Between H2O G&G and Detail Spray

Push mowed my new 1/2 acre lot and made the decision to finally purchase a riding mower. 1/2 acre does not sound like much but when you are dealing with drainage ditches and a good amount of slopes it wears on you quick. Thoughts of doing it with a push mower in 100 degree weather.....

I agree with Michael: 90 days before putting any sealer or wax on fresh paintwork from a body shop. Didn't you ask the shop that did the work? Seems if you are on this forum that would be one of the first questions you would have asked when you picked up the car!

He said that once he bent the corner back that it went on perfect.  I assumed he got it all corrected. 

Got it. Thanks for clearing that up. I wanted to make sure nothing was missed since I plan on going down the coating road soon.

Was something deleted? How was this "worked out in the end"?

Matt inspired me to purchase mine!

Yep, Tire & Rubber Cleaner has a pleasant Citrus orange smell to it, nothing harsh at all in my opinion, so you should be fine.

 

Wheel Cleaner is without question our most potent smelling product with the Cherry Vanilla cough syrup scent. Sure it's not the most friendly smell, but if you smelled what it's really like before the chemists add the masking agent, you would understand why we have to put such a potent smell to it to hide that real nasty smell 

Cherry Vanilla cough syrup scent??? That's the last thing I smell! Smells like my wife's hair after she gets a perm! Works great though so not complaining!

I know this has been touched on before but can someone explain why glaze is going over wax? I though glaze was to add shine along with temporary filling minor imperfections and the wax kinda seals everything in and adds additional "pop"?

I have always gone with (in order)

Wash

Polish

Glaze

Sealer

Wax (optional)

Been looking at getting one. Keep us updated on your thoughts about it!

Came within a few inches of shooting my wife's brand new SUV. Needless to say I double check every time now to make sure things are tight before applying pressure!

Yes on the interior!

I used nothing but G&G the first 6 months with my wife's new SUV with great results. For the winter I recently applied a glaze and sealer. I plan to maintain it with G&G every 3rd or 4th wash.

Detail spray and G&G every 3rd or 4th wash.

Adam's Ceramic Boost is a cutting-edge new product that complements Adam's Paint Coating, adding an even slicker surface, more gloss, and prolongs the life of the ceramic coating. Ceramic Boost can also be used by itself, offering several months of protection and shine in a quick and easy-to-use spray-on and buff-off sealant that contains silica protection like our Wash & Wax.

Ceramic Boost works almost effortlessly on a vehicle surface that has been treated with Adam's Paint Coating. It does not require a long set-up time - spray it evenly across the painted surface, use a plush, premium Adam's Microfiber Towel to spread and work the product into the surface, and then either flip the towel over or use a second towel to buff it to a streak-free finish, much like how you would use Adam's Detail Spray. 

Adam's Ceramic Boost also has hydrophobic properties that will not only bead water incredibly well, it will repel water from the surface - making it more difficult for dirt, mud, and other road grime to stick to the surface and allowing for easier maintenance cleanup as well. Step up your detailing game with this product, you're going to love it, 110% satisfaction guaranteed!

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Wash vehicle, thoroughly rinse, and dry, following our videos.

2. Generously spray Adam’s Ceramic Boost over a panel to be treated.

3. Using a premium Adam’s Microfiber Towel, spread evenly over surface.

4. Flip the towel over or use a second towel to lightly buff away residue.

5. Repeat for most exterior surfaces – paint, plastic, and chrome.

6. Apply to wheels last. Do not use on glass.

Common Sense Warning:

This product will work best on a clayed and polished surface that has already been treated with Adam’s Paint Coating. Work quickly if using in direct sun to avoid streaks or spotting.

Brian, if you are asking questions because you are considering trying this out please let me know. I would like to see the results if you pull the trigger!

I've converted my G8 over to LEDs (except headlights) from superbrightleds.com. Been over a year with no issues. I went xenon (HID) for the headlights because I like the way they "pop" when they ignite plus the white instead of orange light they put out makes a world of difference!

I'm thinking it will not work well with rubber that flexes a lot. Sounds like when it cures it will be somewhat hard (ceramic) and may crack if flexed too much?

I literally started a similar list yesterday! I'm not into "collecting them all" but my inventory between 2 brands has gotten out of hand!

I think it's a good idea.

Who said white does not shine?

Once dry I store all applicators and microfibers in zip lock freezer bags.

I have been thru 2 16 oz bottles using the same application towels. They were white and have turned gray but are just as soft and useful as new. I machine wash them using a competitors microfiber wash and mix in a cap full or 2 of revitalizer.

You guys are forcing me to try this combo. I already have a combo I think works great but if it can get better, I'm in!

Anyone put the wax on by machine?

Sad story indeed!

There is a lot of orange peel in that hood. Has it been repainted?

Not seeing stains on the drying towels. The wet application towel is a different story. I now have a few dedicated stained application towels!
