    Yeah I mean I've seen what it does for black paint on multiple reviews and don't get me wrong it looks amazing. I just have white paint and my car only has 30 thousand kms on it so it's its not that bad. I mean it definitely needs to be corrected and polished as it never has been..  I just don't want to have to buy the FP and the white pad to go with it if I don't need too. I've spent a rap load of money already.

    Yeah I'm going to try the CP first with the orange pad and see where that gets me.. I might be able to use that for majority of the car. maybe. If not I'll just hit it with the HCC with the blue pad and if still nothing then microfiber pad. As everyone says to try least aggressive first so thats what ill do. Thanks for the help.

    Question when polishing... I only bought a 2 step 15mm polishing kit. (It was on an amazing sale and from what I hear the 15mm polisher is more then enough for what I'm looking for)
    This kit only came with the Heavy Correcting Compound and the Correcting Polish with the micro fiber, blue and orange foam pads. I also picked up 2 extra pads of each blue and orange pads.
     
    Do I need to get the Finishing Polish with the white foam pad? or is it just recommended? 
     
    Ultimately I plan on using Adams new Ceramic Spray.

    No, you don't need the FP. What you have should be just fine and produce great results!

    I used the Ceramic Spray Coating on all the plastic trim on my Hellcat. It may have made the trim slightly darker. I am really happy with the results! I would say if your plastic is faded use the Trim Restorer first followed with Spray Coating.

    Friends:  We started this shine-therapy forum over a decade ago!  Time sure does fly....doesn't it?
     
    Thank you for being here, and participating in this shine-crazy community.  Thank you for your business, and for voting for products you like and don't like with your dollars.  Thank you for helping us create better solutions.  Thank you for calling attention to areas or products we can improve.  Thank you for helping us grow this business exponentially, I'm humbled beyond words!
     
    Please, SMILE while you type....
     
    Thank you for not using this forum as a place to air negativity.  Thank you for always being respectful of other members, and our employees.  Thank you for  using detailing, your therapist, or exercise, or meditation to work through your issues, when you feel like life is tough.  Thank you for making AdamsForums a positive and pleasant place to hang out!
     
    In 2008, when we started this forum, we had 6 employees, and a few thousand customers.  Today, we have 125 employees, and over 300,000 customers.  One thing we have learned, for absolute certain:  WE ARE NOT PERFECT!  There was exactly one person who ever walked earth, who was perfect.  We are not Him.  We are not even close.  
     
    If you are feeling perfect, like your finish is 100% swirl free, and never needs cleaning or polishing, if you feel like your poop doesn't stink, like you walk on water, and are comfortable coming here to blast members or the company who pays to maintain this community, please, don't.    Need to get some negativity off your chest?  Find a dirty or swirled up car to detail.  Find a therapist, let out a primal scream, go for a run or hike, a mountain bike ride, go ski or snowboard if that's your winter kick, like it is mine! 
     
    There are many ways people like to get negative energy out. Blasting other members, or this enthusiast forum sponsor probably won't help you turn your frown upside down.  Please come, hang out, be kind, give and get detailing help, and understand:  We want to earn your business, but more importantly, we want your kindness. 
     
    Vote for the products you like with your dollars.  Don't buy stuff you don't like, but please, don't bash them.  If you cannot understand the marketing team's decision to bring on a particular product, you are probably not the target customer!   I have never watched TV, don't buy soda or potato chips, and don't follow sports.  Do I hang out bashing Coke, Ruffles, or slamming the Super Bowl?  Absolutely not, it's just not worth the negative energy!  (Plus, my kids, wife, and employees need me to be a positive influence.)
     
     
    So friends, I've instructed our incredible  Forum Leadership Team to permanently remove AF members who regularly post negativity.  Threads that are overrun with negativity are also going to be deleted, unless they offer detailing solutions or help to members searching.
     
    As the only AdamsForums sponsor, we want people to feel great about being here.  
     
    Thanks for your business, and your smile, and here is my Primal Scream, after getting this off my chest!

    Unfortunately, the toll free number does not work for all parts of Canada.  You would have to use the main number 720-473-7100 but international calling fees would apply.
     
    Another option would be to email orders@adamspolishes.com and include your phone number and ask for someone in Customer Service to call you back.
  11. Thanks

    Darryl.507 reacted to shane@detailedreflections in Coating Prep Question   
    Skip the second strip wash. It’s not really needed. In fact, strip wash by itself when polishing is a bit of a waste. Pretty much nobody else makes a strip wash. Polishing will remove anything left on the paint if anything is there. 
  14. Thanks
    Darryl.507 reacted to shane@detailedreflections in Coating Prep Question   
    I would wash before I iron remove. You don’t want the dirt to block the iron remover from working. 
     
    Wash. Iron. Clay. Etc. 
  15. Thanks
    Darryl.507 reacted to Beemer in Coating Prep Question   
    Here's a better order (IMHO):
     
    1.  Rinse car off.
    2.  Iron Remover
    3.  Strip Wash
    4.  Clay
    5.  Polish
    6.  Coating Prep
    7.  Coating
     
    And here's a smaller version of your sig pic.
     

     
    Good luck!
     
  16. Thanks
    Darryl.507 reacted to Bscott94 in Coating Prep Question   
    There's no need to was the car twice. You can just pick one. You'll want to use iron remover before claying. When polishing, always start with least aggressive and see if that gets you where you want. If not, go to the next least aggressive. You'll get plenty more responses but this will get you started. This has been discussed a lot on here so if you do a some searching, you can find many different processes along with reasoning behind everything.

    Just watched a bunch of Adams product reviews on youtube and Fiona (my car) is going to be getting some good treatment!
     
    Just bought a wheel cleaner kit and going to get the adams swirl killer kit as well because I'm planning on ceramic coating my car either it being the new ceramic spray or the original one. Haven't completely decided yet! but I know I will be asking questions here and there. 
     
    Anyway everyone meet Fiona!
