Wonder how it would work if you mixed the WW & DS 50/50? -
Americana Question
DP77/00Vette replied to DP77/00Vette's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Just got finished doing the F & R bumpers, top, halo, hood, and hatch. It's frigging UNREAL! My wife helped by removing the wax and she couldn't believe it. Especially the rear bumper!! I'll try to get some pics tomorrow at a show we're doing! Thanks Adam for another GREAT product! Dan -
Americana Question
DP77/00Vette replied to DP77/00Vette's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Just got the go-ahead on the Americana from the body shop owner and the painter. I must have misunderstood on the 6+ months. They said since it was baked, 60 to 90 days. Now if the rain and humidity will cooperate, I can get it done. Will try to do some pics also! Get the :glasses:ready!!!! Thanks! Dan -

Couldn't wait!! Tried a spot on the top and DANG!! Slick as owl dookie! Would it be better to dampen to pad with detail spray? -

It was Bc/cc, torch red, Spies Hecker, with extra clear. It was shot in a heated booth, not sure how long it baked. -

No he wouldn't do that. Not that kind of person! -
My Americana should be delivered any minute! My question is: What about putting it on new paint? My painter said not to wax or seal for 6 to 12 months. Polish as much as needed which I have done. I heard others say 30 to 60 days. The car came out of the shop March 9th so it's been approx. 2 1/2 months. What's some of you guru's thought on this? Would like to hear Adam's take on this, also! Thanks! Dan

Adam, I just got my 2000 Torch Red Vette back from the body shop so the paint is less than a month old. It looks fantastic but as always, we all want more! It wasn't an all over paint job but was blended on the majority of the panels. They buffed the entire car and did a great job and I want to complete it with some Adam's products. I know I shouldn't put wax on for a few months but I want to polish it. Looking at the video on page 1 of (New Gen2 Pad System Video is Here), is it OK to put pressure on new paint?

It's What's On the Inside That Counts Too!
DP77/00Vette replied to Junkman2008's question in Interior Cleaning & Care
Kind of a change on this post but, J'Man what kind of floor mats are those, do they work good for holding stuff and will they go over the regular mats? Thanks! Dan -
How would the Leather Conditioner work on a leather jacket? Would it make it softer? Thanks!
