  1. He hasn't mentioned using any waxes... Wash and Wax has no wax additive, it is synthetic silica
  2. Adam actually said 4 months.... hard to imagine the Wash & Wax being that durable when Guard and Gloss is a 2-3 month max product. Can't speak for it yet as I haven't gotten a chance to try it though!
  3. I heard Adam mention on Troy Sowers' YouTube interview that they also do products for Cadillac now. It would appear they are just Adam's products relabeled for Cadillac.
  4. Awesome, keep us updated on the durability, I'm very interested in that!
  5. Good looking beading. Was the Wash & Wax the only LSP on the vehicle? Or was there another sealant or wax working "behind the scenes?"
  6. Claying will still not completely remove a sealant. Claying is very mildly abrasive which is why it can be done without scratching a vehicle. A light polishing is the only true way to fully remove a sealant. I'll test for myself if you don't have time to do it - but there will be a difference. Hopefully I can find some time to do a test for everyone.
  7. I think a good test would be to use a finishing polish on a finishing pad on one side of the hood and compare the beading/sheeting properties of each side. Also could test doing an IPA wipe-down of the hood and see what happens (after the strip wash). A lot of these "strip wash" products have surfactants that mask the water repellency properties instead of truly removing them. A good sealant is not easily "chemically" removed. Abrasion is usually needed.
  8. 1. Leather and Interior Cleaner is what you want if your interior has any soiling and needs true cleaning. It can then be followed up with Leather Conditioner for protection. Interior Detailer is best for maintenance cleaning, when there are smudges or light dirt that just to be "tidied up". 2. Deep Wheel Cleaner's name was changed to just Wheel Cleaner. The formula has been improved as well. Wheel Cleaner is an awesome product but is not necessary each time you clean your wheels. If you use a sealant on the wheels, simple car shampoo will clean them with ease. 3. H20 Guard and Gloss (spray sealant) realistically lasts around 2 months. Some can get slightly longer or slightly less due to a number of conditions.
  9. You can yes, but it's kind of an expensive product to use as a presoak when a bottle of diluted rinseless is so cheap. There are other good uses for it that maybe you should try: Door jamb wipe down, interior wipe down, glass cleaner replacement for interior etc.
  10. I believe Super VRT was recently reduced to 19.99 from 24.99. I imagine the GM version still being 24.99 is just an oversight.
  11. Unfortunately as others have stated, this is just a dealership money making scheme. It is nothing more than a sealant that they likely take 20 minutes to apply before you drive off in your new vehicle. I've seen dealers charge over a grand for the service. What you're paying for is a warranty that is typically only good if you take it in for maintenance. Hopefully you didn't pay for it, but if you did: my suggestion is to just strip it off and use your own products as they'll be far better.
  12. Like a ceramic coating? That will be fine. Sealant most likely fine. Wax could definitely have been affected however. Not that it matters though if you have both a ceramic coating and sealant.
  13. I've tried this and it just doesn't foam as well as mixing each batch as you go, maybe it's because I tend to use hot water in the foam gun. The hot water definitely gets better suds. To answer your question, if you have a 32oz foam gun just multiply how much soap you put in that times 4. Or a 16oz foam gun multiply times 8.
  14. An IPA wipe down should always be done prior to waxing or sealing the paint to insure a proper bond and max durability - whether it is post polishing or post claying. It takes 5 minutes and is well worth it. Prior to polishing however is not totally necessary.
  15. Shark Grey is a great color on the C7, I detail one on a regular basis and love it! Enjoy!
