  1.  I'm really liking the new formula. I use it on non coated vehicles and it does seem to go on and off a little easier. Less streaky for sure. Far fewer spots I have to go back over with this new formula. 

     

     The third pull "snot" effect has not changed but that is easily resolved with a better bottle/sprayer. I wish Adam's would consider shipping H2O with an "improved" sprayer if possible for those who don't know how much a switch improves application. 

  2.  My personal opinion is that H2O and CB don't play nice with SOME other product that may still be on the vehicle. 

     

     When I first started using H2O I had a very similar experience. Just streaked and laid on the surface like snot. After complete strip and then laying down lps the H2O goes on smooth as silk and flashes right off. My take away was that the wax from another company was what initially caused the weird reaction. 

     

     Have you taken your vehicle to a pay and spray or no touch auto wash recently? I think some of their "wax" and soaps can cause havoc with certain products. 

  3.  The RW starter kit is one of the best deals on the Adams site imo. 

     

     5 DS towels

     1 16 oz rw

     1 bucket with seal lid

     1 dilution bottle with a great spray nozzle

     

     Anytime I want to order any DS towels I just get myself one of these kits. Love the dilution bottle for H2O GG, APC diluted and others also love the RW for all kinds of things...door jambs,under hood and so on. And who can't use an extra bucket. 

     

     Welcome to the forum!

  4.  Due to the nature of my work I've averaged between 70-80,000 miles per year for the last 23 years. I learned long ago the huge value in a dependable old DD. I get more excited finding a low mileage older gem like a crown Vic that some grandmother is letting go of than I do when I buy a new car 😃

     

     This winter I'll drive a 2003 Expedition while my 18 Silverado sits nice and clean in the garage out of the salt. DAMN salt!

  5.  I'm sorry I'm new to ceramic coating and still debating whether I want to go that route. But. 

     

     Are You applying three coats of ceramic on the paint? Is that typical for ceramic applications? At what point is the diminishing returns? Third coat? Fourth coat?

     Does the second coat apply easier or more difficult than the first?

     

     Sorry for all the questions just curious. Thanks

    Kind of going off the same idea of throwing miscellaneous stuff in boxes has anyone else been missing out on the mints? any idea why they arent in any packages? 

     

     My guess is that it is getting too expensive and we are being weened off our free mints. Adam's took on outside investors over the last year and that's the kind of bottom line expense that gets scrutinized. 

     I hope I'm wrong and it's a simple mint shortage. I have a half full jar and want to fill it. But I haven't gotten a mint for at least  the last ten orders. 

     No biggie. It was a nice little bonus ?

  7.  It depends on what year and finish your JD tractors have. Some of them, the more recent years are molded in color with a clear coat finish. These can be cleaned and waxed and even machine polished using same products as a clear coated car. 

     Older years with the molded in plastic color hoods are not clear coated. They are best polished with products designed for plastic or plexiglass polishing. I've had great luck using  Novus brand polish. Steps one and two usually do the trick.  You can usually find Novus products at your local Harley Davidson dealer. They use it for the plexiglass windscreens. Makes them look new again ?

     

     If you are talking the real old stuff as in painted metal. If it's a factory finish still. Then just treat it like you would any single stage paint.
