Hi Brad, yep that would be the correct order of operations. Polishing always comes before applying any type of protection product, since if you use a polish after a wax for instance, the micro-abrasives in the polish are going to at least weaken or possibly remove the wax layer.

 

After ceramic coating, you can wash with our blue Car Shampoo, Ultra Foam Shampoo, or Waterless Wash (for light dirt and dust). Me personally, for maintaining a coated vehicle, I will stick to our Ceramic Boost rather than Detail Spray, since Ceramic Boost is in the same product family as a ceramic coating, and they're designed to work with each other. Detail Spray will not remove the coating, but is not the optimal product for a coated vehicle and could slightly detract from the water-repelling nature of the coating.

Ok that makes sense.

Thanks for your input

Ok so after taking a more in dept look into the steps:

1. Wash and Dry

2. Clay bar

3. Polish

4. Coating Prep

5. Ceramic Coating

Would this be the proper steps?

Then once those steps are final, I would just wash and dry it as needed and use detail spray over the coating?

I just want to protect the surfaces as much as possible but want it to shine as well.

I just got a 2019 HD Street Glide Special  and was wondering if doing the ceramic coating on the bike is a good idea to keep it looking new. If I apply the ceramic coating would I later apply polish or just used waterless wash and detail spray on top of the coating (not same day but after riding). The paint had zero imperfections and doesn't need any corrections so is ceramic coating what I should use or just polish and wax? I have used Adams on my truck and love the stuff but the truck doesn't get as much TLC these days. Thanks for any advice. Not the greatest pics but gives an idea of what I'm working with.

I'd post a picture but it would get taken down because its from another company.... Its the crappy stuff I used before I found out about Adam's.

 

EDIT: On 2nd thought... I'll just blur out a crappy picture I found on Google Images...

 

I like the container because it has room for the applicator to sit inside and the lid comes off easy.

 

 

I'd also like to point out when I used to use this Wax I never got a shine like that.... I suspect this was photoshopped....

 

 

Oh and I'd never accept a discount like that for this reason. Adam, you already do so much for us... I feel greedy already.

LOL.........I have the same can I used before Adams.

My container isn't the most easy container to open but there is no way I would request a refund or discount. But for a guy to offer a discount to people because the lid is tough to open..............WOW. Is this Guy not incredible?

My 1st was a 85 Toyota 4Runner. Brand new off the lot...I was a spoiled kid

Similar to this one but solid red and black

It was one tough SOB especially with what I put it through

About 5 years later I bought a 85 CJ7. I loved that thing but the engine was junk. Then moved on to GM. 93 chevy step side, 99 Z71 extra cab, and present day 08 Silverado.

No torsion bars for me. I've got coilovers.

Even with 6" lift's sometimes you will still rub a bit depending on back space of wheels, tire and wheel lift, etc.

 

1) Go with a 7" lift and/or consider a body lift in addition to a 6" suspension lift for greater clearance on nubby 35" tires

 

You can still add a body lift. Zone Offroad makes a 1.5 and 3" body lift.

1.5 is $150.00 and 3 is $374.00.

I have a 6" Suspension and the 1.5 Zone.

I guess better late than never..lol
