Polishing the MacBook w/ Adam's (56K Warning)
Yup.. I got a new MacBook back in January, and after just 4 months of useage; its filled with marring, scratches and hazing.. I decided to get out my Adam's goodies and give my MacBook the love it deserves. I used:
Adam's Detail Spray Adam's Fine Machine Polish Adam's Americana Adam's 4" White Spot Buffing Pad Adam's True Blue Microfibers 12v Rotary Drill Here's our subject: Here's the initial inspection: Our tools to be used: After wiping down the surface with Detail Spray, I applied FMP with a white 4" pad via a rotary drill: After removing the FMP; Inspection: Applied 2 coats of Americana: And here's our completed product: My Mac looks brand new all over again.. Steve Jobs would be proud! I do want to make something very clear. These products are not intended for use on electronics or non-clear coated surfaces; you do so at your own risk.

very nice. funny, i was actually thinking of doing the same to the back of my iphone, then i dropped it and broke the screen. bought a new one, but will remember this when its gets messed up.
and no junkman, i won't be doing the two bucket wash on my iphone to avoid scratching ;-) |

The surface was smooth with no bonded contaminants due to lack of outdoor exposure. However damage occurred by careless owners and numerous baby bottles sitting atop of it.

I got tired of the Microsoft FAIL that was windows Vista and I'll never look back. And Zaino would have just covered the imperfections, I wanted them fixed

I did post the pictures over at adams forums. with as much money as I spent on maintenance of a PC you can buy 2 macs. Not to mention the constant worry about virus' and spyware, seriously I wish I would have switched sooner. Vista crashed my $1500 tower 5 times in a year span, wiping out all of my pictures, my wifes school work, everything... This I cannot and will not forgive microsoft. If it happened once; I can forgive it as a fluke... 5 Times =
