Adam's Quick Sealant vs. 1000+ miles of bugs

So for those that don't know yet I recently uprooted the family from SoCal and moved to Colorado to be closer to the Adam's HQ and work in the office. Big deal since it allows me to get more done in house with product development and customer support versus working remotely. So now when you yahoos call you might just be getting me on the phone :)

With a long drive ahead of me I figured I had a prime opportunity to REALLY see what Quick Sealant could do. The day before loading up and starting the drive I gave the truck a good strip wash, 1 quick pass of Adam's Revive Polish, and an all over coating of Adam's Quick Sealant.

I followed that up with 3 additional coats of Adam's Quick Sealant on all the leading edges of the truck including the hood, front bumper, grill, mirrors, and even the small parts of the front and rear fenders that stick out slightly.

If Quick Sealant could withstand about 1,100 miles of highway over 2 days, leaving California, passing thru Nevada, a small part of Arizona, a good chunk of Utah, and then over the rockies into the heart of Colorado I'd be impressed.

I had my doubts... afterall I was going to be going thru a lot of countryside, past a lot of farm land, seeing temps into the high 90's in the day, and freezing at night. The truck even got rained on, and a light dusting of snow before I had a chance to clean it.

Needless to say in the end I was blown away with how easily all that gunk washed away... when I say almost NO effort, I literally mean it. Aside from the presoak with Adam's Waterless Wash the effort needed to remove the bugs was no more intensive than what was needed to remove dust and contamination everywhere else. The 'splats' didn't really stick too well to begin with, some of the little critters fell off while I was spraying down the front end with waterless wash.

never tired adams sealant, but Sealants are all i use. Waxes to me are a waste of time, they dont give the super hard like glass finish, and don't last nearly as long. Great as a top coat ontop of sealant for certain colors tho. I'll have to get some adams and take it for a test drive.

Was it frustrating getting to your new place and not having all your detailing stuff setup?! I worked like mad for a week at my new house getting my garage ready to go before anything else.

I imagine it wasn't too hard, with the Warehouse being a few minutes away! World's biggest stock room!

If this sealant lasts as long for me as it has for others I will never buy wax again :cheeky:

Ya know, Quick Sealant IMO is perfect for wheel protection.
 
100% agree, i put it on my wheels keeps them nicer for much longer. brake dust just washes away

That's a good idea. The wheels on my mustang are a PITA to clean and they're a painted finish. Guess I'll havta order me some Adams before too long

i used to be big into poorboys stuff back in the days or glimmer glass detailing, the guy was only a hour away, and knew his stuff, i tried adams, and overall their stuff is awesome. I just remembered im ordering the microfiber daily special right now.
 
These are the first wheels I've ever really had a problem with or needed some kind of sealant for. I've had painted/cleared wheels before but had low dust brake pads. The Brembo's on this car make ALOT of dust so I definitely need some sealant
