Waterless Wash Questions
Red Rambler replied to Special K's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
I would say yes, you can do a buffer polish after doing a rinseless wash, as you will need to fully clay the vehicle in question prior to touching the buffer. I would suggest a more thorough two bucket wash however to ensure you are starting with a completely clean slate, and no matter the wash method, a clay bar is essential to remove all contaminants as a final step prior to polishing. -

I was told in the February-March time frame for the red throwback shampoo. I am waiting as well -
Yes, you should upgrade. Your hands will thank you.

Work platforms on sale!
Red Rambler replied to mc2hill's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I picked one of these up as well. For the money this is a great buy. Sure beats a bucket or standing on my tire and quality is pretty decent imo. I might get a sheet of grip tape for it, just for safety. -
More new goodies coming soon!

Is the ultra foam shampoo going to be a normal product at some point? Or is it only limited edition? -
One Step polish review.
Red Rambler replied to Ls1transam's question in Paint Correction & Polishing
Very nice job. I was curious when somebody would post a review. I am going to have to purchase a bottle of this now and give it a go. I like your comment on very easy to remove. What was the temperature like when doing this? I find at times the hotter it is the harder some polishes are to remove. -
Trim restorer followed by ceramic trim sealant.
Red Rambler replied to Red Rambler's topic in Detailing Write-Ups
Tools of the trade for application Dan@adams stated to clean with ceramic in between the restorer and ceramic coating. -

My dodge suffers from milky looking trim being faded and white. I purchased the ceramic kit a few weeks ago, and was super excited to see the black trim restorer. I have not applied the ceramic trim kit yet, and after learning these two products could be layered I jumped right in. I have washed my trim after removing it, cleaned with tire/rubber, coating prep and have applied the black trim restorer. I was very impressed with the color change so far. My next step after curing for 24 hours is to apply the ceramic trim coating. Application of the trim restorer is easy enough. The actual application goes on smoothly. I found myself not having to apply very much pressure to obtain even coverage. I did go over each piece with two coats as the trim does have ridges. This product gets a 10/10 for application. Also a little goes a long ways. Before After cleaning

Layering Trim Coating over Trim Restorer
Red Rambler replied to moons21's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Per Adams "The trim restorer takes 6 hours to dry, and you can apply ceramic at that time without damaging anything, however it is recommended to allow trim restorer a 12-24 hour period before applying ceramic" -
Layering Trim Coating over Trim Restorer
Red Rambler replied to moons21's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Following. I was just about to ask that question myself -
The whole forum is that format. Pressing CTRL+F5 doesn't fix it.
-
I have cleared my cache and history, but no luck. Any suggestions?
-
Haha. When I was 7!
-
On my laptop the format is all messed up. I have tried Firefox and IE. Below is a picture of what my adams forum page looks like. Adams polishes.com looks normal. At one point I was able to see the new forum in the correct format. Unsure what happened though.

I have an 80 gallon compressor and I have read you can use the Ridgid vacuum as a blowing versus sucking function as well. I might give both of those options a go. Thanks.

Very good job, outstanding results

Thanks Dustin! -
soap with clay bar vs. detail spray
Red Rambler replied to camp316's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I always seem to have some suds left over in my wash bucket or foam gun. It works well to clay with. This might fit another thread but can a person clay over guard and gloss or is there a need to reapply after claying? -
Dang, I thought they were crayon. Scratches!!!! That is a tough one.
-
Nice tip! Thanks

Thanks Dan, sounds like a great course of action. I will do just that. I also purchased the pro hose, which is 1 7/8" if I recall correctly. Pretty sure it comes with an adapter that will adapt down to 1 1/4". It is all boxed up, haven't even taken it out of the box yet. This hose:

Thank you Dan. I just purchased a Ridgid WD4070, so that will give me a reason to use if for the 1st time. So which would be better to apply, the interior detailer or the leather conditioner? I have already applied the leather conditioner two weeks ago.
-
Thanks Chris, the added scent is so delightful. I guess at this point I am undecided which avenue I take. I was just afraid the interior detailer might remove some of the Leather Conditioner. I guess i will use the interior detailer and step #2 apply the Leather Conditioner to the top of the dash, and door panels as you suggested.
