Applied CTC to my textured plastic bed cover about 2 or so weeks ago. It's been on and off raining since and haven't washed the truck. CTC is doing it thing, definitely worth the extra effort needed to apply it.

Used Ceramic Waterless Wash yesterday, then got some rain today. The beading from this product is INSANE!!!

A couple of weekends ago I did a Waterless Wash followed by Spray Wax on the wife's Malibu. The car was outside this morning when we got a heavy rain and I was rather impressed with the beading properties.

Standing in the parking lot in the rain snapping pics of beads on my SS. That’s Adam’s Spray Wax doing the beading.

A shot after a shower while we were watching the 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker'. I don't remember when the Paint Sealant was applied, but the H2O Guard & Gloss (old formula) was applied a month ago.

Hi Brandon @Bscott94...
I Googled Indy Alfa Dealers and saw that you have two. I went to the Napleton Alfa Romeo/Maserati dealership off 96th Street (depending on the listing, it's either "of Indianapolis," or "of Carmel," or simply "Napleton Italian Imports") and had a great overall experience. I worked with a salesman named John McGloin, initially over the phone and finalized things in person. He was very accommodating, doing everything from providing pictures to filming a video to make sure that it was worth my time driving down and back. He has been with the dealership for years, even prior to Napleton owning that location, so he is very knowledgeable. Granted we did some pre-work over the phone, but I was literally in with my old car and out with my Alfa in four hours. The car prep was nice as well, as they transferred everything down to my I-Pass (EZ-Pass). The only thing that was a bit annoying wouldn't affect you. Illinois started a new process for registering out-of-state purchased vehicles that they weren't familiar with (can't blame them for that), so it took 40-days for me to register my car and transfer my plates. Since Indiana Temp Tags are 45-day Tags, it made for some anxious days and for a lot of phone calls as we got past the 30-day mark. But they even got that done and since you live in Indiana, you won't have that headache to deal with.
I will give you the insight that if you are trading a vehicle, know your trade's value or the range you are willing to accept. This seems to be an Alfa dealer thing, not just a Napleton thing, as I shopped multiple dealerships up here in Chicagoland, and had the same experience. Whatever program or equation they are using to value trades was coming up with a low number regardless of who the dealer was owned by or what city it was in, at least on my car. That said, an hour at Carmax got me a written offer that I showed them after their offer on my trade, which they honored, and it got me an extra $2,500.
Outside of that, the car is amazing and if you enjoy driving, which if you are on a forum like this I presume you do, then you will love the Alfa regardless of trim level. I've have/had American, European, and Asian vehicles, and each excelled in specific ways. This is the most well-rounded car that I have ever owned. It's truly a luxurious driver's car. The Giulia has personality and it is hard not to smile every time you drive it. And it is gorgeous inside and out. You will catch a lot of people looking at it.
I hope that helps. If you have any questions or if I can help further, feel free to reach out to me.
Good Luck,
B

Hi BG. The PS will last up to 6 months, and can be maintained with HGG once a month or so. Most apply in the PS in the spring and fall. Not the protection of a coating, but easier & faster to apply.

Not a Quad... It's my daily driver, so living in Chicago, its nice to have the All-Wheel Drive. Still a looker and fun!
Here's a pic from before the first snow this year...

Beautiful car! If you haven't tried either/both, Paint Sealant (PS) and H2O Guard and Gloss (HGG) work incredibly well on white. Another great option is any of the ceramic products. But I still love the PS+HGG combo.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I have been purchasing Adam's Polishes products since July and I only discovered this forum today while treating myself to a late Christmas gift for myself, a Mystery Bucket. I figure it's just like a gift under the tree... A box with unknown contents. Sure I had to pay for it, but at least I'm sure to like whatever is inside.
In any case, all the best to you all this holiday season and I'm looking forward to interacting with you all on the forum in the future!
