I'd love to get the new Ceramic Spray!

I'm no expert but - in my experience - compressed air is more about PRESSURE than VOLUME.  I don't think it works NEARLY as well as a Sidekick or MasterBlaster (or even a leaf blower) for drying a car,
 
 

Woah you're from the Future?! Tell us the cool stuff Adam's has out that we don't know about yet! 😆

Friends:  We started this shine-therapy forum over a decade ago!  Time sure does fly....doesn't it?
 
Thank you for being here, and participating in this shine-crazy community.  Thank you for your business, and for voting for products you like and don't like with your dollars.  Thank you for helping us create better solutions.  Thank you for calling attention to areas or products we can improve.  Thank you for helping us grow this business exponentially, I'm humbled beyond words!
 
Please, SMILE while you type....
 
Thank you for not using this forum as a place to air negativity.  Thank you for always being respectful of other members, and our employees.  Thank you for  using detailing, your therapist, or exercise, or meditation to work through your issues, when you feel like life is tough.  Thank you for making AdamsForums a positive and pleasant place to hang out!
 
In 2008, when we started this forum, we had 6 employees, and a few thousand customers.  Today, we have 125 employees, and over 300,000 customers.  One thing we have learned, for absolute certain:  WE ARE NOT PERFECT!  There was exactly one person who ever walked earth, who was perfect.  We are not Him.  We are not even close.  
 
If you are feeling perfect, like your finish is 100% swirl free, and never needs cleaning or polishing, if you feel like your poop doesn't stink, like you walk on water, and are comfortable coming here to blast members or the company who pays to maintain this community, please, don't.    Need to get some negativity off your chest?  Find a dirty or swirled up car to detail.  Find a therapist, let out a primal scream, go for a run or hike, a mountain bike ride, go ski or snowboard if that's your winter kick, like it is mine! 
 
There are many ways people like to get negative energy out. Blasting other members, or this enthusiast forum sponsor probably won't help you turn your frown upside down.  Please come, hang out, be kind, give and get detailing help, and understand:  We want to earn your business, but more importantly, we want your kindness. 
 
Vote for the products you like with your dollars.  Don't buy stuff you don't like, but please, don't bash them.  If you cannot understand the marketing team's decision to bring on a particular product, you are probably not the target customer!   I have never watched TV, don't buy soda or potato chips, and don't follow sports.  Do I hang out bashing Coke, Ruffles, or slamming the Super Bowl?  Absolutely not, it's just not worth the negative energy!  (Plus, my kids, wife, and employees need me to be a positive influence.)
 
 
So friends, I've instructed our incredible  Forum Leadership Team to permanently remove AF members who regularly post negativity.  Threads that are overrun with negativity are also going to be deleted, unless they offer detailing solutions or help to members searching.
 
As the only AdamsForums sponsor, we want people to feel great about being here.  
 
Thanks for your business, and your smile, and here is my Primal Scream, after getting this off my chest!
 
 
 

Yep.  Listen to Shane.  He's the man.

Here's a better order (IMHO):
 
1.  Rinse car off.
2.  Iron Remover
3.  Strip Wash
4.  Clay
5.  Polish
6.  Coating Prep
7.  Coating
 
And here's a smaller version of your sig pic.
 

 
Good luck!
 

I applied Tire Armor to my Camaro in November.  It's been over two months now.
 
Yesterday I gave the Camaro a Rinseless Wash.  First time I washed the car since November.  (It was a pretty wet December here in Texas so I didn't have it out much but I put at least a couple of hundred miles on it when the weather was nice.)
 
After the Risneless Wash I used Waterless Wash on the Wheels and Tires. Just wiped the tires down with Waterless Wash and a Utility Towel.  I think they look FANTASTIC!  You can see how dirty the tires were (I have a 100 yard long dirt driveway) because the treads and wheel wells are still dirty.  Only wiped down the sidewalls.
 

 
So - to sum up - Tire Armor works GREAT and last a long time on a garage kept, weekend driven, good weather car.  Light cleanup on the tires becomes super easy.
 
The jury is still out on the daily driver, filthy F150.

There are plenty of Adam's products that are perfect for your situation.  I agree - a coating is not for everyone.  I haven't made the leap either - but the spray coating is very intriguing and I'll probably give it a try in the summer.
 
Don't feel like you have to use every Adam's product.  They are broadening the product line but the more traditional waxes and sealants are still great for an ungaraged daily driver.
 
Sometimes it can be depressing when an exciting new product comes out and it just won't work for you.  Try not to take it personally and use what DOES work for you.

I like to use the front of the towel on the front of the car and the back of the towel on the back of the car.
 
But sometimes I switch it up just to keep things interesting.

Got my 16oz kit , but the smaller bottle is on back order.  
 
A tip for those applying the Ceramic Spray on your ride's windows. Be sure your side windows are UP and the doors are OPEN so you can get the whole window and don't miss the edges.   Otherwise, you'll end up with a rim around the window. 

I saw someone post some awesome illustrations of their car (on Facebook) over the New Year holiday, and found out that the graphic artist will do them for a super reasonable fee... so of course I had to get one (actually more than one) of my 1965 Rangoon-Red Babied-with-Adams-products Mustang. He finished and sent them today. I'm posting the original pic he used to and lo-resolution versions of the final images because they show his Facebook profile (hope that's not a no-no here), so you can see his other work, and maybe get him to do one for you! 

DON'T assume that ca$h found while cleaning someone else's interior  was left for you as a "pre-tip".
 
People get a little touchy about that.
 
Especially family members....
 
 

The problem is that most of what you're asking is subjective.  There are so many variable that it's very difficult to tell someone which is "better".  Either application or appearance.
 
You said it yourself - some people HATE H2Ogg and some LOVE it.  It depends on the user experience, the paint color, the paint condition, the weather, the amount of time available, preferred process, expectations, etc.  Too many variables for absolutes.  
 
People on this forum are not afraid to make recommendations / suggestions and share experiences / impressions.  I think that's the second best way to learn - following personal experience.

Actually - if you have WAY too much, you're toast.
