  1. I don't know if i have the new or old version, but the application kind of stinks. It streaks and requires a good amount of effort to wipe clean, and managing overspray which results in more smearing is annoying. But the smell and gloss is top notch.
  2. Ya I can sheet the water off the car no problem, doesnt leave the car 100% dry hence the need for a towel. I just dont like rubbing a dry towel across and dry surface, and using boost as a drying aid did work but was super streaky. 1 - 2 mists per panel. Just personal preference for a finishing touch to a wash.
  3. I don't believe my 8oz bottles have that? Thanks for posting regardless!
  4. Has anyone ever diluted ceramic boost along with rinse less wash and distilled water to make a ceramic drying aid spray? I miss have detail spray to use while the car was still wet to help dry the car. I like the added lubricity when drying. Thoughts?
  5. One american company that just released a ceramic paste wax is jax wax. I tried some of their stuff on personal vehicles, wasn't too happy and use it commerically for a few months at my work. Still wasn't blown away but they may have made something good with their ceramic wax. That's the only american company that i know of who's made ceramic wax to answer your question. Who knows if adams will come out, from what i've been told, its not a top priority.
  6. Got to be hip to enjoy the new marketing products
  7. I've noticed over the latter part of 2017 up to now that their marketing has been very funky....
  8. And I was just about to order their coating in the upcoming months, I guess I'll have to wait and see. Can not wait, been wanting new products (car care) for a long while now. Latest product to try has been ceramic boost that ill be trying within the next week, but this has me excited again.
  9. Always when I try a new to me product, a new revision comes out...
  10. I use diluted rinseless 1:16 with water, after a 2 hour trip with bugs galore, soaking that witha blue waffle weave worked well
  11. I think it's without question how fast and hard at work the people at Adam are. Their customer service is great.
  12. Yes this has been a concern for many the past few weeks. AVOID FEDEX SMART POST AT ALL COST. (unless you want to save 4$, have you items shipped hundreds of miles PAST your destination, and add an extra week of shipping time). Never again paying for FedEx smart post
  13. Even after I washed the hood and rinsed it in the above picture? Tomorrow should be clear of rain, although days following are nothing but rain. Maybe I'll give it a wash and detail spray tomorrow and see how it is. I'm just stumped at this point. Definitely not use to seeing this effect.
  14. Thank you. And ya my method last detail worked great for months. But I wanted to try new products. I'll give it a few more weeks to see how it holds up
  15. Picture of the 9 month old LOS, 1/4 washes had GG applied up until January, with 3/4 washes using detail spray. Buttery wax applied every 3 or 4 months.
  16. Medium gulf blue. It was in question if the pollen build up was the cause. Im just afraid some how the combination of products, being applied 4 hours apart was the reasoning before the lack of beading after rain fall. Obviously want my car to be protected, but I really wanted to add a glaze and Americana to this year's detail. While maintaining the hydrophobic effects. This picture was taken weeks prior to this new detail
  17. I honestly couldn't see a huge difference difference after I was done. There was some depth and slight clarity, but couldn't get a good look during the day for the next morning it was covered in pollen. Maybe that's the effect I'm seeing, is the past wax doesn't provide the beeding and protection in use to. I guess I'll have to buy GG. Hopefully LPS>Glaze>Americana then topping it off with GG every month along with detail spray every wash that doesn't include the GG isn't overkill.
  18. So I just decided to re detail my car for the spring. I haven't done a full clay bar and detail since late June of 2016. Then, I applied LOS. A week or so later Buttery wax was applied. Since then up until this past week, I used detail spray every wash, h20 GG a month or so. The protection and shine has been phenomenal since, constant tight beading. After doing this detail earlier this week, I was decent impressed with the LPS,Glaze, Americana as far as shine goes. I did the clay bar and LPS in the afternoon. Then later that evening I applied the glazed followed by American. Two days later we got some rain fall. The beading was very loose, and the water pooled; barely beading or sheeting off. The protection seemed far superior for the past 9 months or so on my previous detail than this new one with " better protection" applied. Has this happened to anyone with this LPS, Glaze, Americana combo?
  19. Such as the last few entries. Just expressing my opinion since others too are not fond of this method.

  21. I'm not complaining on the free shipping either. This has been an issue for almost all things shipped from adams through this method. For an item that should've been here by Friday, Saturday at the latest, is now being delivered the next week. This method is just paid fully slow and indirect.
  22. I would also agree to this. The past two or three orders I placed from adams in the past few months have always taken an extra 3 to even 4 days extra. All of which missed the off days I could use the products while sufficing a day or two of good weather. The extra time, and inconvenience, is very upsetting. It sucks seeing packages go all over the place in a non linear manner, and taking extra time swapping between FedEx and USPS causes more of a delay. I will chime in and say I've never had a problem with UPS. It's not just orders from Adams, but FedEx from amazon takes my packages in the wrong direction or directly 3 hours past my region (Chicagoland) and take and extra day or two of just sitting around at a shipping center waiting to move. I understand FedEx might be in Adams best interest, but as a consumer, it's a headache. Again because of the extra days to ship and missing windows of detailing time.
