Just hit it with Graphene Detail Spray... love the gloss

Just a quick update: I spoke to Phil and he's going to talk to our manufacturer to see if they would manufacture a coupler for us! 

Guess I'm the wrong guy to answer this one!  I've never used any of that gym equipment in my life!  And it shows!  

Thanks @Dan@Adamsand the forum team for fixing this one!!!
 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!!

I have been eating rather well recently between the Chef daughter and a gourmet cook originally from Albanian, there is just no lack of quality and quantity.  While I am always in charge of bringing the wine, I try to take care of whatever I can.  Over the last week, we've had home made Beef Wellington, Albanian lasagna, homemade bread, multiple desserts, breakfast pastries and much more.   I also know that our Christmas dinner will have a 4 rib bone in roast for the main course and well I did not splurge for the Wagyu, it is a top of a the line roast.  In addition to paying for the roast, wine and multiple other items, I decided to take care of the cooks Equinox.   
 
Here is a sample of the items that I received in traded:
 


 
 
 
This is what I did in turn for what is shown above.
 
 
 



 
 
I'm sure I am getting the better end of the deal, even though the SUV came out pretty good
 

I never win anything so I'm just doing this to improve the odds for everyone else.
 
Merry Christmas!!!

Still can't react to forum posts..... no matter which theme I use.   I think this might also be contributing to lack of engagement on the forum. For me I'm seeing the posts but can't interact with them. 

I will say, mine was damaged in shipment as well.  It was obvious it was due to the handling of the product and the fact that the box it comes in is not padded.   I didn't send mine back as it was still functional but it was much like above, the red lock was bent and let me tell u that is a sturdy part so it took a lot of effort to damage it by fedex.  

Firs I just want to say I am a long time Adam's user.  I remember when his product line was Detail Spray, Swirl & Haze Remover, Buttery Wax Undercarriage Spray and a few different types of Micro Fiber towels.  I also was always a polish and wax type of detailer.  Old school I guess.  Well about a year ago I decide to try the Ceramic Spray coating because I knew I could remove it a lot easier then the full 3-5 year coating.  I will admit I was a little skeptical but went for it any way.  Now this was Adam's first Ceramic Spray coating that came in the kit of Surface Prep, Ceramic Coating and Boost.  It was shortly after that the UV version was released.    Well that application is almost a year old so I decide to strip it off and apply a new coat using the UV spray.  Well I believe they said it was the say as the original except for the UV feature.  If it I may have not done some thing correct the first time because this seem so much better.  
First off the car spend a lot of time in the garage cover and especially now with COVID it seems to see even more down time.  So the car was clean under the cover, but I decided to clay bar the surface first, then I used the One Step polish and One step pad.  I did about half the car the first day stating with the hood.  Later that night I went out to the garage and noticed the the hood seemed clouded it wiped right off and had the shine that was there earlier.  The next day I went out hoping to finish and apply the ceramic coating, but the hood was all hazed up again.  It still wiped off, but I was concerned if I applied the ceramic would it haze up under the ceramic.  I decided to seek some help on the forum.  I waited a hour to see if I would get any advice, but finally decided to try the standard white polish and white pad.  That did the trick and the hazing issue was gone.  Turns out falcaineer replied and suggested the White pad and polish. 
So after completing the full polish/paint correct I was ready to start the ceramic coating process.  I wiped the car down completely with the Surface Prep,  Then I started with the hood applying the UV Ceramic Spray Coating half the hood waiting the 1-2 minutes before removing.  Followed this procedure for the entire car.  This was Wednesday so I knew I need to let it cure before adding the boost, so I let actually sit until today tp apply the boost.  I finished it around 11 am today and then backed it out to get a few pictures.  So here is the finished product:  Yes I guess I am a little anal as I also did the door jambs.
 
 

Hey everyone!  Feels good to be back here 1st off. Been out of the detailing game for a while now and slowly getting back to it.  Bought a new whip back in September and want to keep this thing clean (as much as I can)  purchased the graphine ceramic spray and put a coat on about a month ago topped it off with rinse and coat 2 weeks later.  Nice to see Adam's still has easy-to-use quality products!  Love the spray coating highly recommend.  Anyway this is stormtrooper😎

Well its 2020.  I have spent countless hours (and dollars on Adams products) and nothing can stand up to the forces of nature.  Was parked at work and the California winds pushed a dumpster into my car.  Ugh!  (Wish I could polish this out)

In August 2019, I put Ceramic Spray Coating on this picket and while it has had regular maintenance, I was going to redo it this weekend.  After a looking at the truck this morning, I decided that I would do a good wash, touch up a few spots and a fresh layer of Slick & Slide.  
 
After Christmas a few new items that I'm pretty confident are being added to the truck, we'll strip it down and do a wheels off recoat with Graphene.

One bucket washed the SS using Adam’s Car Shampoo and multiple MF wash mitts. Adam’s Graphene Detail Spray was used as a drying aid on everything but the tires.

Last week polished and used the graphene coating for the first time.  It was super easy to apply.  It rained a little today and I'll say I'm impressed.  This stuff is super slick.  
 
Wednesday I polished and coated the GF's car.  The clear coat on her car is hard and doesn't scratch easy to I just did a quick over with Adams finishing polish and was good to go.  Her tires are unusually easy to remove the bloom from so I decided to apply tire armor to them after I cleaned them.  Not sure what it is about car being to easy to maintain but I'm glad. The tires on my truck never looked this good with the tire armor either.

I got to thinking about your question and looking at that pic.  The tires do not stick out near as far as that pic would mislead you to believe. The tread is just about flush with the fender.  Only the sidewall pokes out slightly. 

Gave here a quick wipe down and a coat of Ceramic Liquid...

Adam’s Paint Coating topped with Adam’s Graphene Spray Coating on my SS. The owner of the white truck next to me had just returned from lunch otherwise you’d see the same type of beading as it also is sporting Adam’s Graphene Spray Coating.

First rain after a finishing polish and graphene coating on the GFs car last week.  Got home to see the beads and the black accents looking like a mirror 😍

Good morning. Although I’ve been detailing cars for 25-ish years, I’m still a weekend warrior. I’ve always kept my vehicles in very good condition but I decided to take yesterday and today off work and put some time into my truck. Yesterday I spent 10 1/2 hours prepping and today 5 hours applying Adam’s Graphene Ceramic Coating and wrapping up other little details. 
 
Products used:
 
Leather conditioner
Adams Strip Wash
Adams large wheel woolie
... DA polisher
Adams white polish with white foam pad
Adams blue compound with blue pad
Adams Detail Spray
Adams medium clay bar
Adams Tire and Rubber Cleaner
Adams Surface Prep
Adams Eco Wheel Cleaner
Adams Graphene Ceramic Coating
Adams coating applicator blocks (4)
Adams micro suede removal towels (4)
Adams Tire Shine
 
So far, I am amazed with the outcome!! Seeing how this was my first coating ever, I chose to apply the coating in the dark using the Adams UV light supplied with the kit. I honestly don’t think this could’ve been any easier. It was very simple to keep track of my progress and what I needed to do yet. The coating went on all painted surfaces, all glass, mirrors, wheel faces and most of the black plastic on the truck. Looks incredible for almost a 4 year old truck. Let me know what you think...
