Thank Dan....definitely will try your method the next time I G&G after wash!

My process now is to do a final rinse and then start applying G&G and drying a panel at a time, but the last few panels are dry by the time I get to them.  I do prefer the wet application method but don't want water drying on the car, so I was thinking I could dry the whole car first and then use a sprayer with water to just wet each panel as I go.  Thoughts?

So, if part of the car will likely dry before you can get to it with the G&G, then it seems that it would be better to completely dry the car to prevent water spots, and then go at it with the G&G.

What's the best way to handle quick water drying when wanting to apply H2O G&G? Is it better to just dry the entire car first then apply using the dry application method?

I use the Brilliant glaze at least once a month on all my vehicles. That stuff is incredible. I don't clean the windshield before hand, i just apply it to an applicator pad and BAM the windshield looks brand new without any hazing or streaking.

So, nothing done to the windshield before hand?  Just normal, semi-dirty glass.  Apply BG, wipe off haze and it's crystal clear?  If this is true, I will have to finally open my unused bottle to check that out.

Great write up!

So there is no ideal step between finishing polish and paint sealant?

Same pet peeve with my wife.  When I start washing her Murano, she explicitly states that she wants that glass to be "invisibly" clear.   

Great review! I am thinking I need to make an investment in the glass supplies. I assume when you drive west with a low sun, the glass is crystal clear?

Curious, how far up on the Adam's bucket is 3 gallons?

Welcome!

How would a touchless wash generate swirling?

I wonder if Adams could offer their own "prime" type subscription service.

My wife's 2016 Nissan Murano got a 2 bucket wash, pumpkin spice detail spray wipe down and a full interior detailing with my first time using the interior cleaner and leather conditioner.  The conditioner seems a little uneven, but I suspect it will look better with additional applications and improved technique.

No specific concern

Thanks for the tips!

Is it a bad idea to use the GWDT for drying with rinseless?

I didn't realize they were longer on purpose and have been trimming the tube. ????

Might be nice to apply it to dash and doors if you don't mind the gloss. I assume it would maintain shine much longer than the conditioner.

I'm still debating...currently love how TID leaves the appearance of my dash/panels.  

Same here....first time using the conditioner on my dash and doors.  For some reason, I feel like it looks more even than the TID but the might be due to the fact that it was done after using the cleaner which was not the case when I first used the TID.

I do the same. The MF applicator works way better for me than a towel. For removal, I use an Adams plush grey borderless. (H2O G&G stained white single softs.) 

What is a good method to clean the applicators after use?

Detail spray and G&G every 3rd or 4th wash.

About the same.  I haven't yet tried a Rinseless but I will likely finish up with a detail spray after wiping off the wash.

Yeah, I had a pull-top pop open in my recent MB order which would have been pretty cool if the inside of the boxes were made of Vinyl, Rubber or Trim. :-P

I use Universal Stone cleaner and Stainless Steel ecloths for the sink and all of our stainless appliances.  The only combo of cleaner and cloth that has ever gotten my appliances perfect.
