Chase@InsanePaint

Chase, I'm not sure if words can describe how slick Patriot is. That, and I've used it half a dozen times and the container looks like it hasn't been touched. It is sooooooooooooooo easy to apply a thin coat! I now believe this costs less per application than Americana. The only reason I put a second coat of Patriot on was because it shouldn't last that long or smell so good.
 
While I have the new polishes/pads, I haven't used them yet. So, why don't you spill the beans on these new towels?

The amazing Buddy Birdwell Photography strikes again.  SO FREAKIN' lucky to have this guy on my team!!  This was taken at ride height setting #2 on my Accuair iLevel system.  This is part of his "Automotion" line of work.  Hope you likey......
 

PATRIOT WAX - In having had this on my Charger for a couple months now, and having that car only seeing Waterless Washes, I can't even begin to describe my feelings about this wax.  It is NOTICEABLEY slicker under the towel.  The surface tension on this wax is RIDICULOUSLY slippery, and it cleans up so fast.  And the same goes for the shop truck.  It lives outside, and is exposed to elements.  Most waxes I've used in the past, don't hold up as well, and allow more of the environment to breakdown it's shell.....NOT Patriot.  And MUCH less debris sticks to the surface, when I go to wash the truck, water & shampoo go shooting off the surface.  INCREDIBLY pleased with this wax.  Worth every friggin' penny......BIG TIME.  I'm not even gonna comment on the shine, because it's absolutely ri-gosh-damn-diculous, and everyone already knows that.
 
NEW MICROFIBER PADS - Thicker.  Stronger.  Beefier.  Better.  Period.  NO OTHER MF pad on the market even comes close.  No contest.
 
NEW FINISHING POLISH - I'm sooooooo impressed with the workability, and length of work time on this polish.  I've already stated that.  But what I have NOT commented on, is the stupid, obnoxious amount of gloss achieved from its finish.  WOW.  This polish, and the new finishing MF pad, have produced results I've never seen before.  So incredibly super pleased.
 
PROTOTYPE EDGELESS TOWEL - If the manufacturer can keep up with production, so we are NEVER out of these (like a couple of our other towels).  I absolutely DIG IT!!  Not only in the 16x16 usual size, but in a 24x36 size also.  I can see a use for this towel, as a fender mat, when wrenching on our perfectly polished cars.  I also see this as being another alternative for a drying towel as well.  MULTIPLE advantages to this towel being made & sold in a few sizes, as the quality is killer.  My advice is we also offer this in bundles of 10 with a good price break, like MANY other vendors offer.
 
LEATHER/INTERIOR CLEANER - Just wanted to remind everyone what a killer product this is.  I find myself doing door panels & seats, wondering - "Man I hope that comes out....I'm not sure about this one."  And this product KILLS IT.  Every, single, time!!  Don't think it gets enough credibility or kudos.  It's the best I know & never lets me down.  Along with the horse hair brush, it's a LETHAL combo!
 
Just been using these a good bit lately, and wanted to share.  Hope life is good, my fellow detailers!!

I have it, if you want it.  Fitted for a 25" monitor.

Looks awesome man!

It looks like Adam's has one of the shots for the new detailing guide and catalogue. That is awesome.

That thing is SICK! Have more shots of your beautiful Charger?

Great review. Having tried a couple of the products you've listed so far, i'll also agree that it is the best product i have used.

Thanks for the feedback Chase. I am eager to try the new polishing system but I do not buy new products until I'm out of the old ones. I had to start following that rule once I couldn't fit anything else in my closet lol. I have heard nothing but great things about Patriot and can also vouch for the interior cleaner, it's legit.

I was SO STOKED to work on this baby!  I knew it had some cool custom touches, was loved by the owner (despite the lack of proper paint care), and it had been painted by Goolsby Customs, so I knew I was dealing with a righteous ride!!  This client GLADLY ordered up the finishing coat of Adam's Patriot Wax, after seeing results on my FB page from other cars.  Here we go!

This thing was a blast.  Static dropped on coilovers & sittin' RIGHT.  And I'm normally not a huge fan of chrome.....but on this car, for some reason....I really dug it!!  Hope you enjoyed reading as much as I did detailing it!!

I know it Josh. I want a Rupes in the worst way now and I only do my household cars. I have a PC and Flex already and am also looking at the Cyclo. I think I need an intervention.

Gotcha! yeah Ive played around with mine but like you said I already have 4" drill kit and griots 3" and 3" adapter for gen 3 griots...and  3" for flex pe haha.  Im a bit obsessed with small areas, ill have to take the big cyclo off the shelf and play with it more, have too many machines at this point.  The results speak for themselves on your writeup, looks amazing man! guy better be ecstatic! 

Thanks holmes!!   Working the polish until it flashes.
 
The Cyclo has worked its way into my lineup due to testing for Adam's.  But ALSO, because it fits into areas, and onto panels where the Rupes & Flex don't fit.  I don't have a PC & 4" kit, nor a Griot's 3" polisher.  I have a Metabo 3", but I'm not quite sold on it.  The Cyclo is PERFECT for the ground effects, small & narrow panels, etc.  I have used it on almost every detail since I received it, and I'm in love, for the areas it fits.

You killed it brother, beautiful work! When you say passes are you saying working the polish until it flashes or a section pass?

sick bro!
