  1. Wouldn't Adams Detail Spray be what you are looking for.  I believe it has gloss enhancers but is not a carnuba.

    I thought it had a small amount of carnuba?  it does seem whenever I use it it really attracts the dust/pollen in my area.  I love the smell and it does enhance gloss though.  

     

    I do love H20 Guard and gloss...actually it's awesome over my lsp, just not as quick, but also thanks for the tip Jason!

  2. Thanks for the responses guys...and to clarify I didn't combine it with rinseless, just the same ratio.  My only reason for trying this is to get a quick detail type from the product while adding shine.  I don't use the quick detail or rinseless diluted because caused a lot of dust accumulation.  I am also not interested in adding protection as my 2 layers of liquid paint sealant should hold up for a few months at least.

     

    Thanks also for the video, and yes the separation happened, but gently shaking prior to spraying helped.  

  3. I hinted towards this in another thread, but had the opportunity after a rain to try this.

    Background:  1 month ago paint correction, wash, clay, light polish, and 2 coats of liquid paint sealant.

    We had a good rain today, came home, and after a waterless wash/dry, I dilluted H20 Guard & Gloss in my kwazar bottle 1:16 ratio...similar to rinseless.  I sprayed on, wiped off and was relatively pleased with the results.  My thought was to remove any left over smudges from the waterless wash, and enhance the gloss as easy as possible.

     

    My question is:  even though this is "water activated"...why can't you dillute, activate, then spray on/wipe off?

     

    I also assume that the biggest ingredient in H20 G&G is...well, water, so why not try it.  Anyone else try this?  Any of the Adam's team experiment with this with any success? (sorry for crappy cell phone pic)

  4. I do love Victory's. Always wanted an 8-Ball. Great bikes, even though I am partial with my Triumph

    I really like all kinds of bikes...Triumphs are up on my list as I almost purchased a Rocket III.  Very nice bike and have always had a soft spot for Triumph.  I might add a cafe racer type to the stable down the road for a fun ride.

  5. Thanks for the comments...definitely not a garage queen.  I do have some lower chin fairing rock chips and a few scattered on the main fairing..  I rode from Ohio to Daytona beach last year and plan on doing a cross country trip later this year.   Can't wait!

  6. I awakened my 2011 Ness Cross Country the other day and did a full detail.  I washed, clayed, then sealed with H20 Guard and Gloss.  I really like the H20 G&G for the bike as it is easier to get in all the cracks/crevices much better than a paste.  I will maintain with a waterless wash/frequent H20 G&G.  I did use Adam's metal polish/sealant on the front and back rims.  

     

    Now it's time to ride!  (Pardon the messy garage)

  7. I recently did a full paint correction (my car is a garage queen and only had mild defects from winter), and after claying/polishing with Adam's products, I currently have 2 layers of liquid paint sealant and pleased with the results.  I have used Brilliant Glaze in the past for looks/shows, but man I really think the carnuba (although little) attracts sooooo much pollen/dust in my area it lasts literally only a few hours before it is covered with dust.

     

    I am currently using a synthetic sealer to reduce pollen/dust attraction, although I have used Americana with good results...just the same issues as brilliant glaze.

     

    Is there a product that I can use regularly without carnuba to enhance gloss/depth?  I am currently using H20 Guard and Gloss as an enhancer afterwards and have been pleased, but I love the look of Brilliant Glaze, just not the pollen/dust attraction.

     

    Thanks as any help is appreciated

  8. Sorry if this has been covered already, but I have been using HGG for the past month or so and love it.  I have a base of liquid sealant and have been using this over and maintaining with diluted rinseless.  I was addicted to using Brilliant glaze in the past, so I was wondering if glazing first, then applying the HGG would be of use.   I am afraid the water/application would remove the glaze.  Any thoughts?

  9. I had Xpel put on my 2009 G8, with the hood, rockers, quarter panel, and mirrors covered.  I loved it at first due to the protection from rock chips, but as time went on it developed some fine wrinkles probably due to the sun.   I opted to not have my new Audi coated as I prefer the look without.  Both cars were black, and your yellow will look different than a black car coated.

     

    Just make sure that you take the proper care as I believe it has just a very thin clear-type coat, so I don't believe it can be buffed.  Good luck with your decision and love the new ride B)

  10. I received my bottle the other day and want to try this out tonight.  I plan on washing/2bucket method, then applying this.  My question is:  does this need bare paint to adhere?  I currently have a layer of liquid paint sealant from a month ago that seems to be holding strong.  I assumed most sealants need bare paint (wax/sealant stripped) before appication...I just don't want to waste it if it will not bond.  Thanks

  11. I figured most auto detailers also have a nice driveway.  I have a 90 foot by 22 foot concrete driveway that I sealed 5 years ago with a Behr product because it was readily available.  I have an electric Karcher power washer at my disposal.  I was wondering what people recommend to seal their concrete driveway without breaking the bank and provide a long-lasting seal. 

     

    Here's my RS5 on my driveway B)  Any input or ideas are welcome!

  12. New tire shine is awesome. Applied it to the Michelins on my grandfather's 2001 Toyota Tundra yesterday and I was really happy with how they came out. The tires have a rich, glossy look without being "greasy". Also, love the smell!! Definitely going to be ordering more.

    +1, put it on yesterday and really like the way it handles/shines.  Definitely not too greasy and overly bright, just a deep dark semi-gloss look.
