Colorado_evo

Yeah, not sweating it. Only did this because I already planned doing the paint correction in the near future so the paint is going to be absolutely bare the next go around. Just gotta wait to get this GTR out of my garage so I have more room to polish my evo. On this go around i felt like bg before ps would be my best bet on making it look as great as it can be until i do the paint correction and I'm completely satisfied with the results.

Many other people have done it, and I wanted to try it as well. It's only paint sealant and not ceramic coating. Adam's video also says it's ok to do. I know it wont last as long but I'm supplementing it with the h20 guatd and gloss. I also plan to do paint correction next month and if I have enough money ill get the ceramic coating kit to protect it. If not I'll do paint sealant on bare paint at that time. Reason why I did BG before PS is I have some minor swirling I was trying to fill in. This isnt a long term solution and people have already chimed in that it will last long enough until I do the paint correction.

What GT-R ??? Lol, just kidding. It's in the process of being turbo swapped, electronics updated, upgrade fuel system and ecu upgrade. Really wish it was mine but unfortunately not. It's my buddy and I'm lending him a garage spot while he gets it done. I really love how it looks right now. Dont think I'll need to add BG unless I go to a show or something. And thanks for advising me to get this H20 guard and gloss. I love it

It's been around 2 weeks since I applied brilliant glaze and paint sealant on top of it. First wash since then, I've driven it through rain and 2 dirt roads. It's been raining every other day, so no chance to wash it. It cleared up today enough to wash it, and dry it. I was pretty impressed with the shine from BG and PS.l and didnt expect it could get much better than that. Well, long story short I pulled it in to the garage after the wash and dry and applied h20 guard and gloss and I'm blown away once again. It made the paint glossier than I could imagine and made the black trim darker. The car looks better than brand new. What can I or should I put on top of the h20 guard and gloss?

Oh man....Ouch...I'm planning on doing ceramic coating after I get a polisher and yeah, I was under the impression that nothing but a fresh flawless polished clear goes under CC.

Probably wont be for awhile till I go to Denver again. Was only there to drop off and pick up my wife from the airport. Denver is an hour away so would be a waste just to go to Adam's polishes to save a little bit of money as I'd spend more in fuel. But think I'm gonna go next month to pick up the swirl killer. Maybe I'll just hold off on the sprayer bottle till I go for the swirl killer.? Think I could probably get a really good deal on everything in person. Got about 15 bucks off over what's on the website plus whatever shipping would be on just the detail spray and guard and gloss.

That's why I bought another one. I used alot of my first bottle on the claybar and wish I hadn't. but I was in Denver so I thought why not just buy another bottle. They have about 9 more on the shelf. And If i remember correctly, I should only use the guard and gloss only every couple of weeks right? And from reading the bottle. It looks like a little goes a long way.

Well guys, just for back from Denver. Stopped by Adam's again and picked up some more detail spray and some h20 guard and gloss. Couldn't help myself lol?‍♂️ My wife also told me she would get me a swirl killer for our anniversary next month ?

So now that I actually took it out I am even more impressed, .....i'm on the way to pick up my wife at the airport Theres an added depth in the paint that I never knew existed and a gloss I never had. The paint was shiny before but not like this. And the headlights and tails ate popping now. The car just looks more high end to me now. .....i'm hooked

Well, I ended up getting another applicator, washed, clayed, washed again, brilliant glazed, and then paint sealant. Very pleased with the results. I know it's not as good as if I polished the car, but I'll do that when I get a swirl killer. Its shining better than it was, and it already looked good before, but now it feels like glass.

I really only want to use the BG first is for the filling properties, just to hold me off till I can buy a swirl killer to polish the paint.

I dont. Seems like I'm in a bind lol. Well, might have to hold off on the process till I can order some more applicators. I messed up on that one and didnt even think of it.

Have some microfibers from the oriellys part store. i know not the greatest but I'm slowly trying to convert to higher quality better stuff. I also have the edgeless microfibers and a great white drying towel which I got in my mystery bucket.

