    Adam’s Ceramic Waterless Wash

    in Testimonials

    Posted · Edited by SouthernSteve

    Just wanted to share some pics with the good members here plus any lurkers who may be on the fence about the Ceramic Waterless Wash.  

    we finally started getting rain, yesterday, after 6 weeks of bone dry weather with temps near 100 at times.  The Subaru this morning, untouched, as it sits.  Coming home last night, we hit a downpour for about10 miles.  To reiterate, long term base coating, three applications of the Ceramic WW , one time used a s a Rinseless wash.  Car was traditional washed last week.   

    Hopefully , you can tell by the pics, on how great a job it did with rejecting the vast amounts of precip and Environmental contamination.  In the one pic, you can see the dirt accumulation along the rocker panels and lower doors but  that’s about it.  Keep in mind, no rain in 6 weeks and high temps...

    Ive been Detailing 30 years and Adams Ceramic and have tried many products.  This is one of my all- time favorites...

    I had an AWD Subaru Forester. Living in Central Florida, I found very little use for it. But no I didn't even ask.

    Sorry, I meant to put “me” in between had and looking.  I researched it and it doesn’t.  We are looking to relocate to eastern TN plus we go visit my family up north in December.  

     

    Good Luck with the Avalon!

    Okay, NO MORE Yellow Subaru. Went and got me a new 2020 Toyota Avalon Hybrid. I didn't do anything to the interior except TRY to clean the windows. 

     

    On Sunday: After getting some great help from @Nickfire20

    • I used a whole bottle of Iron Remover and there was more fallout than I ever imagined for a new car.

    • I had a piece of a bottle of Wheel Cleaner which was just enough for all four wheels
    • Then I rinsed and dried the entire car
    • I then used the Adam's White Fine Grade Clay Bar with DS and clayed the complete car. After I was done, I remembered I forgot to clay the wheels. Maybe next time
    • I put maybe 3 ounces of Car Shampoo and 3 ounces of Eco All Purpose Cleaner in the Foam Cannon and the Wash Bucket
    • I foamed the entire car, there was a lot of foam. And I used the mit and washed the entire car and then rinsed with the power washer
    • I used my blower and dried the car. There wasn't enough left to towel dry but I drug it over everything anyway
    • I then parked it in the garage while this old man went in and got him some Air Conditioning. I figured I'd let both me and the car cool down a bit as the sun was hitting the trunk and back window
    • After an hour or two I went out into the garage and applied the Surface Prep spray to the entire car
    • Once that was complete I applied the Ceramic Spray Coating and let it cure overnight

    Monday (Today):

    • Got up early this morning and applied the Ceramic Boost
    • Pulled the car out of the garage and applied the Tire Shine
    • I noticed there were at least a million streaks on the exterior of the glass that I didn't see yesterday after applying the Ceramic Spray Coating. I assumed it was from the Ceramic Boost I applied today. After going onto the Forum asking for help, it was suggested to try Ceramic Waterless Wash. I'm happy to say, IT WORKED!!

     

    This being my very first time to do anything other than run it through the chemical tunnel, I have to say, it looks pretty darn good for a rookie. THANKS TO EVERYONE who guided me. I can't begin to thank everyone but just to give a shout out to a few: @falcaineer @Nickfire20 @mc2hill @Rich @SouthernSteve and a Host of Others.

    With your new car purchase, Donald, you had looking to see if the Avalon came in AWD.  It’s beautiful!  Kudos for a job well done...👍

    It sure does cost a lot to make that switch over to Ceramics.  I'am in the process right now I hope it will be worth it.  

     

    Hi Ryan,

     

    FWIW,

     

    my wife’s car pictured above is a 2013 Impreza.  The car has gone from Northeast Winters to  the hot Southern sun the last year and a half.

    I coated the car right from the word go.  First coating I did lasted about 3 and a half years before I re did it.  I’ve just started using Adams again but the biggest reason for success is Proper Maintenance.  

    The ceramic market has exploded and some of the claims from the various companies are crazy, including scratch-proof...😱  

     

    My truck is also coated and I have done coatings for others, once I determine their dedication to Proper Maintenance Practices.  When done correctly, IMO, the longevity and benefits are worth the extra expense.  

    Hopefully, you will see that too. 👍
