    Bscott94 reacted to RayS in One Step pad damage   
    Hi Brandon,
    My current one step pads have been used on 7-10 vehicles, I do have multiple and swap them out as I'm doing the vehicle.   I usually use 3-4 pads according to the size of the vehicle and I was them them out as soon as I'm done using them. and hang them to dry. 
     
    I make sure that I don't put any extra weight on the SK and if the vehicle needs more than that, then I switch pads to get more of a cut.  I tend to use the One Step as a middle ground between Polish and Compound and then follow up with polish and polishing pad according to what the vehicle needs.

    That can be caused by a couple of things, and I've had it happen. Overheating, too much pressure down on the pad, or just general overuse are some common reasons. How long have you used the pad? How many cars? How much pressure do you think you're putting down on the machine and pad as you polish? It really doesn't take more than the weight of your hand, maybe a little bit more. More and the pad gets overly compressed, braking down the cell structure in the pad and/or the adhesive between the backing and the pad.

    Go for a Sport/ST. The power is awesome. 315HP/350TQ. First boosted car, twins are awesome lol. It hurts the mpg but I wanna go fast lol.
     
    I had only driven Ford work trucks and the quality in those is crap. This car is so nice though. We love it. The size and looks were huge selling points for us as well.

    Got the car back a couple weeks ago but I just found time for a quick wash. I used the Red Unicorn Soap and dried with Cyber Monday Cranberry Detail Spray. It needs polished so bad. I cannot wait to find the time. Hopefully next week/weekend. I also debadged the back hatch. No more junk stuck around letters!

    Nice color!  I have been researching at these lately - like the size and look.

    I completed a multi-day project which was a brand new 2021 Jeep Cherokee making it look like a new vehicle and then putting a coating on it.  The Jeep is owned by the same person who had me do their Roush Mustang last year.  I did get one picture that really shows the contrast between being in the sun and shade and I was able to try to Graphene Tire Dressing and I like the results.
     
    The third picture gives a perspective of the stars being out during the day.  The picture is the hood that really shows the metal flake in the paint and a reflection of the trees.
     
    The pollen is going crazy here and the owner is picking it up on Thursday, so I'll break out the Graphene Shampoo right before he arrives to make sure it is spotless.

    CarMax will be fixing the chipped/flaky paint along with all other scratches/chips/dings including curb rash on the wheels. This will delay my paint correction and Graphene Ceramic Coating but I will have a way better starting point when this is all complete. Stand by for before/during/after pictures.

    I asked them not to touch the paint but they still put the bow on it. The hood is covered in scratches/swirls but so is the whole car. I knew it would need polished anyway. I plan on correcting the paint and using Graphene Ceramic on everything. I only had time to hand wash and spray wax before we left for the weekend but it cleaned up well. CarMax has to fix a few issues (see flaky paint below, hoping for a repaint) before I work on polishing and coating. I can tell it's going to look amazing when it's all cleaned up.

    Our Kia Forte was totaled around the end of January. We were looking for a smallish SUV. The top contenders were Jeep Compass and Mazda CX-5. I looked for Crossover/SUVs with Turbo Charged engines and this popped up. It was right at the top of our budget but I figured we could at least test drive it. I found a local Edge Sport in white to test drive before paying CarMax to transfer the red one. One wide open pull out of the parking lot was all we needed to decide on this car. We didn't even test drive anything else. The 2.7TT EcoBoost is amazing and with 29k miles, it's nearly new.

    It does smell a lot better. I don't think either scent lingers after being rinsed off though.

    I am the same way.  I always make sure that the engine bay is clean and I always wipe it down after each wash.  In between washings I will use my compressor to blow out and dust that gets in there.

    I will say, mine was damaged in shipment as well.  It was obvious it was due to the handling of the product and the fact that the box it comes in is not padded.   I didn't send mine back as it was still functional but it was much like above, the red lock was bent and let me tell u that is a sturdy part so it took a lot of effort to damage it by fedex.

    That's not the usual for Adam's.  But I'm trying to remember if mine came directly from Adam's, or if it was shipped by the manufacturer.  Either way, Fed Ex leaves a LOT to be desired when it comes to package handling, as does UPS.  My wife will use mail when she ships packages to our kids out of state. Costs about as much, and takes longer.  But they seem to handle things a little better.  But she also used to work at a UPS Store and knows how to properly package things so they don't get broken.   Sorry that happened to you.  Hope the next one arrives in tip top shape.   Oh, and wife says to print off another label and put it inside the box when you ship it back.  Double protection.

    I ran out to the garage and took some pics. They're not great, but you can see what it's like opened up and the measurements.  Hope it helps you.  The second pic, there's a smaller stool underneath the Adam's stool, but I think  you can see the Adam's stool okay.  Didn't feel like moving the car for a better pic.  These things are a necessity if you have a truck or SUV.  If it's something  you're considering, I wouldn't hesitate. They're a great addition and a lot better than the small stool I had before. Oh, and there are steps on the legs so you don't have to "jump" un 20" to get on it.
