Excellent presentation, Joe! I've watched several videos over the past couple of months trying to figure out which sealant to apply to the New RAV4 we ordered in May. I've been a fan of Pan the Detailer for a while & after watching him use the Adam's Advanced, I knew that was what I wanted to use. I ordered the kit a few days ago & actually picked up our new Toyota yesterday. My kit was also delivered yesterday so I spent the day cleaning & claying it and am ready to apply the Adam's tomorrow. I did not polish any of the paint and don't plan to. After wiping down behind the clay, I can't find any swirl marks or fine scratches with these 70 year old eyes so the surface is ready. This will be the 3rd vehicle I've put a ceramic coat on over the past 2 years & I love how the first 2 turned out. The ceramic sealant I used was so stinking easy to put on & wipe off that it makes me a bit nervous to switch. That's why I looked for a video from Adam's tonight just so the procedure would be fresh in my head for tomorrow. You've given me the confidence to know I'll be able to do this. I will continue to watch your vids so that I'm more prepared to take care of this new polish job the way it should be. I wish you had talked a bit about using the ultraviolet light. I heard different views on whether it's smart to use one. I did order the kit with the light, but I'm not sure I'll even have to use it. The paint on our new Limited Hybrid is a dark gray metalic, so it sounds like it will be easy to see that I have applied correctly & when it's time to wipe off. It was 80 degrees & fairly humid in my garage today so it sounds like I'll have to hustle to stay ahead of it. Thanks for an excellent video!

I’ve watched these how to videos for the Adams coating for years. I finally did it today and the advanced was sooooooo easy to apply with these tips/instructions. Thank you for the time and effort you guys give for these videos.

This coating is insanely good. I have it on my 2019 mustang and will be putting it on my new 2024 mustang when I get it also. I’ve had it on my car a year now and it’s amazing. I laid the coating on thick as possibly and it has crazy performance.

Great video and just what I needed. I bought a bottle of the advanced formula that I'm applying in a few days. I have the product, the applicator pads, and a bottle of spray graphene coating just in case. I should be all set. I've read a lot of reviews of this product and my thought is, if that many people can apply it and have a great result, I should be able to do it as well. Of course my wife is a little miffed, because about 18 months ago she paid a pro $1,200 to put a ceramic coating on her new Rav4 Prime, and while she's really happy with the result, she's not happy to know that we could have done it ourselves for basically $150 all in. You live and you learn. Thanks again.

Thanks for the informative demo!

I’d never ever, reuse an applicator, after applying a coating? It hardens! Throw them out. It’s not worth ruining your new coating!

The more and more I watch ceramic coating application I am going try it.

Oh my goodness one panel at a time! That’s exactly what I was going to do instead of the whole car. Holy cow that’s awesome!

? i coated 5 sedans with graphene ceramic advanced spray coating. 6 sprays on hood 4 on roof and 2 sprays on every other panel. i used the sponge aplicator to spread as if it was a true coating. approximately 120 spays per bottle 25 sprays per sedan. 👍 great durable product. my favorite protection that's not a true glass coating. excelent stuff at a great price. keep it up Adam's.

Wish I had caught the live chat.... would really love suggestions on polishing a white vehicle. It is SOOO hard to see marks in the finish.

Hi Adams! One huge question I have for you that I feel would be helpful for many: Does your graphene coat and ceramic coating make Matte finish wraps or Matte paint jobs shiny? Or just enhance the color, make it look deeper, but not make it “shiny”

Nice video. It will help me putting ceramic coating, I have following few question You mentioned that even after applying ceramic coating it is recommended to polish and apply graphene spray coating once a year. Wont polishing step remove the first base ceramic coat completely? Can the car be washed in car wash for regular maintenance or it has to be hand washed? Which parts of car should not be polished?

As I watched you apply the spray to help remove the base layer...what happens if the spray coating is accidentally applied to the raw paint, will it prevent the advance graphene coating to not bond or not bond as well?

