Recently purchased this and now I’m looking for a way to reach the top to clean and coat it? It’s 8ft high and I need to get total access to the top for coating. Any Pro Detailers have a idea of what kinda ladder or platform I can get to accomplish this?

Ok ....make one and put the word graphene on it then haha. Just checking in once and a while on this. Kinda getting use to pulling the machine off the wall and rolling it around instead of just having a longer hose. No worries and Happy Holidays! 

Still waiting and hoping. Sure would be nice not to have to take my cannon off the wall mount anymore. Would love to join two hoses together

Just a quick update: I spoke to Phil and he's going to talk to our manufacturer to see if they would manufacture a coupler for us! 

Anymore word on this Dan? I appreciate it ..... just wondering if it is still a possibility 

Great! Hope it comes out. I’ll need two if they do 

Great idea, I’ll try it today as I am gonna be using the blaster and have a pool hose handy. Thanks!

@NuNu Here's a method to couple two vacuum or blower hoses, keeping in mind that with an extended length the airflow will be reduced as Dan point out.

 

Get a PCV straight connector that your hose will fit on the outside of.  Make sure the size is as close as possible and if needed you can use some warmth to get the hose to expand or stretch a tiny amount, but don't force it as they will will tear or split.    As for getting it airtight, use plastic hose clamps as the metal ones will cut into the hose and eventually cause it to rip (no need to ask me how I know).

 

As an added sealant you can run a bead of bathtub calk where the two hoses butt against each other and you should be set for multiple years.

I guess making something work is a option. I’d just like it if I could say remove the flat nozzle off the end of the hose then install another small extension hose then put the nozzle back on. You get what I’m saying? If there was a easy coupler I could slap the hose on and off when needed and not have to store it on the hose hanger that is made of the blaster mount. I’m like 10ft short of what I need so I guess if not a coupler a 40ft hose option would be nice as well.

Just wondering if Adam's has ever thought of making a coupler to put two of the air cannon hoses together? I have 3 air cannons mounted to the wall and I  don't really like taking them down but Im always just a tad short on the hose and could just make it to where I wanted to be with just a little bit more hose. If there was a coupler that we could join two hoses together so I could add a 16ft hose to the 30ft hose it would be great! Adding tow 30ft hoses together would be cool as well. 

Is 16oz hand sanitizer selling well? Or is it coming to  end of production by Adam's? I can't ever seem to catch it in stock. I see the price has drastically been cut which may be the reason I can't seem to catch it in stock. We use it at our Towing Company so we go through it regularly. Ordered some Gallons this morning but all the drivers really like the 16oz size 

Yea didn't even think of the BOGO sale and still adjusting to the Covid thing. You guys are doing the best you can and are still one of the BEST companies I have ever dealt with concerning online purchases

@RayS has you covered above. Clean thoroughly, allow to dry, and when you apply it, use a microfiber applicator pad to level it, and let it cure for 4 hours minimum. You'll love the results!

Truth! They will clean so easily after being coated

Thought you only wanted to polish to fix imperfections? There is some orange peel in the paint but no swirls or anything. I really wanted to polish but since it was new I was a little scared since the car was so expensive. I did all of this coating about 2 years ago and have been working on my polishing skills on my truck and other things (See the Craftsman Cabinet doors below. I was just under the impression that unless it had flaws polish wouldn’t do much, guess I need to polish out the orange peel? 

Oops sorry about the door panel pic. I did use the new interior ceramic on it though

HI Jonathan,

What steps did you do between Claying the car and putting the Ceramic Coating on it?   What was your prep for stripping the car, iron remover, polishing, etc.?  Did you use Surface Prep before you put on the Ceramic Coating?  The products put on the vehicle after the preparation can only provide benefit to a completely prepared vehicle.   

 

As for the layering of the products, in my opinion you added too many items and that in itself can lead to a less than optimal finish. 

I did strip and clay it but didn’t do any polishing. I actually prefer a little orange peel to a finish. I clayed then strip washed and clayed again. The next day I used surface prep before applying ceramic coating. I let it cure 2 days and looked for missed spots or anything that I may have not removed. I then did the spray ceramic letting it cure between each coat 2 days. I then applied ceramic paste wax. I then washed and used air cannon to dry before putting bead maker as the final coat. I now do my washes with ceramic wash and every so often with wash and wax. I do put a coat of bead maker on after every wash. I thought when doing it I might be applying to much product but I did the same on my Escalade and it worked well but it’s Satin Steel I think (Grey) 

Dewalt 20v I keep behind the seat of my wrecker. I can't stand dirt around my feet. It isn't the strongest in the world but I use it daily keeping the sand off of the WeatherTecs and I have to charge it or slap a new battery pack in about once a month 

Must have sold very quickly. Im not able to locate it on Amazon 

Cadillac CTSv that has been Clay Barred,Ceramic Coated, then Spray Ceramic Coated, then Ceramic Waxed and I put some BeadMaker on it but it still won't pop like I think it should. Did I apply to many products? It beads water like crazy but I just can't get that shine like I want it. Any ideas? I can't get above a 98.6 on a shine meter either? I just want to crack 100 on it and I would settle 

I keep finding more and more uses for CS3. It works great on the cough walls (Covid 19 plexiglass shields at work) iPhones iPads .....I spray it on about everything 

Best place to be is here .....if Im not out rubbing on something. Welcome to the forum 

Sure are! Ordered Friday and shipped out on Monday .....that is faster then before Covid19 haha. Thanks for all that you guys did and are doing 

Gonna sound dumb probably but still learning all the abbraviations .....what is HGG?

I would say Guard & Gloss. Goes on the same, removes the same, I think it lasts longer. 

That is the one thing I haven't tried yet. I do have a gallon but haven't used it because I know you spray it on and wipe it off during the drying stage. I use the air cannon for drying so that is probably why I haven't really tried that way yet. You can or I have seen that there is a dry method to applying it as well so I guess I need to study up on that

I am a 99% percent Adam’s user but I always end up topping off and finishing with Bead Maker. I asked almost a year ago if Adam’s was working on a Bead Maker type product and was told by a Adam’s guy on here or somewhere to be patience that it was coming. Anyone aware of a Adam’s product that will give me the slickness of Bead Maker? I have tried every combination and haven’t been able to achieve it. I know Bead Makers durability is next to nothing but once again I love the slickness. Anyone used a technique or combination of Adam’s to get similar results as Bead Maker? Thanks in advance 

Did mine on my CTSv about a year ago with the wheel ceramic coating and its holding up great!
