Looks good for an old 2002. Too bad it’s out in the cold for the winter.

My 2 are in my heated garage.

Buying a new house soon... garage is on my

list!

First maintence wash on the hatch since PS application. Oh my. Misting the panels while drying works like a charm and the results are unreal!

Was a week of rain here and car was covered in crud and mud etc. Cleaned up beautifuly.

Guess since you put the stock tires on it for winter you aren't too concerned about flatspotting the rubber.  I put 1inch Styrofoam insulation under my tires to help prevent dry rot and flatspotting.   The worst part of living in our cold Ontario climate.. winter storage of the toys. 

Ya I just pump them to 40 on stock tires/rims so they are storage/burnout tires hehe

I’m in this for an answer too as that was my plan. So CPW then PS? Would you use G&G or booster as a topper for that combo?

Applied rest of my CG jetseal to my new work demo. See what holds up better through a Canadian winter. A good test. 

With a busy few weeks ahead I stored her early. 

Removed z06 wheels and install stockers 

Strip wash

PS

h2o guard and gloss

go into barn and let it rest

shes ok for 16 year old Pontiac paint 

Thanks all! Car was bought April 2017 and has 55,000km already.  Not bad for highway driven car. All about how you care for something. 

Have a busy month ahead so today I prepped her Civic. Tomorrow I will be doing Trans-Am for storage again due to a busy month ahead I won’t be driving it so will store it early (pics of that to come)

Today I :

-Strip wash to remove all other CG sealants and waxes

-Clayed

-Paint Sealant

-H20 Guard and gloss

Most impressed with depth of paint, ease of use, smell (so good). Very happy to have made the switch.

Either way, you cant go wrong. G&G is one of my favorite products that Adams makes! I went with the CPW topped with Boost because the hydrophobic properties that come from the silica based products are just amazing! I actually had Americana topped with G&G initially and it looked great! Just wanted to change it up... Ceramic Boost is actually the very first product of Adams I ever tried, and after that started my whole Adams addiction! This pic below is Americana with H20 G&G every 3rd or 4th wash, this was BEFORE I did any paint correction.

Very nice!

I use Ceramic Wax on my daily driver and use Detail Spray all the time. No issues whatsoever.  Put it on in April, still sheeting water. And I use DS every wash for drying.   Fantastic results. 

DS it is  

No need for G&G obviously as the Booster would replace that product in this case.

Hello!

Question :

If using :

-Liquid Paint Sealant

-Ceramic Paste Wax

-Ceramic Boost

Could I use the Spray Detailer over to remove light dust etc, or would you recommend any of the water less washes over this?

Welcome! Beautiful rides! Your not gonna regret the switch. As far as the waxes, I am running paint sealant topped with Ceramic Paste Wax and Boost on top of that. I can tell you the ceramic paste wax will also make that black really purdy. The ceramic wax is supposed to have a longer life span than regular carnuba based wax, and topping it with ceramic boost will extend that life as well. Also patriot with G&G will work beautifully as well, its really just a personal preference. 

I'm already happy with my choice and I havent gotten anything yet lol

I am torn between Patriot and GG or Ceramic and Boost.. For the price and amount of time I spend cleaning and detailing I think Patriot and GG may be my better choice

Welcome Bob!

Thanks Chris.

Already liking the community more then the CG, I was sick of the 100 products that do the same thing with different smells and colours, all for marketing hype. Up here in Canada the local "Detail Garage" never had any stock and took months to get products, same with the online store. So far happy with Adams, cant wait to try out my new goodies

Your plan looks solid Bob. 

If it was me, I would wait until the next wash to add the H2O G&G, but I am not fighting the weather like you may be.  I LOVE applying G&G as a step during a Rinseless wash - wash a panel, spritz G&G, spread with a damp towel, then remove any remaining moisture with a Waterless Wash towel.  Also I recommend upgrading the G&G sprayer to the one that comes on the Adam's 32 oz Premium Dilution bottle (or a similar Tolco spray head), as it allows you to apply with a finer mist.

Thanks buddy, Ill get one on my next order.

Welcome Bob! 

Lots of good information from Chris.

 

 

Applying Brilliant Glaze and topping it with Americana will make that black paint really pop!

Thanks buddy.

I hope so

Hello all,

Just making sure I got the right process here.

-Wifes 2017 Civic Sport Touring Hatchback-

Vehicle has lots of Chemical Guys Jetseal/Glaze on it since new. I am since not impressed with there availability of products, so I have placed an order of Adams :). Didnt order a ton as summer is winding down here.

My plan is :

-Strip wash to remove any CG products

-Claybar

-1 Coat of Adams Liquid Paint Sealant

-Let dry for an hour and using a moist and a dry microfiber apply H20 Gloss and Guard

For winter washes I will take a bucket to coin-op and wash/dry and every other wash apply GG due to heavy salt/bad roads we get up here in Canada.

I will use the rest of my pH Neutral CG Black light wash for winter then stock up on a full Adams Arsenal 

Attached is her vehicle. Car was bought new April 2017, current has 53,000KM - lots of highway driving, for black Honda paint, shes still looking like new

Thanks for the tips! 

I will plan on a Wash, clay, 1 coat of Paint Sealant then I will use a moist microfibre to apply H20 GG and buff it off :)

I think of summer I will use PS, Glaze and Americana paste wax. Id ceramic coat, but I like to polish and tinker lol.

It's my 7th Fbody, love these things.

Hey all. 

Coming from a heavy Chemical guys arsenal I got tired of all the duplicate products and marketing. The local store never had stock so I just today placed an order for a winter product haul of Adams. 

I still  have a lot of CG black light soap so I’ll use that up before ordering any of Adams. 

Few questions.

1.I plan on strip washing wife’s 2017 Civic Hatch, then claybarring. After that I plan on two coats of Adams LPS. An hour after last coat would it be ok to apply the H2O gloss and guard or should I wait until first wash? 

2. For a summer order, if I use the Ceramic paste wax and ceramic boost intermittently for top up would you suggest Wash and wax soap or Ultra foam soap?

2a. If I decided to use patriot wax, what soap again for this. 

2b. Would h2o gloss and guard still be ok to use with ceramic paste wax or should I stick fully with the ceramic boost?

Look forward to sealing up the wife’s Hatch before winter and my TA before storage with my new products! 

Ive included a few pics of the two cars to be cleaned
