Adams Polishes Kit Should Arrive Today!

So I'm hoping that my kit I ordered arrives today, because right now I feel like a kid on Christmas day. I got the $300 PC kit and then some extra detail spray and the waterless wash kit. It was my first purchase from Adams so I hope it lives up to all the hype people make of it! I've seen all the results others have posted and I can't wait to post mine. Also my dad has a '65 Impala that he wants me to do so I'll throw some pics when I get to it (hopefully this weekend).

Anyways, cross your fingers that it comes today!

Edit: I also got the 4" Focus pad kit!

Marco

this is to be worn around you head, to help you focus on polishing your car and not get distracted.

Good luck but get ready to pull some LOOONG hours. I spent 10 hours yesterday getting the majority of the scratches out of a Lincoln MKS, 2 years old with paint that was completely trashed already. It's still only about 80% but the rest of it I would need something stronger, the yellow pad and SHR didn't even touch some of the deeper stuff. Probably need rotary and some stronger compound, but I'm not about to attempt that.

It's backbreaking, but feels so good when you look at how much you improved the car when youre done. You'll love it!

Well the cars I'll be doing it on aren't in bad condition at all, but I'm sure I'll be putting many hours in anyways.

I use Adams. I had a few swirl marks in the paint and followed the video that comes with their products. Worked perfectly. Couldn't be happier.

You wont be disappointed. All of Adams products are absolutely incredible. I used the Adams kit to detail my wife's challenger which had HORRIBLE swirl marks and scratches in it from 2 years of abuse. It looks brand new now

Adams rocks!! I posted some pics in the RJT thread a couple weeks ago after I used their swirl and haze remover, polish and wax. I absolutely love the results.

I usually just polish Mustangs and Challengers with medium or coarse grit sandpaper...idk why they just look better to me with that method