How long are you letting that flash? Seems like you’re waiting, quite a while? I know the ambient temperature matters, but is that hardened by now? Will you be able to wipe that off, fairly easy?

Does the Graphene Ceramic coating in an unopened bottle have a shelf life?

What if you wanted to remove the ceramic coating from your car?

I picked up the graphene advance to ceramic one of my cars. However I’m used to what I did when I used Gtechniq ceramic on my other cars. When I used Gtechniq, I used the “3 towel method to remove”. Use the first towel to wipe, 2nd towel further wipe, 3rd towel to further wipe especially past the edges of the sections to prevent high spots. Then flip the towels for the next area. So one car would end up using a total of 6 of the yellow Costco towels. If I use what came in the Adams advanced kit, can I used the yellow Costco towel for a third wipe? Would I used it after the suede towel? Or after the plush towel? Or don’t even bother to use it?

@AdamsPolishes

Жыл бұрын

Hi there, with our kits, you can use the thin suede towel to first level the coating using no pressure - essentially smearing the coating a bit without wiping much away. This will smooth it out more than the applicator itself. Then once the coating residue begins to have some tension, you can then wipe with the plush single soft towel, folded into fourths. Wipe with one side to absorb most of the residue, then flip the towel over and wipe again, more than you think you need to. We definitely agree, always wipe past where you are working to avoid high spots. Once all sides of the plush towel are saturated, you will notice it smears the product around more than it removes it, so then grab the second Single Soft in the kit to finish the rest of the vehicle. You can definitely use a 3 towel system, but be careful with some store-bought bulk towels - some of them are made much cheaper than others, and you do not want to end up scratching what you just spent hours correcting and polishing!

I’m trying to decide between the Adams, ceramic advanced coding and the Adams ceramic advanced spray coating. Does anybody have any experience with the both of these?

Hey thanks for taking the time to share this knowledge. Like your products but wary of the advance coating with some saying it’s really tough to apply correctly and avoid streaking and high spots as a DIY process. How much harder to apply is the advance versus the non advance version of the Graphene coating? And what is the best practice fail safe way to apply it? Also your Australian web site is all out of the kits (including UV light), can we order from the US site?

@AdamsPolishes

Жыл бұрын

Hi Jez, yes the Advanced coating can be more tricky to avoid streaks and high spots especially on darker colors in high humidity, hence the "advanced" name. But as long as you don't wait too long to remove it and inspect it immediately afterward in natural light to fix any issues, it's not too bad. Temporarily moving the vehicle outside on a somewhat cloudy day will sometimes show more streaks or overlap lines than on a sunny day. I like to use the Graphene Spray Coating as an aid to help fix any high spots or streaks from the 60ml bottle application. You should be able to the advanced formulas from our U.S. site, but international shipping rates can be very expensive. The silver label Graphene Ceramic Coating and Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating use a different resin that cannot be shipped by air.

My question about doing it panel by panel, let's say I do the hood today, then tomorrow I go out to the car and there is a fine layer of dust on it. Do I need to re-prep spray that new panel, or waterless wash, before I can coat the next panel? It seems to me that by doing it over a long period of time it increases the chances of the car becoming dirty and needing additional work to get it back to where it was on day one.

I just used this on a motorcycle and I’m not sure the coating was still good, the bottle was almost 2 years old and it left the UV tracer behind on half the panels even though there are no high spots, but on those areas I left the product on to long and just reapplied and removed it no problem. The only issue was the paint was black and soft and looked good after polishing but after wiping off the coating with new coating removal towels it left some light swirls, if I did this again I would use the vary plush towels to remove it or the microsuede first then a soft towel. Definitely the most tacky coating I’ve used yet but also has the highest durability claims. I just hope the customer is happy. I wish I would have used the spray coating to help remove the coating since I had it on hand.

Hi Dustin, sorry to hear about the issues! What kind of motorcycle and what type of paint finish - was it a gloss black or matte/denim black? Can you email over some pictures to tips@adamspolishes.com for our team to take a look? If the coating was stored in a room temperature environment, out of direct sunlight, and the cap on tight, it should have worked well, but you must make sure to shake up the bottle very thoroughly to mix everything back together before use. The Advanced formula can be quite sticky depending on flash time and humidity - as soon as the towel begins to have some tension on the surface is when I will wipe it away.

