Thank you Adams, just finished black Z06

Thanks for adams for thier products, i was skeptical at first. but after so many beautiful finishes i took the plunge and used the Severe Swirl remover followed by Swirl and haze remover, followed by fine machine polish on a porter cable.

I bought the car used last year and the paint has never looked better!!!

i am sure happy with the results, I will hit it again in a few months and apply the sealant. My car is a DD, so its on the road all the time.

enjoy the pics. pics do not do justice to the finish

Wait- do you mean you didn't follow up the FMP with a sealant of any kind? That's a really bad idea.

Gorgeous car and thanks for the great review... like CD07 mentioned its not a good idea to leave the paint unprotected... which after polishing it is! If you're in a pinch for time I'd recommend getting some wax on there now and doing the sealant when you do have the time to bust out the machine and apply it.

Would suck to see that beautiful black finish get etched by a bird bomb or something.
