The website says to "Spray a fine mist on the panel". In the video, at around 1:55 mark, Adam says "before he jumps in and starts using the spray and wipe, he does everything he can to reduce the big particles of dirt on the finish". The video goes on to say what all he does. You may want to check it out. I also remember in a different video with a different product, he said if the bottom of the truck is extremely muddy or dirty, you may need to rinse it off. I know that defeats the purpose of waterless wash, but large particles of dirt will scratch the paint for sure. I apologize as I've not used this product yet but I will be in about a week. So I've been studying a lot myself.

@Nickfire20 You were right!!! I used a whole bottle of Iron Remover on the car and there was more than I imagined. This is the Roof: This is the Hood: This is the Trunk: I had a piece of a bottle of Wheel Cleaner and just enough for all four wheels. Then I rinsed and dried the entire car. I then used the Adam's White Fine Grade Clay Bar with DS and clayed the complete car. Crap, I just remembered I forgot to clay the wheels. Maybe next time. I put maybe 3 ounces of Car Shampoo and 3 ounces of Eco All Purpose Cleaner in the Foam Cannon and the Wash Bucket. I foamed the entire car, there was a lot of foam. And I used the mit and washed the entire car and then rinsed with the power washer. I used the leaf blower I purchased for the sole purpose of drying the car and dried the car. There wasn't enough left to towel dry but I drug it over everything anyway. It is now parked in the garage while this old man rests and it cools down as the sun was hitting the trunk and back window. Still left to do: Apply the Surface Prep spray. Apply the Ceramic Spray Coating. and let it cure overnight. Get up in the morning and apply the Ceramic Boost and Tire Shine. I have to say, it looks pretty good so far. Here is a picture of the hood during the rinse after washing. Not much beading of water on the hood:

Dan, I read through the entire thread today. It was awesome to read and learn how to do it. I am newly retired and decided keeping my car clean and nice would be my hobby. I will revert to this thread a lot. Thanks so much for the details and the ideas. I noticed there isn't anything about Interior Detailing (except removing the scratches from the cluster and the use of Leather Conditioner. A detailed on how you go about detailing the Interior would be awesome. Thanks again. P.S. I tapped out on the Likes for the day. It wouldn't let me add anymore. Ha ha.

Okay, thanks.

Yes, I'm interested. What kind of money are you looking for?

Guilty as charged. Thanks as there is a LOT of good stuff here.

And I'm not through the complete post yet. Ha ha. Its awesome.

Dan, sorry to be bringing old posts to life. But I saw the earlier picture and information but I didn't understand what the pressure washer gun part was. I like the idea and would like to see about making something like this myself.

Dan, where do you get the spray bottles? I found a bunch of them but they all say they are for agriculture.

Per the description in the link provided: "Adam's Leather Conditioner properly conditions all leather, vinyl and textured plastic interior surfaces, leaving them soft and supple. The final look has a beautiful appearance that is satin, never slippery or shiny." I thought he said he wanted a SHINE?

Ha Ha, I thought it was Lamb. The meat pole is the same thing they use in the Middle East for Shawarma's. They are either Lamb or Chicken. I've not seen its use in Mexico. I guess 18 years working in the Middle East was too much!!!

David. Let the shining begin.

Tate. Let the shining begin.

Not saying it is BAD but aren't they all PH neutral? I thought he said, the Mega Foam was better wash for a Ceramic coated car and not the Car Shampoo. That is why I just spent money on the BOGO and got a Mega Foam. I'll save the gallon and bottle of Car Shampoo for my second beater box I plan to pick up.

Per the attached video, I thought Car Shampoo was the wrong product to use on Ceramic?

Now that's funny!!!!

Corey. Let the shining begin.

AGREE 1,000%

Yellow is my favorite color as well. I had a Yellow 2015 Subaru Crosstrek and the 2015 RAM 1500. Then I got another Subaru but I could only find it in white. So I color changed wrapped it to yellow. I just traded it over the weekend. Wife says my Yellow days are over. I laughed at her!!! I apologize for hijacking your post. I hope you can resolve the issue as that Mercedes looks great.

Juan, THANKS. That last paragraph was what I was looking for. I totally understand no one knows the longevity of the product. You answered my question. When its life appears to be over, you start all over again. I appreciate the assistance.

Sorry, I can't help you at all. I just needed to tell you that YELLOW RAM 2500 rocks. I had a 2015 RAM 1500 in Yellow and I'm still kicking myself for getting rid of it.

So the process is unknown regardless of the timing?

Juan, If you use Ceramic Spray Coating as you mention and lets say it lasts 6 months. What is the process after that? Do you have to start all over again as if the car has never been coated before? Do you just keep using the maintenance products or what? Just got a new car and will be doing this within a week. Waiting for the Iron Remover to get here on the 14th. Then I'll get it all done.

Totally agree with you. I haven't priced it or read up on it yet myself. I have a bunch of other product to use that it will be awhile as I only have one car now to clean.

Let the shining continue. Sweet looking rides. Love the Mustang.