​@AdamsPolishes It was a Harley Davidson it was a gloss black modern 2 stage paint and clear. The odd thing is I just used the same bottle to coat my own vehicles and it went on and removed vary well so the only difference was the humidity and temp. I was applying it to a hood of a new challenger and it went off well and seems to be removing fine and I even checked after applying with 2 difference lights one with a defuser and looked fine the next day when it looked great until I pulled it outside in overcast weather and half the hood was a high spot so I had to hand polish to remove the excess and reapplied and removed it within one minute and it was fine. Temp when applied was about 85 degrees and 60/70% humidity.

To add … what’s best practice like you said should we use the larger applicators instead of the ones in the kit, and not use the suede towels just the soft plush ones instead? How many towels for a car? How many applicators? Doesn’t the product crystallise on the applicator during the couple of hours of application? Approximate flash time, how much overlap between sections and how do you avoid pushing product to non coated sections when you buff off? Also if you do sections of the hood, doesn’t that give you high spots where you overlap?? A lot of questions but I don’t want to screw up my car.

@AdamsPolishes

Жыл бұрын

The larger applicators give more even coverage with less chance of overlap lines since you will make fewer passes to coat a panel. The small applicators in the kit are nice for tight areas though. The suede towels are nice to "feather" the coating - take one towel and hold it above the surface so that it barely drags and touches the coating, and literally feather it across to level the coating - no pressure at all, so that your fingertips aren't even pushing onto the paint. Then you can wipe away with the plush towel. Fold the plush towel into fourths, so that you have 8 working sides on the towel. Wipe the coating residue with it to wipe away about 90% of it or so, then use the second plush towel to wipe the area again. If you do this process, you should only need 2 plush towels for most vehicles, except for very large trucks or suv's. When you buff it off, it will smear onto the next panel - you can't really avoid that - so always wipe 3-4 inches past the panel you are working on to avoid having high spots on the adjancent panel. If you do sections on the hood, it can give overlap lines on dark colors, yes, so try to work with the body lines of the hood, then use spray coating to remove any overlap lines that may show up. One mist of spray coating into an applicator, wipe it over the smeared area, then immediately buff it off. If you do this within the first hour or two after initial application, it should remove the high spots. If you're worried about messing up your car, practice on a side window first, or pick up a test panel at a junkyard to practice on :)

Hi there, hotter temperatures with higher humidity will have a much shorter flash time before the coating residue becomes very difficult to wipe off of the surface. You may notice that you have to remove the residue in as little as 60 seconds in this scenario, but you will want to go by look and feel - once the oily rainbow look begins to dissipate and your towel has some tension on the surface (slowly wipe from a clean panel into the coating using very light pressure - if the towel abruptly stops when it hits the coating residue, that is a good indicator to wipe it off). Curing time after wiping away should still be 24 hours before getting moisture/dew/water on the vehicle.

@AdamsPolishes

Hi Colby, first you would want to clean the soft top thoroughly with Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner and a Cockpit Brush if it is a cloth convertible top, or Eco All Purpose Cleaner or Car Shampoo if it is a vinyl top. Next allow the cloth top to fully air-dry or dry off the vinyl with an Ultra Plush Drying Towel. Then you can spray Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating Advanced directly into the cloth top, being careful not to get too much over spray onto windows, paint, etc. Use the Cockpit Brush to level and even out the coating - wipe in one direction so that you do not have any visible brush lines and everything looks even. Allow the coating to dry inside overnight, away from any moisture or dew. For a vinyl top, mist Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating Advanced into a grey applicator, then spread it evenly over the vinyl surface. After about 1-3 minutes depending on humidity, buff away the residue using a plush towel like the Borderless Grey Towel. Hope that helps!

