Adam`s H2O Guard and Gloss Durability Thread

[SYMAWD]

Here`s my parents` A6. With this car they listened to me and only take it to either a touchless wash or no wash at all. It got a bit dirty since I last came home from college and washed it. Also, this car was prepped by the dealer and bought during the winter, so the dealer applied wax has since worn off.

I started off with some Adam`s Deep Wheel Cleaner on the wheels:

Next up was a round of Adam`s All Purpose Cleaner agitated with a stiff bristled brush on the tires that haven`t been cleaned in about 2 months.

[COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Finished up with a foam gun wash and H20 Guard and Gloss. Trim was treated with Adam`s Super VRT and tires were coated with Turtle Wax`s tire coating. H20 guard and gloss is being used as the only LSP on the car so I`ll report back on how long it lasts. Application was very easy as well as drying the car. It smells horrible straight from the bottle, but when actually using it, it is a very pleasant grape scent.

I guess my dealer never head about DISO. This car has never been corrected.

Looks nice. I have has H20G&G for about a week now. It`s real easy to use and user friendly. Dylan got this one right. I posted a beading shot over on the Adams forum the other day.

22 days in. The car is completely covered in pollen and there is still some beading action.

Thanks for the update. I have 1 month with it on my daily already and it`s doing very good. Beading and sheeting is impressive.

The beeding does not look as tight at reload or c2v3. I do love Adams products how ever.

Like I said, this is on a dirty car covered in pollen so the beads are not as tight as when it is clean.

I was just about to post the same thing. It was clearly posted that there is a layer of pollen.

Here are some photos of the type of beading I am seeing. My car was dirty and I took these as soon as the shower passed. Beading looks pretty darn good to me.

Here it is 5 weeks and 2 days in. Once again on a dirty car. It lives outside 24/7 and rarely gets a wash. As you can see, it appears better now than it did in the last update now that the pollen is nearly all gone.

So 48 days in and it has only been washed once. Here it is after a short rain on a dirty car. Claimed durability is 2 months or let`s say 60 days. From the looks of it, it should hit that claim no problem. Not bad for a sealant that is also the best drying aide I`ve ever used.

73 days in, still hasn`t been washed.

Nice update. I went 2 1/2 months before I decided to reapply even thought it still had some life left in it.
