    Brewder got a reaction from RayS in Prep frustrations...   
    I can say it definitely was not the Dawn soap, but it ultimately was a self inflicted mistake.  In my haste, I  didn't buff all of the polish off prior to using Surface Prep.  After re-washing (again with Dawn), 90% of the cloudiness was gone, except on the hood where I used an exceptional amount of polish.  Again, my rookie mistake.
     
    I re-machine-polished the hood and it came out great.  I then coated the car and it looks fantastic.  I don't have pictures as it's a miserable/rainy day but definitely turned out great after I got past MY mistakes.

    I LOVE my SS!  Mine is a '17 in Regal Peacock Green Metallic..  It's an awesome color that makes is look almost black in the shade, and brilliant green metallic in direct sun.

    ....with ME!  I just finished my first ever graphen ceramic detail of my Chevy SS (like an hour ago) and here I am already thinking about when I can start layering on the Graphene Detail Spray!   I absolutely LOVE that I can hit EVERYTHING with the detail spray.  (I coated everything...including the glass)
     
    It took two days but I.....
    Washed Decom'd (Iron Remover) Clay bar... actually I used the clay mitt. One step paint correction Surface prep Then I coated everything with Graphene (excluding my wheels which were previously coated with Adam's Ceramic Wheel coating back in April/May)  
    The car is curing in the garage for the next 24 hours, then I look forwarding to seeing it out on the road!
     
    I'm really anxious to see how long it lasts with regular applications of Graphene Detail Spray.

    EDIT: forgot to mention the one step paint correction step.

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!  Attached are some picture of my daily driver...  The one I'm considering moving off Zaino products and into Adams Ceramics..
     
    If you don't know much about the Chevy SS.... It was manufactured in Australia from 2014 to 2017 as a Holden Commodore VF and imported by Chevy as the SS.  It's a sleeper rear wheel drive sedan with a 415 HP LS3 V8.    Lots of fun to drive.

    Not really adding anything here... but wanted to say.  My ceramic project isn't for a few more weeks, so in the meantime I wanted a detail spray to give my car an extra pop between washes so I gave the "pink" stuff a try.  wow.  Do I LOVE the Adams Detail Spray!!  I'm coming from years of Zanio products like Z6 and Grand finale sprays...  
     
    I can only assume that the Ceramic Detail Spray is just as good if not better... I just ordered myself a gallon before even trying it.

    Thank you!! I couldn't agree more and I cannot stop smiling every time I start it up.  I purposely remote start it just to 1) see reactions of anyone near by, and 2) to enjoy the burble of the LS3 even before I start driving... It is glorious!
     
    Unfortunately as a DD it takes a beating where I live from snow/salt... Hence my interest in Adam's ceramic paint protection.

    Hello,
     
    I'm a long time user of Zaino products.  I want to switch to a ceramic coating for my 2017 Chevy SS in Regal Peacock Green Metallic (crazy awesome color if you've never seen it).  In the bright sun, the paint looks like a very bright green metallic.  In the shade, it looks black.  I love the depth and richness.
     
    This car has very few miles (under 10k) on it but does require some light paint correction to remove swirl marks most likely from the dealer auto car wash (before I took ownership).
     
    I'm curious what a basic kit/process would be to strip the existing layers of Zaino.. Claybar, Perform light PC, then apply the ceramic polish and best topper for it (including all of the chrome/plastic trim).
     
    I'm new to the slightly overwhelming number of Adams products so looking for a good starting point to get me in the right direction.
     
    Thanks!

    PS... A few pictures of the car are in order!
