Adam's Polishes gave me two new cars!

That's how it feels when I look at my 12 and 16 year old cars after I gave them the Adams treatment. I know there are lots of great products on the market but I'd like to thank Adams for their approach. I tackled both cars in one day. A labor of love. Years of road debris, swirl marks, tree damage, oxidation are all gone. Now nobody knows we have a cat. Luckily she doesn't sleep on the cars anymore!
Yes, two black cars that look like new. I do have about 5 small specks of road striping paint to remove from one hood. I'll have to buy something a little more aggressive than swirl and haze remover for that.
My wife couldn't wait to drive her car again saying it looked like the day we drove it off the lot. Adam's product and my hard work added about $500 value to that vehicle.
I'm still hand waxing my Camaro and I hope its a couple years before I need to use a machine buffer on it but I now have the confidence to do it when the time comes.
I don't have an unlimited budget and I had to save up for a couple months to get the kit. But its a mod that I can cross off my list. When you have three vehicles (including a Camaro) my mod list is pretty long. Now I need to decide on the drop springs or the axle back exhaust for the Camaro as the next mod.

I'm happy with Adam's too! I just finished my black SS today, I did the claybar, swirl and haze remover, fine machine polish and the machine super wax. It was well worth the time. Thanks Adam's! Me and my girl cruised it up and down the beach today and I couldn't help but notice all the black cars with swirls in the paint...I guess I'm hooked on Adam's polishes for life now! If anyone was doubting how well the Adam's stuff works like I was, I'm a true believer now.

You did two cars in one day? WOW! Did you use the PC with the SHR and the FMP and if you did how long did it take to remove the Swirls?

2 cars in one day is impressive. I was tired after doing one in a day, I couldn't imagine doing two.
Sorry I didn't post any pics, my computer is down. But it looks great and I couldn't be happier. I'll throw away my turtle wax ice.

I used the PC buffer and the three step system. Swirl and haze, fine machine polish and super wax. I buffed each layer after application by hand with a microfiber towel or several of them to be exact. Each car took about four hours including the washing and clay bar. The swirls came right out after the first application of SHR on both cars. I only ran the machine on each panel about a minute for each step.
I'm feeling it a little bit in the shoulders but I actually thought it was going to be worse.
A couple of pics are attached.
The left front quarter panel was hit by a falling tree limb a couple weeks ago. Many scratches were left from that, one deep one. Every one came out except the deepest scratch which was to the primer. But even that one was muted so you have to really look hard to find it.

I get tired after doing a hood in one day.

Thanks. It's not the fanciest car but it only has 55k miles on it. It's definitely the nicest 12 year old car on my block. It will make some teenager happy when we sell it soon.
I didn't get pics of the Trans Am because it was getting dark and I was tired but it looks just as good! No teenager will be getting that car very soon. I feel like the teenager when I'm driving it!
