Its a pretty common fear... especially with all the misinformation out there about what a machine can and can't do to a car.

Not that some guy on the net can convince you otherwise, but we've been somewhat in the business of getting people over that hump when it comes to machines and its not as bad as you think.

If/when you ever make that transition you'll start to wonder why you didn't do it years earlier.

I read a lot here, watched The Junkmans Vids and the vids on Adampolishes.com. washed, clayed, and used the flex the first time out. NO issues, and came out fantastic. Even had the GM at my dealership tell me that I couldn't have gotten these results if I paid a pro detailer.

so is the paint scratch free.....if you look at it against the light just right, can you still see fine scratches in the clear coat?

I am just wondering because I have a black car and it shows fine scratches...I am just not quite totally sold on adams...yet.

I had a 6" long scratch on the roof edge above the passenger door that is gone. A deeper scratch on the trunk deck is better but I can still see a little of it. I removed my aftermarket spoiler, that's another story, and am going to repaint the deck due to paint damage under the spoiler so I'm not going to try and get it out completely with the P-C. I looked at the car under shop lights and in direct sunlight and can see a couple places that still have some very fine scratches that I should have spent more time doing, but I feel the next time I need to strip and polish the finish will be even better. I think as I get more familiar with the process the better the results will be. It's like everything else, there is a learning curve.

close to pulling the trigger then.....swirls really show up on a black car more than any other color..some input from someone who uses Adam's on a black car for the first few times would be very helpful

I am glad you are happy, the car looks great!
