Washed, once over with a fine grade clay bar and sealed. And dressed the trim. 

I showed the wheels, and the car, but never the car on the wheels...

First wash after the uv tracer spray coating.  Paint was dried and touched up with CS3.  
 

 

Great tip RayS! I've moved my black SUV over to ceramic so I have PS and a gallon of HGG. That's going to be used for my wife's MB GLK350 in the next month. She does not drive it much and it spends most of the time in the garage. This combo will last a long time. 

Tuesday night, I compounded the whole passenger side of the vehicle. It turned out excellent with just the Blue Foam Compound Pad and blue Compound on speed 5 on the SK Pro 15MM Swirl Killer Polisher, but I will still go over the car with the White Foam Pad and white Polish when I'm done compounding it. 



Then last night I began sanding the passenger headlight (need to go buy more sand paper) and then compounded out the hood, same process:


 
I hope to compound the driver side and roof tonight, then that will leave the bumpers and trunk for Friday night and coating Saturday morning!

Looks great! Yet another example of why do always do a two bucket wash and stay away from the scratch tubes  
 

Ceramic coated the explorer Saturday.  I did a full correction last Oct and have been maintaining it, but I wanted to take it to the next level, mission accomplished!

This is a great discussion. I'm stripping/claying my SUV this weekend. It spends most of the time in the garage and is not exposed to much in the way of harsh environments so I plan to use a fine claybar. I do have a mitt also so I'll probably use that at a later date for my wife's car. 

I had a car delivered last night and I got a good start on it before letting it sit in the driveway overnight since it was an exterior only job.   After a wash, iron removal and clay, I got past the layer to see how the paint itself was.  It was in a condition that I did my test section on the hood to find out what the effort was going to be.  Before it was all done, I spent 9 hours on the exterior just to make it presentable.
 
After going over it with Correcting Polish and a few Orange pads, it was on to Finishing Polish to make it look like a car again.  Unfortunately, the car came out of Florida and while it defeated many Love Bugs, they won the war and the paint eaten in many places and coupled with the many rock chips, the current owner is having it repainted this fall and then we'll Ceramic Coat it.  The front fascia is so eaten up that it needs to be replaced so I put the Original Ceramic Paste Wax on it to get through the summer .
 
The hood came out looking good, just too bad there are so many rock chips and love bug marks.  The last picture show the entire car and it is a beautiful car, it's really ashame the original owner didn't take care of it.  If it had of been Red, I probably would have made an offer on it today, it isn't every day that a 670 horsepower, 2017 Roush Mustang with a 6 speed manual tranny gets dropped off in your driveway.
 

Cleaned up the JKU this week.

Day 1583...... I CSC’d my drip pan in the new Weber👍🏼
 

Thanks for the clarification Dan! I've been thinking the same thing but wanted to check. BTW I'm loving CS3!

Wow that looks great! I'm on the PS and H2O G&G route for now on my cars but will move to ceramic at the end of the summer. 

your Camaro looks GREAT  Jen...................... below is another shot of it from our show in June 2019
 

Thanks Adam and team! I find it amazing that a company completely focused on detailing products is really stepping up! Thanks!!

I am kind of  partial to it.

Ok so not even remotely epic as some of these cars. This is just my beater CRV but I'm somewhat obsessing over different products. Right now I have PS, H2O G&G and touch-ups with CS3. I'm close to stripping it all off and prepping for ceramic spray wax but right now it looks pretty good so I'll probably hold off until the end of the summer.

This is so great what you guys are doing! I needed to order a 64oz Ceramic Boost refill kit anyway so I ended up picking up hand sanitizer also since it's impossible to find in our area or even online.

Truer words were never spoken. I've maintained my 2013 GT500 with Adam's products since I drove it off the showroom floor in 2012. It was ceramic coated in 2018.  
 

I vote for any of our Ceramic line, it makes black look GREAT.
Check this GMC that I did full paint correction & Ceramic Coated.
 

I CSC both my cars. Although I CC both of them in the fall, i couldnt resist the BF deal so grabbed the CSC.  (I know it’s probably overkill). 
  The CSC is sooooo easy to use.  It was very easy to apply and remove.  I was afraid of streaking on my black car, but it was much easier to remove then First gen CB!  Nearly streakless!   Probably used less than 1/3 of the bottle for both cars. 

Completed a full correction on my 2013 HD Soft Tail Breakout. It had been under a cover in the garage for a couple months. It was clean. Did a Waterless Wash, Clay Bar, Compound, Polish, and finished her off with Ceramic Spray Coating. Used my Adam's Micro Cordless SK Polisher. Great little machine.

My wife and I went for a drive in the light rain today. When I pulled into the garage she said why is there not one rain drop?? CS3 is really great stuff.
