I purchased an '81 Turbo Trans Am SE last week that had been sitting for 13 years in a barn. I'm part way through the clean up phase and I thought I would make a thread to post updates. This is what it looked like when I picked it up last week. I carefully sprayed off the loose stuff on low pressure at the car wash. 
 

 
This is what was left after spraying it off:
 

 
I soaked the car down with Adam's blue car shampoo in my new foam cannon. I don't have a pic of the car soaking as I was having trouble with my phone and the black car sitting in the sun was starting to dry. So, after wash shots....
 

 
Next up is compound and possibly polish with the swirl killer. I'm hoping it can take out these flaws:
 

 
I'll post more updates as I work on it but will probably be after the holidays. 
 
Thanks for following. 
 

Just saved you on wrapping paper!

Update:  Ballsy arrived, in tact, in a small box.  Good thing there was some packing paper around it.    Around 25 feet of paper. 🤣
 

Well,  turns out it was on the wrecked truck, they recovered it, sent me an email it was coming today by Smart Post, didn't come, sent me another email that it's coming tomorrow. 13 days for my Ballsy wash. Sure hope it makes it.  I'm starting to STINK!  

Tuesday now, and nothing changed.  Guess it's time to let Adam's know.  Stuff happens.  
 

Gotten a few extras! 
Looking for 4" and 6.5" pads!

Trade for what you want then!

I use three different applicators with Brilliant Glaze according to what I'm doing with it.
For the inside of the windshield, I prefer the Interior Dressing Applicator: https://adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-premium-interior-dressing-applicators
For the body of the vehicle, I like the Patriots Wax applicator, it is so much easier to grip: https://adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-blue-red-patriot-applicator
For the odd places, somewhat rough surfaces, the microfiber applicator: https://adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-microfiber-applicator-pads-2-pack
 
The Interior Dressing Applicator works nice for getting along the edge of the windshield and I do that last by putting the BG on the edge and going around the windshield.  It also washes easily to keep it clean and reusable.  Also, I've found it easier to use a spray nozzle in the BG and spray it on the applicator, this seems to get it more even compared to using the squirt nozzle.  That last bit of info was originally passed to me by @Rich

Quick update..I contacted Adams customer service who of course was nothing but helpful. I believe Dan assisted me... basically said they have heard of the shoe cleaner being a little stronger than expected. He said they use a different bottle now.   He was able to send me the new bottle and was able to locate another untamed SC label...(Its same size, the pic makes new bottle look larger). 
 Thanks Adam’s!👍🏻💯 I appreciate the quick fix.
 

This morning I was on one of the other truck forums that I participate on and it reminded me of how fortunate we are to have such good moderators on this forum.  
 
The moderators usually have a thankless position, but I am here to say Thank You to all the moderators of this forum.  Moderators voluntarily give up their time to help others and keep the forum running smooth and when necessary step in to ensure the forum governance is followed.  This means they have to read a lot of posts that may be of no interest to them and move posts to the appropriate location, educate users on the forum and participate in corrective action or testing.  Sometimes they have be the one to tell someone no and do so in a respectful manner and hope the other party does the same and have thick skin if not.
 
Your caring, professionalism, educational contributions and courtesy are noticed and appreciated.

We uploaded another little video with our 1st purchase ever of the fall collection. Happy detailing!

1.69hp, per Adam's comment on Instagram!

Let the quest begin then.
