Thank you for your input.  I am researching more into painting costs and timing.  I will continue to keep the paint up as best I can until the respray is completed.

Qt size is great.  If you get the half gallon, just think about how much product you have to tediously work, to get back into the gallon container it came from (of 5 gal drum if you fancy).

A foam gun makes the job easier but it just helps get extra product on the vehicle.  2 Bucket wash follows it every time.  

Hello everyone.  I am newer to this forum and I finally have most of my products in now.  (search in the unboxing section)

I need some help trying to find the best solution to "hold the issue at bay" (for as long as possible) until I can work up enough funding to pay for a complete respray of the ENTIRE jeep (this solution needs to last 18 mon to 2 years (with additional reapplications, of course)).

Backstory...

I have an older jeep cherokee with clear coat failure on the hood, wheel well covers and roof.  

I have a picture of the hood below where the left side up to the center divide has been corrected and polished (with a cyclo) x2 (after washing it 5 times and then claying twice).  I then sealed the paint and applied BG and Americana (Full Face-melter).  

I will state that the most obvious answer to my question is to have the entire hood and roof repainted... not to mention the keyed job on the driver side from front fender to back hatch (there before I owned it).

I just purchased the 4" focus pad set and dill adapter to go over the clear coat areas again and see if I can knock the flaking down a little and then protect it again.

Any thoughts or suggestions as to what else can I do with Adam's products (and some touchup paint) that I haven't already tried?

Help please.

Thank you in advance.

Ingenious.

Christopher...  I have granite counter tops as well.  They are "sealed" and so I am asking... I can still use glass cleaner and sealant on it without stripping or damaging the original hard sealant? 

Very nice Chris!  

 

Adam's used to sponsor a 'Detail Something Different' that really had some unusual entries(grills, lawnmowers, house siding, radiation detectors, etc.).  Maybe we can talk Nick into running a 'no prize' version of that again? 

Now that is a GREAT idea.  

**hint**  **hint**  Hey Nick... Pretty please (giving the begging eyes) can we do another detail something different section?

I third this idea.

lol.  That is just crazy.  Well... There is a new seals job, not to mention paint and clearcoat replacement.  (Not that that matters in this case)

That is AWESOME!  well done.

Hello Adam's Forum Members (AFMs) and new comers,

Here is a quick post regarding my first full usage of my new glass cleaner and sealant (other than on my car's windows).  I apologize in advance as I didn't see the "other" category until after making this post.  Just thought Glass cleaner and sealant went with the interior category.

I have 2 end tables and a coffee table that all have glass tops.  I decided to give the glass cleaner and sealant a try on them since they are all "tempered glass".

The results are AWESOME!!!!  Now I will note that each table has some scratches in the glass (due to 3 house moves in moving trucks).  But you can barely tell with the cleaner and sealant.  I LOVE these products.  I did NOT however clay the surface before sealant.  I didn't have time.  Just clean and seal.

This photo is of a pretreated glass piece (scratches didn't show up well)

This is a piece after treatment.  (particles are some light scratches that were not hidden in the sealant and dust)

They are so useful and create such a dramatic change that I got my family interested in Adam's products after this trial run.  

I just posted an unboxing of my newest order in that section which includes a glass cleaning collection and extra glass sealant.  The family wanted me to order it up so we (as a family) could clean and seal ALL exterior and interior windows of our house.  

nice job.  Looking forward to my wash and wax tomorrow on my vehicles (weather permitting of course).  

You should post up some of the updated photos of the '89 after adams products.

I am just glad that I was able to "try out" the products from a friend first.  But Word of Mouth goes a LONG way.  

Great Idea and true points.  Sharing this.  

Thank you.  Glad to be here.

Can't wait for pictures.

Welcome to the Adam's Forum.

I am sure, doing a full "face-melter" on the new vehicles will make them shine much better than they did rolling off the dealer lot (or truck).  

I understand as I just made a large first purchase myself (without polisher or pads).  Saving for that and still have not decided between the Flex and Cyclo.

Welcome.

I love at the products are all lined up and organized.  Welcome.

Welcome and looks good!

Hello "Adam's Forum Family"  AFF...

My name is Chris and I am a new comer to the world of Adam's products.  (purchase wise)

Below you will find my unboxing photos as well as a few photos of my cars.  I have yet to purchase the polisher and pads as I am still deciding between the Flex and Cyclo.

My friend Redaztec (on the forums from New Mexico) turned me onto these products when he decided to go all out and order up pretty much one of every product Adam's offers (not really but REALLY close).

It all started with me trying to clean my "New Mexico Special" '96 miata.  Photos below.  It only has primer and is a salvage title "piece of junk".  Great drivers car though and will be made into an autocross/road racer soon.

Before anyone asks... yes I am using a fender well brush and (full strength) all purpose cleaner DIRECTLY onto the primer.  The paint was rattlecanned before I got it and was done SO POORLY that you have to use force on the primer just to get the grime out from the pits and valleys from the horrible spray job.  It is there for a good laugh.   The paint will be taken care of later.

After that, I worked with Redaztec to learn more about the restoration and protection processes (youtube videos and experiences).

I have since then washed, 2 stage corrected and polished (cyclo) and sealed my 3 week old (to me) BMW 335i Montego Blue (Photo below after treatment).  I have also done the interior (except for carpet) photo included of the difference between paying someone to treat the interior (previous owner on the passenger seat) and doing it properly with Adam's products on the driver seat and console.

When I bring my Jeep xj back home from VA, it will get a similar treatment (though clear coat is failing and has been keyed to sheet metal before I owned it).  Trying to keep the oxidation at bay until a respray can be paid for.

I admit my fleet isn't the most glamorous but hey... I gotta start somewhere.  

I want to send a shout out to the customer service and sales team (that I dealt with)...  Adam... (of course), Bianca and Ashley.  YOU ALL ARE AWESOME!!!!!!
