waterspots after ceramic coating
Hamilton Detail replied to Slickit's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
The ceramic spray is somewhat of a different ball game. The boost isn't 100% necessary for it, but you can definitely use it on the ceramic spray and get benefits from that. -
waterspots after ceramic coating
Hamilton Detail replied to Slickit's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Let's use Adam's ceramic paint coating for example. When it says cure for 24 hours, that's just when it's safe to use the vehicle. Depending on climate and many other variables, the coating is actually still curing up to a week later. What allows it to be okay at this point is the silica sealant. It is also what keeps the water spots from happening during this time. I personally don't care for Adam's ceramic boost, but I do use another brand's version about once a month on my personal vehicles and never have a water spot issue. -

Hamilton Detail replied to Slickit's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Usually after the coating cures, it needs to be topped with a sealant, like ceramic boost for example. The ceramic boost would prevent these spots from happening. I'm assuming maybe this wasn't done in this case? If these spots are etched into the coating you'll need to try a mineral deposit remover or worse case scenario, polish them out and re-apply coating in those areas. -
So I finally applied the tire armor a few weeks ago. I did 3 coats per tire. Didn’t use much product at all. The tires have been through a few rain storms and are still going strong. When I washed the vehicle, I used nothing but a brush and a shampoo and the tires were flawless again. I was very skeptical about this product in the beginning, but I am happy that I gave it a try

Just tried the ceramic spray coating spray on my Wife’s Terrain. Very impressed so far. I coated all of the windows and wheels. Application was very easy and wiping away the residue was effortless. Now to see how it does in the rain and see if it’s as durable as Adam’s claims it to be.

Glass boost leaking
Hamilton Detail replied to rrmccabe's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Customer service isn’t anything like it used to be at Adam’s. I used to be 110% committed to Adam’s, but this is one of the few reasons why I am no longer that way. -
Glass boost leaking
Hamilton Detail replied to rrmccabe's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I had a similar issue a while back. Dan at Adam's sent me a whole new thing of glass boost free of charge. You should be good to go in another bottle. The coating prep is in a regular bottle and sprayer and it's just fine and the coating prep is basically just alcohol. -
Leather Air Freshener.
Hamilton Detail replied to Mantis's topic in Product Polls, Feedback, and Company Input
A leather smelling odor eliminator can be had from a certain chemical company. Smells identical to Adam’s leather conditioner. -

Hamilton Detail replied to dirtymarcus's topic in Product Polls, Feedback, and Company Input
Something similar to that has already been done by another company. But because of the rules of the forum, I cannot post who. -
Their competition’s version of tire armor works better in achieving gloss on the 2nd coat in my experience . And the competion also has a 32 ounce version available.

Iron Remover as Wheel Cleaner
Hamilton Detail replied to H0tttttt's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
You can interchange iron remover and wheel cleaner to do the same job. They both have the same chemical. Only difference being wheel cleaner is thicker than the iron remover. But to answer your question, yes. Just buy one, no need for both unless you just want to blow the money. -
wheel cleaner Wheel cleaner VS Eco wheel cleaner
Hamilton Detail replied to Adam Tarbox's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
If your wheels are absolutely trashed, then go wheel cleaner. If your vehicle usually generates a lot of brake dust, then go wheel cleaner. Eco wheel cleaner is good for light duty jobs. In my experience, I don’t see the need for eco wheel cleaner. Mainly because, just regular car shampoo and water gets the same job done. -
Bone-head play of the day

No, you didn’t loose any of your paint protection. -
Adams Spray Wax
Hamilton Detail replied to 91corvette's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I can get a gallon of spray wax from a competitor for $26 a gallon. It has great results and longevity. I’m not paying $60 for a gallon of spray wax. Seems a little crazy to me. I love Adam’s, but they were way behind the industry on this product. And on top of that, the crazy price. 😕 -
CarPro or Adams for CQuartz care?!
Hamilton Detail replied to GoldenArch's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
You should be good to go with Adam’s rinseless and waterless washes. I’ve tried ceramic boost on carpro cquartz uk and it did not do as well as reload. And in my experience the opposite is true as well. Ceramic boost does better on an Adam’s coating than reload does. -
Adams Spray Wax
Hamilton Detail replied to 91corvette's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
The only thing keeping me from trying it, is how expensive it is. -
Pan The Organizer does Adam’s Polishes!
Hamilton Detail replied to Hamilton Detail's topic in Lounge
Pan claims that we will never see him do a video on a product he doesn't like. Only because he finds it as a waste of time and doesn't want to bash any companies. He also does some comparisons in his detailing awards videos. But I totally agree with you, he should definitely do more comparison videos. -

Hamilton Detail replied to Hamilton Detail's topic in Lounge
In my opinion, Pan has the best detailing channel on YouTube. So I was very excited to see this 😁 -
You are correct, the towel seems to be gone. I know posting about Adam's competitors is against the rules here, however since they no longer seem to sell this item, maybe it's fair game. If not, mods please delete this post. But the same towel can be had from The Rag Company. They call it the Everest 1100.
