TX SS

With Adam’s products I washed, clay barred, corrected a few small scratches and sealed my new truck.

The whole body and drawers of the desk are wrapped. Original color was tan and had been painted poorly by the people I got it from. At first I tried to sand the desk down to raw steel but couldn't get a uniform enough look so I decided to wrap it. The top is a stainless piece from Ikea. The original top was formica and didn't fit the new styling.

I've used 3m 1080 vinyl with pretty good success. I wrapped a tanker desk in brushed steel finish. The film is such that you can peel it back up if you make a mistake but want to avoid this if you can. Depending on how complex the shape and/or sharp edges/angles that is where it will be tricky. Here are pictures of how the desk turned out.

Thought your user name looked familiar from classic broncos. I have a 1973 Bronco and we spoke previously when I was buying Wildwood parts for my brake upgrade. Welcome to the forum.

Have you looked on Craigslist? I see lots of boxes on there, some realistically priced and some unrealistically priced. I've upgraded my Snap on box 3 times via Craigslist and have always been able to find something clean and lightly used.

What is this winter you speak of? 64 degrees and mostly sunny here in Houston so took the Bronco for a spin.

I voted 'cool cars and their stories' but before this I'd like to see a shop/warehouse tour of Adam's HQ. Lots of interesting looking things (signs, bikes, cars, etc.) in the background of your various videos/pictures.

I'm close to downtown Houston and interested.

Great pictures Joe. Have you guys considered doing a video or picture office and shop tour? Looks like there are lots of cool things around there (metal barrister cabinet in office, signs/neons on walls.....think I've seen a tanker desk around there, a bike collection and car collection in some older pictures). For those of us who have never been there would be cool to see more of Adam's HQ.

This is my favorite pic of the group.

Picture of my first Bronco that I like.

Post the pictures and let the experts here see what you are dealing with. What towels are you using in your final polish? Could they be the source of your micro scratches? For the deeper, if you've tried various compounds and still have scratches I don't think 2000 grit is going to get you there. You'll probably have to sand with something much more aggressive and then work your way back up in grit or with compounds again. I have a set of Weld Racing billets that I got used and had to sand from 150 grit and up and I still didn't remove all the imperfections. Once you get them where you want them I recommend using Adam's quick sealant to help keep them looking good longer.

Agreed on the lint brush. 3M Scotch-Brite is what I use. It has a black plastic handle with a red lint pad that you brush directionally.

Here are several more pictures of the seats after more cleaning. Still want to work on a few small areas on each seat but am close to done. Then it is on to conditioner. This is first seat pictured above after a second cleaning. This is the second seat, before: Second seat during: Second seat, after:

Thanks and Just a MF towel so far.
