Got the van done! 
 
didn’t have to open the second bottle until the last panel. 
 
each vehicle so far I’ve used 2 takeoff towels, for anyone wondering (I was curious how many it would take). 
 
still very happy with the product!

So I stayed away from ceramics up until now, due trim issues. 
 
With the GCC being good on all surfaces I jumped on it. I am most impressed. 
 
it took less time than my usual 3 step, looks just as good and went on easily. 
 
I did do the silver car first, so cheated a bit
 
09’ Volvo S80, 117K miles DD. 

On the very first order I placed with Adam's, they sent me out one too few spray bottle tops.
 
So I contacted customer service -- the next day they sent me three new tops.
 
Last week I ordered a microfiber wash mitt, and they sent me a wheel wash mitt by mistake.
 
So I contacted customer service -- the next day they sent me the microfiber wash mitt I ordered and said, "Keep the wheel wash mitt, you'll need it sometime!"
 
Adam's may not always get things right the first time, but their customer service people always make it right, and fast!

Thanks for a fair resolution to an issue I had with a recent order.  Adam's customer service is alive and well!  

Lucky shot! I took those randomly so glad I found yours. 🤟
 
 
Agreed, Rich! Pretty cool indeed.

Nice! Thanks @falcaineer ! I finally see me! Bottom left of the second pic! Woot woot!

I couldn't think of where else to put this, so I'm sharing it here mainly for the Coast Guard veterans and Wisconsinites.   My wife and I are both USCG veterans and I had my Syracuse and NY Yankees masks and today our USCG and the wife's new masks came in, so I'm sharing picture.   It is local company in Columbia, SC that is making them and I think they did a great on all three, especially the Badgers - we were really impressed.
 

my wife just bought my son a shirt for us to match 😅

Looks great!  I followed pretty much the same steps and alternate Detail Spray and CS3 as a drying aid.
 
Excellent color choice!!

Hi Dan,
No worries, we live and we learn.  In this case, I had the bonus of teaching a lot of other people at the same time
 
As for the Tire and Rubber cleaner, I only used that on the rubber mat portion, not the entire running board.   I love my Revive hand polish and I do have a couple of bottles on hand and will most certainly give it a try.   Revive is the best thing there is for tail lights, marker lights and golf carts and I'm going to find out about running boards.
 
Either way, I'm pretty sure that I have an excuse to redo my truck before I redo Mary's Terrain and they'll both get Graphene.
 
Update:  I had to go outside and give Revive a try - Thank you @Dan@Adams
 
It is starting to get dark, so I hit the center section and with the puddle lights on, you can easily see the difference where I went over it with Revive - I'm impressed.   I did the other two flat sections and stepped back and snapped a couple more pictures.   The second one is the whole board with the puddle lights on and the last picture has part of the sequential turn single on.  
 
Based on what I can see tonight, it sure looks like Revive will be the easy cleanup to my mistake and now I have a new use for Revive since I would have never thought of using it on anything powder coated.  Thanks again Dan, I appreciate the response and recommendation.
 
 

I went ahead and used the Ceramic Coating to the door jams.
 

 
I am more then impressed with the way the Ceramic Coating turned out! The coating was super easy to put on. The prep work was were I spent most of my time. This car sits out 24/7 and has 30,000 miles on it.
What I did:
Adams Strip Wash
Clay
Adams Paint Correcting Polish
Adams Finishing Polish
Adams Strip Wash
Adams Coating Prep
Adams Ceramic Coating
Adams  Ceramic Boost (24 hours later)
Adams Glass Sealant to all glass.
Adams VRT to tires
Adams Undercarriage Spray to wheel wells
Adams Quick Sealant to wheels (I will soon be out of this!)
Adams Metal Polish #1 and #2 to exhaust tip
 
I am planning on putting this on our Ram 1500 the next time it needs corrected. Maybe in the fall. I am really glad I went ahead and tried the coating.
 

 

 
Before

 
After

Stuff smells awful but some of the best trim product I've ever used if it holds up.  This stuff is trashed Alaska trim with no care for 13 years.

@Dan@Adams Does this have any adverse effect when used in conjunction with the Adam's Glass Sealant?   If no, it is a win since the stuff you get in the stores tends to diminish the longevity of the Glass Sealant.  The price point makes it a product that I will get a gallon and give it a try anyway.

What do you have against Texas and California?  Contrary to popular belief is dose rain here once in a while.

Thanks for looking, and let us know what you think if you try it out!

So in Love with the Scat Pack, MORE in love with what Adam's does to it.
my new fave.... SLICK AND SLIDE as the final topcoat. (and of course other, obvious components to "get here")... man oh man.
:)

Thanks for posting these, I'll pass them to our team

Wash, clay, revive hand polish, surface prep, paint sealant,...couple days later, wash and h2o GG !!!  Ready for the Fall, or what we call it in Michigan, Winter.

Everyone must be getting thier C8 vetts ! The guy who I did the other C8 for, posted yesterday, was a friend of his and loved the insanse Adams shine ! Same process,different color, but just as cool. 

So a buddy of mine just picked up his new vette, but the dealer trashed it as usual, so it needd a litle love from me and Adams. Strip washed, claybared, 2 step paint correction, Brilliant Glaze, Americana wax and some Slick and Slide added for a little extra pop. Needless to say it looks a lot better !!

Hi John, great questions! Graphene Detail Spray can be used as a drying aid or after a wash, but like with any protection product, there is a possibility of build-up if you are using it heavily and frequently. Once a week or bi-weekly should be fine, but you may want to make a fresh surface a few times per year with something like Surface Prep or a light dilution of Strip Wash 👍

I recently washed my car coated with GCSC (Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating) and followed it with GDS (Graphene Detail Spray).  
 
Is it ok to use GDS on weekly basis after wash?  Will there any build-up overtime?

Hi Dan, I agree with you except for the inside of the windshield and mirrors inside the house and for both of those I have found nothing that can beat Brilliant Glaze.

Today I rinseless washed the SS with Adam’s Rinseless Wash. When I was done I was going to do the wheels with the remainder of the rinseless wash solution. I was then going to give them a shpritz of Ceramic Boost but had left it in the basement. I noticed I had the bottle of CS3 with and got the bright idea to use it as a wheel cleaner. Wheels had about a weeks worth of rain, road grime and brake dust on them.

 I hit each wheel with about 4 sprays on the face and about 6 sprays in the barrel leaving it dwell about 15 seconds.  I then went at the lugs first with an old Adam’s boars hair lug nut brush on the face and a competitor’s slinging wheel brush on the barrels and calipers. Tires were just scrubbed with rinseless solution and a tire brush.

I could see it go to work on the grunge, good start!  
 
 
Wheels cleaned up very nicely and  while rinsing the beading was off the charts:


 
The finished product was more than acceptable for what was not a bucket and hose wash of the wheels.  I’ll add this to my winter rinseless wash regimen, but I’ll have to order a gallon before then.  👍🏼
