It's the little things....
 
A few days ago I saw the $100 gift card promo (comes with a free single plush towel and 16oz of detail spray) and I figured I was going to spend $100 any way and might as well get some free stuff.
While I was at it I decided to order another 64oz of Ceramic Boost, the new small interior brush, and I also wanted to try the Ceramic Waterless since I had read great things about it on the Adam's forum.
I decided to order the 12 oz.
Well to my surprise when my package came today, they sent me 2 - 8oz bottles of the ceramic waterless.
So I got an extra 4 oz!
Maybe they were out of the 12 oz bottle, I have no idea.
 
I know its not much but its the little things...
 
In this order it is the mints in my box, a sample of shampoo, an air freshener, and an extra 4 oz of Ceramic Waterless.
In a time where companies customer service seems to struggle, Adams customer service excels.
 
Just one of the many reasons I have become a loyal Adams customer.
Keep up the great work!!!

Happy father's day to you  Greg!   Wife got me this shirt (sorry, can't copy just the pic)  https://teechip.com/fastlane-legendary-427-back?fbclid=IwAR2dXKd2Du_cyO3gyg2TfSF-dozk4lr-OCj8JmNfm-fCcGFhjRlJpYyLtTg&retailProductCode=1400697337A1E7-423A1A127709-GS0-TC0-NAV&name=back  .  And the son is taking me to a buffet tomorrow, daughter sent a gift card for Longhorn Steakhouse. So I'd say I'm feeling pretty loved right now. 
 
Happy Father's Day to all of the dads and granddads here.  Enjoy your day!

Just use the right towels and for light dust, fingerprints, and the like only and you'll be fine. The Wash adds the lubricity, and the Waterless Wash towels are built to encapsulate the dust, etc. Don't believe me? Then here's a message from @Adam himself!
 
 
 
You can use it on coated cars but instead, I'd HIGHLY recommend the Ceramic Waterless. It's what it was made for!

Home-cured maple bacon 
 

Yes, it smells so so good! Made my experience with it that much better! This is probably the first chemical that I really just wanted to eat.

Late last week while fishing the local pond I slipped in a muddy spot and my knee landed in goose s*** and cut grass. What a funky, stinky stain that was!  Got home and tossed the jeans in the wash but the stain didn’t budge. Out with Adam’s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner and a good soaking spray.  Tossed jeans back in the wash and after another cycle they were clean. Liquid Tide has met its match.

After using Ceramic Paste Wax on the Mustang and then the daughters Fiesta, I decided to transition the truck to CPW.  The truck had not been stripped, clayed and polished in a year, so it was time to spend a weekend showing it some love.  The truck was in great shape so it didn't take much to get everything cleaned up starting with a Strip Wash, after the SW, I hit it with Iron Remover, rinsed it off and then into the garage to be clayed.  I would have clayed outside, but the weather did not permit it.
 
After it was clayed using the Clay Mitt, I check it for marring and it was minimal.  I decided to go with One Step Polish on the hood and front end and Revive Hand Polish on the rest.  It probably wasn't necessary, but I did go over the hood and front with Revive to ensure it had the same last product touching the paint as the rest of the truck.  Once I completed the truck with Revive, I wiped it down with a clean double-soft, which I repeated this morning before I started applying CPW.
 
The humidity was very high today, I started with a very thin coat of CPW on the roof.  It got tacky after about 5 minutes and that is when I started to take it off with a single-soft.  The method I use for putting the wax on, is to use a half-turn of the applicator and go over about a 3 square foot section or about half of a hood.   If the applicator starts to stick, then you need more wax.   I do not use any machines when waxing, call me old-school, but that is my preferred method.
 
The weather has been poor all weekend, so I don't have the best pictures, so I'm sharing the one I was able to take from inside the garage and one I grabbed after the last storm went through.  In about two weeks, I'll give it a two bucket wash and use Ceramic Boost as the drying agent.  Since the truck sits outside, I'll use CB every 4-6 weeks according to how it looks feels.  If the Mustang is any indication, I think it will be around 6 months before it needs another coat of wax.   I think by the time it needs another coat of wax, I'll probably put on a base coat of Ceramic Spray Coating - we'll see how much I have left of the other chemicals before I make the decision.
 
