Just used this new formula for the first time on my 2007 4Runner - 136,000 miles. It was the first time I’ve ever detailed it; I always had it washed by the local hand wash place. Strip Wash, clay mitt, One Step Polish, rewash with regular Car Shampoo, then H2O Guard And Gloss to dry. It was very, very easy to apply and remove with no streaking. This to me is much much easier than applying a traditional wax or sealant. I tried the first generation Adam’s Ceramic Paint/Trim/Wheel Coatings on my Challenger and while the initial results were excellent, it wasn’t worth the amount of work it took to prep, and the water beading stopped on the doors before the one year mark. I’d much rather apply the H2O Guard And Gloss as a drying agent every several washes. It also makes the black trim look amazing and now I don’t have to apply VRT to it anymore.

Looks great! I have a black SUV and used it for the first time two weekends ago. About 2 months ago I did a full strip wash, clay bar, hand revive polish, VRT, and then on to PS. Since it's been several washings I decided to try out the H2O G&G. Very easy to apply and buff off with great results even on the trim as you mentioned. I found that giving each panel just a couple sprays helped with any potential streaking. Great product!!

I found blue Dawn works well

No. The car was brand new. I even had to have the stripes on one of the panels replaced when it needed a repaint from a small scrape. I had to apply Brilliant Glaze with the Cyclo to make the new stripe piece match the original remaining pieces. The Brilliant Glaze actually removes or levels down some of the "texture" that gives the vinyl its matte finish; that's what's on the pads. When I first applied Brilliant Glaze by hand it made it blotchy. The Cyclo made it even, but it physically altered the finish. They are no longer truly matte with a subtle rough texture, they're smooth and have a satin sheen. I would recommend never using anything other than soap and water on matte vinyl stripes, and never let a polisher near it, or even rub too hard by hand. But, I can see someone liking the look it created. It looks like it's got VRT on it all the time. I've since sealed it with both Liqud Paint Sealant and Americana. Those products didn't make it any glossier after I used the Brilliant Glaze/Cyclo application.

I scrubbed my wife's floor mats then finished up with the pressure washer. Extracted the majority of the water then let them air dry.

I took my mats to the coin op after using the Cyclo and C&UC, and rinsed them with the power washer. Worked great. Took some paper towels to soak up a bit of the excess and there was zero discoloration of the paper towels. So... perfectly clean with no residue and only took a few minutes. They look brand new, and the charcoal gray DODGE embroidered logo is now back to the original light gray. I'll let them air-dry then seal them with carpet protectant. 

Goo gone will take 5 - 10 minutes if APC doesn't work.
 
If you have very thick build up use an old cloth, one that you wont mind throwing away. Preferably a clean one. No need to introduce additional dirt and grit into your brush.
 
After the Goo Gone has soaked for 3-4 minutes, use the cloth to scrub the heavy build up off. If needed re-apply, wait few minutes and rinse heavily.
 
I actually like how this brush holds the gunk so well. It's not flinging around everywhere and getting on my paint!
 
Once you get all the heavy gunk off your wheel wells and tires, the APC will clean any light or medium gunk with just a spray or two on it in between cleaning tires.

All Purpose Cleaner soak is the best place to start. Sometimes, if they're really nasty you may need to go grab a tar remover from the local store and try that. The stuff is terrible for your paint, but good for melting off tar and gunk off of something like a fender brush.

Here's my new 2014 Dodge Challenger. I custom ordered it and made sure they didn't wash it when it came off the truck. Wash, Clay, Revive, Glaze, Buttery, Americana, VRT. I really like all the Adam's products I used; very happy!

I tried this for the first time the other day. I'm impressed with the results. It seems no matter how hard I try to get the glass clean with Glass Cleaner, there's always some residue visible in certain lighting conditions. And it takes two cleanings with two towels, with the second cleaning using just a few drops of Glass Cleaner to get the residue left behind from the first cleaning. Using Brilliant Glaze on the inside left zero residue in any lighting conditions. It can't get any cleaner. And it worked in one very easy application and removal. I used a Blue Microfiber Application Pad for putting the glaze on, and a Blue Microfiber towel for removal. Works great!!

I detailed & removed some water spots on a 2013 R/T Challenger a couple weekends ago.....I always liked them, after detailing it I really like them now. Sorry cell pics....
