A good way to tell in the meantime is if while polishing it the pad turned the same color, you likely burned it.

Agreed a pic would help, but if it is, sadly nothing will fix it but a repaint. Standing by...

Assuming proper prep and a full, even application, one layer is sufficient. With ceramic coatings, the law of diminishing returns applies - adding 2+ layers does not equate to 2x+ protection. Use the UV light to make sure you did a full application and you'll be good. That said, if you still decide to apply 2 layers, wait 1-2 hours in between layers max. The second layer will be easier to remove because the bottom layer will essentially reject much of the layer above it.

Some color variations can happen during manufacturing and bottling, you should be fine.

First, welcome! You're fine, it didn't strip it and would take a machine polisher to do so.

Thanks. As mentioned, I think you should start over using the steps above. Could be that particular interior doesn't respond well to the cleaner you used. Let us know how it goes.

Goo Gone will not remove a coating, you'll need to use a machine polisher.

First, welcome! As this is an Adam's forum, we will focus on what products of ours could help. It's possible the plastic is simply dry and the streaks are the dry vs. not so dry areas. My recommendation is to try and start over, stripping down the previous products. Use something like All Purpose Interior Cleaning Gel or Leather and Interior Cleaner, then top with Interior Detailer or even Leather Conditioner to rehydrate and protect. Also, pics could help so please post some, if available.

This should help answer that and more!

Enjoy!

There's the issue. Use a plush towel instead, a Borderless Grey Lite towel works really well. When you lightly drag it and it's slick, it's too soon. When the fibers start to grab, that's when it's ready. Depending on temps and humidity, the higher they are the faster it'll start to happen.

Yes, those. Sorry for the confusion.

Ah, gotcha. The spray coating won't really work with the other layers in between, nor frankly as well as it could even if right over top of the base layer only (assuming everything else was stripped off or otherwise gone). Will it hurt? No. But in my opinion not really worth your time or effort since the others are great options as-is.

The coatings need a bare surface to properly bond. Even layering them 2+ times does not give 2x+ protection. You can layer the water-based ones as they're designed to be sacrificial layers anyway. In other words, keep the true coating as your base, use the others as your maintenance.

I'm not at liberty to release the percentages/amounts, but from highest to lowest, the order is Graphene Boost, GCS3, and finally GDS. Hope that helps!

I'll ask our chemist, more to follow

Go with Graphene Ceramic, it's better, lasts longer, and is simply a great coating.

The original Ceramic Coating isn't offered anymore anyway, Graphene all the way!

The Graphene Ceramic Coatings are the highest end coatings Adam's carries. Here's more on the differences. https://adamspolishes.com/pages/whats-the-difference-between-graphene-and-traditional-ceramic-coatings#

Sorry, Dan, not sure I completely understand your question. Are you looking for a way to make the coated wheels shine more, or the aluminum ones? Or something else?

No, ceramic coatings need a bare naked surface to properly bond. With coatings 80%+ of the job is in the prep to get the best results.

Agreed with @The Guz. Just realize the traditional form is somewhat more difficult to work with, and you'll need to work in smaller sections than the spray. But we're here for questions!

Good morning! We went through a time with alternate sprayers during the height of COVID that had some issues, but clogged sprayers may be more related to the chemicals than the sprayers themselves. Which products are you having issues with in particular? For lack of call back, we have a very small customer service team and get a lot of calls. I recommend you send an email to orders@adamspolishes.com instead, and watch your spam folder, just in case.

I have an Acura RDX with a sensor and use this fluid routinely...no issues to date.

Agreed with @chops1sc
