I use rinselss as a pre soak and they typically come off easily during the wash.  I have found that the clay mitt is also very useful when they are stubborn to get off.

I just ordered an AR 383ss and was wondering what tip I should use.  I wasn't sure if I am supposed to use the 25 degree tip or the open one with the widest fan. 

I have two VRT and 1 H20 G&G (H20 is pending trade)  that I would like to trade.

I also have a can of In and Out that I can trade.  

Looking for

Rinseless Wash

If you have anything else offer up.   

Untamed is a clothing brand/ car community established in Atlanta, July 18, 2015.

 

Got that from Google search.

I googled it and found that prior to the post. I just didn't know why the products are such a big deal.

I guess I'm too old to understand. Can someone even tell me what team untamed is?

I don't do Instagram...C'est la vie.

Hoodies sold out in less than an hour. I am not a big fan of super limited items since adams customer base is so big. The website was almost unsusable during the sale.

I have 1 16 oz VRT that I would like to trade for two wash pads or the red wash mitt. Let me know what you have. Thanks!

in all the last steps besides the first few good scrubbings of tire and rubber cleaner came back clean. If it wasn't perfect I would expect some inconsistency In what it covered and what it wouldn't.

The trim on our Volvo was hammered, but it came back really well:

 

The Volvo's Trim has texture, what you show on the Jeep appears completely smooth. The difference in the texture could be part of the issue. The horizontal strips that make up the grille lattice on my Dodge Magnum are very smooth. Those strips didn't take the Trim Coating as well as the Volvo's body cladding did, however there was a tremendous improvement to it.

Sorry, I didn't think to take a before pic of the Magnum Grille, but here it is four days and three rain storms later:

Also, on the Volvo, in regards to the prep, I scrubbed the trim with Adam's Tire & Rubber Cleaner several times while I washed the car with Strip Wash using several different brushes. I rinsed the Cleaner off the trim with water from the hose, not wipe it off dry with the provided Edgeless Utility Towel. I can't imagine the Coating Prep would be able to remove any residual Tire & Rubber Cleaner, I could be wrong, but I knew the water would remove it. Next came the Coating Prep, after the Trim was completely dry, 12 hours or more after it'd been washed, dried, and left inside the garage overnight, and I scrubbed the prep into the textured trim too. My Ceramic Coating application was done in the garage out of the sun and the vehicle was left to sit inside the garage for a second night while the Ceramic Coating was allowed to cure.

 

Chris, were your steps close to what I've described?

The only step I didn't follow is removing the tire and rubber cleaner with water. I did use multiple utility towels between applications of each product to ensure I removed all residue. There is black textured trim that turned out perfect so I am assuming that the coating doesn't really get along with smooth trim. I was just hoping for even a mild improvement. I did do three to four rounds of coating prep on each fender with a clean side of towel to make sure any t&r was gone.

You might be asking a bit too much from the Trim Coating. It looks like that fender is oxydized and faded to an extreme degree.

 

I believe Trim Coating was designed to keep trim that is in good shape in good shape for a long time.

There was no expectation of perfection. There was an expectectation of improvement which that did not happen. The vehicle done in the video was in bad shape and turned out beautiful.

I was hoping that Adams would chime in, but I think most everyone is at a show of some kind this week. Going to try and give them a call tomorrow. Just find this very unusual.

Second coat was put on. Applied just as great as the first with zero improvement of the original coat.

we are going to do a second coat today so hopefully it will make some impact.

Here is an after example. If you notice there is plastic in the corner of the photo that took the coating well and turned out great.

Do you have some before and after pics? Or even current pics if you didn't take any prior.

I am trying to get some from the owner. I was hoping that the curing process would darken it. I didn't expect perfection since they were in pretty bad shape, but I did expect improvement.

Need advice. I detailed a jeep with lots of plastic. Cleaned everything very well and followed the steps exactly since it was my first time using the product. Coating looked great while applying but that effect wore off very quick. It was a very very mild improvement if at all. I was pretty dissapointed. The application was very even and level in a garage early morning. The flares on it were pretty bad. I would say as bad as the f150 in Adams video and I didn't get even as close of results as Adam did. It is a 2002 wrangler. I am going to apply a second coat, but I don't think that is going to help. Any ideas?

That car is absolutely beautiful!

No tire sling!

On cars that I put LPS that day I usually apply g&g to all windows just for water sheeting. Works well no issues no Complaints

I've seen some crazy detailing at car shows the past few years. Well yesterday I saw a new one at the gas station. A lady went through the automatic wash. After it finished she pulled out and parked. The she walked over by the gas pumps and grabbed a hand full of the nice soft blue paper towels and proceeded to dry off her car. I cringed watching her. I was too far away to see the condition of the paint I can only imagine.

I was filling up last week and I watched a lady wash her entire car at the pump with the windshield washing sponge. I couldn't believe what I was seeing

I'll take a photo of it - but I've seen some guys cover it on here from time to time. It's not plastic. The wheel well is a fabric.

Sound deadening material. Pain to clean but I don't think I would use under carriage spray on it.

This is right up my alley! I've done tons of research, and tons of upgrading (first vehicle mod I always do), and my personal favorite for LED upgrades is Diode Dynamics. Definitely pricey, but the by far the best I've ever used. I tried TRS, but wasn't impressed. If you're strapped as far as budget goes, then ebay has some reputable sellers. But be warned that the claimed lumens is probably not their actual tested output. All my internal lights, back up lights, and plate lights are all Diode Dynamics.

Thanks these look great. On most of my choices diode dynamics has multi levels of lumen options. Is the brightest really bright or I guess to bright for a daily. They need to learn from Adams and put some videos and a good gallery on their site.

Thinking about replacing all of my regular bulbs except headlights in my vehicles. Anyone know of some good quality ones or places they prefer to order them from?

I always thought VRT/SVRT had a cherry smell to me, similar to our old red Car Shampoo but not exactly like it.

I am going to have to go home and take a big whiff. I never got any scent that was noticeable.

So I use this product pretty often and very pleased with the results I get when using it. After using it today and really thinking why this doesn't smell like much of anything. I am suggesting that this either needs to smell like cupcakes or doughnuts of some kind. I think it would provide a much more enjoyable experience and provide local economy growth when I go stuff my face after using it since all I would want is baked good.
