I don't drink but for most that is a critical step :banana:

Ah ok then make it a beverage of your choosing. Look at the great job pat yourself on the back then post some pictures.

All comments or suggestions for a better process are welcomed !!!!!

 

The first step was actually yesterday. It was to NOT let the dealer wash it before I took delivery !!!! In the long run it will probably save me a few hours of correction work today

 

So here is the plan for today.

WASH/CLAY :

Adam's Car Wash, hopefully the rain will at least slow down for a few minutes, wouldn't want it to get wet

In the garage for drying and then lots of clay, right now the finish feels like sandpaper.

Back out for another wash.

 

PAINT/CORRECTION

Inspect the finish and make the decision on SHR w/ orange pad or FMP w/ white pad. If I had to guess I'lll probably be starting with SHR.

But even if I do start with SHR w/ orange I will be following with FMP w/ white.

Next will be RP w/gray pad.

Then MSW w/gray pad followed by a layer of BW by hand. Last step will be BSG !!!

 

EXTERIOR

Of course the glass will get clay and BSG.

The tires will be cleaned with APC and dressed with VRT.

BW and BSG for the rims

Under carriage will be scrubbed and dressed with UCS

Under the hood will also get a APC scrub followed by I&O Spray

 

INTERIOR

Interior will get VRT on plastics and LC for the leather.

 

 

Did I miss anything ?

You missed the beer break. Have to stand back and observe the results of each step.

Welcome Aboard

You a skier Tom?? Come on up over for some quality slope time!!

Unfortunatley, no I hung up the skis some years ago with every intention of getting back to it, which has yet to happen.

Morning World

I don't understand, what part of that is a problem :banana:

Sorry I lost my mind but for only a moment I am back.... :D

Only problem now is it just logs onto Adams Care Care Forums.... HEHEHEHEH

Hope you plan on posting some pics of the event

That just blows people like this should have their hands cut off!!!!

Welcome to Friday my friends! We woke up with 2" of snow on the ground, the first of the season!

Oh Baby... Get those skis waxed See you on the hill

Welcome from another VA resident

I'd move out of California TODAY if it wasn't for 99% of my family and relatives being here.

No problem just get them all to move....

2nd Generation 7.5" Complete Machine Essentials Kit - Ran in and out of the house watching the video and was extremely satisfied with the results

Hi Nick and welcome!

 

I love your golf cart. That would be cool to cruise around the hood with!

Just going to goof off today......

Hey Guys/Gals! New guy here from Buffalo NY with a 2002 Corvette Z06. I plan on getting the machine kit from Adams and in spring get some good pictures of the new shine.

Good choice you will not be disappointed, the results with the PC are impressive to say the least.

I put mine in the dryer on a no heat setting with a few old plain white t-shirts so they are not only quieter and dry faster, but the pads tend to open the door on front of my dryer if in by themselves!

Thanks, Good Idea I will give it a try

Adam,

Thanks, I appreciate the information and suggestion about using the PC to spin the pads (how obvious) sometimes you just can't see the forest through the trees.

Thanks Again

Tom

Have always used PC's

Can these pads be put in the dryer?

Thought I would pass this on

This was the first time I had ever used any <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com</st1:place>Adams products.

Yesterday I was outside talking to a neighbor when another neighbor stopped by he looks at my truck then proceeds to comment how fantastic is looks and he was amazed at how good the color looked and how he cannot get his to look that good. <o:p></o:p>

I will bring the wine.....

Wow, this show sucks.

Never cared for the original Night Rider show so consequently I have not watched the new one. Thanks for the review. lol

I have been an advocate of hand waxing for years but lately the truck seems to be getting bigger and bigger that being said I made the jump to the Porter Cable and the Generation 2 pads and will not return to hand waxing any time soon.

I think that I prefer the 16 oz. bottles, i think that any bigger will cumbersome, when putting on DS, I hang the bottle on my pants, a bigger bottle will have my pants draggin' on the floor!
