I started with cleaning the interior. I used my new Adam's microfiber towels and interior cleaning stuff I purchased last week. The microfiber towels were great. Much better than the stuff I've purchased from Wal-Mart before. I then washed the truck with Adam's graphene shampoo. It was great. Used maybe 2 ounces and it stayed with plenty of bubbles for the entire truck. Then I used meguiars wax as you dry stuff. It is some SIO2 stuff or whatever. It looks pretty good after that. I clayed the roof and used Adam's graphene spray coating on half of it and the meguiars on the other half just to compare. I used the graphene on the roof because I've heard it can look bad if done incorrectly so being my first time I figured I would try the roof where nobody will see it. Haha.

I'm not very good with technology, but I may try later today. It is cloudy and I need some sun to make it look better. Haha

Looks good! The Adams ceramic is excellent. I had to get gas in my wifes Pacifica. I did hers yesterday. Pulled in the garage and watched the water fall off of it. It looks like it never was wet.

Here's some pics of truck, and of the stuff I used. The meguiars is what I used on the entire truck except for the roof. I used the adams on the roof. This was taken a day after doing it, so there is a little dust, not bad though. Overall, all the stuff I used seemed really good. Really loved the microfiber towels from Adam's

Treburkulosis...I will have to try the chemical guys stuff next time. All I know is this Adam's shampoo will last a long time. It stayed ridiculously sudsy the entire time. It doesn't take much of it at all

What other ceramic coatings have you used? Curious how they compare to others out there.

Truck looks nice man ...

I love Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax use it every time on my truck and wife's lexus ......I also have a spray bottle where I dilute it 10-1 with water of course and after I do the initial drying I use my compressor to blow out water from door handles, windows , flares, wheels where ever water stays trapped and then wipe it down one more type with the diluted bottled to wipe off any water spots and streaks left behind ... also use it in between washes if it's only dusty as a quick detailer ....

@PWonly I did Chemical guys hydro suds wash and I saw a huge change in the color of my wifes Pacifica and Ram. It didn't last super long, but its just a wash. Adams by far is the best I have seen. I am debating on buying some CS3 this week. I like that it works with chrome and black trim.

I use CS3 and like it. I cannot compare it to anything else as of yet but I just ran out of CS3 and plan on buying another style of adams ceramic spray or turtle wax brand ceramic spray and see the diff. Then I will top it with extreme solutions "topper".
