Dang! I wish I would have waited for the ceramic coating to get here. Does anyone know if there is a shelf life for the ceramic coating? I can't seem to find anything on the bottle or instruction pamphlet.

Hey guys!
So I recently did a full process of paint correction as well as a paint sealant. I was curious if I can put a ceramic coating over the sealant or if I would have to strip it down again to apply the ceramic costing.
Thanks!

Hey guys,
So I have done some research and I have heard and seen that dry ice blasting works for cleaning the undercarriage of vehicles. Has anyone ever tried this or had it done?
-
Thanks for the help. I will definitely try with the supplies I have and see how it turns out, if not I might have to invest a little more into detailing supplies.

Hey guys,
So I am detailing my girlfriends fathers trucks and both of them are used a lot in the fields. Both trucks are dusty and are actually dirty with the seats having the dirt dust embedded into the cloth and leather seats as well as the headliner. Any suggestions on how to remove this dirt dust from the cloth seats and headliners? I have tried vacuuming them but that only goes so far. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

Typically a few ounces of each. You’re apply drops, not big lines. More polish doesn’t equate to more polishing.
The 8 ounce polishes Adams offers should get you multiple vehicles/corrections.
Awesome! Again thanks for the help!

You’re welcome. Happy to help.
I do have another question and hopefully you wil be able to help me again. On average, how much polish and correcting compound should I be using on a normal size sedan?

The MBR is different from an air compressor. Compressors work on pressure, where the MBR works on volume. The MBR also uses filtered and warmed air. These things do make a difference. Another thought is most air compressors have some form of oil in them to keep the tanks from rotting. The MBR does not. That being said, even when using an MBR, you will have to use a microfiber to do final drying. The MBR won’t remove every last drop. It will get water out from the seams and trim.
If the decals are vinyl, we would usually work around them. I don’t know if we’d go as far as taping them, but we’d get close to them with the polishers. Revive is a good option for vinyl. It works chemically. You need to use caution on vinyl/ppl as the heat of polishing can cause damage to them as well as marring since they’re super soft. The most a vinyl should ever need if you chose to go by machine is a fine polish.
Awesome, thank you for the information!

Hey guys,
So I am thinking about buying the Adams Master Blaster but I am not sure how different it is compared to an air compressor. I have been using an air compressor lately and have noticed that it doesn't quite remove all of the water from my vehicle and it also leaves water marks if I don't use a microfiber drying towel. I guess my question is, what is the difference between the master blaster and an air compressor and does the master blaster work better?
My next question is about paint correction. I drive a "company/government" vehicle around that has decals on it all day through many different types of weather conditions. That being said, there are a ton of scratches, swirl marks, water stains, and etc on the clear coat. Can I use the swirl killer on the decals or should I tape them off to avoid damaging them?
Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

Thank you guys! Hoping to spend a good amount of my taxes to get everything I will ever need! I am sure you guys will see more of me on here!

Hey guys,
I recently purchased a swirl killer and have been using it to correct all the imperfections on my paint. As I was using the buffing pads, I started to notice small metal flakes coming from the backing plate. I looked at the backing plate and noticed that the bolt is loose. I have tried to tighten it but I can't seem to keep the shaft from moving. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!
