0 Nathan Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 They old paint sealant lasts up to six months, the new paint sealant lasts at least 6 months! The new one is also easier to use with more shine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Chris@Adams Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Easier application, longer lasting, better protection from the elements. Smells like coconut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mariner Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I bought it for the smell alone. The old licorice smell made me sick falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 07r/t Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I bought the new sealant also, just to get the licorice smell out of my garage. Sadly, the team at Adams accidentally put a new sticker on the older licorice sealant so I received the old stuff. Oh well, it's still great stuff. falcaineer, K81Chevy and Mariner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 07r/t Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I know Adams will, that's why I have been a customer for over 10 years now. falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ls1transam Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) My order is messed up as well. I order 3 Microfiber cutting pads and they sent foam, also ordered the new paint Sealant. They sent the old.. Already called and got it straightened out. The fix to my problem is why I continue to do 99% of my business with Adams. Their customer service can't and won't be beat.

Just want to say thanks to the Adams team for getting me the new sealant without any hassle. Great customer service. Because of their mistake I will post the old sealant bottle on the pay it forward thread and pass on the old stuff. falcaineer, Mariner, zapdon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 richnmib Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 So do you down a strip wash every 6 months or so and reapply? I applied the old LPS about 6 months ago and am curious is that is what I should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, do a strip wash before a detailing session with clay, polish, sealant, etc. You'll want a naked surface to work with before those steps, including before reaplying sealant.

Or add 1-2 oz of APC to your Car Shampo, and don't let strip wash dry on the finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jakerodz7 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Or add 1-2 oz of APC to your Car Shampo, and don't let strip wash dry on the finish! It is interesting you say don't let strip wash dry on the finish, because I could have sworn Adam said it was safe to let it dry on the finish. Not that I am aiming for that but I feel like sometimes you can't help but let it dry a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was talking to Dan about it and he said to not let it dry on the finish, especially glass because it is a pain to get off. But normal Car Shampoo is fine to let dry on the finish and so is wash & wax. falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dg150 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I used it for the first ti me today. I did a strip wash, clay bar, polish, wiped down with alcohol, then applied the sealant with my flex and gray pad. I had a really hard time getting the sealant off and it didn't spread very easily with the polisher. Might try applying it by hand next time.

Spray a shot of DS over the hard to get off sealant and it will come off easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ls1transam Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I can't tell a difference in the new and old Sealant as far as application and removal. Nathan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dg150 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I tried detailing spray but it just streaked like crazy. I tried spraying it on the paint and then just misting a towel. Both ways streaked really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both ways streaked really bad. Really? I don't know what you are doing wrong...to be honest I've never had any problems with the paint sealant, and if it was a little hard I just apply more pressure or spray only one shot of detail spray then buff, of course you need to buff with a dry towel after.

0 Ls1transam Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I think a common problem with the Sealant is it's very easy to use too much. If you use the right amount it goes on thin and off very easy. If you use a little too much it becomes a pain. And you start seeing spots you missed 2-3 days later. LT1xL82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dg150 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I think I might try doing it by hand next time. I wasn't having very good luck getting it to spread with my flex. It almost seamed like it didn't really coat the paint as much as it smeared. I used setting 2 on it but it looked like I had it turned too fast and was almost like it was baking it on. It was just really dried on when I tried taking it off. It was in the garage not in the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 camp316 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) What kind of car do you have and how much was left in the bottle? I did a ram 1500 and have about 3/4 left. I actually did the whole truck with a swirl killer then buffed it out. pretty easy to buff off. Edited May 7, 2017 by camp316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did the whole truck with a swirl killer then buffed it out. pretty easy to buff off. I did my wife's escape with it. I used 1/4 of the bottle at the most. I do it on setting 4, a thing less you get some vibration on the machine and it won't spread as easy. It seemed to spread better for me on setting 2 than 3. I felt like it spread better once the pad was saturated in the sealant. How long do you let it sit on the vehicle before you wipe it off? I applied it then dressed the tires and cleaned the glass before I removed it. It sat on the paint for about 45 minutes after i was done. It was in the garage and it was about 75 degrees out.

That's your problem!! 45 minutes! The heat could also play a factor, I would do seal the car in the shade next time as well With the last couple re formulations of the paint sealant you only need to wait until it hazes up, so a few minutes, then you buff off. No wonder why you were having so many problems! Edited May 8, 2017 by Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
