I wouldn't advise polishing in the sun. Heat is the worst bi-product of polishing. If the paint gets hot enough, it will swell and soften, making micro-marring MUCH more prevalent.

Soft black paint is very hard to finish without micro-marring. I can get it close, but most of the time there's still faint micro-marring. May not even be the polish, it could also be micro-marring as a result of the MF towel(even high quality ones). I'm pretty experienced when it comes to polishing, but being able to finish soft black paint is very difficult!

Sweet car, love the new Mustangs! See too many non-V8's rolling around, though. Great you got the GT! What color is it? On the other hand, Honda or Toyota black paint is a b*tch to finish without haze!! Be glad you're not working with that!

Medium-hard. Very nice paint to work with, generally speaking.

Truth.

I find there's too much polishing oils left behind to go straight to coating with Adam's FP. I might need to lessen the amount of polish I'm using. Coating prep wipe down would be good. Anyhow, this product finishes very well(with the right pad) on soft black paint.

No problem! The cut is light. If you use a finishing pad and it's not doing it for ya, switch to a polishing pad and you should be good to go.

When it comes to medium to hard paint, there's many finishing polishes that can get the job done with ease. Soft black paint is a whole different ball game, and that's where Adam's excels. I've experimented with many and I like Adam's the best. While working on black honda paint, when I couldn't get anything to finish without haze, Adam's came through for me. It's the same idea as CarPro Essence(infused with SiO2), but I find Adam's to be less finicky. Does it have *durable* fillers like Essence? I don't know, but after a paint prep wipedown, it still looked great!!! Please don't change the formula, at least for a while!

Flex 4 3/8" backing plate or cut the factory plate down to 5"

I ordered some foam pads and they sent me the wrong size in orange(2 pads). I called and expected to send back the wrong size ones, but they told me to keep them and will send out the correct size today! Awesome, thank you! I was supposed to receive 5.5", but they sent me 6" instead. Going to try the 6" on the Flex 3401! 5.5" will be used on my 15mm DA.

Nice job!!

I ordered two of blue, orange and white. I really like the "waffle" pattern, as it will allow the pad to contour better on concave and convex surfaces. Might keep the pads a bit cooler as well. Also, Adam's trimmed down the height of the pad which should help with rotation. If I like how they work, I will be buying more. I prefer to have 4-6 of each color.

Watts is not everything. The 1st generation Rupes 15 is 500 watts just like the Mark II 15, but the Mark II has considerably more pad spinning torque. Anyhow, I loved the ergonomics of the Swirl Killer 15mm. If felt very good in my hands. The Swirl Killer MINI looks awesome! Going to buy one.

Love the way it looks and the ergonomics are awesome. Hopefully, the next generation will be more powerful, though. It needs higher MAX OPM's and more pad spinning torque. I got to try one and was a bit underwhelmed with the power.

Thanks! That's actually not tooooo strong. I think they changed the formula. I'm positive Dylan said it was either acidic or highly alkaline a while back.

I've read Adam's Interior Cleaner is acidic?
