If you're planning on saving the RW solution for use at a later date, using distilled water is a great idea, and helps preserve the integrity of the solution.
 
Even if you don't re-dip used towels (introducing dirt) the polymers in the RW will collect the dissolved minerals in tap water, resulting in the floaties, or a ring around the bucket.
 
While these can be removed at the next use, it is essentially removing the useful polymers in the RW solution that encapsulate the dirt when washing.  Removing too much of the polymers fron the solution makes the next wash less effective (less safe).

You'll know them when you see them. Any dirt that gets into the Rinseless Wash bucket will "glob up" on the surface after a couple of weeks.  It's pretty easy to blot it up with a towel and remove it before using the solution but if it's too much I just toss it out and start fresh.
 

Welcome to the forum Brian.  You'll find that Adam's products are great. I'm 71 so I feel your pain.  Here's some "old guy" advice.  Grab some Revive and some Brilliant Glaze to start (hand polishing).  The Porter Cable polisher is super hard on my shoulders and elbows so I switched to the Swirl Killer and it's 100% better.  All the products for machine polishing are super easy on and off.  I found the Merino Wool wash mitt was too heavy for me, so if you have shoulder problems, give the Red Wash Mitt or the Wash Wedge a go.  All of the paste waxes (Americana, Patriot, Ceramic) are super easy to use.  Great protection and durability.
Take some time and watch the videos.  Figure out which products you'll use the most and try them out.  If you buy some and decide you maybe made the wrong choice for you, you can trade them in the Garage Sale Forum (no selling of Adam's chemical products) for something else that you'd like to try. 
We're a friendly group here. If you have questions, ask away. Again.........Welcome.

The trim restorer brought them back and they look great.

Tried soaking with rinseless and diluted apc, took it right off, thanks!

Clay and/or steam come to mind. We don’t know what is stuck on your vehicle. If it’s tar, a tar remover would work. 
 
We need more info to really help here I think. 
 
Also waterless isn’t that powerful. Try some rinseless on it straight up on a rag and let it soak a bit. 

I have also read about people overdoing GnG, absolutely insane!
 
Good job clearing the garage, i know the feeling.
 
I also know about other so so items ? They are now gone as well.
 
i have not compared GnG and wax.  But I have compared GnG and ceramic boost.  I preferred the GnG, but I just bought another boost recently.  Its not bad, but you have to literally use a 1/4 spray on each panel,  buffing is difficult with CB.  It smudges easily, and rightfully so, its made for a different application, but it leaves an awesome gloss on Balck!

Brilliant glaze is the bomb,  i use it multiple times a week, when the truck is clean,  makes the paint look dripping wet.
 
As for your other question,  I alternate,  so I washed my truck Saturday, dried with DS.  That night I brilliant glazed her, and “locked it in” with ceramic boost.  Other times I lock it in with buttery or Americana.  
 
If i use GnG, that’s typically good to go, until I get antsy and need therapy again ?  GnG gives an incredible mirror finish, where the waxes give it a wetter deeper finish.  Both are spectacular and addictive!  
 
Also a bottle of GnG will last about 12months between 2 SUV’s,  too much at once smears and doesn’t evaporate.  Just a couple sprays per panel.  6-8 for hoods/roofs.
 
I loved GnG sooo much when i first got it, i ended up with 7 bottles.  Then seeing how slow my first bottle wasn’t moving, I traded 5 bottles away.  Haha.

lol, ok just placed a new order, Americana shine kit (with brilliant glaze), h2o g&g, paint sealant, glass sealant and some more tire shine (that stuff is awesome).  Hopefully can sneak this into the garage w/o being seen and pay off the cc before viewed as well LOL.

Thanks all, looks like my cart is gonna grow a bit

Here's a post for cleaning the towels used with HGG:
 
 

You've asked a lot of questions here and, really, the only way to answer most of them is "it depends".  There are SO many variables involved that no-one can tell you how long any product or combo of products will last on your car.
 
Your best bet is to do what most of us have done:  Use the products and experiment for yourself.  You're not going to hurt anything and you will probably come up with a combo and procedure that works best for you.
 
That said - I use Wash & Wax and H2OGG on my F150 that sits outside and gets a lot of weather and dirt road time.  I only wash every couple of weeks (maybe monthly) and have never had any buildup. The truck looks fantastic (for a little while).
 
