0 falcaineer Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 You could probably use SW or a few ounces of APC in your wash bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rrmccabe Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 I just tried some APC and if I did not know better I would swear it stripped the CC off. I need to contact Adams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the fender next as a test and the APC is stripping the boost off there too. There appears to be no CC left on the truck. I did reach out to Adams and I am emailing back and forth with them. They changed the formula and you are to wait 2-3 minutes after the coating rainbows. The instructions that came with mine did not say that so I wiped coating off as soon as I got the rainbow effect. I am assuming I basically wiped off all the coating. I figured this out the day after and Adams was supposed to update the instructions. Here is next video after putting boost back on the hood and washing fender with APC. Edited August 2, 2018 by rrmccabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 falcaineer Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Whew! I just got the impression - my misread of your post, I think - that using the APC stripped the coating...and would've been really surprised to hear that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did exactly what I wanted. However if APC takes off CC, we have a bigger issue.? We definitely have a coating problem here. This explains why I have I have been having a hard time the last couple weeks with washing the truck, water spotting and general dissatisfaction. falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear on the former, but really sorry to hear about the latter. Hopefully you get all squared away and re-coated before long. I'm sure they'll do what they can to take care of you.
