    Well, day 2 didn't turn out so well as you may have expected. But at least I know it's protected.

    Drive in said snow storm and this is the result. Most appears to have just rolled/melted off. Sweet! P.S. Yes, that's curb rash. Special thanks to the previous owner.

    Ditto ZMAN. But to me, that just looks like additional room to build another kitchen and bake more cupcakes, etc., for us lowly forum members!

    Add me to the list of washers today... Used the red throwback CS and some HGG. Calling for snow tonight and into tomorrow here, so I feel your pain.

    Yes, it's great stuff. But be sure you also follow the recommended coating prep steps as outlined with the kit, i.e., Ceramic Coating Prep, etc.

    Really, don't be afraid to use it. Adam has a chemist on staff that creates the forumlas has done well at his/her craft. I can personally attest to it not causing any problems/damage, as can many others on here. The chemical composition of the bottle is different than trim, etc, on a car, and the damage to the bottles was only over time and in full strength. Not at all like diluting it and rinising it off of a car, either. My two cents.

    I'd say Slash! Looks awesome Billy. Glad to have been of assistance.

    It was "eating" through the common, clear Adam's bottles. The chemicals weren't playing nice together. They switched it to a different one and no further problems. It's good sfuff, and won't damage your car at all when used as directed. Smells like ginger ale, by the way.

    That sucks. But actually, they make a couple products for this. The Microfiber blanket to curl up in and cry, and the Ultra Plush Drying Towel for all the tears.

    I hope to make it up there for the opening! And afterwards, head to Water World. In the summer.

    Shane addressed your questions well, so I'll add a quick tip for pressure. First, make a small perpendicular line on the back of the pad with a Sharpie. Then, as you apply the pad to the surface and turn on the polisher (in that order!!), ensure the pad is spinning slowly. That way you know you're applying enough pressure to make a difference and/or it's not getting stuck. Also, ensure you are keeping the pads flat against the surface...watch for sharp edges and curves where the pad could beat against the paint. Another tip on that...video closeups of your application and watch to validate what you're doing, correcting as needed. It will be a learning process, so take your time and you'll get in a rhythm. And as always, post some pictures when you're done!

    Revive doesn't have much correcting power at all. Instead, it's meant more for "near perfect" paint to add pop/restore gloss. Sounds like you need a little more. Does your fingernail catch on the scratch? If so, it may not be easily corrected, so several passes may be needed (or even wet sanding, in extreme cases). I have and use the PC7424, and while it's a dated machine (Swirl Killers are highly regarded in these parts), it will get the job done. And to answer your question, no, it won't damage the paint as long as you use basic, sound practices. I recommend you pick up some Heavy Correcting Compound and some Correcting Polish - or even consider the new 1-step polish as reviews have been positive on here - as well as the blue, blue white, and orange pads. As a general rule, most agree to start with the least aggressive method (CP with orange pad, in this case), and work your way up as necessary. Work slowly in a cross-hatch pattern, changing pads/polish when needed. Watch the videos here http://adamspolishes.com/video for some extra insight. And as always, feel free to ask any more questions you have.

    Welcome to the addiction! You've come to right place. Great info on here, and even better people.
  16. falcaineer
    Welcome!

    Welcome to the addiction, Charlie! Yep, you're on the right track. For what it's worth, you can swap the wax and BG order, but it's generally accepted to apply products in decreasing order of durability - next time, maybe try the other order and see what you prefer. Be sure to post some pics when you're done...and be prepared for some serious shine! Here's a good article for your reading pleasure:

    Welcome to the forums, PJ! Nice rides.

    And you can take a nap on your hood to watch over your (other) baby at night. ?
  20. falcaineer
    You can just jump on I-70 and it'll take you all the way here! Goes right past the Mother Ship so best of both worlds. And no offense to those in Kansas, but you do have to make it through there first.

    It's all I use. Love it. It offers different sprays depending on pressure applied to the handle. Watch the videos and you'll see it in use.

    Based on the emoticon, you apparently got Rich to dance...which is a gift to him and to us!
  23. falcaineer
    Welcome, Chris!
  24. falcaineer
    Yep, in this post. Makes it a little closer for me, too!

    You never know, Steven! If you do make it a trip, please feel free to bring me some Portillos (Italian Beef, wet) and/or Lou Malnatis pizza ...please!
