I'm by no means an expert, but I'd say carwash residue or bad prep

Yes swap 1st and 2nd, strip wash first then clay with detail spray, and apply sealer. Suggest 2nd wash with shampoo then apply h2o guard and gloss. 3rd wash with shampoo and use detail spray as a drying agent. Should only need to do sealer 2X per year, and guard and gloss every month to month and a half (so 3-5 washes with shampoo and detail spray)

All free and clear, it's in a white bottle. I usually run a load of bath towels using the free and clear, then my microfiber. I've been pretreating with brighter and revitalizer them using the All for the microfiber load. There are many schools of thought on this and a ton of diffrent opions. Be sure to dry on low heat if using the dryer.

I'm new this also, but I would recomend watching the winter prep video. I'm a huge fan of the paint sealer and maintain with h2o guard & gloss, great shine and water beads right off the surface. Can top with brillant glaze for extra depth

doesn't look bad at all

Welcome back.

Be sure to watch the video, and don't be afraid to come back here and ask questions. Once you see how great the products are you'll want to try them all. Doing it your self is garage therapy.

I'm in love with the paint sealer and h2o guard & gloss combo. Depending on the severity of paint damage you'll need some correction and then sealer. I'd suggest at least strip wash and clay bar before anything. I prefer a 2 bucket wash with car shampoo, I don't a warm garage to do a waterless or Rinseless.

Welcome. Daily driver kit is a very good start along with vrt and paint sealer. Watch the videos and everyone here is very helpful. I love the h20 guard & gloss to maintain the paint sealer. Read up on the fourms, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Great to know, I never paid attention the hex applicators had diffrent grades of foam. Sure glad I've been using as directed????

Happy New Year. I thank you and your staff for such great service, and a quality product. With all of your videos, this fourm, and the diffrent kits, I feel as though I can tackle almost any paint issue or interior problems I have. I thank you for caring enough to listen, and taking pride in your work and what you do. It shows!

Happy New Year everyone, be safe and have fun!

I'm in the same boat as you, proably bought/received about $650 us dollars worth in the last 3 months. Still experimenting!

This forum is awsome! Didn't know I'd be getting a science lesson today????

To the op, car looks great. Sorry to hijack but I can't find much info on wash&wax. Could I use it every 3 washes or so and go a little longer with out g&g, or stick with regular shampoo and do my usual g&g every 3-4 washes. Or personal preference, just debating if I should buy some wash&wax.

Every one is very knowledgeable and has a lot more experience than me, glad to know it has other applications. I doubt I'll get into any show cars, good tip to use with finishing polish.

You should not have to use g&g every wash, proably every 3-4,maybe longer. I use detail spray as a drying aid when I don't use the g&g.

I was taking inventory from Christmas and noticed I had some diffrent style spray heads. I'll try them in the near future!

Thank you for your service. I have 2 young girls, and being able to see them Christmas morning is great. They still get excited for Santa they have fun. I was able to snag a TON of Adam's, and can't wait till spring!

Another vote for paint sealer and maintain with g&g. I put paint sealer on my new truck, just washed, clayed, and sealed, it didn't take too long. Then I've been using g&g every 3 washes, a little more frequently only because of the salt and crap on the roads. I have good beading after 3 washes, so I could probably go longer. Noticed road debris is very easy to rinse off when using sealer/g&g.

Great work, and excellent write up. I can see the difference in the pictures. Thinking of getting a Swirl Killer in the spring, for home use, glad to know it can also tackle some big jobs.

Used Revive Hand Polish for the first time the other day, and just like every Adam's product, I'm impressed. Did some test spots on my wife's 02 Century, this thing is in rough shape, so it's a great test dummy. First spot is paint transfer from a door ding and the second is a scratch. I could just barely catch my nail on the scratch, so it wasn't too deep. Paint transfer was completely removed and so was the scratch. I also polished half the hood and was amazed how the water beaded up.

Hello. Adam's has awsome customer service, you won't be disappointed!

I've been using detail spray, or g&g. Either product helps with not having water spots. I'm newish to really doing a quality wash on my vehicles, used to wash with car soap and dry with a bath towel.
