I am kinda new to detailing with a machine and proper tools of the trade, but do have a porter cable 7424 and a ton of Adam's detailing supplies

finally cooled off some a few weeks ago so decided to detail the Xterra

if you see anything that I can do extra or improve on, please let me know!!

here are some shots: 

Once you machine polish, you'll never hand polish again.  

THIS.

Here is how I make a windshield disappear (so to speak).

 

Start with dry windshield (yes, just as it is right now-do not wet the windshield)

 

0000 steel wool, rub entire window until it's totally super smooth. This will take awhile but the results will be amazing.

 

Next, clay bar with Adams clay bar and some lubricant. This is just to make sure you didn't miss an area.

 

Next, quick spray of Adams Glass Cleaner to remove any residue form the clay treatment.

 

Next, apply Adams Glass Sealant as directed and allow to dry. Remove with a spray of Glass Cleaner. Do not try and remove this without spraying a bit of window cleaner!

 

Step back and smile. The windshield will look new (aside from chips, dings etc)

 

Aside from the 0000 steel wool, the most important tool is the microfiber towel you use. Without question, using the Adams Microfiber towel for windows is the ONLY way to properly clean glass. When Adam showed me this towel and the results, you will fully understand why there is absolutely no other choice!

 

Entire process for a Corvette/Porsche size windshield, about 25 minutes.

so curious to try this now

i have some marks from sand/small rocks from driving on the interstate on my windshield. nothing bad at all, just a 3 year old windshield

wondering if this will help any?

hey gary - i just went to my local harbor freight and picked up a very basic stool. four wheels, a small "shelf" below the seat, and adjustable height. cost me about $30 each.

I'm sure there are better options out there, but I didn't want to shell out a lot of cash.

picking up one of these today

thanks for posting this!!

i needed this too for some pillar work

thanks for the suggestion!!

Welcome Blake!

 

 

 

Lots of SVRT for the trim on the Xterra!  I use it for the trim on my Frontier and it keeps them nice and satin black.
