Well...my 'messed up' process worked pretty well.
There a quite a few 'high spots' showing. I have a dark blue Honda, so if really look, you can see them.
I'll have to get some Brilliant Glaze and Spray GB to fix them.
I drove through a major down pour and the beading was terrific.
By the time I got home, every tiny drop had blown off.
Graphene is a great product.
I did go back to watch the Graphene videos and (not to complain), but the wipe off towels used were not the polish towels.
That's were I made my mistake in just using the gray silk towels. Maybe you can stress that in your next video.
Thanks for a great product.

Hello,
Newbe to the Forum, but not to Adams Polishes.
Just bought a brand new Honda CR-V, so I wanted to get it protected with Graphene.
Read the kit's instructions and watched Joe's video, but... I totally missed using the gray polishing cloth.
I applied and then used the gray silk cloth only
Opps...
But, after posting in the forum, I quickly learned about my rookie mistake.
And how to fix it.
Thanks falcaineer.

Those are high spots, the coating that wasn't fully removed. Try the following in order, if available, starting in a small spot to see what works, then use the same process on the rest of the car.
1) Brilliant Glaze, wiped away with a plush microfiber towel
2) Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating (applied to reactivate the coating, then immediately wiped away)
3) Apply a few drops of white Polish to a plush microfiber towel, like a Borderless Grey, laid completely flat, not folded, and use your entire hand to lightly and evenly rub the areas until the high spots disappear. Wipe away residue and enjoy, no need to reapply
4) Machine polish with white pad and Polish, then Surface Prep, then reapply the coating on the affected area, level, and allow to fully cure
That should get you squared away!
Will do. It's in the 'curing' phase now, so I'm interested to see what happens when water hits it.
Thanks again.

Bingo...
I read the brief instructions and watched the video on the home page and totally missed seeing use the gray polishing towel. I only used the gray silk towel like was used on the video.
My bad.
Thanks.
What's the correction now?

And, I used the surface prep before applying the Graphene.

....to the car (brand new Honda CR-V) and it looked great under regular light.
I did all the prep work, striping the dealer applied wax, iron removal, claying, machine polishing, applying Graphene (one 3x3 section at a time), and wiping off with the kit's gray silk like cloth.
I used the full Graphene kit, but the UV light was not too helpful with the garage light during application.
Tonight, I went back into the fully dark garage (8 hours after applying) with the UV light and my coating looks terrible.
Lots of streaking and hazing. It really looks like I applied regular wax but did't wipe off the haze. Using the regular overhead garage lights, it does look great.
Is this normal, until the 24 hour curing is complete or have I messed up?
Spent the day applying Graphene and...

Thanks for your offer.
I’m near Charleston.
I have basically corrected my first application. I am amazed at how water micro beads and flows off the paint and glass. And how good my Honda looks clean.
Thanks again, but I’ve managed to end up getting a great result.
