How does revive polish work ?

pgp · 10-06-2011, 11:21 AM

Does Revive polish help with spotted or faded paint? The car is outside 24/7. I had some lighter spots on my Pontiac roof and the polish seemed to help. How does revive polish help the paint.I applied it by hand, should I do another coat before waxing? Winter is around the corner. Thanks

There are a couple of good threads on here about Revive. I know I chimed in on at least a couple. It is a "non abrasive paint cleanser". It's job is to clean and brighten the paint (or clear coat in most cases) and can be thought of as a wax prep. If it took spots off your roof, then those spots were probably just some crud sitting on top of the paint as opposed to embedded. Revive will not do any correction, just help make it shine!

so your doing a hand polish? did you clay bar the car first? best way to hand prep the paint for wax is wash, clay, Swirl & Haze Remover, Revive, then your choice of Buttery Wax or Americana Paste Wax

it will look as good as it will get by hand!

For Winter you want another coat of wax instead of a another coat of Revive, Revive is a great paint cleaner & polish but it offers no protection!

This time I did not clay. I am sure it's not something on the paint. It did look better after revive, It may be just masking the problem for now. The problem seems to be getting worse recently. Like thin or faded paint.

Revive. How can I best explain it? It's the best product Adam's sells that no one knows about that everyone knows about?

The Shine Crew and I discovered a lot of things Revive can do when we were in Auburn. It's Award Winning. It's a great cleansing polish. We were bringing old metal and chrome back to life while removing spots at the same time with it!

Dave,

Can you please post a picture of what you are talking about with what you are experiencing?

PICSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I have the best luck taking Water Spots off with Swirl & Haze Remover though! Revive...ya never know, maybe it will!

I will snap some pics tomorrow morning. I am going to ive it the 2 bucket wash and 99% of them will come off from this rain then a few will be left over That I have noticed. If all else fails I will get the PC and Fine Machine Polish out.

I love Revive. I always hit my truck with Revive after Fine Machine Polish. Seems to clean up a lot of the small things that Fine Machine Polish leaves behind. IMO it does bring out a little extra shine but that might just me being crazy. I love Revive. I think its extremely over looked and a great product!

I dont know about water spots, I seem to have better luck with Swirl & Haze Remover on water spots.
