray.  There you have it 3 products instead of 9 lol.

    Liquid Paint Sealant is more than sufficient protection... it is now as it was before the introduction of H2O. The addition of H2O gives you additional layers of protection and more gloss. Necessary? No. Worthwhile? Depends on your situation and preferences.
     
    You should never find yourself in a situation where you have 3 waxes, 3 sealers, and 3 detail sprays once you've defined your process and what works best for you on your car. Pick the combo that works best for you and you're set.
    Now if you maintain multiple cars, detail on the side for money, or just like having a selection of products certainly you should have a variety of things at your disposal, but never have we been a company that says you have to own ALL of our waxes.... certainly try them till you find your favorite then stick with that one.

    Here is how I make a windshield disappear (so to speak).
     
    Start with dry windshield (yes, just as it is right now-do not wet the windshield)
     
    0000 steel wool, rub entire window until it's totally super smooth. This will take awhile but the results will be amazing.
     
    Next, clay bar with Adams clay bar and some lubricant. This is just to make sure you didn't miss an area.
     
    Next, quick spray of Adams Glass Cleaner to remove any residue form the clay treatment.
     
    Next, apply Adams Glass Sealant as directed and allow to dry. Remove with a spray of Glass Cleaner. Do not try and remove this without spraying a bit of window cleaner!
     
    Step back and smile. The windshield will look new (aside from chips, dings etc)
     
    Aside from the 0000 steel wool, the most important tool is the microfiber towel you use. Without question, using the Adams Microfiber towel for windows is the ONLY way to properly clean glass. When Adam showed me this towel and the results, you will fully understand why there is absolutely no other choice!
     
    Entire process for a Corvette/Porsche size windshield, about 25 minutes.

    So it was nice out today and the Caddy needed a good clean up.  And I got a chance finally to use some of the new stuff Adam's came out with recently.
    So I started off with a two bucket wash with the new Wash/Rinse buckets and connector.  Having both buckets connected is the way to go.  Makes it so much simpler to move around the car.  (wife is the photographer)

     
    After filling up the buckets with the pink car wash (don't have the blue yet, but it's ordered), I soaped the baby up with the foam gun.  The pink makes plenty of suds, so I can imagine how good the blue's going to be.
     

     

     
    Next came the wash with the new Wash Wedge.  All I can say about this new sponge is WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO COME OUT WITH THIS?  I'm 68 with arthritis in my shoulders and back and this thing is so much easier to use for me than the wash pads. A whole lot lighter when wet, and it sucks up the soap and water and whisks away the dirt! 
     

     
    So once I got her body all nice and clean......it was time to do the wheels.  Yes, I do a dedicated bucket for the wheels.  Sprayed the wheels down with All Purpose Cleaner then scrubbed deep into the wheels with the old wheel woolies,  hit the lug nuts with the lug nut brush, and then sprayed down the tires with more APC and scrubbed with the blue tire scrub brush.
     

     

     

     

     

     
    So now that the car is all nice and clean, it's time to pull it into the garage and try out the new H20 GG.
     

     
     
    I wet the car down good first, then started on the roof.
     

     
    Wiped it down with a damp double soft towel, then went over it with a dry double soft.
     

     
    I did the glass, sunroof, and any plastic on the car with it too.  Didn't matter. This stuff is amazing.
     

     
    I finished off the rest of the car and let me tell you, I can't be happier. This stuff is so simple to use, gives great shine, the paint is smooth as glass, and I can see where it's going to be a BIG hit for Adam's. If you didn't get it yet, get an order in. You're going to want a gallon or FIVE!

    1.  Perfect setup.
     
    2.  No.  Wet sanding should only be necessary on deep scratches that catch your nail.
     
    3.  Watch the videos and then watch them again.  Mask off a 2'x2' area and work it as close to perfect as you can and then you will know what's required for the whole pickup.
     
    4.  I don't think so but I'll bet someone here has experience with this particular paint.
     
    Great looking pickup, BTW!

    Adam's H2O Guard & Gloss | Water Activated Exterior Sealant
     
    Adam's H20 Guard & Gloss delivers lasting protection and unmatched gloss in a unique water-activated formula that is fast and easy to apply. The incredibly effective blend of acrylic resins and water activated nano-polymers leaves your paint slick and protected without the extra effort and hassle of traditionally applied sealants or waxes. The optical grade polymers won't stain exterior trim, and even leave rubber and plastic looking darker and protected from the elements.
     
    Application couldn't be more simple - apply by misting over a wet vehicle and spreading with a premium plush microfiber towel or go for the dry application, using a pre-moistened microfiber towel to apply protection and shine. Regardless of the method you choose you'll agree that Adam's H20 Guard & Gloss is the easist, fastest, and most effective way to seal your paint that you've ever used.
     
    Once you experience Adam's H20 Guard & Gloss you'll never want to go back to applying protection any other way.
     

     
    FAQ's
     
    Q: How does this compare to Detail Spray for drying?
    A: DS does not offer tons of protection, and its simply spray and wipe while drying. HGG requires you to spread it over the area then buff off the excess, but it does provide months of protection.

    Q: Is this a replacement for Liquid Paint Sealant?
    A: No. This can be used as a booster for LPS or you can use it as your only protection.