Yes, they are very helpful at the showroom. Was beyond impressed and above any of my expectations. Looks like Adam's is going to be a permanent stop when I visit Denver. Now a question, so I didnt realize this until I got home and I should have known better, but do i absolutely need an applicator to apply the BG or PS because i only left with one. I can order another one from the site, but was wondering if it would be alright if I applied it with a microfiber towel since I completely forgot I needed 2 applicators. Also the paint sealant says to use a black applicator but cant find it anywhere on the site. The only black applicator I could find was the one for tires and dont think it would work for paint.

Ok guys, so just finished dropping my wife off at DIA and dropped by Adam's Polishes showroom. I am super impressed by their enthusiasm, helpfullness and customer support. I walked in and the guy behind the glass office walked out and greeted me, not sure who he was but I'm guessing someone higher up, then he he went out of his way and went to the back to make sure someone was there to help me. He greeted me, asked what I needed help with and i just told him I was looking to get some BG and some PS, he said no problem and even threw in a free red hex applicator, and then I noticed that they had some USA Limited edition spray on the shelf and asked him how much it was, he told me he could sell it to me for 10 bucks. So he totaled it to 50 bucks, not sure if that's just from the top of his head or just a round number to help me out but seemed like a great deal already as it was saving me money and shipping. So I tell him I'm going to pay 37 in cash and the rest on the card, and when I hand him the 37 he told me I was good to go and not to worry about the rest. I am absolutely floored and blown away. I'm I'm going to be an Adam's customer for life on the service alone. So friendly, and the store front guy seemed like he wanted to be there and was happy. It's something I've never experienced.

Alright, so if I have this right, brilliant glaze, paint sealant, and reup with h20 guard and gloss, and claybar. Then every 6ish months do a new layer of brilliant glaze topped off with paint sealant. Sounds like a killer plan, thank you Edit:of course claybar before the first brilliant glaze and paint sealant I'm guessing.

Sounds awesome lol I'm guessing I would be fine with just using the BG and Paint sealant from the sounds of it and just layering it as much as I want with BG like every week or so and every so often with the paint sealant for the paint protection. Or maybe the ceramic boost would be nice on top of the paint sealant, havent really even thought of that. Thanks for the tips and advice. I'm loving this community already and glad I chose Adam's polishes for the community alone.

That looks great Nick, do you use paint sealant on top of that? If all I have to do Is reup protection with the paint sealant I'm fine with that. How often do you do so. Thank you

When you did it yourself, how long did the PS last and did you still get any filling properties from the BG? Also what's considered minor imperfections? Does that mean very unsociable swirls that can only be seen in certain light, because that's what I have right now. I plan on doing a paint correction when I can spare the extra money on a DA polisher and product but want something to make the paint look as nice as possible In the meantime if that's understandable. Edit:or if you or anybody have any other suggestions I'd be welcome to hear it as well. Thank you very much

For people who have used both as a combo. I plan on picking both of these up tomorrow while I'm in Denver tomorrow. I want to know about the brilliant glaze, the product description says fills minor imperfections, what is considered minor and also, when stacking paint sealant on top of the brilliant glaze do I have to wait a certain period of time to do so or can i do it immediately? My other question is when layering the product, will I still get the "filling" properties from the BG or will it be effected to any degree by the PS? Thank you in adance. Edit: I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is in the correct section, I also tried the search feature and came up empty so sorry if this has been asked and answered already. thank you.

Also. I'm going to reread that article to go over the layer. Edit: So I read the layering section and I read about the BG, and it says it fills minor imperfections so that's good. Just wondering if layer the PS on top of the BG effects those filling properties. Thank you

Would you think it would give better results if I used brilliant glaze before the paint sealant? Would it help hide very minor defects in the paint? Another question is would I have to wait for the glaze or paint sealant to setup before going to the next layer of product? Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it. I'm headed to Denver tomorrow to drop my wife off at the airport so I think I'm going to stop by Adam's and pick up what I need. Also thank you for the tips on care with a white car. The car already looks great but I want it to stand out even more.

H20 guard and gloss? And paint sealant? I think lol Edit:you posted right before I did. Thank you for the insight. Would you do anything different as far as application when stacking products?

I wish I knew any of your acronyms lol. Can you help me out. I'm gonna give the faq a read though. Thank you.

That sounds awesome. I didnt realize you could stack wax on top of the brilliant glaze. I was under the impression that the glaze was only for show cars when you needed that extra shine and pop, but wouldn't last long. That's good to know and glad I asked.
