A few fresh shots of a Maserati Merak engine bay, 1979. Done with Undercarriage spray on the sub frames, and inner wheel wheels, VRT on most hoses, In Out Spray for areas that cant be reached. Heat shields are still not reattched.

Here you can see a few shots of other uses for the Undercarriage spray. My Maserati being a mid engine car has a motor sub frame and most of the race style structure is visable. I used undercarriage spray on many of the componets. < Tip--do a light spray and use air to spread it out evenly. You can use the air to move the wet product to exactly where you want it. Admas Undercarriage spray has just the right body to flow smooth. Wait awhile and then reshoot it with air, you'll get a very smooth even thin coat, that sets the black frame work off. > I happen to use a Master Blaster set on one stage. The results speak for them self. Great product, easy to work with. This message brought to you by Josephs Collection from the Manlaw Control Center. Enjoy Joseph

I just did a total strip of previous wax on my 74 Maserati Bora. Using a 50/50 mix of alcohol, followed by a three shampoo washings, then dried with a Master Blaster. I support the alcohol cleaning, simply because the possiblity of detergent based cleaning damaging the rubber seals around the doors and rear engine canopy, become real unfunny, when the replacment seals can cost you a 1000 bucks and take a couple months to remanufacture. I then used a cyclo to lay down the glaze. Hand wiped that down, then used the cyclo and red glaze pads to lay down the Patroit wax. This being a Champaign Gold car, it's always been hard to distinguish the shine of one wax from another. The Patriot wax has made the color jump out and shows the depth of the paint. The result is as good if not better than waxes I have used costing serious money. I also like the fact I can call and talk to the guys who developed the wax, and get the info I need on how it reacts to diffrent conditions. That saves me a great deal of research. Hands down the Patriot wax is a top line product, easily providing concours gloss. Nicely done Adams.

I use the Cyclo for a wide vaiety of aspects. I do have several other units from random orbit to rotary. But the cyclo is very versatile once you learn it. You can do the normal paint corrections. Then you can swicth the pads over to sealants, and quickly cover the car, switch the pads again, lay down your layer of glaze. Same thing on the wax. I really like to wax the cars with the cyclo, I prefer the paste waxes. Adams conatiners will fit right over the pads still attached to the Cyclo, give a quick cross swipe and back to the next panel. You know that issue some of you write about on your Americana needing remelted? The swipe method on the Cyclo, wears it down nice and even. You can quickly lay down a very thin very even coat of wax. My theory is the machine tends to work the wax into the glaze coat better than you can by hand. This Cyclo took a huge leap forward when it went to variable speed. If you have some basic know how, you can even make up your own pads for a special issue. On one occasion looking at a car that had heavy overspray and tree sap and water deposits combined. I took the lids off a couple rolls of electrical tape, glued some felt on the back. Took a couple clay bars molded them nice and round. Slipped them in the rigged up cups. Ta da I know it looks different , and it takes some getting your head wrapped around it. But once you get your hand wrapped around it. You'll love the thing. Very good tool, I've polished, sealed, waxed, even saved a windshield with it. Anyway thats my input. This message brought to you by Joseph from Josephs Collection and the Manlaw Control Center.
