So used to your pic in the speedo, I hardly recognized you. Maybe it's hiding behind the sign.

Even the WC?! Maybe your nose is broken.

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.

Looks great. The green one, too!

Nicely done! I'm confused, though. The site says the kit should also include FP, a white foam pad, and the drill plate. Don't see them in the box (maybe the plate's on the drill?) - are they in there, too??

Sweet! Time to break out the LC!! (yes, I see it in the console )

The order is perfect. Some thoughts...you might consider a strip wash first vs. normal wash. It'll remove any residual waxes, sealants, etc on the car. Dress the trim with VRT before you start claying to make wiping off residue much easier. And finally, after you polish, wipe the car off with a 50/50 iso alcohol/water mix (blue waffle towels work great) to remove polish/clay residue. Good luck, and post some pics when done!

I realize it won't do anything for sharp emblems and the like, but depending on what you are masking off, VRT does an awesome job at protecting trim from residue stains. Apply it after the strip wash phase, before clay/polish/etc., and anything you get on the trim (except maybe the coating?) will wipe off easily with a MF towel. Then touch up any necessary areas when you're done.

I think your hood sprung a leak!

Maybe offer to send it to Adam's for use in their display at the company's main entrance...

Not "pretty good"...pretty awesome! Nice job!!

Welcome to the addiction, Rob! Sweet car! I considered the Camaro back in the day, but went with a 96 Firebird, also in bright red with t-tops (I preferred the pop-up headlights). LOVED that car. Wish I had kept it, so maybe some day I'll follow your lead and get another like it. Post pics when you're done adding more shine!

It's the Adam's Hokey Pokey!

Is it because they became "main engine sea water pump strainer blower valves"?

They're going live!!!!

Congrats, young man, and happy 15th! I will now be taking the bus until you get a license. More protection. Just in case.

He probably killed it while staring lovingly at the new stickers...

Quick tip - make a small mark on the back of your pad, e.g. black line. That will allow you to tell quickly if the pad is moving or if it's stuck, and also as a way to adjust pressure accordingly. Can be hard to tell sometimes. Sales happen all through the year, and I'd guess Fathers Day is a prime opportunity for another (I joined the Adam's addiction last summer, post Fathers day, so can't fully vouch). You can always use the forum code "shine on" for 10% off, too.

Woo hoo!

Agreed on having a naked paint surface before applying the PS. One quick tip on textured plastic areas that Dan mentioned...apply VRT to all your trim after the strip wash, before clay. It'll make removing any residue from clay/polish/sealant/etc. much easier when you're done, likely with just a swipe of a MF towel. Then, touch up any necessary parts of the trim to finish the job.

Nice!

Hmm. Ok, thanks, Nathan. Might have to add the new one to my next order.
