  1. Perhaps you don't need paint correction, however the "pop", as those above have stated comes from flawless paint. If it's not flawless it's not up to its potential. My 2018 Malibu is polished to darn near perfection, and Ceramic Coated with Adam's 9H Ceramic Paint Coating. Paint Sealant on top of a polished vehicle can give you the appearance you're looking for, as will Brilliant Glaze, then topped with one of our Waxes; Buttery, Americana, or Patriot.
  2. Two very true statements. Remember the less you touch the paint, the less the chance of marring it.
  3. You can swirl the Ceramic Coating. The paint underneath is still protected. I used to use a car cover on my GTO. No more, I went through three covers in about five years. Once you see the damage and realize what it's from, you can't un-see it.
  4. Wait, you did all that work, and now you're going to put a car cover on it? Think about it before you do. Do you regularly wash your car cover? Is it spotlessly clean? When you put it on and take it off can you do so without it moving, or sliding across the finish? If you answered no to any of those questions, your car cover is going to begin to swirl your finish. Let it get dusty; take care of it with Waterless Wash, Rinseless Wash, CS3, or a two bucket wash.
  5. Those really appear to be stock OEM wheels. Follow Nick's advise above and you'll be set. Ceramic Boost wipe down after every wash will keep them looking great all summer and into the fall.
  6. The Air Cannon has an optional wall mount too. The Air Cannon's hose is 30' extended just like the length of the Master Blaster's and its 4hp motor has a variable speed switch. Master Blaster; two 4hp motors - $449.99 Air Cannon - $299.99 or with optional wall mount - $359.98
  7. Caution with the use of a Leaf Blower. The air you'll be blowing directly at the finish of your vehicle at those speeds is going to be unfiltered. Dust, debris, pollen, etc can cause slight marring, and over time will begin to create small RIDS. If you're going to the care of a two bucket wash, using different buckets or wash media for wheels and tires than you do on the paint, don't use a Leaf Blower on it. Get one of Adam's Air Cannons or one of the Side Kicks.
  8. Brilliant Glaze, I've found, will degrade wax it's put over, but slowly over several applications. After polishing I'll lay down a coat of Brilliant Glaze, then apply two coats of wax. Before taking the car to shows or cruise-ins, I'll lay down another coat of Brilliant Glaze over top of the wax that's on the car to give it increased pop and clarity. The solvent in the Brilliant Glaze will remove the wax, but it takes several applications to do so.
  9. A bit more info is needed to help. What Chris asked above, and pictures would help.
  10. Dan GrafxWerks made up a set of Liquidome center cap overlays for Holly's Camaro that have held up incredibly well.
  11. In your post it appears you have the Americana already down as your LSP. To maintain the Americana between waxings Use the Spray Wax. Keep any very light dust off with Detail Spray.
  12. Boost is more of a Sealant for the Coatings, while the Ceramic Spray Coating is another form of Ceramic Coating that's just not quite as substantial as the Ceramic Paint Coating. Yes, I will top my Ceramic Paint Coated vehicles with the Ceramic Spray Coating, but not until at least six months after the Paint Coatings application as a way to extend the longevity of the original coating. Between the application of the Ceramic Paint Coating and the Ceramic Spray Coating I'll apply Boost after every few washes and use CS3 as a wipe down/drying aide after every wash.
  13. Scratch & Swirl Remover? By hand or machine? Looks awesome.
  14. Yea, the Revive and Hand Polish will add gloss. Be careful with clay, it could bring some gloss too. The Ceramic Spray Coating should have left some gloss. Pay attention to the gloss and current hydrophobic properties of the wheels, and when it changes the CSC should be gone. Before applying any Ceramic product the surface you're applying it to has to be the way you want it to be, because there's not much you can do to the surface until the coating is gone. What ever's under the coating is locked in. I treat a set of matte black wheel with only Matte Detailer.
  15. A hot, or even overly warm panel would not be where I'd want to apply a Ceramic, or Ceramic infused product. Here's a trick I've been doing, and it's helped me considerable with both Ceramic Boost and CS3 application to minimize the chance of streaking; Clean, cool panel, out of the sun. Mist your Borderless Gray microfiber towel with one spray of water on both sides of the towel again, with just plain 'ole water. Scrunch the towel around in your hands to distribute the small amount of water. Fold the towel into fourths, or half and just one spray of CS3, or Boost into the slightly dampened towel face and wipe just one panel. Buff the product off with another clean, dry Borderless Gray microfiber towel.
  16. My suggestion would be a strong wheel cleaner; over and over, and over again to slowly degrade the CSC; Wheel Cleaner, or Wheel & Tire Cleaner. Or live with them the way they are through the summer.
  17. Here's another I just finished yesterday. This 2007 daily driven 120,000 mile Dodge Magnum sits outside 24/7/365 wearing it's original paint in the pictured locations.. I polished the hood and roof using only Adam's new Compound; first with the Microfiber Pad, then followed with the New Blue Foam Pad. SK-Pro 15mm machine. The depth and gloss are incredible, look at all the metallic coming through in the paint. How about the reflection clarity of the neighbors house in the last pic? No need to follow up with the Polish and White Foam Pad on this color, the Compound finished down just fine. FYI; There is Ceramic Coating on the paint.
  18. Yes you can. It's listed on Adam's Webstore under Home Care as one of the Surface Cleaners.
  19. Looks good Dan. The washing marks/water spots in the first couple pictures, were they there from your washing, or embedded from previous washings?
