    Yes sir.

    These warm weather states have paid the price for their unwise decisions.

    Tell me about it. So tired of people down here in South Florida being idiots. Over on the west coast of FL- Naples, Ft. Myers, etc.-- no one wears a mask. Literally no one.

    I’ll help you - we’ll redo it. Start fresh.

    I’ll suggest we use what I use but leave that up to you.

    I’m thinking Tuesday - we’ll use this as one of our LIVE detailing classes.

    In PA there’s a mandate that everyone must wear a mask when not at home. Many people refuse. Some say Covid-19 was made up by Democrats to make Trump lose the election. Yes, people are that stupid. They don’t realize the entire world is screwed with this and think it’s some plot by democrats. The amount of people not social distancing or wearing a mask at NJ/DE beaches is ridiculous, won’t be long before the northeast is a hotspot again.

    There will be another huge nationwide resurgence until a vaccine is developed.

    My analogy has always been:

    COVID is plugged sink with the water running full blast. China (with their draconian government) was able to effectively "turn off the faucet" by beating people back indoors if they ventured out.

    Free world countries like the United States just turned the faucet from full blast down to a about half way.

    Slows the flow, yes. But the water (virus in this analogy) will eventually flow over and spill all everywhere.

    OP. Jump on this. For a master like Mike Phillips to offer to help you is like Michael Jordan teaching me how to play basketball.

    Mike, super cool of you to make that offer to him. You are a stand up guy in my book.

    4) Let it sit for about 2 min
    5) Agitate/smear with damp microfiber mitt very lightly
    6) Hose off
    7) Wash again with Reset
    8) Detail with ECH2O

    It seems as if parts of my coating that were beading water fine before doing this, are now performing worse. And for the parts that were not beading water before, they remained unchanged, if not worse.

    I guess you can say that the paint/coating feels a little smoother as if there were actually contaminants lifted from the surface, but it did not fix my beading problem. I am not sure what else to do.

    I can tell some contaminants were removed because prior to this, if I lightly ran my fingernail(s) along the paint, I can feel the contaminants- very tiny and raised from the surface. Whereas now, they are still there, but not as much/many/significant.

    On the bright side, the paint looks great. I think lifting the contaminants really brought out the black color, gloss, depth, and shininess... I just wish it would have brought back the coatings properties.

    At this point, I am very disappointed with myself. I feel like I applied the coating wrong from the start and just made matters worse. I almost want to just remove it and use Meg's Hybrid Ceramic Wax as I have that on 4 other vehicles and it is giving better results than my ceramic coating.
    In this thread you mentioned you did not prep wipe the surface. It would not surprise me if this is coming back to haunt you.

    Nice. Take Mike up his offer. Does not happen that often. Plus you will learn some things.

    NJ is one of the few states where the numbers are trending in the right direction. Whats odd is that we've had shore towns open, as far as the beaches and boardwalk, since Memorial Day, and have not seen a resurgence. In all other public places, we're required to wear a mask, which probably helps explain that. I track the numbers every day in spreadsheets, and we're experiencing very small increases, especially when you consider we had two days in April where we had 4000 new cases on each of those days. This is one of those rare occurrences where I wish other states would do what we're doing....with the exception of the beaches, of course
