I find using glass cleaner after G&G will cause streaking. I use Detail Spray as a glass cleaner on the outside of the glass.

Great idea!

Did you use the detail spray before the wax?

Had extremely bad luck with my black VW Jetta. It was in for service and I asked them not to wash it. It got washed anyway and had a crazy amount of swirl marks in it which did not exist prior. I complained and they ran it through a 'wax machine'. It was returned super glossy but the swirl marks remained. I won't go any further since it frustrates me to think about it. What a nightmare!

G&G is an amazing product. Follow the advice above and don't give up! Once you get it right you will swear by it!

Never thought of residual dirt coming from blowing out the cracks, mirrors etc. Great advice! I'll be changing my process for sure!

Had my rear bumper cover repainted and was asked by the body shop to wait a good 90 days prior to adding any protection. My 90 days expired 2 weeks ago!

Same thought posted about the same time. Great minds think alike!

I think some very good advice has already been put out there. I have had several black cars and the same rules apply: Don't touch unless absolutely necessary Use 2 bucket wash technique without question including rinsing the washmit with a hose OFTEN Blow dry when possible. Use lubricant (detail spray) when you can't blow dry Clean soft microfibers ONLY when touching the paint Expect to perform paint correction often I never did waterless or rinseless washes so cant speak on those. Once the paint is where you want it you could always go with a ceramic or film coating to help with protection from swirls and marring. GOOD LUCK!

Have one being delivered today. Can't wait to give it a try!

Going to Lowe's tonight to get some wood! Thanks for the tip!

I've had H2O G&G and Detail Spray stain microfibers directly but it's never transferred over to any clothing. I use dedicated microfiber cleaner.

Metro SK-1 8 amp 1.3 HP is what I picked up. Don't mean to nickel and dime you guys. I was just asking and putting it out there. Some folks have the extra money to pay for a specific color or brand label. Good for them! We all have our thing when it comes to this stuff!

Great idea using a wood block to get the tire off the ground!

Really? Does it have to say "Adams" on it? I shopped around and found the same unit (black w/ manufactures label) for $20 less plus free shipping. Not bashing Adams by any means or your preference in colors, Just sayin'.

Yup!

Same issues with VRT. It does help significantly to wipe it down after application to get rid of the excess. Personally there are other products that do not require a second wipe and do not run when it rains and I prefer those.

Welcome Tyler! Thanks for the hard work in the past and moving forward!

New vehicles you do not have to wait on protecting the paint. New paint applied by a body shop the rule of thumb is waiting 90 days before applying any protection to it. OEM process cures the paint much faster than hand sprayed. Nice truck btw!

These things really are nice to have. I do not have the Adams cannon (yet) but use another brands and have been very happy with it. Funny watching the neighbors faces. For some reason they seem scared to ask what I'm doing! Will most likely 'upgrade' to the Adams cannon in the near future. (100th post!)

I don't use one personally but know folks that swear by them. If you use one the secret is to gently glide it over the surface with no pressure.

G&G is the product that turned me on to Adams. Best stuff ever!

Nice!

White doesn't pop? After I did a full detail it was better then I dried one day with G&G. That made it pop to the extent of people commenting on the shine!

These are the pictures I will be showing my wife when begging for a Z06!