    Q: Do you have to use the wet towel?
    A: Yes. The water activated nature of the product requires water for application, without it the product will not work properly so apply to a wet vehicle or use a damp towel.

    Q: How long does it last?
    A: Its impossible to give a one size fits all answer for every individual since circumstances will cause products to wear differently, but about 2 months would be average longevity per application.
     
    Q: Can I use this every wash?
    A: You can if you prefer, though it may not need to be applied that often. Use your best judgement.
     
    Q: Can this be used on a vinyl wrap?
    A: Yes. Gloss wraps can be treated with HGG. Matte wraps can be as well, but the application can be a little more difficult to get right.
     
    Q: Can I use this over my existing wax?
    A: Yes. HGG will layer over wax, but you may see slightly less longevity.
     
    Q: Can I top HGG with a wax afterwards?
    A: Absolutely. It behaves like a traditional sealant once its applied.

    Not same for rinseless.  If using a RTU Waterless, you'd have to apply the HGG off using the "dry" method.
     
    However, if you're doing a rinseless wash, just clean the panel with your wet soaked towel, set it aside, spray on the HGG, take your separate damp towel, wipe in, and a dry towel to wipe streak free.
     
    I feel like I've posted this 4-5 times already but its a great way during the rinseless washing process to add shine and protection in one step, integrated into your normal rinseless washing routine.

    ^^^Thank you D.  As we discussed at the clinic on Saturday I expected much confusion about something very simple.
     
    Guys as long as there is water involved at some point in the process and you are wiping off any residues with a dry towel you can do this all the time, once in a while, in the sun, in the shade, on plastic, on vinyl, on rubber, on paint, on chrome, in a bikini, while watching your wife do it in a bikini, between feeding your dog, before drying the car, after drying the car, before a Master Blaster, in the morning, in the evening, in December, in August, in Texas, in Maine.
     
     
    Stop overthinking, just follow the video and try it, I think its probably one of the most efficient products to date.

    Similar family of product, but a completely unique formulation thats easier to use and allows for the 'dry' application process. The other stuff didn't like dry application. It streaked.
     
     
    You're making a lot of assumptions before actually using the product.
     
    a) the WATER is what is beading and running, the HGG is actually rather thick and clings to the surface, so no product is "wasted"
    you immediately spread it over the panel with the damp towel so even it was product you'd be spreading it before it ran off
    c) once you try this you'll see that the wet application is a huge time saver, but if you prefer to apply it dry, by all means DO!
     
     
    The panic stricken posts in response to this release have me confused. I've never seen so many people freak out, critique, and evaluate a product before they ever got their hands on it before. Don't over think it guys - we've tested this pretty extensively. Its not NEARLY as complicated as some are making it to be.
     
    Honestly, its probably one of the simplest products to use I've ever used - you guys will understand once you try it.

    It'll cause uneven coating and streaking as stated above. Allowing it to dry on the paint without spreading it would not yield best results. Also I wouldn't be doing this with DS ether because allowing it to dry on the paint can do the same thing. 1-2 Panels at a time would be best.

    Quality is no longer a comparable measure; it's an expectation, a requirement for a business to thrive.
     
    This is where Adams excels. Your products are easy to use, they work as expected, and they perform by exceeding expectations.
     
    im a friend, a father, a husband. My time is valued yet spread thin at times. Life is full of balance and measure. And the little time I choose to spend providing care to the cars I own is backed by Adams. Your products allow ease of use with incredible results. Sprays, waxes, sealants, glossifiers, etc. they all make the experience wonderful. I'm excited to continue using your products.
     
    Kudos to you!

    Junior reacted to mc2hill in Modified Rinseless Process... Thoughts?   
    It is fine to let Rinseless dry on the car.  I would suggest this:
    Wet a fluffy towel in the Rinseless wash bucket Do the Rinseless wash on the entire car (vs. panel by panel) Spray a couple of shots of H20 Gloss & Guard on the damp towel Wipe 1/2 a panel (maybe the windows on a 4 door car) a couple more sprays G&G on the towel and complete the panel (like DvK shows in the video) wipe again with a dry fluffy towel (there will hardly be anything to remove) move on to the next panel This is a quick, efficient method to wash, gloss, seal, and dry the car!

    Junior reacted to Team Adam's in first time with cyclo need some advise   
    One thing I'm seeing in your process that seems unnecessary is this:
     
     
    So you're essentially doing 4 passes:
     
    PCP + Orange MF PCP + Orange Foam PFP + White MF PFP + White Foam  
    There is really no need to go thru all the pads in your process, all these additional passes add time/work to your process without much in terms of benefit. I would go with the following:
     
    Paint Correcting Polish + Microfiber Cutting Pad Make an additional pass with that same combo again if needed (not enough correction from one pass) Paint Finishing Polish + White Foam Pad In this process too, don't move to your next combo until you've made enough progress with the first one. So keep hitting it with step 1 until you get most of the big damage out and are left with only fine marks to address with the last pass.
     
    The additional steps you have in between aren't maximizing your approach. Also keep in mind the Cyclo has its limitations, its a fantastic tool, but it does take more time to do correction compared to say the Flex or a more powerful tool. The trade off is that its so much more balanced and comfortable to work with - plus when you get it fully corrected it will be more than sufficient for maintaining. This first time thru is just going to be slower than if you were using something with more power.
