I'll give you my experience. My Viper is CQuartz coated, and I find the (pink) Detail Spray does not play nice with it. However, the (purple) Matte Detail Spray does. Usually, I just go over it with Ceramic Boost, and call it done.

CB 2.0 as a standalone is absolute magic.  Incredibly easy to apply, incredible depth and gloss, incredible beading, and it adds a level of slickness that I honestly didn't think was even possible.  I can't comment on longevity because I've only had it on for a couple weeks but I don't foresee any issues in that area.

This. I just about said this same thing in another thread. A game changer for me. I use it as a QD as well.....an amazing product.

I have a gallon of DS at least 2 years old, and it is fine. Shake it up, and use. Works perfectly.

I just answered this in another thread, but CB has been a game changer for me. I use as a standalone on my Ram, and it looks great. It has (almost) replaced Detail Spray (and other brands of QDs I have) as a quick detailer as well. It's a very versatile product.

I'm sure Spray Wax will be used like any other of the excellent spray waxes on the market. This is unfortunately a product that has LOTS of excellent competition. I hope it will stand out in some way against the literally 100s of spray waxes on the market.

I use the Ceramic Boost as a stand alone on my truck. In fact, it has mostly replaced Detail Spray as a QD for me as well.  Haven't tried the new Spray Wax, but it seems that it is basically Detail Spray maybe with a little more carnauba?

Ceramic Boost was a game changer for me, and is my "go to" after the Ram is washed and clean.

I have used it as a stand alone on my 16 Ram for a year now (original formula, which I still have a lot) with excellent results. Beads water for weeks, even when I clean the truck with a waterless and then detail spray.  Also works well on my Viper, which has C Quarz. I find it slightly easier to apply then CarPro Reload.

I'm a Boost believer.

Just bumping this. Another year, another great showing by the whole Adam's crew this past weekend. I've never seen the place so busy! Great show special pricing, which I took advantage of bought a foam gun shampoo, leather conditioner and a few other goodies!

I have and use both. I originally bought Reload to use as a topper for my CQuartz coated Viper. (This was before Ceramic Boost was introduced, or any of the many other brands' equivalent products came on the market). Last summer at Carlisle, I bought a bottle of Ceramic Boost to try. I have used it on the Viper, and use it as a stand-alone on my '16 Ram, which is not coated. Honestly, I can tell very little difference between the two.

They both work as well on both vehicles, with the Ceramic Boost being a little easier to apply. It is very slick and leaves a nice finish. I just went over the truck just now (been raining, again!) with Detail Spray, and it seems glossier than usual, so perhaps the Detail Spray likes the Ceramic Boost.]]

Clear as mud?

As an update, it's rainy drizzly with wet roads here today and of course, today was my appointment for my annual state inspection for the Viper. When I got it back home, it needed some cleanup. About a 23 mile round trip to my dealer for the service.

20 minutes with the Matte Detailer, and it looks great. Best new Adam's product in years. Period.

I use the Matte Detailer on my CQuartz coated Viper. Works wonderfully for a quick clean up. Ceramic Boost periodically.

I use Ceramic Boost as a stand-alone on my non-coated Ram. I use both Adam's Detail Spray, and Optimum Detail Spray, both products have gloss enhancers, with no ill effects, and the truck looks great.

I use Ceramic Boost on my non-coated Ram, and it works like a dream. I've posted about this before - it's easy to use, too. I even use it in direct sunlight. I like it as much or better than my CarPro Reload. 

And yes, I use Adam's Detail Spray, and Optimum Detail spray over it. Both work well, as does Adam's Matte Detailer.

Viper is CQuartz coated, and I use Ceramic Boost and Matte Detailer on that.

To clear up even more confusion, spray wax is so outdated, step it up a notch with some ceramic boost. Your car doesn't need to be ceramic coated, you can use Adams ceramic boost as a standalone product, for the ultimate protection on your classics.

This. I use it on my coated Viper, but I also use it stand-alone on my Ram. Good stuff.

Hard to describe, but it smells good.

