As far as I know its the OEM glass on the car. The sad part is the glass on the miata with 160k miles on it is probably in just as good if not better shape than my 16 GTI with 20k on it. I bought a glass polish kit as it was nice and cheap. Going to give it a try on the miata and see how it goes. I'll try to do some before and afters.

yea i started doing some quick research on it, and doesn't seem like it's super easy to do. Might buy a kit and try it out on the miata over the winter. Not like the track car sees lots of use this time of year anyway. Just being a 17yr old car it's got some defects I'd like to try and remove. Any recomendations on a glass polisher brand?

THis is my car from a few weeks ago after a quick wash and brilliant glaze application. Used 1 coat and applied using the microfiber applicator pad.

My windshield has little nics in it, and I was looking to try and polish some out. I don't see an Adams specific product for this. Would any of their paint polishes work? If not anyone have any recommendations other products to use with my SK. Looking to do it on 2 different cars, a 99 miata and 16 gti. My GTI has rain sensing wipers would polishing cause any issues to that?

that's the issue i have now with them sitting in a box and bucket is the top towels would get dirty. As it sits in my garage where I do other work.

I like the idea of a drawer better so you can stack them and not have to move other bins to get to the one you want.

Now you’re just showing off lol

That’s a pretty nice setup. Seems like you’ve got everything you need and then some lol. I’ll get to that point soon.

I was thinking of moving to stackable plastic drawers. The ones I have right now that I use for other things I don't really like as the drawers are clunky and don't slide very well. Which is why I was thinking of a bin or something to hang from the wall.

I've got piles of microfiber towels. Right now they're just in a big bucket all lumped together. Looking to organize them into different types. Like Drying, utility, Polishing, Wheels, etc. Looking for some storage ideas. Currently have around 40 towels.

Thanks guys for answering another one of my questions. I just finished checking out on the Swirl Killer mystery box. That looks like I get a 15mm SK plus $70+ in product for $200 seemed like a no brainer after looking at other polishers on the market and price. The comfort of the Porter Cable was one of the issues, as It didn't look to be as comfortable to hold as the SK. I might jump on the 12mm after christmas.

I've been looking at the 15mm swirl killer for some time. With the mystery box for one today it's every tempting. It would also work with my current pads. I was also looking at PORTER CABLE 7424XP

Thanks, I figured the trim kit couldn't be used as it's a totally different material it's trying to bond to. So the paint coating would work, but just wouldn't be as effective or last as long because it can't withstand the abuse that wheels see.

What are the advantages of a nicer polisher? I'm fairly new to detailing. Been doing washing etc for ages, but very little paint correction, scratch removal. I've got a random orbital from harbor freight just wondering what benefits I'd get to bumping up to something nicer. Price range would be low to mid 200s.

Jason, if you're selling let me know. I'm in NoVa(northern Virginia assuming your acronym is what i think it is)
