Hamilton Detail

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.  

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   

Looking forward to your honest assessment.  Ease of use has always been a stable of Adam's products.  Durability - not so much.  

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.

lol
I have it and love it  

Something similar to that has already been done by another company. But because of the rules of the forum, I cannot post who.

I’m curious how it works and how long the open time is when spraying it. Part of the slow tedious nature of coatings is working small to eliminate high spots. 
 
Hopefully it is a new segment. I’ll be watching to see more about this product (and it’s competitors which will naturally come out).
 
I’m familiar with the hardness scale, it’s just an advertising gimmick as it relates to auto detailing. It’s not something tangible and only something to be talked about without being proven. 

Exactly this. We actually offer a 10H coating, but I never use it as a sales pitch for it. I use the longer durability, deeper gloss and more layers as the pitch. 
 
Hardness is just a number people can cling to it seems. 

The term 9h is a marketing/hype word that is practically meaningless in real world car detailing applications.  A coating’s effectiveness is measured by its ability to self clean, protect against contamination, and its aesthetic properties.  No coating is actually providing any resistance to scratching based on its hardness.  Helping to reduce swirl marks is a function of the self cleaning properties and preventing contamination from sticking therefore making the wash process safer/easier.

This sounds similar to Can Coat by Gyeon. It fills a need for a client who wants more than wax, but less than a coating. Although with different sealants and waxes our there it’s hard to say just where it fits. 
 
 
See above about Gyeon Can Coat. It’s most likely a stand-alone or last step. 
 
 
True ceramic coatings and a product like this are vastly different in terms of application. The chemicals (vehicle) to deliver a spray will naturally require more product. For example when we airbrush wheels, we use way more product than simple hand application. That will account for the volume of the bottle on some level. You also have to plan for the excess that ends up in your towel. Sprays leave much more surplus chemical than a wipe on product. 
 
And another thought, just because a product is released doesn’t mean it fits into your lifestyle. It’s okay to not use everything. We don’t use everything from everyone. In fact, there isn’t a manufacturer we use everything from.
 
Sometimes it’s okay to say no. It just doesn’t fit for me. It’s not a reflection on a product, but your process and how things fit in. There’s a million ways to do the same thing in detailing. Our process works for us. It may not work for everyone. It doesn’t make one better than the other. 

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. 

I agree.  Which is why you make it achievable with multiple coats to satisfy everyone’s preferences.  Having to put tire shine over a coating is absurd.

No, you didn’t loose any of your paint protection. 

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.

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. 😕
