FYI. I did the entire correction process again and used the supplied coating prep and.... the results are MUCH better. After over a month of washes I am still getting beading and the water droplets fly off the car like day 1. I am very happy so far. I also am not using the waterless wash I used last time to just avoid any mishaps.

Is there any risk if i break up the car into sections and apply the ceramic over the course of a few days? I would work from the roof down. Thoughts?

Like i said, I havent changed my washing and drying technique. I never obtained swirls like this before. What I am suggesting is that his is the first time my car's paint has been this exposed, hence the swirls .

I wish I could do a few panels a night and knock it out over the course of 5 days. However, The ceramic would likely get wet on areas previously done and that could ruin. I'll likely just redo the whole car the next free Saturday I get. The correcting process has always been the hassle for me. I think I'm going to drop down from a 6" to a 5" cutting disc and see if that helps speed up the process.

Its very possible that the car pro eraser was the issue. I do find it very odd that the car was doing so well for th first week then decided to take a poor turn. I'm getting serious water spots and swirls now. I'm pretty frustrated. I'm going to use the coating prep this time. I did let the car cure for well over 24 hours. I did the coating with a buddy and his didnt cure as long as mine. He is having good luck. The coating prep may have been the issue. I hope to find some time soon to correct the paint and reapply the coating.

I think the next go around ill use the coating prep and will only use adams waterless wash. Wish me luck.

I did not actually. I used car pro eraser to remove the polish and anything else left behind.

I recently applied the adams paint coating to vehicle. I stripped the previous wax and machine corrected the entire car with a 2 step method. Heavy cut and fine polish for jeweling. I then applied the coating tonthe car and let it cure for well over 24 hours. I then boosted the car after 35 hours. The first week with the coating was unbelievable. The beading was superb and i could wipe all the water off with one swift pass. No sheeting or anything. After about 2 weeks the hydrophoibic properties were gone. Now its been about 1.5 months and i have swirls all over the paint. Its like the coating is completely gone now. I have attempted to reboost the car many time with no luck. I didnt change anything in my process and have never had swirls to this extent. Im convinced the coating is gone. So, has anyone else had this issue? I cant believe it would fail so quick. Adams products are usually the best. The only thing that could have ruined is the Ultima waterless wash. If thats the case ill correct the paint and reapply. I hope the coating is holding up better for others. Please share how you maintain your car and how long it has lasted.
