  1. Unfortunately, I followed the instructions on the bottle, namely "Generously spray". Adams has confirmed that the labelling/instructions are being changed but that's too little too late for me. Two months after my original post and I'm still struggling to remove the smears. Seeing as the underlying ceramic coating was only applied at the end of December I really don't want to resort to polishing. I thought about trying some panel wipe over the weekend as that's literally the last thing I haven't tried.
  2. Cheers Dan, you probably realise this already but in case not I was the guy you were conversing with directly via email. Using a microfiber block and spraying ACB 2.0 directly onto that I can remove the streaks albeit in small 6" x 6" sections at a time. Intensive, time consuming and monotonous but it seems to do the trick.
  3. Thanks Shane. I'll try and rectify it on Tuesday and report back.
  4. Not sure how well the photos will show up. Only had my phone on me, Can use DSLR later if necessary.
  5. Thanks for the input. I'll take some photos tomorrow when the light is better and update the thread.
  6. I think that's what it boils down to. Too much. However, I'm a bit stuck now as the paintwork looks awful in certain light. Do I just put up with it and wait until x amount of washes later and re-apply properly or is there something I can do in the meantime?
  7. That's exactly what I did. I had two 600GSM edgeless buffing cloths, used one to apply ACB and one to buff it off doing a panel, or a section of a panel for larger areas (roof, bonnet) at a time.
  8. It says can be used on glass and there's a lot number printed on the bottle, guess that confirms it's 2.0 I must have used too much in that case. Maybe "generously" isn't the best word to use on the instructions.
  9. If life were that simple. A, I'm in the UK. I can only find one place that sells it. B, Their website is as reliable as a chocolate teapot (It's not even loading right now) C, I've waited three weeks for a reply to two emails trying to order it. So yeah, my first plan was to use Premier but due to the aforementioned, I decided to try ACB 2.0 instead.
  10. Thanks, guys. I probably took the word "generously" a bit too literally then. I don't have any glaze. Would panel wipe be ok or would it damage the underlying ceramic coating?
  11. Ah thanks. It's definitely 2.0 I've got then as I followed the "For use with Ceramic Coatings" instructions to the letter. Any idea why it went wrong and/or how I rectify it?
  12. I had my car ceramic coated at the start of the year - IGL Quartz for any of those familiar with that product. As a result, I'd been looking at something like Gyeon Cure or CarPro Reload to use as a maintenance/top-up LSP after every 3rd or 4th wash before deciding to give Adams Ceramic Boost 2.0 a try. I'm conscious that CB has been improved in the new iteration but there's doesn't appear to be anything on the bottle to confirm that's what I've received. I'm in the UK so it wasn't ordered directly from Adams. Long story short. I washed the car with Adams Shampoo, rinsed with my RaceGlaze DI filter, blow-dried the panel gaps, mirrors etc and ensured the paintwork was dry before applying CB as per the instructions in the shade. However, no matter how careful I was the paintwork is covered in smears which I just can't seem to shift. What's the best method to rectify this? Please be mindful this isn't me bashing the product, simply something went wrong with the application and I'm not sure how to safely remedy it.
  13. Hi all, James here. Longtime detailing enthusiast but new to the Adams range. Follow Matt Moreman for a long time on Youtube and decided to give some Adams products a try after his glowing comments. Few pics of my current car -
