Detailed!

Finally was able to get my new ride detailed. I used Adam's Polishes products. Started with a clay bar followed up with a full paint correction. Finally I installed their Graphene Ceramic coating.

Top pic is a calendar contender. (in other words, I saved it to my calendar pics folder: I currently have 309 in there)

How was their graphene coating to apply?

 

[RavenSon26]

Pretty easy. If you can wax your car you can apply their coating. I have been using Adam's products for over 13 years now. I've never been disappointed.

It wasn't sticky to buff off? How many coats did you do?

 

[RavenSon26]

It came off pretty easy. Only needed one coat.

That looks good. I was rather shocked at the amount of orange peel on my Chroma Red GT2. I'm going to need to get my buffer and buffing supplies from my ex-wife, and do a paint correction.

If you are going to do that, I recommend doing ceramic coating after... makes keeping it clean a breeze!

Used Adams Advanced Graphene ceramic coating in June on my 2022 Ascot green, I was going to the car wash every week, now I barely go once a month. She just looks that good. It’s not cheap, I think that little bottle was just over $100 bucks- using a 20% off coupon that always seems available, but it’s good for 2-3 cars or coatings. Considering a car wash is between $10-12 bucks for the mid-grade one, I’ll actually be saving money in no time, if not already…The guy who did it for me specifically said not to get the highest price wash, as the extra cleaners/step will diminish the life of the coating- the guy works there and does detailing on the side, so I have little reason to question his advice. He charged me $400, but if it’s just as easy to wax a car, then I guess it’s not a great price, but 3 places quoted me over $1k to do it, so there’s that….

Correct get the cheapest touch less wash, the waxes will "pollute" the coating (cheap wax on top of great coating) you can do a strip wash to get rid of the wax and not a bad idea to do that or an APC pre wash once or twice a year to remove stubborn traffic film
