You have nothing to worry about. When I coated my wheels the coating did not get super sticky but I could feel a difference. I also waited 30 seconds before removing. I found that if I waited longer then 60 seconds it became harder to remove. My wheels are black with a satin finish.

Your welcome and thank you for stopping by! It was a pleasure to meet you and your friends. It was very busy when you where there! It was a great show and I hope to see you in the future! Travis

Welcome!That's a great color! Any pictures?

Mine came today too! I am really impressed with it.

Be careful with clay and vinyl stripes you could marr it. I had a 2012 Camaro with glossy white vinyl stripes. I too was trying to remove a few spots of rail dust, which came out but marred the vinyl. Not real noticeable, but it was there.

You can get one kit but will have to get more applicators and towels (the kit comes with two each). You should have enough of the paint prep and boost for the wheels and paint. What kind of vehicle are you getting?

Congratulations!

That turned out great!

Welcome!Nice Camaro!

Welcome!

For fly droppings I use a plastic razor blade AND LOTS of detail spray. GENTLY go over the fly droppings then clay. Next, find a way to get rid of the flies!

Any pictures?

Congratulations Kevin RN!

Welcome!

Great job and write up!

I would clay then try just using the Finishing polish. If needed step up to the Correcting polish. Nice Nova!!

Great review!

In preparation for the upcoming Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle, PA I wanted to clean up our 2015 Hellcat wheels. We get a lot of brake dust (particularly in the front) which makes cleaning difficult. This is what the wheel looked like before I started but after I washed it like I normally do on the car. I started with Adams Wheel Cleaner to pull the iron off the wheel. I then washed the wheel again with Adams Strip Wash. I clayed both the front and barrel of the wheel. After claying I used Adams Finishing Polish, a white foam pad, and my Rupes Mini to polish the barrel. I used a blue hex applicator with the Finishing Polish on the front of the wheel. I washed the wheel again to help remove the polish. I next moved on to the Adams Coating Prep and wiped down both sides of the wheel. I then applied the Adams Ceramic Wheel Coating per the instructions. It went on and off super easy. To avoid high spots I rolled each wheel out into the sun so I could see what I missed. I also coated the calipers the same way (minus the polish). This is after the coating and a coating of Adams Ceramic Boost. Caliper after the coating was applied I am more then pleased with the results! The coating itself was super easy to apply. The hard part is getting the wheel completely cleaned and polished. I can't wait to get the wheels dirty so I can see how well they clean up!

Congratulations!! Have you decided what area of nursing to pursue? I have been a nurse in a Emergency Department for 16 years (2 years on a helicopter) and would not work anywhere else.

I think this is the perfect type of vehicle to coat. Coatings offer the best protection and require less maintenance. How much time do you have with the Xterra?

We will be there. We are only 50 miles north. We schedule a weeks vacation around this show.

Waterless Wash is a product to use on your car when there is small amount of dirt on your car. (Your example of cleaning bugs of the front of your car is a perfect example.) It does not require diluting. It will leave a small amount of shine. Rinseless Wash is a product that you add to water in a bucket and use towels to wash your car without a hose (rinseless wash). It can also be used diluted in a spray bottle and used like waterless wash. It too will leave a slight shine behind. The Matte Detailer spray is a new product that is designed for matte or satin finishes. This is used when there is a small amount of dirt on the car. It will not leave a shine behind. For you I would continue using the Waterless Wash to clean your M3. Make sure you have plenty of the microfiber waterless wash towels to safely remove the dirt and follow good technique. My wife and I want to drive the The Tail of the Dragon sometime!

Welcome to the forum!

Before we bought our house I used to put 3 buckets in the back of the car and go to the coin wash. I went really early in the morning to avoid people. I always wondered if someone would say something to me about it but they never did.
