This is good. Should make one for "maintaining" or "taking care of" a ceramic coating. 

I tried out my foam gun the other day. I loved how convenient it was to use as opposed to the pressure washer. I don't like using my pressure washer to clean wheels. I really like the hose much more. The quick disconnect is such a great feature. Don't have to swap anything like the foam cannon. My car is really well maintained and I still like a layer of foam for lubricity so the foam gun works wonders. The foam cannon definitely makes much thicker foam though. 

Have Adams old coating on th car that I applied in September 2017. Decontaminated it with iron remover and light clay. Then I applied Ceramic paste wax two days ago. Topped it all off the next day with Ceramic Boost. The car is really “wet” and is a mirror. Really happy with the shine and ease of application of all three of these products. Prep work is definitely key!

Welcome to the forums! Great stuff here and great people 

Nice to meet you and nice ride there! People here are extremely helpful so don't be afraid to ask.

Happy to have you! Drop a Pic of your ride! 

What's your favorite product to use out of your Adam's arsenal? 

Jeremy

I just can't wait to put this on top of my Adam's coating. 

Those of you with both a foam gun and foam cannon, do you find yourself using one over the other depending on the situation?

If I don't have a lot of time ahead of me it's a pain getting out the pressure washer, so I picked up a foam gun. Hopefully won't see negative results for not using a pressure washer to rinse the car with when I decide to not pull it out... 

Welcome! You won't be disappointed with Adam's coating. Easy to apply and incredible shine. 

Just Adam's cockpit brush and utility towel! 

@mc2hill That's a really good idea! Thank you for sharing that. I feel silly when I wash my paint with RW but then have dirty wheels. ?

This Adam's product probably impressed me the most. These seats are in a 2007 honda civic that was neglected pretty badly. Worked on the drivers seat last night and the results were outstanding. Probably needs a steamer to get those last darker stains out but this is great for me for the time, price and effort invested. Left is before. Right is after.

Nice out come!  I use Rinseless Washes about 80% of the time (I detail several pre-war cars, and they never see a hose), and can do our Accord in 20 minutes, including the wheels.

I haven't tried on the wheels yet! I need to get some dedicated towels for this purpose because they'll probably catch some wheel crud I don't want contaminating my other towels with. 

Thank you everybody!! ?

Hey all, 

Just wanted to share some before and after of a neighbor's vehicle I did.the wheels were in horrible condition. My method for doing wheels is as follows.

I spray the wheel with a heavy stream of water. I then foam the wheels with IK foam sprayer.(3oz of wheel cleaner and the rest with water). 

I let that sit for a little bit, don't let it dry. While that sits I pull out the tire and rubber cleaner and spray the tire and wheel well if it has a plastic liner. Using a tire brush I'll scrub the tire's sidewall to work in the product. I'll then pull out one of my larger wheel woolies and clean the rest of the tire. 

I'll then use my wheel woolies and wheel wash mitt as well as car shampoo and a couple sprays of wheel cleaner to get in the barrel, spokes, center cap, lug nuts... 

I rinse everything off then apply H2O Guard n Gloss. On my personal vehicle, I skip this step because they are ceramic coated. 

What about you guys? What is your process? 

Just wanted to show the before and after of using Rinseless Wash. Car is ceramic coated as well. 

Process if very simple and much better than pulling out all the buckets for a wash after a heavy rain shower. Also better than using half a bottle of Waterless Wash to do the whole car.

What color was the car?  When was it last decontaminated?  There’s a lot of variables in there that would affect how much reaction there is. 

It was a blue car. Probably hadn't been decontaminated in two years. It was also pretty hot despite being in the shade. I got it decontaminated with iron remover and clay bar though before locking it up with paint Sealant.

Welcome to the forums, nice shine you have on that stang. 

Thank you so much ! I put a lot of pride in her. Can't drive it in the winter so I pretty much DD it in the summer making it sometimes hard to maintain that shine it had on that day after a fresh detail.

Not to hijack this thread, but I applied this on a friend's car the other day. I was in the shade, rinsed the vehicle thoroughly then applied iron remover all over the car. I didn't notice anything turning purple but as I rinsed the car, there seamed to be purple falling off of the car. So it definitely seemed the product had worked but I didn't see the car turn purple...

Got some of this the other week. Can't wait to try it out on my ceramic coated car. Going to decontaminate it with iron remover and light clay bar then apply this for crazy shine hopefully.

Hello Team Adam's Polishes and all Adam's Forums members. Happy to be a part of the community. I've been using Adam's Polishes for about a year now. I started out with their older ceramic paint coating kit and wheel coating kit. I drive a 2017 Mustang GT and use exclusively Adam's products on it. I'd consider myself one of those weekend warriors who loves detailing his car but I'm slowly moving towards a part time business. I've been doing friends and family members cars and they are amazed by the results and work. Again, thanks for having me and I look forward to a wonderful community experience here on the Adam's Polishes Forums.
