Over the last couple months I have been collecting supplies to do my first "real" detail. My Fusion (White Platinum tricoat) will be my first to do a true DA polish and coat with SiO2 stuff from WG. I am excited and nervous at the same time as while its not a fancy car it still looks brand new outside and I am pretty proud of that being I only used OTC stuff. I am using all WG stuff except the Adams Strip Wash.
I plan to:
Adams Strip Wash
Iron Remover
Clay
Adams Strip Wash
Finishing Glaze (Six LC White)
SiO2 PS (Six LC Black)
I have a garage so I can do the work in it out of the sunlight. My only concern is the dwell time on the FeRemover. It says not to let it dry but dwell is 3-5 minutes. Its the small details like that that have me kinda edgy.
My second vehicle (provided I am not back here asking "How do I fix.....") is a Metallic Dark Gray Rav. The big "sticky" point on that is the PPF up front as in the front quarters and hood are completely wrapped. I want to use Adams strip wash (as even though Mike says polishing PPF is fine if proper process is followed; I am hesitant to do it as PPF is $$$) and emailed them and they said:
I have Mikes hour long detail special bookmarked and plan to watch it a few more times prior to attempting next week (vacation). I know where I want to do my test spot (has to be roof due to new paint on hood). Does anybody have any concerns given what minimal details I have laid out?
Thanks!

Adams Contact Response said:Our Strip Wash would be fine to use on PPF. We have a certified installer here, and we have done it in the past when people put wax on their PPF and get white residue in any cracks or gaps in the PPF.
