Thanks guys.  Yea I will just dump it into another bottle and relabel it.

And Hamilton detail,  this car season (summer)  am going to start mixing in some other brands as well. Running out of reasons to be brand loyal. There products are too expensive to not get 110% treatment. The proper thing to do would have been to say we are sorry will send you another nozzle.  Done.

I think I will try that. The CSR told me " I would recommend pulling the sprayer out and running water through it after every use ".

That is insane. Not only is it inconvenient but I really don't want to flush product out each time that cost $2/ounce then continually pump it again until I am pretty sure I am back to boost so I can apply it.

Dan is always good to help but not going to call him every time I an issue with Customer Service which these days seems like every time I need them.

Anyone else have problems with glass boost sprayer leaking?   Mine wont spray  and just leaks around the plunger at the base so have to drip it onto the glass. I asked Adams about it and they offered to sell me another one for 99 cents....  Yea I don't think so.

Was thinking about just switching it to another empty Adams bottle but as not sure if the alcohol or whatever is on the glass boost would destroy it?

Bringing up an old thread. Where did you get that hose? I did find a 20 amp remote. This is the one I found:

Only issue with it is the base unit circuitry is very fragile, so don’t drop it! First one got replaced because of said gravitational issues 🙄

Sorry for delay. Amazon.

Dam this sucks haha, I just received and have been excited to use it, but I feel like I’ve came across more than one post that talks about the durability being weak on the LPS.....😔😔

The LPS is not bad as far as sealants go. So if you bought LPS then use it with no worries.

My complaint was and still is the lack of longevity of the ceramic products.

I’m pretty sure Adam’s anticipated all of these questions, and thats why they made a pretty good write up on the product page and included a video

Well the video is no help, but the information on the bottom of the detail spray page was in fact helpful. Thanks !

Good question. I just ran across the video on YouTube. The color and bottle design is confusing as it looks like detail spray. So I have to wonder if its a replacement for DS and if it isn't, why didn't they change the color or something to differentiate it. #Confused

A lot of times suds = lubrication. Actually in most cases. That is why we use foam guns and foam cannons while washing; to reduce scratching and increase lubrication. 

  

While it doesn’t need to be shaving cream thick, suds never hurt anything ?

Well  my reason for using a gun is to get soap on and let it soak. I cant see where it adds any lubricity.

I don't understand everyone's need for suds. I personally would rather not have it.  I don't see the value.

I want cleaning ability and lubricity and something that does not streak or cause issues if it starts to dry. Adams shampoo does exactly that.

I have a 2305 and had a 345 before that. Normal polishing compounds works great on the plastic.

As much as I try I just cant help but keeping them polished.

My car has ceramic coating along with CB.  You could use either DS or WW without effecting the hydrophobic properties of the CPW.  That info came straight from Adams customer sevice. 

That is good to know but I thought Adam's said that anything over boost would reduce the hydrophobic  properties.  I miss using detail spray for a drying aid so this is good info.

I want to trade a new ceramic kit and bottle of Boost 2.0 for Ceramic Wax and any of the following in gallons to make up the difference. APC, Shampoo or glass cleaner.

Must be new and unused.

Thanks

I can vouch that mail response has been very slow. I rarely use phone so can't say anything about that.

Send emery@adamspolishes.com  Emery an email and try to resolve it.  He seems to be very responsive.

I have been wiping my cover with HGG. I dont like how the VRT streaks down the truck.

Yikes. Must live in ankeny area. I was at goodguys car show that weekend. Even our hotel was leaking lol

You nailed it. I live in Ankeny.  Where were you staying @Zach5.9CTD

Buttery is traditionally effortless to apply and wipe off. So not sure what you have going on.

I do not use it because it does not last long enough but my experience is easy on/off.

As Jim said I would contact Adams.

I told them first time around. The day after I coated the truck. So that has been a couple months ago.

Could you understand him??  

I am used to him so yes.  I have watched a lot of his videos. 

Got my replacement ceramic coating today. For those interested the instructions are still wrong.

Adams has confirmed that my 45 seconds of dwell time was probably not long enough and the new formula should the initial time to rainbow plus 2-3 minutes.  I cant believe they have not added an addendum sticker or something to manual.  Doing a coating job is no small task and its nuts to continue to lead people down the wrong path.

Thanks man !

We got over 10 inches of rain here and most of it came in about 4 hours.  More rain than I have seen in my lifetime and hoping the last time I see it.

Anyway, will get ceramic on the truck again as soon as I catch up !

Maybe not in pooling water, but sounds like a pool, no less. Wow! Wish you well in getting it fixed. That's a lot of water.

Picking away at it.  Unfortunately insurance wont cover issues like this. So replacing an 8 year old Geo Thermal system is frustrating.

We were not in pooling water but we had so much water coming down the back hill that it broke our egress window and flooded the basement. 8 1/2'  (yes feet).  So basement mechanical's all trashed and all personal belongings.  Fortunately our basement is not finished except for stairs, landing and small hallway.

Glad you escaped damage !

Funny you would mention sheetrock.  That is my current task. Have it taped and first coat on.

I have it as well. But was hoping someone from Adam's would jump in with a recommendation. At $30 a bottle I hate to experiment or waste it

Well for me Boost is to expensive to use as an every wash detail spray and drying agent.  So for in between it needs diluted with something cheaper.  I am looking for that product and since Adams does not offer it, I appreciated your post.
