Pictures please!!!

Those are extras?!

, Jacob!

Glad you asked this, @BigBlue2007/Jason. After recently getting the 15mm SK, I'm actually about to switch my PC to a Mini-like polisher. I understand the differences already, but good to know it will serve as an effective stopgap until if/when I spring for a Mini.

For a second I actually thought that was a picture of the garage door. No joke. Nice work, Andy!

PS will work. So will HGG. But neither will stand up to the heat from the wheels and brakes like Wheel Coating.

Welcome to the addiction, Ed! Ask any questions you have...

^^^ Post of the week. ? I think I'm more concerned if I compared my collection I might come up with a similar total cost. ? I'll just move along.

Side note...he's baaaaack! Welcome back, Joe. Good to "see" you again. ******** Back to cleaning interiors...

I was there today, as well...left around 2. But that's another story for another post. So glad you had a great time and got to meet Adam and some of his staff. Who showed you around?

I meant more for water spots. If you feel grit, that's outside my realm of knowledge. Will have to defer to others...sorry.

Yes you can. And sealant isn't necessary after, but certainly will help. Clay the windshield and other windowz while you're at it! You might also consider Revive to remove spots on your wheels, then seal them with PS, HGG or similar. Maybe even wheel coating.

So I will throw out there I asked the "what to do with dropped clay" of Adam during a clinic one time. He actually said the Visco clay would be fine to keep using. I was surprised, and it's certainly possible one of misunderstood the other, but thought I'd mention it to see if anyone had heard something similar.

No need to hold off, I don't think. Unless you're set on BG first. I'll echo the general rule is most durable first, then layer over that. But it's your car. Either way, this is yet another sign of the addiction setting in! Happy ordering!

Hmm. I wouldn't recommend the cheap ones, and the edgeless might absorb too much to be effective. Same with the great white, not to mention it's a bigger towel. Do you have Eco APC to clean the applicator before BG?

I have some. Sending PM

Wait! That's not what I meant. ?Red is a primary color of the Adam's brand after all!

Ah, come on, Van...red is cool, too!

No way to clean the Visco clay, you just keep stretching and folding it in on itself. According to the Visco product site, the Visco clay will last for dozens of vehicles, less for heavily contaminated cars. When it starts feeling tacky, probably about time to replace it. If it drops, it's a general rule you should also replace it (may have picked up something you can't see in the clay...but will see the swirls from later). The clay mitt is advertised to be used 20-40 times and can easily be rinsed with water during or after use. Super easy to use, it speeds things up dramatically. I love it. The trade off is increased potential for marring, so a polish will likely be needed afterwards. Watch these for more details:

The "black" applicator is actually the grey MF applicator, and they work great for PS and BG both. Get them if you can; and if you have a polisher, the grey pad is color coded for the PS. If you only have one applicator, I'd recommend you use it for the PS as even coverage is more important with that than the BG. Towels might work ok with the BG, but I've never tried. What kind(s) do you have?

I bet it would! Oh, and if you're gonna assess the paint presumably for what the WW may have done, do it before you clay as that could add some marring to the mix.

I store all mine inside, but for you, I'd recommend thick chemicals (sealants, polishes, waxes) should be kept inside, thin chemicals (GC, LIC, etc.) can probably be left in the garage. You've said you read most info, but in case you missed this, here's an article with more info, and that directly answers your question.

It should be fine under the hood, but the Eco APC will be a much better degreaser. If you haven't seen the videos, here are a couple and a forum article... Also note if you really aren't happy with the product, Adam's will gladly honor their 110% guarantee. Just give them a call. I tend to use diluted RW, as well, for much the same reasons. But I throw in WW every once in while just for the smell alone.

Too cool, Elias. Bet you're wishing you only had $7 cash ?. I know Emery works behind the glass, and he's known to be super helpful, so maybe it was him. But either way, Adam has an awesome staff all around... Happy to hear they took good care of you!

^^^ Lookin' great, Jimmy! Love the license plate, BTW!
