I was going to town with the visco clay bar and then realized, umm....
 
There is a plastic protector on both sides of the clay bar (just removed it on one side). When I was done I had some beautiful swirl marks to show for it
 
The good news is that the Adams Correcting Polish works as advertised and I was able to remove the damage quite easily.

"Yeah I figured the "damage was done" sort of speak from the tunnel washing, which is why I don't know about picking up the 2 bucket wash system before I correct it, but once I order the correction materials and correct it, she'll be hand wash babied. (I'll order the complete 2 bucket wash kit when I order the pads and compounds)"
 
Certainly your call on that one, but why create more damage by improper washing? The more damage you create by not using a 2-bucket system, the more aggressive you will have to be to correct the paint (i.e., more clearcoat needing to be removed via polish, etc). IMHO, you are better off leaving the car dirty waiting for the 2 bucket/grit guards than improper washing technique.

Lol. I did the same thing. I swear in Adam's video on the visco clay he only takes plastic off one side.. so that's what I did
 
Got about a quarter the way done claying before realizing the mistake. The good news is Adams correcting polish is as good as advertised

To be honest, I'm a little surprised by the direction of introducing a couple of these new products lately - This mitt and the sponge-on-a-handle being the most recent examples.  "Quick and easy" doesn't justify products that have a high potential for causing increasing damage, IMHO. 
 
I may be in the minority on this, but ideally polishing should be a very infrequent activity particularly with proper washing/drying and maintenance.  It almost seems like polishing would be required given the damage that the mitt likely causes over the more traditional clay.

I love my MB. I was a little surprised how close you are using it to the paint, even if it has a rubber tip. In my experience using the 8 hp mode with both switches on and some sealant/wax, the water should just shoot off quite easily from a little distance away.
 
This observation aside, it is my favorite tool in my detailing arsenal

Well, to be fair the price per oz was not adjusted accordingly when they moved to 8 oz bottles. That $30 16 oz bottle is now a $20 8 oz bottle, and that's the point the poster is making when stating Adams is "extracting more money from its loyal customers". You are paying more for less product, regardless of how you justify it.

Kudos to you all who detail as a business! Back-breaking work for relatively little pay vs time. Also I think I would be frustrated knowing that 99 percent will just swirl up your work anyway, but I guess that is just extra business in the long run.
 
I get tired enough maintaining our family cars, and I'm 30! :-)

Never...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Since I bought the master blaster -

I kinda wish we had clear answers to questions when it comes to this product. How often to use in comparison to regular shampoo, on average how much time of protection is expected from a single application, does it replace guard gloss as it seems like similar product, etc? I see these questions all the time on the forum but it would be great to get some answers from the Adams team.

Never got to try the red Car Shampoo... my first purchase was shortly after they discontinued the red formula soap, not very throwback, except I have plenty of bottles with the older label design.

Never...

Never. It stays clean in the closet since I've bought the master blaster.
 
Although before this purchase I washed after every use.

Very true.  I've been using my 16 oz bottle for years (maintaining 2 cars).  However, I will agree with the OP that the pricing of the 8 oz versions is a bit high especially versus competitors with similar quality products.  While I know the pricing change doesn't bother many on this site, I was a little disappointed that the price per oz shot up compared to the previously-offered 16 oz versions. 

Well maybe someone can explain to me why out of the 30 reviews that I wrote on various products 28 of them being 5 stars and two of them being three stars ( in my opinion of course) the three star reviews got left out.
 
Once again, is what it is.
 
Edit: One review was 3 stars and the other 4 stars. The other 28 where 5 stars.
Agreed. Although based on the number of five star reviews of the products it isn't surprising. No matter how perfect a product is you are going to have at least one or two dislikes so I figured there was cherry picking with regard to reviews. Disappointing if true.

I am done for tonight. To be honest though, this is crap.

first full trailer is up... Liked the first 3, and good to see Matt Damon back in the role.

Wouldn't matter to me if it was magic fairy dust. I still think it should be a clean surface (whether you use a waterless wash method, full 2 bucket etc) prior to polishing. Simply wiping it with a dry microfiber as you suggest isn't the way I would approach it, but we all have our ways of approaching detailing :-)
