Nickfire20 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I think that’s the store that was in one of Der Dave’s YouTube videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtLip Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Geez, I wish I lived there. I would much rather walk in and pick up what I need and leave with it in my hand. You can even buy the MF Revitalizer there. I wonder why that product is NEVER discounted or on sale? Anyways, all the way over here in Florida, having a retail store close by would be nice. Getting ready to buy a polishing machine and having to buy a bunch of different pads and polishes just to see what I need seems costly. Having the store close by would make things so much easier. Oh well, such is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, such is life. The thing with the pads and polishes is you don't know exactly what will work the best until you do the test spot. Some black paint will correct with finishing polish/pads while others require microfiber pads. Some will mar even with finishing polish/pads, and will require using water on the pads to keep them cool or switching to a super-soft sealant pad. Maybe wetsanding is more effective for the bad parts and will give a better finish. The basics of paint correction is straight forward, but the more you do different cars you find it is an art!

Rich Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I live about 30 miles from a dealer, so I can deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of them are Adam's dealers and the ones near me have a decent stock and will give me a discount when there is a sale online. I'll admit that with driving a Chevy and a GMC that use Adam's products, I'm an advertisement when I show up to get Adam's supplies. I've had more than one person ask about the products when they see my vehicles and I'm more than happy to tell them about the products and pick up some side work. I just don't understand why the Chevy dealer won't give me a Red Vette to advertise with, I'd even let them keep their dealer sticker on it.

However, I reserve the right to use selective adjectives while attempting to keep any black vehicle shiny and clean, including my full bird Colonel Uncle's SUV.

RayS Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I've thought about this a bunch over the last day and I'm not sure about the answer: If someone gave you as a Detailer a Black vehicle, is that a Gift or a Punishment?

Rich Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Hey, black Vettes aren't that hard to keep up. And that was 12 years ago when all I used was Revive and Buttery Wax! Nickfire20, falcaineer, RayS and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
