    SlammedRT got a reaction from Rich in New Ceramic Spray Coating and SALE!   
    It wont react well. Its a version of 476 which is basically a sealant. Sealants and coatings don't mix well....

    And to that point it would be great if Adams would publish their test along with other companies for comparison but there is a 0% chance of that unless someone thinks they are far and away better

    Cars look great! Maybe I am misinterpreting but PS needs to go down first to bare paint then glaze. I hope that is what you did? PS won't last near as long if not.

    Looks like clear coat failure to me, repaint is the only fix. Although wax may keep it from rusting....

    Well I dug the GTO out of her dusty hole in temporary storage and gave her a little love today...Adam's style. 
     Just a simple two bucket wash and then dried with some H2O gg. Love that stuff!!!

    Hi All, 
     
    After seeing a need for some flowcharts and more "processes" for overall detailing, especially Ceramic Coating and maintenance, I've developed the roadmap to Ceramic Paint Coating! Let me know what you think and how this can help you-- Also, If there are any processes you are confused by, list them here and I'll consider them for future flow charts!

    Spent yesterday in on and off rain working on this Fusion for my bro in law. Definitely looks better, and smells better! Used all Adams on the interior. First time using the iron remover and the clay mitt which was awesome. It saved me tons of time.  The paint has some scratches but didn’t look too bad. I didn’t have time to correct. This was a scramble to do what I could in a day.  I used another company’s polish (for shine) and sealant.

    This is the my daughter's Range Rover that still needs some additional time spent on it, but it took a major step forward today.  The front rims where nearly black with brake dust and grime, my son-in-law and I are pleased with the way that they came out.  The information on the site, the video's and all the hints from the members have helped with the learning process, but there is nothing better that knowledge to use by getting your hands on the vehicle with the products - plus it helps with the addiction...
     
    I have nearly ran out of Red motorized items to do, so I may have to resort to doing the riding mower after I mow on Sunday, yes it is Red, so it qualifies.
     
    The other item I did today was use the left over Ultra Shampoo in the Foam Gun on the garage door along with an old microfiber sponge.  The door really cleaned up nice and I even cleaned the windows with the Glass Cleaner.

    Over the last month or so I have learned a lot about the Adam's products and it has been an adjustment from the previous products I used, but the results are worth the learning.  I have also added to the collection which has also helped.   I'm posting two pictures, the first picture is from the very first time I used the Adam's products on my truck and the second is how it came out today.
     
    First I want to thank @pirahnah3 for reading my original post and letting me know to not worry about the Ultra Shampoo drying on the truck.  Hitting the entire truck with the Foam Gun and then washing it from end to end made it easier and cleaner.   Second, I want to thank all the other members who have posted tips and their methods for getting the vehicles right.  I know I still have a lot to learn about the Adam's products and some 40 year old habits to break.  My very first detailing was on a '67 Nova when I was 16, sure wish I still had that one, and it was 40 years ago.
     
    Having plenty of Adam's MicroFiber towels also helped, they are significantly better than the others I had been using.  I also added some additional products, including the new family favorite with the Glass Cleaner.   The original picture had used a very popular off the shelf blue glass cleaner, today's wash included Adam's Glass Cleaner - I think the differences are pretty obvious.
     
    For anyone who is not noticing the differences, I'll point them out.   
    There is no reflection is the side windows in the original You can see the pine needles and individual leaves in today's picture Through the windshield + drivers side window the bush looks distorted in the original Today, you can see the individual leaves looking the same same two windows I also have a tip.  Tree Sap comes off rather easy when the vehicle is soaped with Ultra Shampoo and you can carefully slide a plastic razor blade under it.  The soapy lubrication allowed it to lift and come right off without any effort or marks left behind.
     
    In another month+, I'll give her the full treatment and post

    SlammedRT reacted to tlbullet in First time using CC-review   
    I just wanted to give members a brief review of several Adam’s products ive purchased and used. 
     In February of this year I discovered Adam’s. After reading the forums I formulated a plan for my DD.  Ive always been careful being a weekend detailer but these forums took me to a new level and made me realize i was doing it all wrong!
     I decided i needed to do full corrections and then was going to CC both my cars.  (13’ Acura Tl 6speed manual,white and 17’ MDX sport black). Both stay garaged as often as possible.  I also realized my black MdX had a pretty decent amount of swirls and was in need of correcting. 
     I first purchased the 15mm SK kit.  I patiently waited for winter to pass and attempted my first full correction. 
    Before:
    After:
       Ive had zero experience with any type of polisher so I was extremely nervous to introduce swirls into the paint.  For those hesitant—make the purchase!! Its a great product. 
     Basically this SK was pretty much idiot proof and worked great.  All you have to do is take ur time, moving the SK slowly across the paint.  I was hesitant to use the blue pad w Hc,  but hit a few spots quickly; before taking my time and using the orange pad w/ CP. then finsihed with FP.  
     I actaully had to do this process twice because the first time i went too quickly and didnt let the product do the work.  There were still some swirls visible after the first attempt. 
     Others have said this but lighting is key!! Soo true. I had every LeD light I owned in my garage, looked great.  Pulled it out of garage and the sunlight showed some swirls. After another round, i was content.  It wasnt perfect but near perfect.  I could only see some swirls if i was leaning at a 75 degree angle
    and the sun was reflecting perfectly off the panel!!  I figure thats about as good as im gonna get!!!
     I then ordered the new CC kit. I prepped car as directed and attempted the Cc on my white
    TL first.  
    I was extremely nervous about attmepting CC.  I had read about “high spots” and the coating being tacky and difficult to work with. 
       I applied as directed (and as Adam did in the video). I was able to see the Cc flash pretty quickly.  I waited around a minute and then wiped off excess.  
     The white paint made it pretty difficult to see any high spots.  I found that the Cc was somewhat slick and not tacky like other members said of the older 7H CC. 
     I completed the whole car and let sit about 3 hrs.  
      I then applied the CB. I used a few sprays per panel and found it easy to apply. 
     After CC and CB
    I waited a week to see if I could find any high spots or streaking.   So far nothing!! Surpised myself!!
        Somehow i havent been able to test the hydrophobic properties yet because it hasn’t rained!!!!!!   Unreal. 
      This week i completed the CC on my black MdX.  The CC was still easy to apply.  you definitely have to be more careful
    with the dark paints. It was much easier to see the Cc flash. I waited about a minute to wipe off.   You can actually see where the Cc was applied; it left the paint looking deeper and darker. I did feel like I used the Cc a little more liberally this time around.  The high spots were visible and inwas able to take them down right away by wiping with Mf.  
     I pulled the car out into the sunlight and did not notice any high spots. 
     I let the car sit for 24 hrs and applied the CB.  
    Im not sure if it was the dark paint or me using a little more CB then i did on my white car but the CB was a little more difficult to use...but not bad at all.   I did notice some streaking from the CB but just took my time to work it in with a MF.   
     Here are the finished products:
     

     
     And thanks to you forum members my Adam’s collection has quickly grown..of course i needed every product thats made.

     
     I hope this is helpful to members either thinking about CC or full correction their vehicle. 
    I was very worried about screwing up
    both my cars.  But im very OcD about my cars and Im actaully very satisfied with the results. 
       ????Sk and CC kit well worth it and easy to use!! 
     
       Good luck

    Yea this stuff works great. My first week using it and it has saved quite a bit of time. I almost went through the entire bottle in a week though with 4 uses. Definitely going to have to go with the rinseless diluted from now on.
