    Just soak those towels in hot water with microfiber revitalizer, it pulls all that crap out and restores the towels, just not necessarily the color.

    I used a borderless blue towel (yes, an older towel) to remove spray wax because I’m a rebel. I didn’t see any staining on that one, but that also could be because I’m colorblind.

    Bright pink liquid stains white towel! News at 11.  Ha, what would be surprising is if it did not stain.  I have a double soft that turned light pink from detail spray.  It still works awesome months later.

    I love Adams but idk why some people are paying more than retail for any Special Edition DS. I usually buy them when they release to actually use them. To each their own I guess. I will happily view the chaos from the sideline.

    Wonder if it’s just DS infused with “even more” Carnauba wax?? ?

    I'm really interested to hear how this differs from DS, since it also contains carnuba. More, maybe? Seems similar, even the color.

    I had one of my buddies put a box on the roof of my car and he slid it off and it created scratches similar to the first and third pics. I managed to get the majority of the scuff marks out with some HCC and CP. The only thing left were some deep scratches that are barely visible to most.

    I'd argue it's BS either way. But yeah, it's wrong.

    Im not a professional but I had this same issue with my 93 RX7 and I was not able to polish it out. The surface was silky smooth after a few passes and there was no scratches on the surface but it still looked like this. Im pretty sure the issue is the paint under the clear coat.

    I have the same mentality so I normally justify my purchases if I absolutely need something or if there is a mystery box.

    Your car looks awesome Billy! I had the same issue with my black RX7 when I first did the paint correction on it. I felt like I made a lot of mistakes but I learned a lot from the forum/videos and I was able to hone my skills a bit and when I did my buddies FD I was able to have a better finished product.

    Even if they just do some limited edition bottles it would be cool. Or maybe they could put it to us for a VOTE for the next limited scent, and release to the forums early.

    How about a limited edition release honoring the Forums? 

    If so, consider taking inputs for the scents and label artwork from forum members, and then we all vote on here. Products created by and on behalf of all of us!

    That looks awesome! That's how the addiction starts, with one use of their products.

    rotary57 got a reaction from Hawkrod in Hello from Coralville, Iowa!!   
    Welcome to the forum! I started my addiction with a Swirl Killer and I basically built my kit based off the type of work I needed done and the budget I had. I was very particular of the things I wanted to try and I messed around with different carts and compared them. The videos on the website really helped me decide on what I needed for my car to get it to the condition I would be happy with. I started with a 15mm, a stack of microfibers, detail spray, visco clay, and the 3 polishes with the respective pads. It was a pretty penny but definitely worth the investment. I am also fairly new to detailing and I was able to achieve my shine goal with the help of the videos and the forum.

    100k Limited Detail Spray was only 100 bottles! This is why I now order 2 bottles the moment they go on sale. 1 to use, 1 for the collection

    rotary57 reacted to LS1Heli in Ceramic Paste Wax   
    I had a chance to use this product and at the bare minimum, its nothing short of impressive. The warm, soft glow it creates, rivals that of natural products such as my P21S and my high-end $1K estate waxes by Zymol (Concurs, Destiny & Atlantique).
     
    I washed, dried, clayed, and then polished with Wolfgang 3.0 and white pad at speed 5. My finish was excellent to start, but wanted to start from scratch. I took the OP's recommendation and waited anywhere from 12-24 hrs between coats. The more coats I applied, the more impeccable the finish became. 
     
    Like any product, new or old, you have to be an investigator. I tried everything, laid on super thin, laid on thick. Wiped instantly, wiped until impossible to come off. Tried numerous brands of high-end MF towels, both dry and prepped with QD. In the end, I found the middle way which worked the best.
     
    The packaging is great, glass jar with a very tight sealing cover. The smell is lime, not too weak, not too strong. 
     
    I attached some pictures, tri-white is not that impressive, but still gives you and idea. 
     
    Don't plan on running out of this soon, however, I would easily pull the trigger again. 
     
    Other products on this car are Adams banana tire dressing and in & out spray.

    Here are some pics of some black cars/trucks that I've detailed with varoius issues. No wetsanding done at all in any picture. Flex 3401 with Adams two step (sometimes three step) paint correction, clay bar, Brilliant Glaze, and Buttery, Americana, and Patriot wax used on various vehicles. Hope these help.

    rotary57 got a reaction from 8675309'SS in Newb Mistake   
    So I recently purchased a SK Kit with the heavy correcting compound, correcting polish and finishing polish. I didn't do too much research on polishing and I completely skipped the whole clay bar process. Luckily I didn't damage the clear coat and the results still came out better than expected considering it being my first time, but my concern is mostly on my cutting pad and my white pad for the SK. I washed my car before I polished it but I still noticed a lot of dust/dirt gathering on my cutting pad so I decided to wipe down the area that I was working on with some detail spray and a MF Cloth and noticed a lot of dirt on my MF. Is that mostly dirt or from cutting into the clear coat? Should I replace the MF Cloths and the pads I used? Thanks in advance. I have a black 1992 Mazda RX-7 FD3S.
