I would go with both the HGG and the LPS. Apply the LPS after correction, then maintain it with the HGG. You could even go QS or with Buttery wax and HGG. I would definitely get HGG regardless. It is probably the easiest way to apply paint protection.

I think this is headed in the right direction I would be curious to know if using less corrects the issue. On a positive note I did use quite a bit of it on my car during my Saturday wash and it leveled out quite nicely. It was later in the day though so I bet temp and sun conditions were ideal for me. Good luck in resolving this. I have seen great results on my car. If anything, it has made drying a different task because now the surface seems to be much much more hydrophobic. It's a good thing for sure.

Awesome work fella!

Yeah its also great for those times you just need to clean up minor defects by hand. I would say grab that along with the blue hex applicator if you have a chance. Well good luck with those spots! I know that battle all too well.

Yep and that pdf gives the order as well. Brilliant Glaze is what most people use after wax etc and can be used after the next wash and as frequent as you want after that because it wont really build up.

Man I switched over and never used the old stuff since. I think the new polish was wayyyyy better than the old. You can one step with the new stuff. Old polish added too much time. Regardless of what you use, I think you have what you need to take care of it. Do you have any Revive? Sometimes I combine the finishing polish with Revive. I think Revive can kick up the cleaning ability.

Good choices there. Some of my favorite Adams products. The Detail Spray, Brilliant Glaze and Glass Cleaner are all top notch. The link below may also help you some. Hope the link works for you. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40839332/AdamsDetailingReferenceGuide.pdf

Awesome! I assume you have watched all the videos about polishing with a RO. The PC is great but it is not the most powerful tool. I have one as well. It took me several passes and going back again to get my paint where I wanted it. But that car is a 2000 and I am sure it was in much worse shape than yours is. Test a panel to see what it takes to remove the defects. You always want to start with the least aggressive method. So give it a shot with the white foam pad first and see where that gets you. Do you have the new polish or the old three step polish?

Oh and by the way congrats on the ZL1. Those are sharp

Mike, Do you have a machine polisher? Those go a long way to getting the paint looking great. You can correct things by hand but only to a certain extent. If you don't have a machine, you can use revive by hand to remove some defects.

Derek, I beleive this has been covered bedore. The wash pad is not ideal for that product application. The dense nature and tighter pattern of the plush mf towel is better suited and really the only thing you want to use with RW.

Yep for sure Rinseless at a higher concentration will destroy some grime. Thats been my experience.

Tony, Are the cars parked under any trees or anything? I have noticed when I park my car under the tree line and it rains, the beading is severely impacted. I am sure it is probably some form of residue from the trees basically adhering on top of the LSP. If thats not the case I am at a loss. But I have seen that happen and your pic looks like you have some trees near you.

Rick, In theory the Revive or even PFP or the Adams line of machine polish would work. Claying the glass might also work. There are several ways you could approach deep cleaning it. I have seen folks use the Flex polisher to get out the water spots too which would probably be in line with what you accomplished.

I typically bump it up to 5 on the Flex. Slow is the name of the game. Watch Dylan on that Corvette. He moves slow and steady. You can probably get away with 4 passes per step meaning two vertical and two horizontal. See where that gets you.

Welcome big guy! Love that ride. My parents had a '67 Bird when I was little. It probably fostered my love for all things automotive. If I ever hit the lotto or maybe when I retire I want to have a ride like yours!

Man I am getting goose bumps thinking about this

Glad its confirmed this will work with RW

Well I am going to play around with it and figure all that out once I get the chance. I will report back my findings.

Yep this reminds me why I am glad DVK is back

Greg may be asking if HGG can be used in the RW process?

Greg, I am speculating here, but based on how pretty much all Adams products work together, I imagine you can use it with DS or RW. Give me a week or so and I'll know for sure. Until then you probably need the Adams team to confirm.

Kyle I agree with you 100 percent. Stick around the Forum and continue using their products and methods and you will be a Jedi Master when it comes to keeping that ride shined up, swirl free, and protected. There is a definite science to it and these guys do it right on every level.

Phil, My guess is that would not be ideal because you may get streaking. Trust me, you will likely replace the step of misting detail spray on occassions you apply the HGG. You might follow the HGG with the DS to knock down any uneven spots. You can see how easy it is to apply the HGG.

I have been doing a similar process. It works really well.
