CGM detail with Adam's

So, here is what I ordered the other week (Dylan was great and helped me exchange the SSR in the PC kit for MSS):



After many long (but fun) hours, this is what my baby now looks like after SHR, FMP, and MSS. I'm currently waiting for the MSS to cure for 24 hours before I apply the Brillant Glaze and Americana wax.. Can't wait to see the finished results, just looking out how nice she looks right now !!

Also will have to go back with some APC and VRT on the stripes, tires, and trim.



Over all I'd give everything an A+ so far

I'll update with pics when I'm done.

EDIT: Here are the rest of the pics after applying Brilliant Glaze and Americana.

Wow!!!! It came out looking nice!!! Excellent job!!! I've been wanting to order the flex kit from Adams for awhile but I'm afraid since it'll be my first time using a machine. Was it too hard using the PC?? How long did it take you?? Did you do it outside in the sunlight or inside the garage??

Thanks everyone ! like I said can't wait for it to cure so I can layer on the glaze and americana .

@ fro... I did it in my garage over 3 days, about 3-4 hours each day. It was just too hot outside. I worked small sections with the SHR and then FMP till I knocked it all out. Then I gave it a nice wash and put on the layer of MSS. I'll say it's a lot more work using the PC than I thought. Plus, being my first time, I'm glad it was not the flex. I'm used to doing cosmetic projects like this, but I wouldn't be comfortable with the flex till I have done it a few times. There are just to many places on the camaro that were hard to maneuver.

That said, I knocked out about 99% of the imperfections. If I had used the SSR/focus pads I'm sure I could have gotten it 100% with the PC.

I love Adams and I love my CGM especially when it looks as good as yours after I am done. I've been polishing cars all weekend just for fun. I tried a different brand on some friend's vehicles...not even close to the same shine and quality.
