Thats rough but Im sure you'll get that all out. Have fun

Thanks Nick! Ill be sure to tell my wife that line next time I spend hours outside detailing my other truck

O man where were you with that switch relocation yesterday lol. That was such a pain with it on the side. It pretty much prevented me from switching hands. Thanks for sharing that though. Definitely going to do that before i correct my other truck.

Yeah all 50/50 are just after correction, No product on it yet

Thank you. Yeah there were some really bad areas. Previous owner did not treat it to well. Glad I was able to get almost all of them out.

I picked up my SS last June and since then have been hooked on Adams products. Ive been detailing it regularly but it was overdue for correction. Wife took son to visit inlaws this weekend so I finally had the time to attempt this. This is my first try at paint correction, cant believe some of you do this professionally. Took me about 20 hours. Here is the steps I took: - 2 bucket wash with Shampoo and about an ounce of All Purpose Cleaner to strip wash - Clay bar truck and used Waterless wash as lubricant - Treated the window trim and seals with VRT so polish didnt stain and make it easy to clean up - Taped the remaining areas and emblems that i didnt want polish on or that could damage pads - Corrected truck using a polisher from Harbor Freight. Yes i know harbor freight has some cheap stuff but this had really good reviews and actually did the job quite well for its price. When comparing to videos of the PC it appears the HF one moves faster (So reduce speed a bit form the PC videos) and vibrates a bit more (My hand hurts like hell) - At first to get hang of it I did some test panels switching from correcting to finishing to get technique down before moving to larger area. I did use the foam pads on this truck but feel that maybe the microfiber ones would have been the better option. After I figured out best way to do it and how many passes were needed I corrected about 2-3 sections then switched back to finishing and repeated until completion. - I did have to use the focus pads on drill a lot. There were quite a few deep scratches that it needed to be used on as well as the pillars and grille. - I then applied Brilliant Glaze (first time trying, got it in mystery box) - Followed that up with Liquid Paint Sealant on the grey sealing pad. I used Microfiber applicator for pillars and grille. For those of you wondering if you need to use machine to apply I would highly recommend it. When applying by hand it was kind of difficult to make a thin even layer. Very easy and fast with machine. -Finally I applied Buttery wax and finished up with VRT on tires and went back over trim. -BTW I love borderless blue towels. By far the best ones I have and made removing the product very easy. I have a lot of the discontinued silver ones, they arent bad but the blues are so much better. Need to get more. Got some before pics, 50/50 shots and finished ones. Sorry I suck with a camera trying to get pics of the scratches and swirls

Thank you all. Just tried out the rinseless wash over the holidays. Wow. I never thought I could make my SS look like that in the winter after being covered with salt.

Hello all, Merry Christmas. Just joined the forums today. I picked up a silverado ss this summer and saw the ads on the ss forum for adams so i decided to try it out. I feel like ive been washing and detailing my cars all wrong for years now lol. I have a small but growing collection of adams stuff so im sure ill have questions and seek recommendations. I did just order the rinseless wash, looking forward to using it and getting all this salt off truck. So addicted to this stuff I told my wife to get me all adams stuff for xmas. I attached some pics of my babies
