Are they rock chips? And/or on your headlights? Hard to tell from the close-up on the first and angle of the second.

It was overcast and rainy - the car is white - but I had to take a pic. First rain after PS. P.S. Top left is the reflection of a light post, not a scratch!

A little Adam's "Red, (bright and shiny!) White, and Blue! Location: Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, CO. Good luck to all!

What should be illegal is the water bill. Noted. I had to spend so much on the water bill, though, I needed to save somewhere. (But not at the expense of Adam's ).

Sure thing. The BW is good stuff, just understand it won't last as long as a sealant (or coating, if you want to go that route). I recommend this article, http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/27631-faq-should-i-use-wax-or-sealant-on-my-car/, if you haven't read it yet, to help you decide what to use in the future.

Completed a large-scale sprinkler project. Added...A LOT...of sod for a new yard , so needed to re-configure/re-install/install/move/fight with/yell at everything to do with 6 zones made up of ~20-25 heads and ~50ft of new sprinkler line. In dirt that may has well have been granite . Multiple trips to Lowe's, Home Depot, and a local specialty sprinkler store later, it's time for a break. But not in the sprinkler line. Did that, too. Also hit the TV coax cable running to my house - it was marked, but only ~3 in deep (thanks, Comcast) - but I have DirecTV, so no biggie. One word of advice, should you ever take on this sort of thing - spend the extra and buy the higher end sprinklers. Much better coverage.

Welcome to the addiction, Will! Great to have you along for the shine!! One article I'd highly recommend is this one: http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/27631-faq-should-i-use-wax-or-sealant-on-my-car/. Then, ask any/all of questions...lots of great info on here, and even better people. Looking forward to pics of your cars.

Nice shots, Scott! You might also consider some nighttime rollers...I think that car would look awesome under street lights.

Well done, Matt!

Closing my eyes. And dreaming. I. Love. Chocolate. Might just have to order some. And maybe give a piece or two to the family. (1:37 - "Enrobing room." Glad it's not the opposite. This is a family-friendly site.)

Sweet. Nice job. The black background will add a nice constrast for more Adam's stickers, too!

Agreed with the others, you can use the orange CP with the blue/white MF cutting pad. The orange/black one is no longer being sold on their site. Also, get one of the pad cleaning brushes to help lift the fibers, like what Nathan pointed out, and also to help clean them. Nice lookin' truck. Can't wait to see more pics of the finished product!

Wow, Nathan, didn't think you'd actually try it. But you're only young once! How much soap was left in the canister of what you loaded? He probably had to clay it.

Some tips: - If you want to stick with your Great White, or at least in the meantime, sheet/pool rinse the car before you dry. Highly effective and easy to do, it'll remove most of the standing/larger water drops on the car and one towel should then be more than enough. And ringing it out more does help, too. - I would still strip wash the car, so pick up some SW or APC (blue Dawn works, too, but many on here don't like it for fear of drying out trim...I've used it with no ill effect so it can work in a pinch). It can replace the wash you do before you start, so no added time, but added confidence you have a naked surface to start. - Polish/wax tips...watch all the videos (http://adamspolishes.com/video), twice, and read this article: http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/27631-faq-should-i-use-wax-or-sealant-on-my-car/. Then, ask any more questions you have...we have ALL been in your shoes at one point, and are here to help. - Agreed with others above, HGG is awesome, so I'd recommend you get some, along with the grey borderless towels. Makes the drying process super easy, too. Adam recommends it about every 3 washes, and I've also seen up to every 6. - For some really incredible shine, get the BG (and red or yellow hex grip applicator). It's not designed for extra long, or really much of any, protection, but man, it'll look great on that color! -And yes, correct order in you 12 July post. Good luck! Looking forward to more pics.

Post some pics of your new car!

Great to have you along for the shine, Greg! Nice ride. Looks like fun. But I think something in your engine sprung a leak!

Welcome, Roger! Those words could be a slogan for this forum. It also won't be the last time you say or think them. But it'll be a blast, so enjoy!

Great to have you along for the shine, Jordan!

Welcome to the addiction, Tyler! Follow this link for instructions (don't be surprised if they sometimes load sideways...we are all used to having to kink our necks !): http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/2044-how-to-upload-a-picture-to-your-post/

Welcome, Matt! Great to have you along for the shine!

The forum auto acronym adjustor strikes again - "I.P.A." (no periods) is what you meant. Just please, please DO NOT confuse isopropyl alcohol with the drinkable kind...that would be really bad.

Welcome, Kevin! Start with least aggressive method first, don't polish angry...and save your pennies. You're gonna need all of them to keep up with the addiction.

Welcome, Darwin! Great to have you along for the shine! Let's see some pics of that ride...
