Careful with this though because it could just as easily backfire. It would be suspicious for an outsider to suddenly see a bunch of favorable reviews in one day. Not saying that's what has happened, just something to keep in mind. I think the important thing is to leave honest legitimate reviews rather then just favorable for the sake of being favorable. I myself will leave a thorough review on the glass cleaner which is one of the products "He who must not be named" desecrated with his one star review.

Was the car not worthy of the Patriot treatment? Seriously though, nice quick turnaround. I'm sure you would have liked an extra day especially being a Ferrari.

Pick up some utility towels. I didn't think I would need them until I got some in a weekly special. They are soft and very absorbant. Excellent for the door jams and for interior dash and side panels.

Good point. In a few weeks It'll be time for another full detail on my main car so I'll be doing the works on it but replacing AQS with MSS this time around. To my eyes I'm seeing the AQS I put on it 4.5 months back, start to break down and lose protection, which is what prompted my initial question.

Hmm, doesn't make much sense to me that a spray on sealant performs better than something that needs to cure for 12 hours. Well I put MSS on one of my cars a few months back so I'm going to be comparing it with the cars I've applied AQS on.

I do this all the time actually. I make sure to wear latex gloves though because the brake dust and grime from the wheels get on your hands and it's difficult to wash off. Also I don't use the waterless towels because, as Jim mentioned, I don't want my good towels getting trashed. I use old microfiber cloths or my ripped wife-beater undershirts then toss them when I'm done. Since the wheels are protected with AQS, they clean easy. This all depends how dirty your wheels get, since your car is garaged and isn't driven much, you might be able to get by without the gloves and use the waterless towels. Mine is driven almost daily so I get some accumulation of brake dust by the end of the week.

I read a lot on here how everyone is really big on the Quick Sealant due to the ease of use, quick application, and short cure time, not to mention versatility since it can be applied on wheels, grills, and trim. Ok, so my question is this. If I had the time for a MSS application, is it still worth applying over the QS? I guess what I'm getting at is, is the "better" protection and increased longevity I would get out of the MSS over the QS worth the long cure time? P.S. I put the word better in quotes because I'm making an assumption. You're welcome to correct me on this.

Yea, I bought into this hype. I got the one that's supposedly specially formulated for the extra suds needed for the foam canon from those other guys. It does foam up nicely but the suds from Adams is just as good plus you can't beat the smell.

Thanks, you answered my question.

Ok, so how would you put it back on if one wishes to. The reason I ask is I remember reading a detail write up on a vintage porsche where the porsche letter badge had so much buildup of old polish that he removed the badge, got rid of all of the gunk built up from over the years and reapplied it. So is possible to reapply it or does it end up so warped from using the heat gun that its no good anymore?

One question I have that I didn't find in Dylan's debadging writeup and haven't seen it answered elsewhere is, how do you put it back on if you have changed your mind and want it back on or if you take it off for cleaning purposes?

It doesn't seem like he's heard of micro fiber towels. Also in all of the videos in that series he makes it a point to say that the products he is using are cheap and inexpensive and could be found anywhere like the 409 or fantastik or the towels he uses. I imagine you wouldn't want to use cheap products on a Bentley, lol.

If I may share my current experience as it seems it goes along the lines of what the OP is describing and it's also my question except that I am using a PC and not the Flex. So my findings: I do a pass of Severe Swirl Remover and I still see swirls. I do a second pass and it's better but I still see swirls. I'm a little confused at this point about what I'm supposed to be seeing but I move down to Swirl and Haze Remover and I then see a big difference after one pass with that. My current combination that I'm finding is producing the result to my liking is: Severe Swirl Remover with Green Pad - 2 passes Swirl and Haze Remover with orange pad - 2 passes Fine Machine polish with white pad - 1 pass It's taking a long time but that's the combination I found that is working for me to my satisfaction on the current car I'm polishing. My confusion is what to expect from SSR because it seems to my eye that SHR is making a bigger difference than the SSR did. So back to the question, if we still see swirls after Severe Swirl Remover with Green Pad, should we stay until they are gone or move on? I'll take pictures if you guys want after each pass, just give me an hour. Although there's not much light in my garage so pictures might not show clearly what I'm seeing.

Man, wish I would have had some yesterday to use. Would have saved me a lot of work claying. Didn't know it can be used this way either.

WOW, saw this just after I posted. That does look nice, especially the SS.

It is true though, it's hard to get silver to "pop" or get that "wet" look. I took these on two separate occasions. Both occasions the same day I washed, clay'd, quick seal'd, glaze'd, and waxed with americana. The car looks clean and a bit glossy but they don't have the same effect (not even close) as a black or red color would.

Good luck. It's all sunny here in san diego so that's one good thing to look forward to.

Yes, I've seen those videos several times over as well as countless videos from other people explaining their detailing. This person was the only one I saw, besides the AMMO guy, using shampoo as a lubricant for clay bar so it struck me as odd.

No, not him. The video I was referring to was from the guys who make Gloss-It Clay Bar.

What do you guys think about using shampoo as a lube for the clay bar? I've clay bar'd four cars since I got into the whole detailing world and adams products earlier this year. The first two cars I used detail spray as lubricant. The 3rd car I did it right after washing the car while it was still wet using just water as lubricant. Then in between, I watched a youtube video where the detailer had his soap bucket and mitt ready and he would clay bar one section at a time using the soap as the lubricant. I was curious so I tried this method on the 4th car just yesterday.
