I've been using PCP and PFP on two big jobs, the second of which I tried going lighter on product because the first job had a lot of residue leftover that was hard to remove. But anyway I've found that there are still micro scratches that are real stubborn and won't come out. I'm using a Torq10FX polisher and (sorry) Hex Logic pads from Chemical Guys, using about 1-2 drops of product per panel after an initial 4 drops on the first panel, and going at speed setting 5 or 6 out of 6. I haven't tried the Adams pads because they're 4" and my backing plates are 5" and 6".
Maybe I'm not spending enough time and need to do one panel like three times to get rid of the micro scratches, but I thought for sure with these two polishes that a very thorough coating of each would suffice. What's the problem?

If you're using LPS the G&G is an unnecessary step. Use the G&G as a maintenance product between details. The vehicle will be sealed by LPS and won't need the sealant of G&G. You also have the option of glazing before sealing. It's entirely preference there.
Make sure you wait an hour after applying LPS to allow it to cure before layering.
Can anyone else confirm that H2OGG is unecessary when using LPS?

I'm bringing in a customer's truck tonight and he already washed it. I was going to use some degreaser and my pressure washer to clean up under the hood then give the exterior a good wash before starting the clay bar process. Since I've got a clean surface to start with I wanted to try to save a little time by not dirtying it up with the pressure washer and degreaser. So I'm wondering if I wait till the end after applying the Buttery Wax if I can go back and address under the hood and give it one final quick wash at the end, or if the degreaser will remove all the wax it touches. Input would be much appreciated!

Has anyone had positive results using the strip wash through a foam lancer and a power sprayer? I hate washing using the bucket method if I can use the foam lancer instead.

Don't wipe the PCP residue off the paint if you're planning on moving to the PFP. The PFP will remove any PCP residue. Or, use BG right over top of the PCP residue. The BG will take it right off and leave you a nicely glazed surface, ready for your LSP.
Oh I didn't know this. I thought for sure all the residue would have To come off first.

Hey guys, I recently started trying out the two step polish from Adams. On a truck I detailed this weekend, I started out with clay barring the whole thing then went straight to the Correction Polish, no wash in between. I started with the roof which went smoothly. I did the roof in 3 sections, with 3-4 drops of polish and a hit of detail spray for each section. The roof was a cake walk, but when I went to the hood is when it kind of went downhill.
Starting with the hood I noticed the correction polish became more and more difficult to remove with a microfiber towel. I found myself having to use detail spray on the towel to remove the polish. I was adding a hit of spray and 2-3 drops of polish to each panel, more so on the hood since I did it in 3 sections.
I was in the shade in a garage where the temp was about 70* and using a Torq10FX with 5" foam pad, applying product at lowest speed and the polishing at 5/6. Does this sound like too much product and overworking it? I kept thinking more drops were needed only because I swear I could barely see the product at some times, so I'd add a drop here or there.
Just trying to correct my game for the next time around. I think I added about an hour of unececessary work in trying to get the polish off.

My name is Nick, and I'm from a suburb outside of St Louis. A friend of mine got me hooked on Adams products earlier this year and I've been pretty much buying something every other paycheck it seems. ????
I'm a big car enthusiast, grew up in the Camaro scene but now my pride and joy is a 2016 Z71. I just started a detailing business on the side recently and am slowly getting customers by word of mouth and Facebook, and I primarily use Adams stuff. Just looking to learn from the pros here and make my polishing game strong. Glad to be here!

Not getting results - is it my pad?

Slow down the speed to maybe a 4?
