Hamilton Detail

You are correct, Adam’s currently does not have a product that compares to Bead Maker. I absolutely love the stuff. Fantastic drying aid.

I think this is fair to post since Adam’s doesn’t make a glass polish. OP, you need to polish that off using a product like Carpro Ceriglass and a Rayon pad. It will remove the coating completely. Someone from Adam’s will need to chime in and explain this one.

My wife and I are both disappointed that they didn't do the pumpkin spice odor neutralizer this year

For me, this video answers it all:

100% nailed it. Totally agree with this.

I used s fabric coating made by another company on my Under Armour shoes and it turned out great! I no longer have the issue of water getting into my shoes while washing a vehicle.

I 100% agree with you. I'm not a fan of this gimmicky direction they have taken at all. I've been using Adam's products since 2011, and like you've mentioned, they have changed so much. I noticed the biggest change in the company after Dylan left and Matt came in. I'm not going to bash Adam's, but I will say this: I used to be 100% Adam's and wouldn't even dare consider another brand, but that is no longer the case for me. I've discovered other brands that remind me of the old Adam's. So I guess I'm voting with my dollar. Another thing that used to impress me about Adam's was the customer service. But I've experienced 2 situations that were not handled in the way that they used to be. Out of respect, I won't go into the details of that. But I know for fact that we are not the only ones feeling this way. I've talked with many different people at car shows that are saying the same things. We are not alone.

This has already been done by a few reputable companies. I can think of 4 off the top of my head and I use one of them regularly.

Beautiful Terrain! My wife and I used to have a 2018 model, however we had another child and needed more room and traded it in on a Tahoe. But we absolutely loved that Terrain. You can dap a little bit of leather conditioner onto a foam applicator pad and have no problems with the ventilated seats. But, I highly suggest ceramic coating the leather seats instead. I also have a side business of car detailing and recently just ceramic coated one the same color as yours:

This is an easy fix. In fact, if your willing to step outside of Adam’s, another coating company makes an awesome polish designed to fix swirls/scratches without removing your coating. I can PM the details of interested.

Maybe it's a new detail shop? It's very common to have ridiculously low prices when first starting a detail business, just to get customers in the door and get a customer base started. I hope this is the situation, otherwise this may get interesting. One of my favorite quotes: "I don't do $100 details, I fix them".

I'm assuming the ceramic residue was removed when installing correct? If install procedure was followed correctly, Adam's paint coating may not play well with vinyl. My shop uses other brands for coatings, so I'm not sure about Adam's. I would go ahead and remove the coating off the hood by polishing. If you would like, I can message you the coatings I've used that works very well on vinyl.

Which coating did you use? The paint coating or the spray coating?

No need to remove the coating. Just simple use a light polish and a light polishing pad. It will remove the spots without removing the coating. 😁

The rinseless wash will be a great option to use on a coated car. Also the information about it containing wax is false.

So I changed out all the spray triggers. I like these so much better. It fits my hands better. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01I7728M0

Check my setup out. I’m at the 4:11 mark. This video was submitted last year and my setup has already changed so much since then, but it’s still neat to see 😁

I 100% agree. Bought the same thing from Obsessed Garage. Definitely life changing 😍

That’s awesome! Happy to see something special for the forum! Thanks Dan! 😁

If you clay bar, you’ll want to polish the paint. A clay bar is an abrasive. It will mar the pint. A ceramic coating has amazing hydrophobic properties. Putting anything on top of the coating (besides a silica spray sealant such as ceramic boost) will affect the hydrophobic properties of the coating.

There's many variables we don't know, but if I were the OP, I'd go back to the installer. I'm guessing something wasn't done correctly, but that could be several different things. Adam's doesn't make a mineral deposit remover, but several other companies do. I think that's going to be the OP's best bet for now.

While I see your point, I would still prefer my personal vehicles ceramic coated. If done correctly, water spots are never an issue. If you spray detail spray, spray wax, H2O G&G, a spray sealant, or whatever on your waxed/sealed vehicles, it's no different than topping your coating off every once in a while with a silica spray sealant. The hydrophobic properties of a ceramic are second to none and the self cleaning properties are amazing. But of course, they are not for everyone.
