  1. Thanks again everyone. Ashley recommended I try using a little of the polish. Took a bit, but I finally got them off. Cleaned the rims, put on a fresh coat of VRT on the tires, and use some brilliant glaze on the rims.
  2. Thanks for the welcome everyone! Here are some more pics from the process. Once the car was dry, I backed it into the garage and applied VRT to everything I could and used In and Out on the front grills. I also used invisible spray in the wheel wells Once that was done, I pulled out the PC and started that process. I started with swirl and haze, then fine polish, followed by machine sealant. I also cleaned and sealed the windows. At this point, I was getting pretty excited on how the car looked. I let the sealant sit for 24 hours before I applied a coat of brilliant glaze. I did use some waterless wash to make sure the car was clean prior to putting on the brilliant glaze. Started on the trunk lid and was very happy with what I was seeing, so I did the entire car. Here are a few pics from when I was done. I started on a Saturday morning and finished the coat of glaze on Monday. Overall, I am happy with the results to this point. I have received many compliments on how the car looks and asked what products I used to get the results I am seeing. I had never machine polished before, so I was a little worried about that. I took my time and watched several videos as I went along. That helped a lot. I am not sure what to use on the rims. What should I apply to maintain the shine? I also have some sticker residue and am not sure what i should use to remove that. Here is a pic of what I am talking about: Thanks again everyone. I hope I put this in the right place.
  3. Finally, the weather cooperated and I was able to try out my new stuff. It did take some time, but I think it turned out pretty well. So, what did I do? I started out by cleaning the rims and tires. i used the Deep Wheel Cleaner and waited for it to turn purple. I also cleaned the tires and wheel wells at this point. I then shifted to washing. I sprayed anything loose off that I could. At this point, I foamed the crap out of the car and then began washing using the two bucket method. I then used a leaf blower to blow off the excess water and let it sit for a little bit to dry. I then clayed the car, rewashed, and dried again in the same manner. I also used a little bit of detail spray with a great white drying towel to make sure I had it dry and backed it into the garage. I'll post more later. At this point, I was happy with what I was seeing. That and the detail spray smells pretty dang good. Even my fiancee wanted to know what smelled so good. On a different note, Dodge puts these annoying stickers on their rims. What would you use on your rims to get this off and then to make them shine when you are done? Wasn't for sure what I could put on them.
  4. My order has arrived. Hopefully, the weather cooperates next weekend. Rained all day today.
  5. My order should arrive Saturday. I had something else coming and that is what arrived today.
  6. Thanks everyone. Tracking info shows an estimated delivery of Thursday!!
  7. After comparing the Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger, I recently made my decision and picked up a new 2013 Challenger R/T Classic. On my previous cars, I always used Zaino, but I decided to start looking for other options. That's when I found Adams. Been lurking for a while, watched a lot of the videos, and earlier today, made the plunge. I have a Premium Machine Polishing kit heading my way with a PC. This will be my first time machine polishing a car, but I think I can handle it. Not going to lie, I had a ton of questions and Ashley helped me out quite a bit by email. Thanks Ashley. Really looking forward to getting started.
