Adam's is killin' me!

It's a sickness...Since getting all my Adam's stuff, (had for almost a year), I find myself always walking out in the garage at night with the light on looking for frickin swirls! I have never paid this much attention to a finish on any car I've ever owned! Somebody help!

Don't do it! lol.
Swirls happens, IMHO. It's part of owning a car. If you spend all this time fixing swirls marks you'll buff your clear coat right off! lol

Now you know why I feel like a drug dealer at these shows.
I'm probably one of the biggest addicts of the stuff.

Thats why it's important to only do a full detail every 3 months, otherwise you'll drive yourself nuts keeping the car perfect.

Are you saying to run the PC over your car every 3 months?
Isn't that bad for your clear coat, long term?

Hes likely only doing a pass with fine machine polish and a white pad which is EXTREMELY mild. Theres really no danger at all at damaging the clear... with even our more aggressive products you'd have to polish HUNDREDS of times before it ever would be a concern. The amount of clear removed with each pass is microscopic.
