ZMAN024

I've mentioned this on other threads, but my Viper has CQuartz, and, as much as I like Adam's Detail Spray, it doens't play nice, at least with way the CQuartz is on the Viper paint. I do use CarPro reload, on both the Viper, and as  stand alone on the Ram. However, to remove dust etc (Viper stays garaged, and rarely sees rain) right now, I use Megs 34.

 

That being said - when I go to Carlisle in a couple days, I'll be picking up some Matte Spray, as that has less additives, and try it on the Viper. Will also be trying some Ceramic Boost, and try it like I use the Reload now.

Hi Scott.  Your original post about meeting up with the Adam's guys at Carlisle is what prompted my question for the forum.  Let me know how you make out with the Matte Detailer. I'm curious.  I've got a bottle of HydrO2 that I bought to use strictly on my son's Challenger.  I haven't used it yet as it's only been a few months since the coating was applied and the car has only been washed once since then. I will also pick up the Ceramic Boost in my next order.   

Washed and detailed my wife's Renegade.  Used my foam cannon......neighbors were probably wondering why I covered her car with shaving cream .  H2O Guard & Gloss.  Clayed the windows then sealed them.  VRT on the tires and body trim. Quick once over the dash and door panels with the new Interior Detailer.  Happy wife....happy life.

Welcome to the forum Chris. If you ask it..........they will answer.

Welcome Tyler.  Remember, it's not an addiction........it's therapy    

Welcome Kevin.  I'm relatively new to the forum myself and the one thing I can pass along is that all of the Adam's product are designed to work hand in hand.  I'm sure you're familiar with the concept of there being "many ways to skin a cat".  Well, the same thing applies to the Adam's product line.  You need to find the solution that works best for you to achieve the desired outcome, whether it's cleaning the wheels, or hunting for the deep shine that Adam's is famous for.  Layers of protection are the key.

I say, buy one of everything and do your part to help put Adam's kids through college !!!!!  

You will get mixed opinions, but DS should be ok, the reason that is, is because DS has a very very small amount of carnuba in it, making it a wax booster. H20 guard is a sealant, that lasts 3-4 months, so I wouldn’t use that. Matte detailer is meant for matte finishes, so unless you had a matte finish, stripes, etc. you don’t need to use it, but it should be ok on a coating because it has no wax booster. Is the challenger matte? Where are you looking to use matte detailer?

Thanks Nathan.  I read another thread where someone suggested using the Matte Detailer on top of the ceramic coating because it contained " less chemicals" than the Detail Spray.  I guess he was referring to the wax booster in the Detail Spray.  Thanks for the advice. 

Carpro makes a specific detail spray type product for coatings.

Thanks John.  I've seen their spray detailer. I was just hoping to avoid having specific products for specific vehicles. I'm looking to use the Adams line across the board

In regards to our products, Waterless Wash and Ceramic Boost would both work great with your ceramic coating Oz.

 

Ceramic Boost is a ceramic detail spray designed for ceramic coated vehicles, and it works excellent!

Thanks Dan.  I'll grab some in my next order.

My son's Challenger was treated with cQuartz Finest nano-ceramic coating.  I recently read on another thread that the Detail Spray may not play well with cQuartz.  Will H2O G&G also react unfavorably with the cQuartz ?   Can I use the Matte Detailer as a quick detailer on top of the cQuartz ?  Any advice or first hand knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Turning 16 would be a good start.

Next, save your pennies !!!

Nice Charger! Have you used PS, HGG, or ceramic coating on the wheels yet? It will significantly reduce the time it takes to clean them.

Thanks.  I'm waiting for my latest order to arrive.  I will try the H2O G&G.  The wheels were treated at the dealership, but that's probably all gone after 3 months and a dozen washes.

Gorgeous car! Miss my Charger, same issue w the brakes not sure on a solution other than the rolling back and forth a bit.

Thanks for the kind words. Believe it or not it's actually my wife's daily driver, so my hard work on the wheels only lasts until her first trip out during the week.

Sweet ride. Maybe drive back and forth a few feet each, enough to knock the rust off but not too much "mess things up."

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it and see what happens.  I do usually drag the brakes lightly for the first 100 yards or so, but it still produces some light brake dust.

Hahaha.  Agreed, but it's hard to watch all of my hard work go down the drain after taking it out on the street for a quick rip.  On average, I spend an hour to an hour and a half cleaning wheels before each wash.  

Weekly Wash and Detail  - 2016 Charger Hellcat

Looking for a solution to keep the rotors from rusting.  Seems to happen when I hit them with the Sidekick after a full decon with the Wheel Cleaner.  It seams the heat combined with the raw metal are perfect combo for the thin coat of rust.   Any solutions...............

Sorry guys, that's my bad.  I spent most of my time watching Adam demonstrate a few of his products and never thought about taking pictures.  He's a funny guy.  He made me chuckle quite a few times with his quick witted remarks.  My favorite was when he described the GTR they were cleaning up as ......"rougher than a night in jail".  

Went to Cars & Coffee this morning at Detailer's Domain.  I'm happy to say I Met Phil from DD and Adam.  Both are great guys.  Turnout was amazing.  Looking forward to the next one.
