Thoughts?
 
 

Welcome to the forum and I have discovered that detailing time can go to "infinity and beyond"

Welcome

Thanks Kurt, like the old Chevy. My dad had one similar to that.

Welcome Scott!  Nice diverse stable there!

Saturday I applied two coats of tire armor on my truck. Could not be happier with it. I put 1 coat on my daily Ford Ranger and that is definitely a matte look compared to this.

Stay safe out there!

Friends and Customers of Adam’s Polishes-
 
We recently learned of posts on social media raising concerns about potential credit card issues in connection with transactions on the Adam’s Polishes web site. We place huge value on our relationship with our customers, and we are writing this post in an effort to respond to those concerns.
 
First let me clarify, Adam’s never stores or holds credit card information. When our customer types in a credit card number during the online purchasing process, the information is first encrypted in the browser before it is sent directly to our credit card company. Adam’s employees do not have access to credit card information at any point of the process.
 
We take security and privacy very seriously and we have been working proactively and diligently to address any potential issue. When we learned of these concerns, we engaged expert security professionals to review the concerns raised by our customers, our security and our website. All of the scans have come up clean, and thus far we have not been able to identify any issues with our website or service providers.
 
Adam’s is not trying to minimize or avoid the fact that people have and are experiencing credit card fraud. We are just trying to understand it and react to what is a very complex issue. At the end of the day if customers have an issue, we have an issue – we fully understand that.
 
As part of our ongoing effort to improve service and security and in addition to our ongoing software upgrades, we are changing our server hosting provider this week as part of commitment to improving the customer experience and security.
 
We appreciate your loyalty and hope you will be patient with us as we go through this difficult and time consuming process. Of course, if you have concerns about the Adam’s site, you can use Amazon, PayPal or contact your local dealer.
 
If you do feel like you have had a security issue as a result of ordering through the Adam’s site, please contact us directly at IT@adamspolishes.com. We will update this post on Friday, March 15th with any new information.
 
Thank you.

Thanks Kurt, nice stable you have there.

That is a beauty Kurt!  Like the others said, the least, least aggressive method first.  Give Revive a try, but you will probably end up using Finishing polish.  I would warn to be careful on the panel edges, but this body is so round you will probably be OK!

Can't see where it would hurt to use the Tire Armor after they're nice and clean and white.  Let's face it, both the Bleech White and Comet are pretty harsh.. Give the TRC a try and let me know.  Would be nice if something more gentle can get the job done.  

This is what Larry the AMMO guy calls the detailer's dilemma. If it were me the first thing I'd do is try and establish exactly how original the paint is. If it's a true survivor I'd do as little as possible. If it has been repainted then I'd be a little more aggressive. Either way there is only as much paint as there is. That thing is a beauty regardless. Love the character of those years.

Beautiful car! If you think the paint is original stick with the least aggressive polish. If you polish at all. Have you tried using Brillant Glaze and a wax (Patriot/Americana/Buttery)? You can also use Brlliant Glaze on the chrome.

I just purchased a 1952 Chevy and the paint is original.  It is in great shape but it needs polished.  I have never worked on a car that was not Clear Coat and the previous owner "thinks" it is a lacquer paint (it may have been repainted at some time) It only has 86K original miles and was garage kept so me thinks it may be the original finish.  Please advise as to the steps you professionals would take to make it SHINE!

Welcome Mike

I plan on using BG and Americana but it does have some swirls and small scratches that I wanted to work on first.  After all it is black and everything shows.  Ill probably need a gallon of BG just for all the chrome😂
