    Hi Vince, awesome pictures! I think it was me helping you out with the Ceramic Boost questions (I have the SS sedan).
     
    Ceramic Boost is absolutely my favorite product of ours now, it's crazy the amount of slickness and shine it creates, just make sure to lightly spray it just like you would with Detail Spray and then wipe it thoroughly.

    HI!
    i gotta admit, i thought i was entering into a LONG session...
    but i did the whole car, and carefully.... in not too much time.
    it went ON and OFF with ease... the key was to evenly mist, and not DROWN the panels...
    and then, with a FRESH dedicated towel(s), spread on, and then WIPE/buff off. it was amazing. 
    My paint is Mosaic Black Metallic... and again, i think the key was to mist it lightly (the Adams rep we talked to in person even mentioned not going apesh*t with the application) and really switch or fold your towel to keep the towel surface as fresh as you can. I did mine with 2 single softs and it was awesome.
    Let me know if you try it! (with pics, of course).

    Hi everyone, long time no here.
    Im back... 
    After a fun weekend in Carlisle, and being in the ADAMS tent 3 times and $$$$ later,...
    I have to say my new favorite "toy" is ceramic boost. Holy smokes.
     
    The paint on my 17 SS is pretty good, and I've kept it that way since I got it in October...
     
    Using this as just a sealant after a careful maintenance wash... was incredible. Noticeable depth, amazing shine, and rain (the next day) FLEW off as I drove to work down 95. 
     
    I am due for my MINOR correction / polishing any week now, and I think I am going to commit to full ceramic coating treatment. So far, I'm blown away.

    Hi Vince, sorry about that stain! With a little bit of elbow grease (or a lot) and some Revive Hand Polish with a Blue Hex, you should be able to remove the stain without much trouble!
     
    If that doesn't work, move up to orange Correcting Polish with an orange Hex Grip Applicator. Let us know if that works, thanks!

    Looks to me like it should polish out.  Start with Revive and work your way to more aggressive methods.  You can also try a little clay and see if it will pull any decontamination out.

    Water etching or hard water build up. Maybe try reapplying the wheel cleaner and properly removing it. If that doesn't work I would try polishing again, maybe by hand.

    I have 3 singles
    10 doubles
    3 triples
     
    The triples shed and lint. And are super fluffy, but dont absorb well. Recently used for buttery wax removal, but they arent the best.
    Just ok with detail spray.
     
    Doubles i use for waterless wash and detail spray, they do good
    Use the singles for detail spray, i love the singles, super soft and fluffy, and work great.
     
    For wax removal, i prefer a traditional style microfiber, or something with hooks or loops in it, to grab that wax and pull it off (if that makes sense)

    vm1971 reacted to 07stanggt in Rupes vs Flex   
    I have 2 Porter Cables and a Flex 3401.PC with 4 in backing plate other with a 6. Porter c has lots of vibration but great for starting out and great to do small areas, I use one for 4 inch pads and the other with a 6 to apply sealant to give my Flex a rest. Nothing cuts better than my Flex though. I've used a Swirl Killer, not the cutting speed of the Flex but a very nice machine. I guess if you are picking a machine for home use or doing it professionally it would matter as well. If a machine stalled like mentioned above, that would not be cool !! Time is money. Here is a vette I id this weekend. This is a pic of how bad the swirls are, the pic with the detailers tape is one pass with the Flex, gen 2 Adams pads and (old) orange paint correcting polish. Car was clayed with Adams Visco clay bar,2 step paint correction, Adams B Glaze, and finished with Adams Americana. You make the call from here about the machine.

    It's been raining here for the last couple of days, Applied a new coat of LPS on the daily after a good clay and topped with buttery wax. Great beading and the water just rolls off when I start driving - the car was dry when I got to work
