CB2513 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hello all, I'm new to Adam's products and just purchased a 2016 C7 in Laguna blue to try them out on. I purchased the PC complete correction kit and a few extras to go along with it. It's been raining every day so I've not had a chance to try anything out yet! I would really like some advice on my first shine on the new car. The paint looks good but I think there is more shine to come. Can anyone offer some advice? I don't want to over do the first polish but I want to get the best shine I can. This is a great forum and I've learned a lot already reading through it - thanks! Chris I'll post better pictures after my first shine Steve_S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Welcome to the forum Chris! What condition is the paint in? Any swirls in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB2513 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I haven't seen any swirls yet but found a couple of very minor scratches. I was considering starting with the finishing polish then sealant and adding glaze on top of that? Sound like a good plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yes, that sounds like a good plan. Get some practice with the polisher with the PFP. Then, you can do a two-step polish next time when there might be more to correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirahnah3 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Welcome to the forums, you cant go wrong with these products, dont worry about damaging things too much, these products are very gentle over all to the paint sans the APC. Looking forward to seeing the shined up pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB2513 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Just finished my first Adam's shine and I'm pretty happy with the results - still a few things to learn but getting there. Slight change from my original plan but I think I mad a good choice. Started with Revive, then LPS, Brilliant Glaze followed by a coat of Patriot wax. Hit the wheels with LPS followed by Brilliant Glaze and VRT on the tires and trim. I have to say the products are all great, the card wash, the drying towels are amazing, the single and double soft micro fiber towels are awesome! The LSP was easy to use, glaze simple and the Patriot wax was as easy to use as any I've tried. I'm sold! Couldn't get any pictures that really show the results but they're attached. mc2hill and PlainOleS5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
