H20 G&G will be the next product that I try. After seeing the results from @TheWolf and watching the videos on the Adam's website, I think it's something that I'll use between 6 month details on top of the Liquid Paint Sealant.

Yesterday was a good day to purchase it. It was on sale one day only, as well as the 15% off. The sale included 1 gallon, plus smaller spray size along with 2 towels.

I'm worried here in CA, I've heard they might make washing your own vehicle in your driveway illegal, only car washes using recycled water allowed. I hope not, I care too much and have too much invested in my vehicles to have their paint ruined. :mad:

For this photo, I used a polarizing filter on the lens to remove most of the reflection, which brought out all the metallic in the paint.

That's a hell of a showcase for a new product. Looks great. I'd like to see how well she cleans up after running some muddy trails.

The beading action on the H2O Guard & Gloss is very impressive. Drove a few blocks and the hood was dang near dry, water rolled right off.

Looks nice. I just received yesterday, haven't had time to use it yet. But I did get a chance to use the Adams Rinseless Wash, and it worked great. Truck was not that dirty, only dust. I would be afraid to us on a dirty vehicle.

I would do a very thorough two-bucket wash before using the H20 Guard & Gloss. You want to make sure the paint is really, really clean, since there is a lot of wipe-on, wipe-off when applying the HGG.

I will definitely do that. I always use pressure washer and foam cannon. But we have this BS water shortage here in CA, so I wanted to try the Waterless/Rinseless wash. There is a good chance they may issue edicts banning washing cars at home. The rules will come out June 1st. I never take any of my cars to a car wash, I know a lot of people do, and their cars end up looking like crap after a while. I'll drive around with dirt on my vehicles first.
