Correct, Ceramic Spray Coating, and like traditional coatings, don't add it as a topper (beside on a traditional coating or itself). It needs bare paint to bond properly, or again, a coating already present.
 
If you want to use CSC, Strip Wash will be needed to remove the Paint Sealant and wax,and you should also consider using Surface Prep, too, to make sure the paint is clean.
 
CS3 (not CSC) is a silica-infused waterless wash type of product that can be used on a coated or non-coated car. But it's not your best option over Paint Sealant since that's an acrylic type product.
 
For simplicity, stick to the same product families with your protection and layers. Adam's breaks them down pretty well on their website, so if you find yourself buying from multiple pages all over the site to create your protection layer(s), you may be mixing them up and, while not necessarily "wrong," you may not be gaining the most benefit. To that end, if you haven't already, take a look at the article I linked above re: product families and layering. It really does a great job outlining them.

All done! Well except for my power strip I still gotta add.
 
 

I like to stare at it for days and weeks until it eventually washes off. I hope it would remind me to tape off or VRT the trim next time for polishing. Hasn't worked yet...

Welcome! Nice 6th Gen 1/LE!  I have a black 5th Gen 1/LE

I LOVE the Red Shampoo!!!!  I really think it is better than the blue

I use a soft toothbrush with tire and rubber cleaner to get wax out of trim.

I also like your Adam's collection as well!  Resembles mine!!!

I second using APC or tire and rubber cleaner with a utility towel and scrubbing.

Yep I just did that last night.  Wanted to test on the H20 G&G.  DAMN that stuff SHINES!

He is using the dilution ratio he likes to use for the foam cannon. Also I think the 32oz are gone, haven't been on the site for a while.

looks good!

Double check with your Body Shop/Painter, most say 90 days before any Sealant or wax should be applied. That being said I usually don't do much to a finish until I know I can protect it when I'm done.

Dan told me a while back that they only sell the short bristle now but the picture on the site still shows the long bristles

​All Purpose Cleaner or Tire & Rubber Cleaner will clean the black plastic trim, just be careful not to get any on the freshly sealed or waxed paint. Best to spray it onto an all purpose towel and wipe or scrub until clean.

It works great!

I got some T4/T5 AAC composit side rocker add ons and two Adams gift certs which I used to buy myself a Sidekick and a few others things :-). I picked up some extra time Christmas morning on the ambulance to let one of the younger guys be home for the morning since my girls wouldn't be home till after dinner time Christmas Day.

I laid out the edges all the way around 1" then measured my 32 ounce bottles and laid out the width for two rows and took started by doing the outside bottle holes of each row and then measured to center for the middle one.
 
For the 8oz/16oz bottles I started with one whole and then just eyeballed it and stepped over for each keeping a similar spacing between each that would keep me the same distance from the 1" boarder line and fit the most bottles. After that I drilled the 4oz bottle hole and the Sidekick hole. After that I filled in with the paint correction set, the metal polish set, the paint sealant then two holes big enough for an aresol can (the aresol glass cleaner IS coming SOON per Adams) which will open up a 8/16oz spot for something else like waterless wash or something.
 
For the hole sizes I simply purchased the harbor freight hole saw kit that was on sale for 6.99 or 7.99 with coupon (can't remember which price) the day I bought the cart. I used the saw size that would reach the edges of the bottles I was cutting for (remember that when the saw cuts through there will be about another 1/16th more that the inner demensions of the hole saw to make up for the width of the teeth) or the next size if there wasn't one that would come to edges of the item I wanted to drill for. Also I want to note that I simply kept the disc that remained after cutting for the sidekick to elevate it enough to clear the handle and the cord and sit correctly. I attached it to the bottom of the tray with a centered bolt. I do plan to remove it and paint it but for it is just bare wood.
 
I used the cart today while washing my wife's Tahoe and it was nice having everything I constantly use right there and easy to move around as I went. For example the 3 end 32oz bottles are Wheel Cleaner, Tire and Rubber Cleaner, and All Purpose Cleaner which all three are used in the wheel washing. The next 3 32oz size holes are a bottle of Detail Spray, H2O G&G, and then the Adams' Shampoo.
 
My 16oz bottles are Interior Detailer, Leather/Interior Cleaner, Fabric/Upolstry Cleaner, Undercarriage Spray, Tire Shine, Glass Cleaner (for now), a bottle of Leather Conditioner, a bottle of VRT, and a bottle of Brillant Glaze.
 
The biggest thing is have fun and be creative! Make it hold what you want it too.

Thanks! For the comments and the inspiration!!! I had been looking at making my own type of cart and I wash racking my brain on what to use for bottle storage. I had simply just not considered a piece of wood and drilling my own holes!! Very silly considering all the other things I have made from wood lol.
 
The same day I started on the cart I built a drawer work my work bench. Though I am definitely no cabinet maker it came out pretty well. The wood structure beside the blast cabinet it a mobile paint booth type thing for doing small cerakote parts w/ 2 Box fans stacked on the front and I use the standard air filters to catch the larger partials as the fans draw it away from me as I spray.

why is there so much panic when people clean the wheels and this happens to rotors?  This is normal oxidation in a rapid form from the aggressive cleaning solvent.  it is surface level only, move the car 20ft and use the brakes and boom it is gone.  As far as CBC rotors, I dunno but it is still a solid surface but posing the question to adams tech support would be best for those.

Great job on your cart, Daniel! 
 
I really like the way you arranged the bottles and nice idea to have a dedicated spot for your Sidekick.
 
Well done.

I like your ideas for the brushes!
 
But, it might be a bit before a Team Member chimes in, since most are at Barrett-Jackson this week, detailing like crazy!