If they are a matte finish on the wheels, the coating will change the color very slightly to a hint of a satin finish instead. If coating new wheels, we recommend having the tires mounted and balanced before coating them, as the coating can cause wheel weights to not stick as well.

How often should you put coating on the applicator? Whan do you know you need to put more coating on the aolicator? Thank you

Hi there, you will want to re-add some drops of coating onto the applicator with each new section of the vehicle that you are working on. As you are working on a section, you will begin to see and feel the applicator "drying out" of coating - when applying, if your straight line application appears to be thinning out and does not appear even, that is a good indication to re-add a few more drops to the applicator. One 60ml bottle in the kit is usually enough to coat two midsize sedans, depending on how thick you apply it.

I like the suede towels too I got two kits they both came with two different microfibers I called he said they where better and more expensive then the suede towels no there not if they where you’d be using them so I got two plush different pile microfibers so I just wipe it off it don’t spread it out

The suede towels in the kit work well, but many will push too hard with their fingers, and with it being such a super thin towel, you can then leave streak marks when wiping away the coating residue. The thicker towels like the Borderless Grey Lite or the Single Soft Towel will wipe away the coating more effectively. I like to use the suede towel with the side of my hand to gently level the coating first, then a plush towel to wipe away the residue once it begins to have some sticky tension to the towel. Make sure to shake out plush towels first, to avoid any linting into the coating 👍

hi, I've just applied the advanced uv graphene ceramic coating on my car and its amazing! do I have to use the graphene shampoo when I wash it? or can I carry on using the McLaren ceramic wash that I normally use? cheers Nath

@AdamsPolishes

Жыл бұрын

Hi Nathan, you should be able to use most pH neutral soaps as long as they don't contain wax additives, which could reduce the performance of the coating. A ceramic wash should be compatible. Our Graphene Shampoo is good to use occasionally for a more deep-clean wash while re-upping the reduced graphene oxide resins in the coating.

So it’ll dry as i drive, is that safe to do? Cheers

This can be used on all glass?

@AdamsPolishes

Жыл бұрын

Hi there, for the most part, yes. If windshield glass is heavily pitted from many years of driving, you may want to avoid application in that instance - the coating can go down into the pitting and potentially cause glare issues at night with headlights. We do not recommend using it on inside glass, or directly onto tint film.

how long of a shelf life does this have

@AdamsPolishes

Жыл бұрын

Hi Greg, if you keep the bottle sealed and out of direct sunlight in a cool storage area, you should see at least 1 year or more for shelf life. Once the seal is cracked open, the more the bottle is exposed to oxygen, the shorter the shelf life will be. Once you pour some drops onto your applicator, make sure to put the cap back on the bottle throughout the process. You can also refrigerate the bottle after use if you have a small garage fridge - just make sure the cap is completely tight first. Once the bottle is open, you could see 6 months or more for shelf life as long as it is sealed up tight and kept out of hot areas and direct sunlight.

Wash, clay, polish, if you want a dripping wet, looking coated car!👍

Really can you reuse a applatior buy new

Glad he did this with gum in his mouth lol

Slop slop slop on that gum

Good video and great info. But food for thought don't chew gum while presenting. It's a bit unprofessional and definitely annoying. Other than that, great job!

For the average Joe, all this car care maintenance is way to laborious. One literally needs a degree just to keep up with all the processes, equipment and the multitude of chemicals required for different applications. 😵‍💫😶‍🌫️🫨🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi there, we do agree that things can be confusing, but we have some kits to keep things very easy and effective too, like our Basic Wash & Wax Bucket Kit. It's a $99.99 kit that has just about everything you need to start washing, and we often have sales that can bring it down to $84.99 or $79.99 as well. adamspolishes.com/collections/car-washing-detailing-kits/products/adam-s-basic-wash-wax-kit

It takes you too long to demonstrate. I do not have that time.

Can I put 3 layers of Advance coating?

@AdamsPolishes

You could, but it is the law of diminishing returns. Anything more than 2 layers is not necessary with our formulas. The first layer will actually reject a second layer to a degree.
