  1. I just received my replacement pro series pressure washer today and got it all connected and it was running great. I ordered the MTM Hydro canon last year on this site for another pressure washer and when I attached it to that previous pressure washer, it locked up and was a pain to get free. Thought maybe it was not enough pressure. Skip forward to today and I connected the foam canon again thinking I have enough pressure now. As soon as I tried to foam the car, the pro series pressure washer locked up and now I can't get the nozzle off cause it's under pressure. Went ahead and drained all the water to relieve some pressure but still did not work. I may have to unscrew the foam canon where the pipe tape is just to get it off, but wondering if there are other ways to relieve the pressure with this pro series pressure washer? This is just my luck, should've just kept it off and washed it the 2 bucket way until I got a new foam canon.
  2. I don’t think you need to increase hand speed or heavy buffing when removing the coating. Once the coating starts to rainbow just wipe it off, if the coating spreads just keep wiping till it’s gone. Don’t need to apply any force. And go with the said instructions above with changing applicators and towels between panels and take your time, if it take 6 hours then it takes that long. Have fun with the coating.
  3. Lol you gotta try it out, leaves a beautiful streak on the glass it’s the new trend. Tire shine on the tires and glass cleaner, glass sealent, and glass boost for the windows.
  4. Want to give a quick update, polished the unleveled that were seen in the pictures. Recoat the areas with the paint coating and now those areas look great, no unwanted levels this time around. Going to give it another 24hrs to cure them add the boost tomorrow afternoon. The light polish took it right off which was good. Just added the glass sealant and boost boost to my windows and it looks gorgeous, now finishing up with the tire shine and I’m done for today.
  5. Here are some pics of the coating not being leveled that need to be buffed out and redone. The prep coating did help with most of the streaks and it does look nice. Anyone looking to do there own ceramic coating, please watch some videos on how to properly apply it.
  6. That would be a good idea, probably do a small area on the trunk as a test and go from there. Still at work though so pics are eventually going to come just not till later today.
  7. That could've been the issue as well, maybe i'll go over the panels again with a spray or two make it less noticeable for the time being lol
  8. Thanks for the help, went to autogeek and see a good selections of suede applicators and towels, also going to see if the rag company has any suede towels or applicators.
  9. Half of the bottle is left, it's hard to tell since it's the bottle is dark. Only enough to lightly coat the applicator. Been looking at getting the suede applicator and towels for round 2 of the coating. So next time will be better prepared. Will the coating prep spray still be a good source for next time or try something different?
  10. Agreed, polishing won't be the issue, just time consuming. All the prep was properly done, took 3 days cause of time constraint to fully strip wash, clay, and polish the car along with some delays cause of products being delivered. Next coat though will be done right and with the proper equipment. I do polishing on the side for other customers and the ceramic is a test and will not do it on other vehicles until I get the method down. Pics will be posted later this even cause at work right now.
  11. Sounds like a polish and recoat is in the works when the weather gets a little warmer. First time is always the worse, learn from mistakes and try again. At least I don't have to worry about polishing again, probably can skip that step and go right into prep and then ceramic.
  12. Please move this to the exterior protections & enhancement. Clicked the wrong topic
  13. What a great first post lol New member on the forum but been using Adams products for the past few years, awesome products. Received the ceramic paint coating kit over the holidays and was able to finally apply it this past weekend. Although it was 30 degrees outside, the car was inside and temp was between 75-80 with the heat jet going. The car is a Black 2011 Camaro 2SS. Strip washed the car, even added a little APC to really get rid of any wax that was left on the car. Clay bared each panel while washing. After the wash, performed a 2 stage polish to get rid of any imperfections that resembled a swirl or light scratch (3M black and blue polish) Sprayed the coating prep on the car to get rid of any dust that was on the car. After spraying the prep, add the paint coating to the car gently and evenly throughout the car and waited the desired time before wiping off with the microfiber towel, maybe a little longer so I can see the rainbow come in. Used both pads provided so one was for the front and back with the other was for the sides of the car. Let is cure for 24hrs and then added the ceramic boost. Took some pics of the car and it looked beautiful out in the sun and cool weather and only saw a couple spots i would have to polish and recoat, no biggie. Brought the car out yesterday since it was beautiful and drove her around for a few miles. When I got out of the car, I saw streaks everywhere on the paint. It looks like that someone just smeared oil all over the car and it just look hideous. Once i get home I will take a couple pics of the outcome. Have no idea what I did wrong in the process and this was my first go around with the ceramic coat, so a lot of lessons have been learned. Maybe didn't let the ceramic rainbow enough or too late. Maybe added the ceramic boost earlier than I should. Either way it looks like the whole car needs to be repolished since it's been a week since the cure. Used waterless wash, detail spray and ceramic boost to see if I can get rid of the streaks but it looks like it just made it worse. So when I get home today, will try a fine polish (3M blue polish) and see if the streak will be gone, will try it on the top of the trunk for testing, Any advice would be welcomed. Buffing and polishing I am good at, it just the ceramic coat.
