Finished My Ceramic Coating .... Finally
Beemer replied to SS LeadFoot's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Besides that: If the ceramic coating can't keep a carefully applied indoor car cover from swirling up your paint then what's the point of a ceramic coating? -
Finished My Ceramic Coating .... Finally
Beemer replied to SS LeadFoot's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
This argument comes up from time to time with sides taken immediately. (Kinda like the whole "California Car Duster" argument.) I cover my Camaro often. Only in the garage when it's just been washed and I'm not planning on getting it out again for a while. It's over 10 years old and looks better than showroom. It really depends on the quality of the cover and how you use it. -
Adam’s Ceramic Rinse + Coat
Beemer replied to jeverton's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Read the info on the Amazon page. Dan probably can't talk about it much here yet. But - yes. It's for coated vehicles. -
Adam’s Ceramic Rinse + Coat
Beemer replied to jeverton's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
No problem. I'm not a pressure wash guy but I know A LOT of your customers use them. I also haven't gone fully ceramic yet (I use the Ceramic Paste Wax, Boost and CS3 - and I just ordered new wheels for the pickup along with the Ceramic Wheel Kit) but I know I'll be there before long. I'm perfectly happy with the current Rinseless Wash. It works just fine with my current regiment. Keep it up! -

I was hoping this would be a ceramic version of Rinseless Wash but apparently not. -
I have a confession to make...I hate washing my vehicle! *new user*
Beemer replied to ADG's topic in New Member Check-In
If you "hate" washing you car you might be in the wong place. Maybe some great products and sound procedures will help change your mind but most of us LOVE washing and detailing cars. -
What to maintain Americana between waxes
Beemer replied to 2021 C63S's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Honestly - your regiment (seal, glaze, wax) was the "go-to" procedure for a Show Car Finish recommended by Adam for a long time. In fact - I used this exact same procedure on my Camaro for YEARS. Of course - it's garage kept and not a daily driver so it didn't see as much of the outside world as yours does. I have changed up the LSP to Patriot and now use the Ceramic Paste Wax but, to be honest, I'm not sure it's any better than old trusty Americana. They ALL look fantastic on my car but I think Americana was the easiest to use but the differences are slight and need a more discerning eye than I have. As far as maintenance products go I have tried a few and been happy with the look of all of them but some are easier to use than others. I have never had a problem with any (other than the 1st version of Boost which streaked a little) and they all look great! It's hard to beat Spray Wax for ease of use. It's like Detail Spray on steroids. Looks fantastic over Americana. H2OGG takes a little more work but it lasts longer and you can use it as a drying aid or apply already dry. Looks fantastic over Americana. Your best bet it to get both and try them out. See which works best for you. -

iK FOAM Pro 12 dilutions
Beemer replied to chops1sc's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I've used mine twice. I put about 3 oz of Mega Foam in it and filled with water to about the seam in the tank. Worked great. I did have to pump it with the air compressor a couple of times before I finished the pick-up but it's a lot better than hand-pumping. -

Ha! That's me! I promise - I'm not that scary in real life. My son-in-law did some major photochoping to get that photo. Thanks.

One Take Tuesday #01: Polishing and Paint Correction
Beemer replied to Dan@Adams's topic in The Adam's Detailing Library
I understand why the video was "sped up" during the actually polishing but it might be helpful to show some of the polishing in real-time to give an indication of the "pace". That was something I struggled with when I first started machine polishing. -
If they've been there for a while it's probably impossible to remove the spots without ruining the vinyl. Vinyl that was damaged is best replaced. If the spots are fairly recent you should be able to minimize them with REVIVE or another fine polish.

Anyone see or use the Adam's iK Pro Foam 12 Sprayer yet? https://adamspolishes.com/collections/new-just-in/products/adams-ik-pro-foam-12-sprayer I'd be very interested in this if I can see it in action.

Swirl Marks Detection
Beemer replied to CrazeyDetail's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
If I can't see it - it's not there. If my wife sees it she keeps her mouth shut. -
Seems like a classic case of "solution without a problem".
