Looks great!  Is that a working truck, or is it one of your personal collection?  What year?

Yes he did it was raining but we were under the tents and he had beer on tap we had a great time 

It was just too f'n hot!  We were both done by 4 and just wanted our hotel room, and a cool shower.  

I did that once in my black Vette.  I used Detail Spray and Clay bar and got it all off.  That was within a day of it happening so it didn't sit on there too long.  A plastic razor helps for the really tough spots too.  Good luck, and make sure once he gets it all off, that he reapplies whatever polish, wax, or ceramic he had on before.  

Horse sense.

Welcome Gian. You living in Texas now?  

Adam is absolutely still part of the company and it is still Adam's Polishes.  Just with a few "tweeks".

Welcome to the forum!  

Wondering if there was some kind of chemical reaction between the Sonax and Adam's products.  

Welcome Paula.   Here's a tip. To really make it POP, get some Graphene Detail Spray or Graphene CS3 to finish off your ride after your wash . You'll be amazed at how deep, wet, and shiny it makes your car. It can be used as a drying aid as well. 

And keep in mind that this process is not a QUICK process.  You need a few days dedicated to it, especially since  you're new to it.  One day and done doesn't cut it.  But you also didn't post a thing after your original post, nor did  you post any pictures, so I'm beginning to think you're just here to try and stir things up.

Dang you guys are scaring me. I just ordered a Graphene coating kit to do my new vehicle. Have to say the videos do not make it look all that difficult. Now I'm not sure I want to tackle that job. Did order the complete kit with the light.

Should add that I will be anal about prepping the car first.

 

Correct prep is 3/4 of the job if you want it done right and to get the best results.

So I got taken.  Watched the videos,  read the product descriptions,  then purchased like $200 plus in Adams Graphene stuff.  Now my brand new Audi Q5 looks like

s**t.  Windows are really bad,  steaks all over the hood, doors,  I mean WOW.   TAKE MY ADVICE,  if you have a nice car let the dealer detail it.  DON'T use this stuff.

You didn't get "taken".  You just thought that it looked easy and jumped in with both feet without testing the water first.  I've been detailing for many years and still haven't gone past the spray Graphene coating.  It takes practice and experience.  But you definitely didn't get "taken".

Glad you made it home safe and sound Yeah we had no rain here but it was nice seeing you guys again well we know what comes next so have a great year I will keep in touch with the forum 

Got my room reserved for next year already! 

Stimulus check (send me another one!!) 

I'll get my pics up tomorrow

.  It was great to see you and Fran again Bob.  We left around 2:30 today, just couldn't take the heat any more.  Hit major thunderstorms on the turnpike which is never fun in a Vette with semis all around.  They stopped once we got off the turnpike, no rain till right before we entered our hometown. Then the clouds released one hell of a storm. Drove home through downed tree branches and flooded roads.  Wipers were going as fast as they could, but it wasn't helping.  We all had our four ways on just to be seen.  We did make it home by 5, and it stopped raining finally.   

And Scott.............where were ya buddy?

I had 96 here today.

Supposed to be hotter tomorrow.   And SOB, it's thunderstorming here at home right now.  Will make for a crappy drive in the morning, and probably fog in the dark early morning hours.  We're heading out between 5 and 6 a.m.  Saw a bunch of pics from today already and it looks amazing.  And in case you didn't hear, Ciocca Chevy is giving out free t shirts when you bring a card that's in your goody bag.  Haven't heard if Top Flight will be including a shirt this year in the goody bag.   But the car's packed up, just going to throw some ice in the cooler and water in the a.m., throw the bag, I mean my wife, in the car and heading out. See ya all there!  

Exactly right Guz.  You want the ceramic coat to bond with the paint.  If you need a boost to the shine, use the CS3, the Graphene CS3 or Graphene Detail Spray.

You excited Scott?  🤣

Going to be 94 Thursday, 91 Friday, and 88 Saturday with isolated thunder storms.  That's of today. We all know that can change.  Sure wish this event was a week earlier or later.

I am down here in Crawfordville and have a Champion dual fuel two years old. No problems at all .I run on propane and marine gas , non ethanol. I have been thru many canes with generators . Just run for several hours in morn and several hours in eve . Hooking into house system has never been necessary for me as all I try to run is reffer and freezer . My pump will hold pressure for enuf to get thru the day . Shower at nite when generator is running . Another advantage to not hooking in to house is if I like my neighbors I can run their refrig for a couple hours . It is not necessary to run more than 5 or 6 hours a day .

Where's Crawfordville?

I assume if there is some dust on it, it is ok to use DS to clean it before applying BG.

Yep.

Rich,

I hope so, we are having flood warnings up here already.

Same here. I'm in Johnstown Pa. and it's been rain, rain, and more rain. Good. Get it out of the way this weekend!!!   Rain doesn't bother me though at the show.  Unless it's like it was in 05 when those straight line winds went through and tore the place up.  Don't want to go through that again. Lost my tent !!  

Patriot Wax and  Brilliant Glaze were my go tos on my Vette before I started with the ceramics.   See ya next week at Carlisle Tom!  Right now, the weather looks like crap. But that can change hopefully.

I would imagine a tunnel wash drive thru would take it off. 

That would also remove coatings that he wants to keep on.  Not a good idea.
