Adams Tire Shine No Go for U.S. Army
red94chev replied to Black Bowtie's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
Interesting, I wonder how they came to use the Adams bottle? -
Need help choosing the right product.
red94chev replied to rayluka's question in Paint Correction & Polishing
That definitely looks like it would come out with some correcting polish. I fixed a truck a couple years back that had a similar condition after a tarp came loose on the bedside. -
Possible to polish out
red94chev replied to m1lkb0x's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Well it's already messed up, if it were me, I'd try some wet sanding and polishing. What do you have to lose? -
IK Foamer with Iron Remover
red94chev replied to Editguy's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
I've foamed the Iron Remover. Worked just fine for me. -
Heavy Correcting / Microfiber Pads
red94chev replied to jstaples17's question in Paint Correction & Polishing
Another point to make, sometimes microfiber pads will leave a slight haze on an otherwise "corrected" surface so make sure you're not chasing that. I always finish down with foam. -
Lifted truck undercarriage
red94chev replied to Devon527's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
Foam it and get a junky sponge to hit all the powdered stuff. I would maintain it with Ceramic Boost. And take a lug nut bussh and clean along your pinch weld seem under the doors! -
Blue old style tire brush
red94chev replied to buffalobob920's question in Towels, Brushes, & Accessories
I prefer my old blue one too, much stiffer bristles for a deeper scrub. -

One thing I will say is to pull it out in the sunlight and reassess the paint. Some of the stuff you can see with led lights, you can't see so easily in natural light. Therefore, you're chasing something that isn't worth taking off more paint.

Adams Rubber cleaner question (pic)
red94chev replied to Aurora85's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
VRT is water based and Tire Shine has very minimal silicone. Both are a much better option than any store brand tire shines. -
Adams Rubber cleaner question (pic)
red94chev replied to Aurora85's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
Keep cleaning till the suds stay white. It sounds like you are new to Adams TRC so you may not be using Adams Tire Shine or VRT. Cheap silicone based tire shines will cause a lot of browning too. Lastly, I recommend picking up a stiff short bristled brush to really deep clean them and then maintain with the Adams brush and VRT or Adams TS. -
I'm not a professional body guy but I believe they typically sand, wipe with some kind of a paint prep solvent, then paint/clear.

Well the damage is done but you can kind of preserve it from here. Once the clearcoat is dead, UV eats up the base color pretty fast. At minimum, try to keep a good layer of protection on it, ceramic coating would probably be best. You can also wetsand it to remove some of the "loose/dead" clearcoat before coating/sealant to ensure you're actually bonding to athe best surface.

First time: Adam's Wheel Cleaner
red94chev replied to xPsycho's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
I would try some revive or finishing polish and see what happens. Looks like it may have sat on the wheel for too long. Were you in sunlight or were the wheels warm? -
SOLD

Ceramic coating screw up
red94chev replied to carguy24hrs's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
I had a couple high spots in the last coating I did. Revive knocked them down the next day, finishing polish by hand should work ok also. -

Replied

Snatch it up! It really is a great machine and an absolute workhorse.

I can do that if nobody wants the whole package within a couple weeks.

Hey everyone, I think the time has come to sell my Flex. It is lightly used and in GREAT condition. I'd say I used it on roughly 10 cars. It is an awesome machine but I just don't use it anymore. I am the original purchaser and I got it from Adams. It will come with all the pads also so add some polish and you'll be good to go! 3 used finishing 3 new finishing 1 new microfiber finishing 3 used cutting 2 used microfiber cutting 1 new cutting 2 black sealant 2 red glaze I'm looking to get $300 plus shipping for it. I am located in Cecil County, MD if anyone would be interested in local pickup. - Jake

Detailer's Domain is in northern NJ and would definitely be able to get you fixed up. Best part is he/they have a great relationship with Adams and they are a licensed Adams seller.

Buying a car from Northern US
red94chev replied to Nerfherderiam's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
I use APC in my foam cannon for pre-wash on cars that I'm detailing. I think that would be your best bet. If you have the snub-nose pressure washer handle, that would make it even easier to get under the car. So I would: Powerwash undercarriage Foam undercarriage with APC (I use 4oz in the cannon and a little bit of car shampoo might make it cling a better) Powerwash/foam the car and strip wash Pull the wheels and deep clean them seperately And then go ahead and do whatever cleaning/claying/polishing/protecting you think is necessary -
Buying a car from Northern US
red94chev replied to Nerfherderiam's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
What year is said Forester? If there's any severe rust already, then the damage is pretty much done. A good pressure washing and APC foaming/cleaning of the undercarriage never hurts. Treat the exterior as normal.
