I have a tendency to drop the microfiber pads. Can the Paint Sealant be used with the Americana Wax red applicator and/or yellow applicator?

Update: I watched the video again and Adam said that the textured applicators can be used so answer is yes. 

This is on my 1999 Dodge Durango with 135,000 miles. The paint has never been clayed nor has it been polished and waxed. 

Before close up shot on the roof

After the first wash, I sprayed the paint with Adam's DWC on the roof and other panels

I then used an alternative "clay bar" and Adam's older clay bar on the paint. 

After shot - Had to put the towel so that the iphone can focus on something. Sorry for the poor lighting but it was cloudy this morning. 

The race track in the video is Willow Springs Raceway located in Rosamond, CA located right smack in a desert area. Temperatures during the summer can go up to 115F. 

If you're going to do a clay/one step polish/sealant on a pick-up truck, then I would charge a minimum of $200 but aim for $250

They do. And be careful of any "effort" you put forth on them - using any polish that is not designed for the silica nano finish that makes up the top layer of the ceramiclear coating will inflict damage and in turn compromise the layers beneath it.  So if you just stab at it with a high-cut polish, you've effectively ruined the paint system.  Another reason to always start with the least aggressive polish you have - and in the case of ceramic finishes, even skip the compounding completely...just use multiple passes with a nano-friendly finisher or a single pass with a nano-friendly one-step polish.

Thanks Frank. I just wanted to make sure because according to Chris (Mook), he used both Adam's Paint Correction and Finishing Polishes so I guess it's safe to use it on the newer Mercedes-Benz ceramiclear finish. My best friend just bought a 2014 Mercedes E350 and I could see some small swirl marks on the hood. I wanted to see if I can tackle that if I bought Adam's 2-step polishes. 

Mook, 

Do you know if the C63 had a ceramic clear coat and if so, did correcting the paint take any extra effort?

was this the car that appeared in the DWC vid?

I don't think it was. The one on the video is a non-M3 BMW. 

Nice to know. I wanted to order more bottles too and couldn't find them anymore even with the search. Upgrades are good though. 

Frank - What did you use on the picture with the side door window trim?

Is that trim even made out of plastic or rubber?

For those with the Flex 3401, how do you correct and polish the paint on the pillars and small areas? 

He did do the fronts.    Look at the pictures.  Sonax on the driver side and Adam's on the passenger side.

I have been looking and comparing at all his pictures for awhile and just wasn't sure. I was curious because the wheel that was treated with Sonax appeared to have a smaller brake caliper. The wheel with the DWC clearly shows the size of the caliper. 

Alright this is long overdue but as they say, it's better late than never. 

I got into the hobby of detailing in early 2008. I was on the BMW message boards and all they talked about were other companies like GG, AG, and SV. I admit that I first started my small detailing collection with GG, SV, and AG products.

The first time I heard of Adam's Polishes and their products was from Detailers Domain. This led me to the Adam's Polishes website and my first order was the Glass Cleaner and Detail Spray. After watching the included Detailing Video Vol. 5 with Adam demoing all their products, I then ordered more Adam's products. After a few more orders,  I got an email from Adam P. thanking me for being a returning customer and wanted feedback on their products. 

Unfortunately, a couple of years later, I went to college and did not have time to have detailing as a hobby. But now that college is almost over and have less classes this term, and can go back to my detailing hobby.

Needless to say, I can't wait to try out the new Adam's products and hopefully, buy a Cyclo or Flex by the end of this year. 

Just something I would like to share with the community. 

I emailed the sales/orders department asking a question about their Lifetime Guarantee. Within 2 minutes I got a response back from Mr. Matt Butcher. That is the fastest response time I got from a company. 

This past weekend I called a local popular detailing supply company and all I got was an answering machine. I sent an email to them but didn't get a response 2 days later. And yes I called them during their open business hours. 

Needless to say, I was very impress by the response time from Matt. I think next time I'm going to ask a tougher question. 

By the way, the Adam's Lifetime Guarantee on their Cyclo and Flex polishers, bought through their Amazon store, does apply.

Dsmith2013 - Did you use Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner on the rear wheels and Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner on the fronts?

Did inventory on my microfiber towels and applicators. Put all my MF towels in new large plastic containers. Reorganized my detailing collection. Did some homework and later will BBQ some chicken legs and watch Oblivion. 

Welcome James! Nice ride you got there. 

70% IPA 30% water... 

Do you use regular tap water or distilled?

Yes the round ones. 

Can the Adam's Red Interior Applicator Foam be used as an exterior applicator to apply sealant, glaze, and/or wax?

I figured since it's a red foam, it has the same density as the yellow and Americana foam hex-grip applicator pads?

Thanks for the recommendations and advice gentlemen.

I personally don't have a garage or an area at home where I can polish/wax cars. My friend said that I can use his garage to do the exterior detailing. 

My plan is to wash and clay the car at home, then drive 35 highway miles to do the polish/sealant with a machine. I don't want to use his water (don't want to anger his wife) so do you recommend that I use detail spray or waterless wash once I arrive at his place?

^^^ That looks sweet!

I live in SoCal but it appears that politicians here are passing BS laws so I'm going to have to move out of here in a few years. Louisville, CO and Wyoming are places that I'm looking into.
