Looks great. I did the exact same thing, except I used the fine machine polish after the swirl and haze removal and before the americana wax of course. You might want to consider added this step, but you'll be even more wore out afterwards.

Excellent work.

For those wondering, Adam's products can be purchased directly from the manufacturer OR from a local dealer/distributor. Click on the "Dealers" tab on the Adam's website.

Mike is correct and most will honor your forum discount, just call to confirm they have what you want and if they will take the discount codes first:

Adams is probably the best I've dealt with since I've been detailing. Great customer service, products and is easy to learn. I've won 3 different trophies at shows with the truck I had. (when I traded it in, I was asked if I was a winner of the car show we had locally) . People don't forget that Adams shine .

I know a lot of folks have dealt with Phil of Detailer's Domain (NJ based) and he gets praise across several boards (BMW, MB, Honda forums)....does anyone here know if he honors the Camaro5 discount in store?

Phil's awesome. He probably does honor it, but send him a PM or ask in his "Ask Detailer's Domain" sticky. Even if he doesn't he has his own discount so you'll probably come out to the same either way.

Thanks for that info.

The George Washington bridge toll is $12 one way so on second thought heading to the Garden State may not actually save me form shipping costs.

HOWEVER, I added a gallon refill on the Adam's page to my latest order and shipping jumped to near $30. Guess I will jump over to NJ for that & stick to stocking-up on daily deals + small items.

I've found Phil's shipping to usually be more reasonable. I think he actually has a flat shipping rate...

I know GPC has flat shipping for Adam's stuff. They honor all coupons as well, and they are awesome to work with. They used to offer free shipping and lower prices but I think Adam's put the kaibash on that, if I'm not mistaken. Been a while since I ordered Adam's. I remember getting a PM from GPC when I posted how you could buy from GPC for less than directly from Adam's about "stepping on toes" haha.

I've never been able to afford the shipping Adam's charges. It's like they're sending out fabrege eggs or something.

As a side note- $12 for a TOLL???!! That's just ridiculous. Now I could see it on the Jersey side to keep them out..... but that's just me
