FP350S reacted to TheWolf in Polished for the first time
The oils in the polishes need to be removed prior to applying Paint Sealant. This is not needed for waxes and glazes, since they do not bond to the paint like synthetic sealants do.
A synthetic sealant like Paint Sealant gets its long protection life by actually bonding to the paint. In order to get the best bond, the paint needs to be cleaned of all oils or other contaminates.
I prefer strip washing after polishing and prior to applying sealant, since it does a better job at removing the oils. Depending on technique and how many clean towels are used, it is possible that a wipe down with Isopropyl Alcohol will not remove all the oils. For example, just using one towel for the wipe down will likely just be spreading the oils around, rather than actually removing them from the surface.

You could also use Adam's Coating Prep to remove any polishing oils. The plus is it contains lubricants that diluted IPA does not have. I have used a similar product from another company with excellent results.

FP350S reacted to Hamilton Detail in Car seat detailing
So to make a long story short, a friend of mine posted on Facebook that she really needed her son’s car seat detailed and wanted to know if anyone could do that. So being the Adam’s fanatic that I am, I said that I could do it.
I did it and and the results were just awesome. Now I have several people in my area asking me to detail their car seat. Who knew that this could be a thing?

FP350S reacted to GiggleMon in New member in Huntersville, NC
Hey all!
New member here. I was in the military forever and a day so now I live in Huntersville NC area.
I've always enjoyed washing cars and have been using Adams Products for about 5 years but now I'm about to leap into detailing fully and do the family fleet before it gets too cold.
Any advice y'all could give me would be amazing and I'm glad to be here!

This thing has become my detailing nightmare, errr obsession, errr therapy yeah therapy. It seems like I am always doing some form of daily cleaning or detailing.
Two weeks ago I actually found myself under the car on jacks cleaning the undercarriage with a rag and a spray bottle.

FP350S reacted to Fubusux in New but already sold out products or coming soon?
Hoodies sold out in less than an hour. I am not a big fan of super limited items since adams customer base is so big. The website was almost unsusable during the sale.

I got one of the shoe cleaners, except the label doesnt have the upside down "A" and it says leather and interior cleaner. Plus, it was about half the price

FP350S got a reaction from Checo in Last generation sprayer heads
I had this happen due to sprayer leaking. Went this route and no further problem. Holds more and vastly superior spray stream adjustment.
Got them from Lowes for $3ea. and even reused Adams 16oz bottle labels...Just lacking a Detail Spray label.

Video of iron decon process:
The answer to your question really is "it depends." All sorts of nasty stuff, and even good stuff (DS), gets embedded in the clay, but continually folding it into itself will prolong its life. However, using the iron decon process will likely remove a good portion of what you're concerned anout, leaving behind more of the normal stuff we all deal with.
