Iron remover left some spotting
makaman replied to makaman's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Haha next time I mess up I'll try those and let you know. I did try detail spray and nothing. I did have some swirl marks from the last dealer wash so it was a kick in the *** to finally do it 🤙🏽🤙🏽 -

Man that sucks but glad yours came out too!! I guess I didnt rinse good enough since the last time it never did this. It actually took me longer to take out the swirl killer than to get rid of the spots which also helped me get rid of some dealer swirls too that have been bugging me. -

thanks man!! yeah kinda what i was hoping as it gives me a sense of closure still pretty weird since i use a pressure washer too....just gotta make sure im better when using IR. -
Yesterday I figured id decontaminate with some iron remover as ive had my ceramic coat on for a about 4 or so months. What was weird is that when i left it on i didnt let it dry or stay too long and the weather was still relatively cool, maybe 65 degrees and about 630am. When i was done drying i noticed what looked liked water spots on my A pilars but not on the actual body. Ive used the iron remover before and never saw this. Anyway I was able to polish her out but damn it had me pissed for a second. I did end up putting a coat of the ceramic liquid wax on after. Curious if anyone else saw this?

Master Blaster vs Air Cannon
makaman replied to Rrjrivera's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
I love my MB and was in the same situation as you. Even with the discounts you can get from the AC being an adams product vs the MB I thought the MB would be a better buy being made in the US. I also called adams support and talked with a dude about it. He mentioned that he would buy the MB between the 2 and he was able to try both. if you can spare the couple bucks grab the MB for the better quality parts. -
Washing and Polishing ceramic coated wheels
makaman replied to Hannah's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
That's probably the smartest thing you could have done to your forces. I had the stakz and would clean those bad boys at least 2 or 3 times a week just for maintenance and then do at least a hand polish every week. I CC my current wheels and having the coating is amazingly less work with just some soap and water. -

Swirl marks post Ceramic Coating
makaman replied to makaman's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Thanks fellas. Yeah I've had them not do the wash but those were quick visits ie a day. This one they had her for a week and it just slipped my mind as I was wanting her back vs thinking they were gonna doodle. Yeah just washed her this am and It sucks. I'll be doing a finishing correction when it's not 110 out. Just amazed how 1 wash kills it. The good thing is I still love how the water runs with the metro vac still. Have a good fathers day fellas!! -

this is what i was hoping wasnt the answer 😐 appreciate the response!! -
hey guys, So this kinda sucks balls...I ceramic coated my baby a couple months ago so she was all good. I had to take her into service and when it was done they so kindly gave her a bath. At first i was like not bad but then again it was parked in the shade....i get home and damn it i can see light scratches similar to swirlies... my question is to get rid of them would it require stripping off the CC or is there a way to "polish" up the CC to remove the swirls maybe some CB or Ceramic wax? Figured id put a pic of her before she was tainted thanks, makani

I like to use normal shampoo, then get to hand polishing them bad boys bringing them to a shine. MP 1 and 2 do the trick.