I use Liquid Paint Sealant and Americana on my Camaro - which is garage kept and only out when the weather is great. I use Rinseless Wash to keep it clean and top with another coat of Americana when I see that it is not beading in spots. Every year or so I will strip it and lay down another combo.  If it gets too dirty for Rinseless (which is rare) I'll wash with Wash & Wax.
 
I've been very happy with these procedures and I'm sure you will find one that works for you.
 

1. The HGG will enhance the Glass Sealant.
 
2.  The HGG will extend the life of the Paint Sealant by providing another layer of protection.  The way to know would be to skip an application and still see that the Paint Sealant is beading nicely after two months with no HGG applications.
 
3.  Proper towel cleaning is required to keep your towels from being ruined by the HGG.  I will find a post to link for a cleaning procedure.  Yes, it is worth the extra towel cleaning effort to use HGG because, unlike other sealants or waxes, the HGG is applied to and protects plastic and rubber trim, glass, and vinyl graphics (if you have those).
 
4.  There are many factors that affect longevity, but in general, the HGG will last longer than Buttery Wax, and probably last about the same as Americana.  But the advantage to the HGG is it is faster to apply, and provides the protection to the surfaces discussed in 3. 
 

Your first question-it does boost glass sealant.
 
and for your other questions....I put down paint sealant twice a year after a good strip/clay/polish and then maintain with buttery, americana, GnG, Ceramic Boost, Detail Spray(it has wax in it), and wash and wax.   I can’t keep my hands off my truck, I’m always doing something. 
 
I will say, even with all this protection, the bottom rocker panels, still display standing/sticking water at times.  And the rear window/tailgate always collects and holds onto dirt.  (I have a Chevy Tahoe)
And all other surfaces constantly bead.  

What I just found by accident that is working for me is spraying the tire with T&R, then spray it with the old APC and then scrub.

Okay now today actually was wash day! ? 

Out the the three choices single double triple I myself prefer the double microfiber towel.  Seems to be the best fit for everything I use and or prefer. The single is a far second but nice for the quick spray and go. 

I actually prefer using the borderless grey towels above all others.  They are more of a general utility towel but are plenty soft for most every purpose.  Plus they don't stain like the white towels......single, double, or triple.

Gotta agree with Zman, my favorite towel is the borderless, I tend to use them the most.

I have all that are mentioned above.  I love the singles.  Super fluffy and soft.  Great for DS as well as removing BG, PS, BW etc...
 

Thanks for the write up and recommendations.  In all the years I've been using Adam's, there are maybe 3 products total that didn't get a rave review.  Best stuff out there.  

Trim Restorer will start to cure in approximately 5 - 6 minutes, however full cure time is 6 hours or more depending on weather etc.
In this 6 hour window you don’t want to get your trim wet.
Have fun detailing!!

I wanted to take some time and plug some adams products that i've purchased and love.
 
Wheels:
 
Tire & Rubber Cleaner - man this stuff is awesome, I love how much it suds so you can really tell when you're pulling the dirt and brown crap out of it.  I've used a few all purpose cleaners and none of them can touch this stuff for tires.
Adams Tire Brush - Didn't realize how a quality brush that's properly sized can make the process go quicker and more efficient.  The grip on this thing when wet is amazing.  Only possible con was it lost around a dozen bristles when i first used it but it's not noticeable - probably just like a paint brush - the stragglers get left behind
Eco Wheel Cleaner - I don't have a vehicle with high performance brakes (just a tundra and mazda 6) and I haven't tried the regular wheel cleaner yet, but I have tried Griot's heavy duty wheel cleaner (which smells terrible but I hear that's a common theme with the purple inducing chemical).  For my wheels however the eco wheel cleaner suds a ton and cleaned the rims every bit as well as the griots with much better nasal results.  Rims shined great and there was no issue with brake dust removal, no need to do a second application.  Can't speak to how it works with high performance brakes but that's obviously not it's intention and for my cars I'll feel a lot safer using this!
Exception - Original wheel woolie:  While the quality of this was fine, the handle was extremely thin and slippery when wet so I really had a hard time controlling this.  The angle was great to get behind wheels but I found myself frustrated with this one.  Also this item disappeared on me somehow, no idea where it went so only got a few uses out of it.
 
Glass:
 
Glass Sealant - This stuff amazingly goes a long way.  Unfortunately after 3 windshield treatments and still having about 3/4 of a bottle left the bottle disappeared (not a common theme, this was the only other thing that I lost).  I decided to try Griots glass sealant for around the same price but 4x more quantity and I have to use more than twice as much for a single application and the directions say to re-coat.  Performance of both is similar and I can't compare longevity as I can't do a side by side with the same conditions, but the Adams was waaaaay easier to apply.
Glass Cleaner - Smells good, cleans super easy, seems more lubricated than invisible glass (which gives good results but feels almost grabby with towels).  If price was not an issue i'd choose the adams over invisible glass.
 
