tjk reacted to jakerodz7 in Hand Cleaner in "12 Pack Kit' ?
I know this might be a silly question but is it a hand cleaner meant to only remove detailing products, or could it be used after spending a day working in your engine bay?

tjk reacted to jakerodz7 in Black sure looks good!!!
This give me black paint envy, then I remember how hard it is to keep black paint this way and I get over it for the most part.
Paint looks amazing! Job well done!

tjk reacted to jakerodz7 in Gum on my hood
When anything like this happens it always bothers me so much because people are so stupid. I actually had someone literally throw up on the hood of my old tc, which just so happened to be white. Glad to see that no damage was done and you were able to remove all residue. Whenever I see things like this it makes me feel like I need to get a camera set up for my car, just to be on the safe side.

I have a new Jeep Wrangler and I got it stright off the delivery truck so the dealership didn't have a chance to install the swirl marks. I have only used Adam's products and the 2 bucket system with foam gun or foam cannon. And blow dry 90% and H2o G&G while drying. There is currently zero swirl marks should I even bother with PCP or PFP with the Cyclo on this vehicle yet? Will the polishing help level the paint (remove orange peel / fish eye). Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me

I wish i still had my front wheel wells, alas, being pretty slammed my car wanted nothing to do with it. At least I don't have to worry about having to clean them I guess.

Look at my pic in the first post see how the paint is not perfectly flat or smooth that is orange peel fish eye is just worse most time one would get fish eye with a respray and there was wax or oils that were sprayed over

Yes, you should.
While the polishing won't really level the paint, it will make the paint have more gloss and depth, since you will be polishing out imperfections. Even though these imperfections are not visible to the eye as swirls, they are there and do affect optical clarity.
My truck was the same, got it new, no visible swirls, and after having it for a year I did a two-step correction and it was a very noticeable improvement in gloss and depth. The paint actually looked better polished and bare, then it did before with sealant, glaze and wax.
The answer to this question would only be "no" if the person did not use good technique during washing and drying and was going to eventually get swirls, so they might as well wait until there was more noticeable damage to do a paint correction.

I would definitely love to see that 4 gallons of your choice option for x amount of dollars. I don't think there would be a set price though, because a gallon of say car shampoo is much cheaper than a gallon of VRT or leather conditioner (if that exists). Still it can't be that hard to calculate.

tjk reacted to jakerodz7 in Full Detail including Paint Correction
I am fortunate enough to have the rest of the week off and am planning a full detail with paint correction as follows:
Strip wash
Clay
PCP and microfiber pad
PFP and white pad
Wash again
Brilliant glaze
Paint sealant (possibly 2 coats)
Buttery Wax (maybe)
A couple of questions:
1) what do I need to tape off when paint correcting?
2) how long do I have to let the glaze, paint sealant cure before removing residue? Also, how long before adding the next coat?
Any other tips you guys might want to share?
Much appreciated guys!

tjk reacted to jakerodz7 in Done with glass towels
It is interesting to see so many people post about the glass cleaner and new glass towels not working well for them. I love that combination and it works extremely well. Not grabby at all, not even on my inner windshield.

tjk got a reaction from jakerodz7 in Daily specials?
I just wanted to drop a note saying that Kourtney has been doing a great job with the daily specials. We got to see a great variety of products lately from correcting and finishing Polish to gallon size products, I think today is a gallon of carpet and upholstery cleaner. Great work as always Team Adam's