As for the cost of the CPW, it is expensive from the investment standpoint, yet the amount of product used is so minimal that I expect to get 20 or so vehicles out of a container.  Without a doubt the shine and beading from the wax is exceptional.
 
Update:  It is still raining, but when I let the daughter dog out, I there was at least some decent light to get a better picture.   The trees from the front fender are approximately one acre away.  The two things that really caught my eye was the back of the mirror and how you can see the trees and skyline.  The second item is how much better the wheels and tires look even though they were done on Saturday and I only put Ceramic Boost on the wheels.

Really light misty rain all day today. 
Parked my car side by side to my dad and the difference was quite visible!
Picture 1 shows my Metallic Gray which is clayed, RW, then finished with HGG. 
Picture 2 shows my dad’s White that hasn’t been detailed yet. Hopefully Monday after the weather clears up. 
 

Hi Marcus,
I've found for very tough water spots on windows, All Purpose Cleaner will usually take it off and then follow that up with regular Glass Cleaner.

After pic. 

Looks brand new! Great work, Ryan. 👍🏼💯

Whole lotta first world problems up in this mutha! 

General rule of thumb is not to mix product families. Doing so can adversely affect the hydrophobic properties of your base layer. So that means keep silica with silica, carnauba with carnauba, acrylic with acrylic, etc. Ceramic Boost is ideal for a coated car (as are all silica-infused products from the Adam's ceramic line, link below); HGG v2.0 is fine, as well, but not quite as good and shouldn't be layered very often; and you should keep Spray Wax...which is heavily carnauba-based...off of it and for other non-coated cars you may own.

Welcome, Mark! 
 
You aren't getting off that easy! Whatcha keeping shiny?! How long you been using Adam's? Need more info!!!

Score weed

A clay, polish, and surface prep is always recommended. You want the paint to be as perfect and as bare as possible. Maybe look into the Revive Hand Polish as opposed to the more serious polishes. This one is minimally abrasive, and is said to work as a paint cleaner.
 
Reason for that is, if there are any contaminants or imperfections, they will be sealed under the coating. The surface prep is for getting the clay lube/polishing oils/anything else that might be on there off to create the naked paint for the Ceramic Spray Coating to bond to.
 
But also, all of this is up to your discretion, considering your car is new and clay and polish are abrasive, you may not want to polish your car so early. On my vehicle (about 1 year old when I coated) , I skipped the polishing step simply because I didn't have the resources at the time. So my steps were as follows:
Strip Wash thoroughly Spray Iron Remover and rinse Clay with DS and rinse Dry Surface prep wipe down with Microfiber towel (important) Coat with CSC Wait cure time (Important) Ceramic Boost (optional, adds sacrificial layer to coating and boosts gloss and hydrophobics)  
I have had great results so far - Hydrophobics are unbelievable, and gloss is crazy - I don't know how, but it really makes paint look great!
 I think I would have used the Revive Hand Polish right before my surface prep if I could go back. That would give my paint even more extra pop, but I'm happy with my results.

i tried posting this in the Help Us Help You topic twice and it bombed out for some reason.
 
Anyway, curious if you guys would do something like you did in the past with a multi-pack of air fresheners or maybe even do a pick 5 for $10 option. Please bring back Grape while you are at it! And Apple or Peach would also be great. Or even some of the Odor Neutralizer scents. I typically put one in all my customers cars so you guys get free advertising as well. 😎👊

Taker' easy
 
(I'm still trying to learn to be southern)

I was standing in front of the sliding glass door watching it rain and thought "I wonder what would happen if I used CSC on my umbrella and grill cover". I may need to try to pick up a bottle and see what happens. 

I tries the ceramic boost on my stainless dishwasher. Worked so well I used it on my stainless fridge and oven. Been 2 weeks and no finger prints.
WIN!
