For Christmas my parents bought me the Adam's Porter Cable starter kit that came with all the pads and polishes. And the bug bit me!
I turned around and bought the Interior kit, and the Deluxe wash kit and a bunch of other stuff, three orders total HAHA So far. I need to make another one for some Detail spray and all purpose cleaner by the time I am done with the four cars I plan to use this one!! I think the 5 gallon size will do nicely!

I am almost done with the Camaro and I love this stuff!!! I can't wait to see it in the bright sun tomorrow. By the time I got to a finishing point the sun was too far down. But I did the 3 step polish, then the machine sealant stuff, the Glaze then the Americana carnabu wax to top it off on the hood and cab so far.

Anyway I figured I would share some before and after photos, I am sure you can tell which is which. This is just of the swirl removal, once I am completely done I will take pictures of the whole car for every one. It may be a little while because I decided a little bit ago that I will be removing my hood spears and fender hash marks too.

I took a look today with the sun out and WOW!!! It's smooth, there are a few fine scratches near the hood spears, but I plan to remove all the vinyl on the car, once I do that I will hit those areas again and they will be history!

I just stair at it while I am washing and waxing it, it's awesome. I love how the pictures came out. I can't wait to get some better full car photos. I plan to make a poster.

These Adams products really are awesome, I have been reading about them in the forums since I joined in 2009 and I finally got some and now I am hooked! It is soo easy to use. My wrists are kind of sore today from the Porter Cable. I read a thread in their forums about that, but as soon as I get use to it just like anything else I will be fine.

I need to look to see how many coast of glaze and or Americana I can put on...

Adam's Polishes · 01-13-2012, 03:39 PM

1 coat glaze, 2 thin coats Americana will be about all.

Waxes don't "stack" so well beyond that... IMO 3 consecutive coats will be where you start to just waste product, beyond that you may actually begin to see a little clouding on the finish from product buildup.

Okay good to know Dylan, thanks for the quick reply. I have one coat of glaze and one of the Americana, once I finish the entire car I had planned to put another coat of Americana over the entire car one last time.

Adam's Polishes · 01-13-2012, 03:59 PM

Can't wait for the finished pics. Good luck.

Now make sure that you wash or remove any dust off the car correctly so that the swirls don't return.

Thanks Junkman, I plan to thats why I had to buy the Adam's Deluxe wash wash kit (grit guard bucket and shampoo, they Great white drying towel, car wash pad), and a bunch of Microfiber towels.

I am already building my next order. 1 gallon refills of the Detail spray, Waterless wash and All purpose cleaner are on the list. I have to figure out the use of the quick sealant before I order. Not sure if I need it if I already use the Machine Super Sealant. Later on the list is the Jumbo Wheel and undercarriage kit. There goes my stripes money haha.

Junkman2008 · 01-13-2012, 08:27 PM

If you have the Machine Super Sealant, then you don't necessarily need the Quick Sealant. I would start saving up for the Master Blaster if I were you. Remember, the less you touch the paint, the less opportunity there is for you to damage the paint.