Towels:
Ultra Plush Drying Towel - This thing amazed me, dried an entire SUV with no sealant/wax on it no problem no streaking.  Previously used Griots pfm drying which to be honest is also amazing but feels bigger than this one and dry capacity seems the same.  I also did not use this as written in the product description so will give that a go next time and see what the difference may be
Green Glass towels - again comparing to the griots pfm glass towels.  Both clean very well, the griots are palm sized with almost a silk backing compared to just a flat backing on adams.  Adams feel like they're 3x the size of griots and while I like the idea of griots, if you're not cleaning an already clean glass or an un-sealed glass then I find my hand sliding off the silk and not controlling it very well.  With the Adams towel I get the same results, no lint, no streaking, and it goes much further and i can shape it however I want.
Single Soft - This thing is super soft and makes me want to try the double and triple soft towels.  I've barely used it because it's so nice but just picked up some choc. mint detail spray so gonna give it a go with that for further testing
Utility towels - pretty basic but well made
 
Paint:
New Red Wash Mitt:  So this thing surprised the crap out of me.  I've never really thought about wash media before, have a mitt and sponge from pep boys that seemed fine.  Holy cow, this thing holds suds like no ones business.  Love the color and with the white fibers it's easy to tell when you've picked up dirt and when it's come off w/ the grit guard.  Love this thing and will probably get another in the future unless mystery buckets have a diff wash media to try.  Can't see something being that much better.
Waterless Wash:  This stuff smells like fruit candy.  Have only used it on one door panel so far but lubricity feels really nice.  I used this in conjunction with rinseless though so not sure how it would do with just a dry towel - will probably only ever do that if there's a bird bomb or something.  If anyone has any tricks w/ this let me know
Rinseless Wash:  Also just received this and used it once and can only compare this to the wolfgang uber rinseless.  Slickness wise they feel the same to me.  Wolfgang states to use it in slightly more water thus making it slightly more potent, but Adams smells better to me.  Uber smells fine, just like fake cherry.
Detail Spray:  While I haven't used it much yet I used some in the sample kit I ordered and I like the scent but my wife doesn't.  I did just receive the chocolate mint version which smells awesome, spot on guys!  Using it compared to speed shine from griots and wolfgang uber mixed to a detail spray setting, adams is definitely my favorite.  I can't speak for dust collection, but it takes a lot fewer wipes to be streak free and I don't really notice a shine difference between the 3 (I'm def not a shine connoisseur...yet).
 
Interior:
Interior scrubb mitt: I really like this thing.  The only real negative i could give it is it picks up so much dirt if your interior is dirty that after the first square foot or so it's hard to tell if you're picking more up because the mitt is brown.  Obviously this is not a negative as it's working but be aware if your interior is filthy and you like to see the dirt being picked up you'll need to be more creative about how you use this to get more of the surface of the mitt dirty or get more than one.
Foaming interior cleaner: Using this in conjunction with the mitt will strip all grime off of the interior.  Previously I've only used griots interior cleaner which does work well but i have not used that spray cleaner with the mitt or this cleaner with a regular microfiber nor do I have Adams regular leather and interior spray so can't speak to the difference between those, but my intention with this product was to use it with the mitt and that combo seems will clean anything in the car with no problem.
 
Misc:
Red Spray Nozzle:  This thing is really nice, pretty powerful stream and easy to control - definitely high quality.
Interior dressing applicator (red foam pads):  Only can compare these to the foam pads i got from pep boys.  These are twice as thick and feel softer and have been much nicer to use so far.
 
I have the black trim restorer kit i'm waiting for better weather to try out on my bumper and running boards but can't comment on it yet.  Will post more on the rest of the products i have but haven't tried yet as well as those i get in the 2 mystery buckets coming tomorrow.
 
I know this got a little long winded but the main point is that every product of Adam's I've tried has been awesome (except grip on first angled wheel woolie).  It gives me confidence that any product I continue to try will be awesome and with the company practices (110% guarantee, made in usa, high-quality fun to watch detailing videos, etc.) there's no need to look elsewhere.  Thank you guys for awesome products and the great service (the 1 time I had to contact you via livechat on website).
