Swirl marks post Ceramic Coating
Nickfire20 replied to makaman's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
I’d be rolling up at the shop, not a happy camper! 😡🤬 At the same time I always make sure prior, that they won’t be touching anything 🤷♂️ -
That’s wagyu! They feed those cows beer and massage them! We all need that in our life!

Ultra Foam + 2018 Pumkin Spice | Shine???
Nickfire20 replied to clarkeandrew1's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Ultra has a little bit of SIO2 in it. So it could be helping a bit. DS is also an awesome thing....I dont know anyone who has tried Adam’s DS, who did not continue using it.- 14 replies

Gotcha, definitely makes sense then! 👍 -
After Claying Should I.....
Nickfire20 replied to 98BlackSierra's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I was gonna say the same! I traded in my old 2016 tahoe, H2O and VRT On the tires, obviously it was generally in great condition, I worked them and got $47K for it. They said it looked better than show room. -
Black Trim Restore Qustion

Never tried but first thing that comes to mind is straight ISP alcohol. It takes Sharpie marker off most things. -
Ceramic Waterless Wash
Nickfire20 replied to Yo-Yo Ma's Cousin's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
I have never heard anything bad about it. Everyone loves CWW. I have been alternating, or using WW for heavier stuff. I still have 2 jugs of WW, and just recently got a 12 and 64oz of CWW. When I first got the CWW, I tested alongside WW on my front bumper’s bug splatter. They worked extremely similar and the CWW may have been a tad better at cleaning -
The "Don't Do's of Detailing" Thread
Nickfire20 replied to falcaineer's topic in Detailing Write-Ups
Yup yup, both good bits of advice. And removing CB overspray with CB, eh no good. Brilliant glaze is best so far and this is a Ceramic Coated Tahoe. Good learning tid bit overall and definitely a detailing DONT DO! UPDATE... Revive is making quick work of the overspray!- 151 replies

The "Don't Do's of Detailing" Thread
Nickfire20 replied to falcaineer's topic in Detailing Write-Ups
I cleaned the Tahoe up real nice like the other day. Ultra foam bath, wash, wheels, tires, and all. It was nasty after all this stupid rain...fast forward to today, I go to do a waxing of the new Ceramic Liquid Wax, and the surface feels very rough and not smooth. Under further investigation i see spotting. Long story short, the over spray of ceramic boost while hitting my wheels the other day under windy conditions, blew the boost all over the paint and windows. It took over an hour just to clean off 3 panels so far today. Clay did very little, while scrubbing it with Brilliant Glaze has been helpful. So for anyone who ever doubted CB, that **** is serious! Going to try to remove it using itself... Ceramic Boost....and will report back.- 151 replies

Wait time to wash after a ceramic coating is applied
Nickfire20 replied to Thayer_S2K's topic in New Member Check-In
I thought it was no weather for 24hrs, and no wash for 7days. It is technically still curing for a few weeks -
Adams Sealant & Ceramic Boost Issues
Nickfire20 replied to Fricfracfrank's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I use Adam’s Double Soft for application (wipe on, wipe off) just like DS. There is basically no need for a second towel, when I do this. This is also Adam’s recommendation I use this on my coated Tahoe with flawless results I use this on my wifes NON coated Honda with 99% flawless results, once in a while I will get a high spot at the edge of my spreading area, some waterless wash, and it’s gone. -
You made my cry a little bit...a brush car wash 🤦♂️ Ok ok ok I’m over it. Pics of this tar would best. Could possibly try clay May need a designated tar remover also ....a car wash!? 🤷♂️

Double Soft Different?
Nickfire20 replied to Yo-Yo Ma's Cousin's question in Towels, Brushes, & Accessories
I also thought that was aTRIPLE, those things are like fluffy pillows! -
Mat Cleaner and Trc make the mats a deep black, usually no need to dress. If you insist, ID is the way to go Can also consider Ceramic Coating or Boosting your mats

Ceramic boost over wax?
Nickfire20 replied to Velvethelmet's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Should be fine, I’ve put it over wax, sealant , and glaze, it just adds pop and protection! Awesome stuff -
Welcome sunshine! 😆 Allow me to recommend Ceramic Boost for those wheels and of Tire Shine for the tires. Glad you found GnG, top notch product!

Fellow Marylander...care to share what county or town? -
Ceramic coatings not for me.
Nickfire20 replied to Mantis's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
You sure did, I witnessed it! Make sure we get the pics as proof😂🤣😬 Besides, you know you want to!! -
Ceramic coatings not for me.
Nickfire20 replied to Mantis's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Honestly, I use to think that way. I had a couple gallons of DS and all that stuff, and would always be washing and buffing etc. But with a new baby in the picture, I purchased a new truck and coated it. I still love on it and wash it a couple times a month. A lof of products can still be used on coated vehicles, and they still need maintenance, and washing and drying are so much easier. I love it and will never have a vehicle that isn’t coated. -

Adam's 19th Anniversary Sale! Take 19% Off Storewide.
Nickfire20 replied to Dan@Adams's topic in Sales and Promotions
I did like the red caps! My wife and I are thinking the Glaze smells like vanilla pudding. I agree with you on the tire shine, it also appears to be the current tire shine, just a little thicker and different color to match Adam’s original blend when he mixed those other products. The Glaze is definitely a different blend, but i love it. Hope its still ok for inside windows, because I went to town! Also got the 2oz pouch of Ultra Foam in my box, little bonus there. -
