the reason that it is more expensive on Amazon is because people buy it up ( like Mr. Pink ) from Wal-Mart and resell it . Two of my 3 local Wally Worlds had to put a two per customer buying limit on them because 1 individual was buying most of the stock in 1 sweep every time they restocked . He'd get all of the suds.lab , CGs, and Adam's products and sell them on his Amazon and ebay sites at a significant mark-up . The other Wal-Mart was like " hey we are selling the crap out of it , let it go " .

I use Adapt and also DIY WL. The winner is... DIY Waterless. On the paint they both perform about the same. Both smell great but the grape juice smell of DIY is unique. The difference make is the glass. Adapt leaves a smear when applied to glass. I use the DIY WL to remove the smears on the glass and it cleans to a sparkle. I would think that it is putting a cleaner coat then on paint as well. Stuff rocks and is a great drying aid as well. Lastly, DIY Mist is too expensive, use DIY WL instead.

Good job. I believe adding All Clean, Iron Remover, and PSD Towel to the process, may have revealed more favorable results. Iron contamination has little to do with the water supply and mostly with the brakes. Not just yours, bet everyone around you when driving! Also, Kia engines are more prone to burning oil, which can accumulate residue on the back of the vehicle. Which is why the back 1/3 of the vehicle had more sheeting. All Clean would have been more effective at removing that "oil" film.

If im doing a full decon on a coating, I'll hit it with an alkaline wash like Carpro Lift or NV Snow+ via foam cannon, let dwell, rinse thoroughly, then follow with an acidic wash such as Carpro Descale also via foam cannon again letting it dwell then thorough rinse. After this I'll either bucket wash with either one of these products depending whether im going after road grime or water spots. But you can also do one after the other. You could then if needed, use a dedicated waterspot remover and iron remover to spray on and spread with a soft towel then rinse. If I'm not seeing much improvement in water behaviour then I'd be thinking about reapplying another coating.

I think 8 years is a BS claim. I think they over promise and under deliver like so many other ceramic companies.
Durability comes down to many factors both in and out of our control. I applied a 12 month coating to my wifes car inJune 2022. Its a daily driver sitting out in weather 9 hours a day but garaged overnight . The coating is still beading really well with no dead spots. I wash it maybe one every 2 to 3 weeks. Dont top it with anything. Whilst some coatings may not last their stated claims, I only ever use this as a best case scenario.
