The weather turned out great for the Ford Nationals in Carlisle, PA! Here are some pictures from the event.

The Adams tent was busy all day.

You are not alone. I am looking at getting my third 48 x 72 cabinet.

I did two cars over a month ago and have had no problems. I washed the cars after I polished them. I then used the coating prep prior to applying the coating.

I will be there. I really like this show. I always see a lot of great Ford's there! Set up day for Adams is Thursday. I believe the forecast for next week so far is good.

I was able to coat two, four door cars and still have some coating left in the bottle. They are not my cars but I take care of them. They sit out 24/7 so when I wash them again ( 1 to 2 months later) I will apply the Boost.

When applying I put about three drops on the applicator and spread over a 2x2 area. I did notice that it rainbowed quickly. If I left it on too long it became hard to wipe off. The rainbow appeared at maybe 15 seconds or so. I used light pressure to wipe off the product.

I was a little anxious when applying the coating but found that is super easy to apply. The prep work is the most important part of the process.

     As mentioned steam clean as much as you can. Change the cabin air filter. Clean all the plastic interior parts with Adams Interior Detailer or Adams Leather and Interior Cleaner. Followed by Adams Leather Conditioner.  An ozone machine may help you with the smoke smell as well. Clay, compound, and polish would revive the paint. I would like to see the end result! What was the music in the background?

Looks great! I just pulled my rims on my Hellcat this weekend to clean. I made the decision to go with ceramic brake pads. I get a crazy amount of brake dust. Once I get the new pads on I am going to coat my rims and calipers.

Nice work and write up!

Congratulations! Did your dealer keep you updated on the build status? Were you able to see it come off the truck? Your going to like the paint coating!

No worries, it will not hurt the machine.

Foam Canon available at the show, hopefully stopping by.

Both the Adams Foam Cannon and new Adams Foam Gun are available!

I see the 32 oz detail sprays, I thought Adams didn't sell 32 oz anymore?

 They are leftovers. Once sold they are gone.

     My wife and I helped the Adams team set up for this years Carlisle Events Spring Car Swap Meet in Carlisle, PA. We had a great time and learned a lot! The swap meet runs through Sunday. Adams also attends other events through the Summer and into the Fall here.

We had some rain showers but nothing that lasted.

Almost done setting up.

Welcome from a fellow Mopar fan! Great looking Challenger.

Post some pictures when you are done. I grew up with a 1940 Plymouth. How does it run?

Those are some good numbers!

Or if you're a bit less enthusiastic, just use the Ceramic Boost alone.

I went ahead and used the Ceramic Coating to the door jams.

I am more then impressed with the way the Ceramic Coating turned out! The coating was super easy to put on. The prep work was were I spent most of my time. This car sits out 24/7 and has 30,000 miles on it.

What I did:

Adams Strip Wash

Clay

Adams Paint Correcting Polish

Adams Finishing Polish

Adams Strip Wash

Adams Coating Prep

Adams Ceramic Coating

Adams  Ceramic Boost (24 hours later)

Adams Glass Sealant to all glass.

Adams VRT to tires

Adams Undercarriage Spray to wheel wells

Adams Quick Sealant to wheels (I will soon be out of this!)

Adams Metal Polish #1 and #2 to exhaust tip

I am planning on putting this on our Ram 1500 the next time it needs corrected. Maybe in the fall. I am really glad I went ahead and tried the coating.

What a car! The paint came out great! It looks like Chris was helping out too. What a great experience to be able to work on that type of car at Barrett-Jackson. I was able to watch some of the auction. Thanks for the pictures and write-up.

How do you apply the ceramic coating to the door jams? Can I apply as directed and then close the door? Will closing the door before it is fully cured effect the coating?

Congratulations! Yellow is a great color for a mustang! Automatic or manual?

Nice work!!!

See you in April! I'm interested in the coatings.

Car came out great!

I just got home today after being stuck at work the past two days. We got 21+ inches where I live in Pennsylvania. I was lucky enough to get a parking spot in the parking garage. These cars were not so lucky.

Nice job, I didn't know you could just use a one step polish...

You can do just a one-step polish with Adams Paint Correcting Polish. The owner wanted the car to look good for Spring and Summer sales calls. The paint was in need of a polish but not TOO bad that it needed compounded. Adams Paint Correcting Polish is able to take out most of the scratches with minimal passes.

Here are some pictures from a detail that I did back in June 2014 of a 1995 BMW Z3  using just Adams Paint Correcting Polish.

In contrast, in December I used Adams Paint Correcting Polish and Adams Finishing Polish on my Challengers. These cars I do take to shows and I want that extra shine that the Finishing Polish will bring.
