Welcome to the forum! Sweet mini!

Welcome Doug! On the really deep ones, you might want to try the 4" attachment for the cordless drill. Use that with some correcting polish and see if it works. If that doesnt do it, you might have to go over it a little with 2,000 wet sand, then go back and use the 4" drill pad to buff out, then of course follow with a swirl killer/polisher to remove the swirl marks left by the rotary from the drill attachment. Adam's actually has a video on this process that I personally found very helpful. This is the process I had to do on my car to eliminate a few of the deep ones! Hope this helps! Theres plenty of guys on this forum with much more experience than me, so im sure they can chime in and give you more guidance also!

Welcome to the forum! I know the feeling when it comes to being hooked on Adam's! For me, it got worse with time! You definitely picked the right place to educate yourself, theres lots of experienced detailers here who are always happy to help any way they can! Dont hesitate to ask if you have a question....

Hey Keith, welcome to the forum! Glad to see you chose the right products! Adam's has some amazing stuff...I wouldnt use anything else! Yes theres tons of information on here...if you look in the detailing library you will probably find most of what you need...you can also find tons of how to videos made by Adam's themselves on just about every topic as well. I can tell you from experience, you will probably wanna start off with a clay mitt and probably some Iron remover, then move on to a 3 step polish to perform a full paint correction before applying ceramic coating. You always want to start with a fully corrected finish before coating because once its coated any correction will be considerably harder. Theres tons of way more knowledgeable detailers here than me so Im sure they will chime in soon and give you more details than I am providing! Post up some pics of your ride, we love pictures around here!

So I used Brilliant Glaze on the inside of my windshield and I absolutely love the results! Amazing! I am thinking about doing the inside of all my windows..(doors, back glass) as well...is this recommended? I do have tint. Not sure if that makes a difference, since it didn't seem to matter on the shade band portion of my windshield?

I have a black car and live in Florida so I deal with this regularly. I usually do a waterless wash, very carefully. I will use multiple towels , using the waterless wash waffle towel first. After one pass I flip to a clean side, etc. Then I usually will come back after I have cleaned the pollen off and hit with a coat of detail spray, of course using a new clean towel again. This seems to help keep the pollen from sticking to the paint as much. I have not had any issues with scratches. I also wash my car twice a week (once with foam gun and once with foam cannon) so I am only using the waterless wash in between washes and only if theres a light pollen or dust on the car. The car is garage kept, so let me clarify this is pollen thats accumulated during the day only. Also, I use ceramic boost once every few weeks. This also seems to keep things like pollen and dust from sticking to the paint as much....As you can see in the pic below, my paint has stayed looking glossy and purdy!

when are these supposed to be released?

microfiber revitalizer is amazing! Not only good for polishing pads...If you havent tried cleaning your Adam's towels with this yet, please do yourself a favor and get some. Its the ONLY way I clean my towels now...they come out like brand new every time!

They are great about emails....I have used email in the past and usually get a response quickly

Welcome to the forums! You made a great choice by picking Adam's to keep that sweet ride looking good! You won't regret it!

Welcome to the forums...

Welcome to the forum! Glad to see you have chosen the best products for your new car! I personally have the 15mm swirl killer and I love it! If your gonna start with one and get another later down the road, I would start with the 15mm....looks like Shane has already covered your questions in detail! This forum is a great place to get guidance from experienced people who are always happy to help! Post some pics of that new whip once its home!

Hey Bryman! Dont worry, a mystery bucket or mystery box will be coming along soon enough! Be careful, they are extremely addictive! I buy at least one or two every time they come available! Some great products you will want to add to your arsenal would be....Detail spray, H20 Guard and Gloss, ceramic boost, Ultra Foam Shampoo, Waterless Wash, and thats just a few of the "must haves" in my opinion! If you have a pressure washer, be sure to pick up a Foam Cannon! If not, get yourself the foam gun. They both work great, I use them both. Dont be afraid to ask questions or for advice, everyone here is extremely nice and love to help!

Welcome! Yes, as the guys have already said....detail spray is for the outside so dont use on your interior! The Interior Detailer spray is great for inside though...spray on all your trims, dash, etc. It has an awesome scent leaving your interior smelling "minty" clean!!

Welcome! Sweet ride!

Welcome to the forums Mike!

oops I put 4/3 and its actually 4/8/18. Just realized I made that mistake. Anyway, hope to see some other Adam's enthusiasts out there....I will be bringing my M3!

Welcome Sathya! The I regularly use the Adams foam Cannon and I love it! I recently bought a new pressure washer from home Depot and it works perfect! I got the 2,000 PSI electric pressure washer and I use the MTM snub nose spreyer attachment also... Very good setup! I highly recommend Adam's Ultra Foam Shampoo... absolutely amazing stuff!! What part of Florida are you from? I'm located in the Daytona Beach area...

you have definitely picked the best products to keep it looking good! Adam's offers some amazing stuff!

Im in the armpit of Florida, Daytona Beach where it seems to be extremely hot. I always try to wash, then pull directly in the garage to dry. It really makes a huge difference. I will also frequently wash very late in the day, just before dark. It helps a lot.

Gotta agree with Rich. I have a ton of carbon on my car and a good wax with some detail spray works great! I also use brilliant glaze which really seems to bring out the gloss as well! After washing, try using H20 guard and gloss every now and then. Really an amazing product!
