The adhesion is excellent. As good as any paint prep I've ever done.
I'm following this thread too. Looks great.

Did you remove the vinyl wallpaper before cleaning the walls 4 times? Or did you paint over the vinyl wall paper?

My wallpaper is perfect, no bubbles or peeling but the wife wants a different color so gathering info.

We left the vinyl on the walls. Coincidentally, the texture matches the painted plywood almost perfectly.
