Which first Brilliant Glaze or Americana?
Nickfire20 replied to 2Fords's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
I recently glazed then americana on my daily (but it is also garaged) its been at least a month, looks like glass and is still holding up well! I glazed first to mask any imperfections i may have missed with finishing polish. -
Buttery wax or glaze in a spray bottle?
Nickfire20 replied to MrRaspberryJam's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I did not know it was reformulated with carnauba, either way, I added a spray nozzle to my BG (no dilution) and it works great. Helps me in even distribution on my pad or applicator. 6-7 months now, no clogs. ? -
Swirl Killer Beginner Tips
Nickfire20 replied to vtaki801's question in Paint Correction & Polishing
Strip wash and clay first no need to wipe previous polish before moving to the next, unless needed to see where you are. But it would just be considered an extra step. Keep the pad flat at all times (unlike a rotary) Change pads after a few panels, or at least brush it out and allow to cool, the softer the pad gets and the warmer it gets, the less correcting it is doing. -

Yes all of the above, pretty much every hard surface, except glass, and not to be used on cloth either.

Ceramic paste wax application?
Nickfire20 replied to OmniCamaro's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Hey Kyle Happy Monday, Just curious how much SiO2 is in the One Step Polish thanks -
A little out of the norm here, maybe a little silly, but I am blown away with the final product. Only took 5-10minutes too. I apologize for no, ‘before’ pictures These globes have not been done in at least 3 yrs, were cloudy, and kind of gunky, as they are in the kitchen about 10 ft from the stove. I first cleaned with dish soap and water, then Adam’s Glass cleaner, and lastly Brilliant Glaze.

Did the wife’s headlights this morning. Cleaned first with APC and a magic eraser, then clayed, then microfiber pad and HCC with the SKMini, then blue pad and HCC, then all four pads from microfiber, blue, orange,white, all with ONE STEP POLISH. (One step is amazing, I love it! Anyone thinking about it, or thinking all in ones are no good, I highly recommend it!) Anyways, I finished with Paint Sealant. If you can see the pitting marks, the lens is actually cracked on the inside, this car is almost 13 yrs old and sits outside 24/7, and in direct sun a lot of the time.

Chemical streaks after wash and HGG?
Nickfire20 replied to ColoradoSHObro's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Couple thoughts... it is recomended to use GnG panel by panel if detail spray doesn’t remove what we see in this pic, try clay Question... how many sprays are you doing of GnG it is recommended for 1 or 2 sprays per panel, as with most of Adam’s products, a little goes a long way. keep us posted -

Does this Ceramic boost look right?
Nickfire20 replied to tlbullet's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Mine looks the same....my thought is that its the silica. ?♂️ -
Just came across this thread...but I definitely agree with Rich, these are huge events that brings folks from all over. The city caters to them as well, with discounts on food and lodging. A big ol Adams truck sitting in the convention center’s parking lot would draw a lot of attention for sure!

Welcome!! I would suggest starting with some kits, they save you time and cash. When I started, I piece mealed everything together, and definitely lost some money doing so. The Adam’s Shine is very unique, you won’t regret a thing!

I can’t really speak for longevity, but I do love me some Ceramic Boost! My truck is garage kept, and i avoid driving in rain when possible. I also use detail spray often, as well as, wash and wax, buttery, americana, and so on. I will say CB is easy to use and adds a glassy, glossy, wet look, at least to a Black vehicle. It smells like really sweet pistachios. It also works great on glass and plastic trim.
