OK Shane, so here's a quick question for you.  Do you ever get to drive them other than pulling in and out of the garage ?  

All those beautiful rides.......I don't think I could resist the temptation. 

Oh, and by the way........Marquis is the man !

Everyone's doing some great work.  I'm convinced it's  never going to stop raining here this summer. In the meantime,  we discovered mice in the basement so that's my mission for now.  Guess they're probably in the attic too.  Frustrating. ?

Just keep them out of the garage and away from the cars. 

Welcome to the forums, Ryan.  

Chris has you covered ^^^^^.  Interior Detailer for a light cleaning and Leather Conditioner for some protection on the wood trim.  

Welcome to the group, Billy.  

Post up some pictures of the vehicles you are keeping shiny with Adams.

Welcome to the group, Josh.  

I'd push for a new set also. Hang on to the first set though, and see if you can clean them up to your satisfaction.  That way you'll have a spare set should anything happen to the new replacements.

^^^^ Agreed.  Never been there myself, but have friends who have gone and it's definitely a huge crowd and would be a perfect opportunity for some exposure.

Welcome aboard.    You won't be disappointed with the level of shine from Adam's products.  Lots of "shine-o-holics" here.

Welcome to the group, Reaper. 

Sounds like there is some kind of dealer-installed coating on the car.  It makes sense that the Waterless Wash doesn't react the same way since the WW doesn't contain any carnauba wax like the DS does. If you have any Ceramic Boost, give its try and see if you get the same streaking effect as the DS.  

Welcome to the group, TK.  

Not sure about the SPF of the Interior Detailer, but Leather Conditioner has SPF of 65 and can be used on most all of the same interior surfaces as ID (no NAV screen).  I would stay away from using VRT inside as it doesn't leave the surface non-greasy like the interior products do, and you may pick up some glare off the dashboard with VRT applied.  

Welcome to the group, Harmony.  

Best of luck with the new car.  No better time than the present to pick up the new 9H Ceramic Coatings.

You'll want to warm it up slowly using a hot water bath, like you're heating chocolate to keep it from burning.  Once it's melted and filled in around  the container again, cool it down in the fridge and it should be good to go.

What the heck do you guys do with it if you're not using it???  Just looking at the pretty colors and labels?  I have visions of you all just sitting in front of them, with your chins on your fists staring at them going "OOOOOOOOOHHH!"   "AAAAAAAAAAHH"    

How'd you know.  Sometimes it's the simplest things in life that make us happy.  

Welcome to the group, Keith.  

I recommend you watch as many videos as possible, and feel free to ask questions. Lots of great advice to be had from the members.

Oh, and post up some pics of the CRV, we love to see what you are keeping shiny. 

Another rainy day here in NJ, so what better to do than take pictures of my arsenal.  

Here are my Limited Edition detail sprays. Looking forward to a 2018 Memorial Day release...……..maybe apple scented.

Welcome to the addiction, Patrick.  .  You'll find most of the forum members have a full arsenal of Adam's products........... the addiction is real !!!

If you feel the need to include a drying aid with the wipe down, you can use the Matte Detailer, as it won't leave behind any wax that might degrade the hydrophobic properties of your coating.  Optionally you could use Waterless Wash or Rinseless Wash diluted 16:1 as an equivalent to help provide lubrication if you towel dry.  You should consider applying Ceramic Boost every so often  (depending on your wash frequency and exposure ) to maintain your coating, but it would be fairly expensive to use after each wash.  

Welcome to the addiction, Ray.  

Welcome Colin.  You'll want to try Revive Hand Polish to tackle those fingernail scratches under the handles.

Welcome to the group, Joey. 

As Chris and Eric both stated, you're among other like-minded "addicts" here.  Feel free to ask any questions.  We're also willing to help others begin the healing process.

x2 on sealing the windshield.  The video with Adam where he cleans and seals the windows on the rental SUV always resonates with me because I hate dirty windows.  A "must have" for me would be Glass Cleaner and Glass Boost.
