You have a STUNNING Camaro there!

Don't be afraid of the Strip Wash. It's necessary every once in a while if only to keep from getting too much product build-up on your paint.  Plus it will make the claying process work much better to get any wax and/or sealant off the paint (or at least most of it) first.

Your plan is solid.  There really is no reason to put another wax on top of the Ceramic Wax  but it wouldn't hurt anything if you did.

You can put some BG on anytime to add a little temporary "pop".  You can use any or all of your other products - Rinseless Wash, Waterless Wash, H2O GG, Details Spray, Ceramic Boost - whenever you want. You'll probably get to where you come up with a combination that works best for you.

Don't be afraid to try things!

I think i got them on sale for $20 each a year ago or so. Keep your eyes open for them.

I've got two platforms for washing my F150.  Works great and can reach all the way across.

Paint Sealant maintained with H2O Guard & Gloss.  Or if you really want it quick and easy just use H2O after washing with Wash & Wax.

Beautiful Camaro!

Yes - you should use Strip Wash to remove the H2OGG and then clay before applying Paint Sealant.  The Paint Sealant works best on bare, clean paint and should be the base for everything else you apply.

You can top Paint Sealant with wax right away and maintain with H2O.  Whatever you like.

I wouldn't worry about washing the car again after claying but make sure you remove all the residue if you aren't going to polish.  I usually use an Iso Alcohol wipe to remove residue.

One bottle is WAY more than enough for one car.   Youi shouldn't have any trouble at all unless your vehicle is HUGE.

Get off my lawn!

Great.  Another "fun hater".

It's not something I would participate in but if the marketing people think it's a good idea I wouldn't gripe about it.

I prefer to purchase what I need when I need it.

But then - I don't buy Mystery Boxes either so maybe my kids are right and I'm just a "fun hater".

Bah.

Since it's black you may be able to skip the Iron Remover and go to Clay. Thoughts?

Just because you can't see the iron fallout doesn't mean it's not there.  

I think spraying Odor Neut on any suede (or any leather, for that matter) would be a very bad idea.

I don't care for beer myself but that's horrifying.

I use it for every wash.

Paint Sealant will last up to 6 months (depending on a lot of factors).  Buttery Wax will last a couple of months.  Recommended layering is to put the Sealant down first and the Wax over top.  That way you get the protection and longevity of the sealant as well as the deep look of the wax.

You won't have to wait very long.

We need to keep a little mystery in our relationship.

Dude.  That's not funny.  That's disturbing.

sVRT is SOOOOOOO much better than ArmAll.  You gotta ditch that greasy stuff.

My wife's Traverse is much more neglected.  This was cleaned up with Eco APC and junk towels/brushes, then wiped down with Interior Detailer for a little extra shine.

 

 

Is there a motor in there?

I use my foam gun every time I wash.  Don't know about saving time because I try to not be in a hurry.

I typically will hose down with just water.  Foam it up.  Let dwell for a few minutes while i fill my wash and rinse buckets.  Wash a couple of panels.  Foam the vehicle again.  Wash a few more.  Foam.  Wash.  Foam.  Wash.  Rinse it all off.

Foaming during the wash keeps the soap from drying on the car.

I have two bottles for my foam gun and I use them both.

You can turn the fan to any angle you want but I don't believe you can adjust the fan width.  And it's pretty wide.

But the Iron Remover, I think, doesn't have the same "don't let it dry" on the paint restriction...and it smells A TON better! Just my two cents.

I believe the "don't let it dry" instructions are there for both products.

Multi-sprayer on the way. No exchange necessary. They want me to keep the foamer.

I swear - sometimes the Adam's people are TOO nice....

I used the Iron Remover over the weekend. I had never deconned a car with the Wheel Cleaner but I have used it on wheels several times.

The first thing that I noticed was that while the Iron Remover has a strong odor it's not NEARLY as pervasive as the Wheel Cleaner.  I never wanted to spray Wheel Cleaner on my car just because of the odor but the Iron Remover was not bad at all.

My car is red so I was not able to see the activity but it sure feels nice after claying. And I feel like the claying process was a lot slicker as there were a lot less imbedded particles on the paint. But that's completely subjective....
