Adam’s Paint Coating topped with Adam’s Graphene Spray Coating on my SS. The owner of the white truck next to me had just returned from lunch otherwise you’d see the same type of beading as it also is sporting Adam’s Graphene Spray Coating.

So in Love with the Scat Pack, MORE in love with what Adam's does to it.
my new fave.... SLICK AND SLIDE as the final topcoat. (and of course other, obvious components to "get here")... man oh man.

welllllp!!! hahhaa.... I couldn't wait. i left work early, packed up my polisher (cordless, yay!) and got to work. a clean slate. strip wash, iron remover, clay, machine polish, sealant, etc etc. .... (by now you all know the drill)... topped off LAST but not LEAST with Slick and Slide. (ps. the Graphene DS is KILLER!) ... Guys, I'm not kidding. ... ive never felt (on any car) a final finish so smooth and flawless. The mystery still is, though: New micros did NOT lint. Freshly washed ones (air dryed) still did. So, clearly something odd is happening (all of a sudden, all these years later) in my washing process. no clue. But... for now... I'm distracted by how wonderful it came out. ADAMS = the ONLY CHOICE. The one step polish kinda blew my mind. I was not expecting such ease and such QUICK perfection and satisfaction. CHEEERS

vm1971 reacted to falcaineer in Iron remover - pre or post wash
According to Adam's: rinse, Iron Remover, Rinse, Wash, Clay, etc. I figure it's fine to wash first, but rinsing first is the process Adam's recommends in their video below.
Always make sure the surface is cool to the touch, and avoid leaving on plastic trim too long as it can stain. It can be used in direct sun, but never let it dry on any surface, so use caution.

HI!
so... as SLICK as the paint looks and feels ... and it does...
i do realize its probably due for a strip/clay. for some dumb reason i didn't even THINK of that affecting those towels.
and sure enough, i did the age old baggie test last night... not as bad as i expected, but def a GRIT all over the car. and the ***-end/tail/bumper... is noticeably coarser grit...
so i know what i'll be doing this weekend! then we'll see!!!!!! THANKS!!!

I've found if I have too much of a build up of certain products on the paint surface I'll get linting. Detail Spray, Spray Wax, even Americana or Patriot. Do a Strip Wash and Clay the vehicle as Falcaineer mentioned above.

A good way to mess up a bunch of single and double softs is toss them in the washer right after hash products were used or somebody missed the dryer sheet when they took their stuff out of the dryer.
As for tossing towels, unless they are so bad, they can't be used a grease rag, they never go in the garbage. I get every last drop of use out of mine. They generally go from the body, to wheels & tires, the exhaust tips and engines to general mechanics grease rags. The body ones are the only ones that get the proper wash treatment with the Towel & Pad Revitalizer, the rest go to the side and generally get a bucket and hose taken to them.

Hmm.. ya, I'm in the same boat. And again - its only those single-soft versions. Im going to try to wash them FULLY isolated and air-dry. Everything else is ok! Happened again last night during a 3 step "waterless magic session"... haha... car was ok, just a little dotted from a quick rain and some flinging of tire shine... I had to switch towels again but... it came out ok. I'm not normally a "waterless" guy, but... this is PRIMO: CS3 / Vivd DS / Slick N Slide. Holy cow!

Wanted to follow the thread, had about 10 towels do the same to me lately out of nowhere. Boiled, and even washed individually. Nothing has helped.

oops. i just realized you did it. hahaha. wow!!! no wonder it looks so great. but still, ... take my advice if you ever get in a jam. its amazing.

Gorgeous truck. Honestly, since Ive had my 19 Scat Pack... ive babied it with nearly ALL of Adam's ceramic INFUSED products...
and even a good pal at a GREAT BODYSHOP said to me... "you dont even need to coat it."
I am in the same boat... I dont really have the place to do the full coating / cure times / etc.
My paint is till ALMOST 90% swirl free and water FLIES off it. Everywhere I go (nearly) I get comments on the Charger and the paint.
I love the ceramic wash, the liquid wax, the CS3, etc. etc. .... This method and choice of products has been BEYOND good to me.
Good luck and congrats on the ride!

Easy to apply and remove. I used a little less than half a bottle for my full size truck. Did the glass sun roof and all windows too. Paint has a bit of extra pop now. I'll use Boost every few washes or so. Easier than most liquid type sealers. Let's see how long it lasts! 😃