I really do think it's an excellent all-around detailer. As for interior - I'm not a fan a dedicated interior detail spays, Adams or anyone's. Any good exterior detailer (some detailers even use spray wax, like Megs) will work on the inside. I think both of Adam's sprays work very well on every surface. If I'm at a show, and want some bling inside, I'll use regular Detail Spray. If I'm just wiping down, I may use the Matte.

I wanted to put the word out that the Matte Spray is an excellent detailer for all finishes, not just coated, or vinyl stripes, or matte. I haven't seen much buzz for it, even on this forum. So here's the buzz!

This is some good stuff. Might be my new favorite Adam's product. My 2013 Viper has CQuartz, and not all detailers play nice with it. After I go over it with CarPro Reload (and now Adam's Ceramic Boost), I needed something to get the dust off it from my garage.

Adam's Detail Spray, while perhaps my fav, doesn't really place nice with it. Megs 34 does, and it's what I had been using. Last month at Carlisle, I picked up a bottle of Matte Detailer, and wow! The car got rained on a good part of Friday at Carlisle, and the Matte Spray, goes on slick, and cleaned the car up beautifully.  I even like it for going over the interior as well (in between treatments of Adam's Leather Conditioner). 

Anyone want a gallon of Megs 34? Just kidding, I'll keep it, but this new Matte Spray is really a multi-use product - for coated vehicles, and anytime you need a slick (did I mention this was slick) detail spray to get whatever road crap you just picked up! I keep a bottle in the Viper, and when I use up the Poorboy's I keep in my truck now (for emergency cleanup) I'l put a bottle in there as well.

This is not just for Matte finishes. I wanted to get the word out for more people to try it.

Yes! So I went over the Viper (CQuarz coated) with the Boost, and some with the Reload, on differet panels. Same with the Ram (not coated). Honestly they are both great products. Boost seems slightly slicker, and seems to flash more quickly than the Reload.

I will continue to use both, with perhaps a slight edge to the Boost. Would love to order a gallon, but not available in gallons yet.

I highly recommend the Boost!

Ceramic boost isn't currently offered in gallons

Good to know. I'm sure it will be eventually.

I was considering getting an non additive DS, I quite enjoy the regular Adams DS but would like something that is easier to work with in the sun, since the carnauba in the Adams makes it a tad bit more difficult to work with.  Does the matte detail spray seem to be easy to work with in the sun?

Yes! Used it in the sun and heat at Carlisle, and I really was quite impressed with it. Very easy to use. I'm going to buy a gallon of this stuff!

I'm talking about Megs 34 Final Inspection from their professional side. Like the new Matte Spray, it has no additives (body shop safe) but is nice and slick. Still in my arsenal, but the new Adam's Matte is really really nice!

Adams Detail Spray is stil my main spray. Use Megs 34 for certain applications, but the new Matte Spray which I just tried just may replace the 34!

So, I tried the Ceramic Boost - on both the Viper and the Ram. I did side by side of it versus CarPro Reload. Bottom line, they are both great products, with the slight edge to....Ceramic Boost! Made both vehicle look great!  Wil be ordering a gallon of this as well!

Dave, I want say thank you to you and your daughter for answering my questions, and the excellent service. And also thanks for taking care of me after I broke the nozzle on the first bottle of Matte Detailer.

 I'll tell the forum here what I told you - the new Matte Detailer is THE shiznet on my CQuartz-coated Viper. It goes on slick and really brings out the shine. After the monsoon rains we got on Friday morning at Carlisle, the Matte Detailer cleaned the car right up! Folks, this stuff might be my new fav Adams product. Gotta buy a couple gallons of this!

I have yet to try the Ceramic Boost, but I did buy some

Hi Scott.  Your original post about meeting up with the Adam's guys at Carlisle is what prompted my question for the forum.  Let me know how you make out with the Matte Detailer. I'm curious.  I've got a bottle of HydrO2 that I bought to use strictly on my son's Challenger.  I haven't used it yet as it's only been a few months since the coating was applied and the car has only been washed once since then. I will also pick up the Ceramic Boost in my next order.   

Will do.

See you on Thursday Rich. I always the noodnick who wants to buy stuff before you're completely set up!
