o_jks_o Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 About a month and a half ago a good friend of mine had his van parked outside his house and someone side swiped it and unfortunately didn't leave a note or anything. This past weekend I told him to bring his van over to my house and I would see if I could get some of it out for him. As you can see from the pictures, he has a pretty deep black scratch all the way down the side of his van. In addition on the lower driver side door, the other car appeared to have swiped him pretty good. I was absolutely amazed at the results the products were able to get with his paint! Here's a list of the steps and Adam's products I used: 1) Waterless Washed the vehicle since it was semi dirty - (20 minutes) 2) Clay Bar treatment with Detail Spray - (30 minutes) 3) Paint Correction - part 1 - (60 minutes) -Rupes 15 polisher -Microfiber cutting pad -Paint Correction Polish This step took the longest because as you can see from the pictures the scratches were pretty deep, so I had to really take my time going over them with the polisher, continuing to apply detail spray to the Microfiber Cutting Pad and using the Pad Conditioning Brush. Most of the scratches did come out with the Microfiber Cutting Pad. 4) Paint Correction - part 2 - (30 minutes) -Orange Foam Pad -Paint Correction Polish 5) Paint Finishing - (20 minutes) -White Foam Pad -Paint Finishing Polish -Removed all polish from the vehicle with a Single Soft Towel 6) Glaze - (20 minutes) -Red Foam Pad -Brilliant Glaze -Removed Brilliant Glaze with a Single Soft Towel 7) Sealant - (20 minutes) -Gray Foam Pad -Paint Sealant -Removed Paint Sealant with Single Soft Towel Here are some of the before pictures: And here are some pictures of after using all 7 steps listed above. Finished product: I was impressed at how great Adam's products were able to completely take out the scratches in this vehicle. In just about 3 hours of time the vehicle looks brand new again, like the side swipe never even happened. Needless to say, my friend is pretty happy that his vehicle looks brand new again and is now a converted Adam's customer as well.
