Any tips/concerns with using this product on ventilated seats?  Once the interior is treated, should other products be used after periodic cleaning (i.e. should Leather Conditioner be applied)?  Thanks!

Ah!  Good catch and glad to see the instructions are correct on the website - here is the side of the bottle showing "Note:" with a colon even - glad I could get this sorted before using the product.  Thanks!

From the side of the bottle, Step 5 says the following:

Use a second clean waffle weave towel after all sides on the first towel are fully soiled. Note: Using a clean, dry towel will cause this product to be streaky and not wipe away streak free.

Slightly confused by the note - are we supposed to dampen a new towel before using it?  Thought I read elsewhere that you are supposed to come behind the waffle weave with a clean microfiber towel to remove streaks - is that the proper procedure?

Thanks!

It is time to do another treatment on my convertible top - this is on a 2017 Chevy Camaro.  Initially I used RaggTopp cleaner followed by RaggTopp fabric protectant.  I've cleaned the top again using RaggTopp and am curious if I can use the Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating or is there another option in the Adam's line that would be better?  Does anyone have a link to the process of applying the protectant that I could review?  Thanks!

I know the CB 2.0 could be used as a drying agent - can the newest CB in the white bottle also be used the same way or is it only for dry applications?  Thanks!

I watched this on YouTube the other day and was a bit surprised at the content so I had some questions.  In the video, Adam talks about using Wash & Wax, Detail Spray, and other products on a car that has a ceramic coat on it but I thought I had read in numerous other posts here that those products defeat the hydrophobic properties of the coating and you should only use Ceramic Boost on the coating. I hesitate to question an officially published video by the man himself but would at least like to point out the contradictions and get an official answer on how to best use the products. Thanks!

Unless they are Ceramic Coating applicators - those you just use and dispose.

Thanks for the feedback - will be attempting this over the Labor Day weekend!  Will post back pics (if I don't screw it up).

That's not an Adam's microfiber!  

 

Beautiful car!

Of course not!  The rag is just a prop! 

Searched the forum for this and keep coming up empty as well as can't find any videos yet specific to the trim coating product.  I did the paint coating a few weeks back but for some reason I'm a bit squeamish about tackling the trim.   Looking at the pic below is it safe to coat the area marked in yellow which is trim that sits outside the car near the windows and should I also coat the areas marked in orange which are actually inside the car when the top is up?  Is it best to tape off any painted areas around these because I'm afraid that I'm going to get the coating on areas other than the trim?  And lastly, what's the easiest way to do the trim at the base of the windshield - should I remove the windshield wipers and leave the trim in place while taping off the glass?  Thanks!

Took my car in for a quick service on Monday and saw this beauty in the showroom.  Was even more pleased to see a bottle of Adam's Detail spray inside!

As promised, here are some photos that I took today - really happy with the coating. ?

Sorry, it rained on the car before I could get any pics - will do a wash and post back shortly - after the wash, do folks use the Ceramic Boost when drying or is that something only applied to a dry surface?

Alright, just finished up the paint coating this evening and will do the Ceramic Boost tomorrow morning.  I was able to get the whole car done with just a single side of an applicator pad.

Planning to do a ceramic paint coating this weekend and wasn't sure so thought I'd ask - are you supposed to use the same side of the applicator throughout the treatment of an entire car or will the product begin to cause that side of the applicator to harden before an entire car can be completed?  Thanks!

Got my replacement sprayers and everything is working perfectly again - great customer service - THANKS!!!!!

Tried that today and had no luck - really streams out no matter what I do - it used to function just like the small 4 oz travel spray bottles that Adam had.  I almost suspect that something broke off the sprayer on the Glass Boost bottle because I can't see anyway it could possibly do a fine mist with what is there now.  I'll send an email as you suggested.  Thanks!

Purchased this product awhile back and absolutely love it.  I had left the bottle sitting around and recently picked it up to use it.  For some reason the sprayer is in stream mode - originally, it put out a very fine mist with each pump but I don't know what I've done to switch that over to stream mode.  Any advice on how to get it back to that fine mist setting?  Thanks!

I wasn't as close as JerseyGator but I worked in midtown back then. I rode the train in that morning and spoke to friends I never saw again. My next door neighbor worked at Browne Brothers right there and told me a story of moving all his people into the vault for safety. Another neighbor was on the phone with his wife when she almost got trampled to death when the stampede out of the PATH started. I'll never forget any of that - how could anyone? A true testament to the human spirit of how so many reacted and helped people get through that time - and its the type of thing that will effect 2 or 3 generations of people before the pain and suffering even starts to ease.

One thing that helped me get through it was the tribute album that George Winston did shortly after. I used to listen to that on the train rides. Really captured the mood of things at that time - you should look it up if you haven't heard it.

Arrange it and make it happen! I would love to be a fly on the wall when he starts with that 2000 grit!

You wouldn't last 10 minutes as a fly on the wall in my garage buddy - WHACK!!! You're smushed!

I thought in your video you only used 2500 grit and 3000 grit - where'd all this talk of 2000 grit come from?

If you car is being repainted, why would you need to wetsand it after that? I would think the wetsanding technique is to remove light scratches rather than repaint the whole panel. If you are going to repaint the whole car, there should be no reason to sand anything after that is done or have I completely misunderstood your question?

Remember, "seems easier" is right. I make it look a lot easier than it is!

I would say you made it look "simple" - if it was easy, you wouldn't have been breathing so hard.

Just got my PC 7424XP today and it looks like they must've watched your videos - the stuff you recommend throwing away isn't in the box anymore.

You sure you wanna go there?

Indeed I do ... "to be da man, you gotta beat da man!" - I wouldn't be spending all this money and time just to settle for second best.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words:

Those slippers are DA BOMB!!!! Good ole #3 - gone but not forgotten. Should be getting my polishing kit on Wednesday but we leave for vacation on Saturday - first leg of the trip goes from Tampa to Denver so I'll probably fly right over you - I'll look for the garage surrounded by a cloud of dust where you'll be filming your next waterless wash video.

Given the young age of my car and the dark color, I'm thinking FMP on a white pad followed by Revive on a white pad and then MSW on the black pad is the way to go. I've seen Adam's video on cleaning pads - since I only have one white pad, will a good session with Adam's All-Purpose Cleaner be enough to remove the extra FMP before I start with the Revive. After all that, I'll post up pics and we can compare "my shine" to "yo shine".
