  1. this is the way to go, started this a long time ago and has been a staple part of my changing wash/polishing processes. I have 5 great whites...and might end up with more haha, I had 7 or so but gave them to friends.
  2. It lives up to everything said about it, and more! After driving many many different model s of ferrari's while I worked there that car is like no other. With exception of the Enzo, SA Aperta and F40 it is in my top 5 for sure. I quote ferris bueler, "It's so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." haha
  3. Thank sir No kidding right, thats what automated washes give you, those lower bristles just loaded with dirt. Didnt come out well in the pics but you can see the lines parallel to the ground where they hit the paint. 1500 grit sandpaper may have been better haha Thanks again man! I hate leaving stuff still with defects but I didnt feel comfortable going longer with it. Should be just fine for his wife Best gift man, very good idea for your dad! Im 22 and my dad passed away when I was 17, wish I could do that for him but every time my grandparents come up I make sure that his vehicle looks absolutely perfect when he goes to leave. Nice SS too man!
  4. And this is why I left the lower door/rocker and bumper for today, the pictures will speak for themselves. Rear bumper Lower door Before After Not completely finished out but with how much compounding that took place this will look much better and much more would be unwise, and is actually curved back from you as you view it so it will look just great in the end. This greeted me on the hood in the morning today, sawdust haha, I was doing the work in a carpentry warehouse. had lots of room so that was nice. Finished up Finally as mafioso as it should look . Car battled me but with time I was able to win I believe. Thanks for all the kind words and for looking everyone!
  5. Murder victim for sure! pronounced dead but somehow I brought her back to life You can do it man, youll get close with adams stuff, had to use more aggressive x-brand stuff for the initial cut but in conjunction fine machine was used to finish down, stuff is money. Glad to be able to help ya out, let me know if you get that work, time and patience are my virtues in detailing, everything can go wrong fast but patience rules all. Im with you on that removing the badges, love the sleep look, see if I can talk him into it. She is surely a dusky jewel now as jim morrison would say haha Rough business for sure mook, brought it back though, love the ones that are destroyed! This car seems to have spent a few nights in the dunk tank haha Thanks alot!
  6. I'd drive a mary kay caddy any day! and rich LeMans blue looks best on vettes you know that !
  7. yeah the wife drives it hard and is definitely a momma mobile so its only one of its army haha. sad though, but not anymore since I got my hands on it. Haha glad someone noticed that. I mentioned it to the owner they were starting to look bad and also asked him if he wanted me to debadge it and make it sleek. Still waiting for the ok on that so thats why they are so nasty, which is another reason why I hate emblems and is why my SRT8 candybar is the only one on my rig. Very neglected, like I said mommy-mobile that sees alotta work. And I am going to leave the clear bra as of now as he isnt sure what he wants to do but I may be putting a new one on for him come summer. Taking it off is usually pretty easy with a heat gun as long as the clear bra was put on correctly in the first place, which I do not think is the case for his. Edges are open, clear bad cut marks and symmetry, needs to be redone but for now and the rest of the Michigan winter it will stay on. Some clear bras can be polished out but this one I dont think can, didnt really even try as I took forever to compound and get the rest of the car to where I wanted it.
  8. After finishing up my friends 1000hp jeep he asked me to do work on his wives newer huge Yukon Denali. It has been taken through automated washes and is definitely a beaten mom beast of a car, soon as I saw it I knew it needed a good amount of loving. Just finished a full day today without a lunch cause I needed to work haha. For the most part I am very happy with the way it has turned out, gunna have alot of finishing work tomorrow as I got a brunt of the corrective work done. Here we go: Upon inspection Scuffs from whoever installed clear bra Tail Scuffs Pillar Scratches Deep Tailgate scratches Rear absolutely destroyed Mirror looking bad Waterspots Passenger Door/Rear Pillar Rear Handle Left Tail 50/50's Front Fender Actually cleaned up nicely in the end Whoever installed clear bra didnt polish before installing... Tailgate Cleaned Up More to come tomorrow when I put in more work!
  9. Just saw this and thought I would share. Cadillac CTS Adds Colorful Limited Edition Models Stealth Blue Edition looks awesome, I know the color isnt for everyone but I think one in that color with smoked out windows would be sick. I'd definitely go for a wagon manual V in that color for sure. Hope everyones having a good week!
  10. picked up a sick looking aston lol, I kid. My gf's cousin is an engineer at ford and worked with this car and the Cmax most recently, I really think the new fusion is sick, great pick up and great color!
  11. you shall be shunned for exactly 3 years for posting this thread . haha, guess you guys just dont get to experience the greatness that is snow...oh wait nvm thats not fun. Luckly I love the season change since I have grown up here. Also I'd much rather deal with a snow storm than a hurricane .
  12. Oh ok, had a family friends apply there, they deny alot of people haha. nice work, my girlfriends mom got her masters from rutgers, know thats still like an hour away and random but whatever hah. I go to Michigan State, make sure to throw up some pics once you get to use the goods.
  13. congrats on the first order! guessing college student? same here, your spring break will be great, Adams is yet to disappoint me.
  14. I use APC when in the garage as well, your other best bet is some pumice soap like Gojo. When I was working at Ferrari the mechanics there showed me it and they have it home depot, absolutely love it for after working on the jeep or finishing up a detail with nasty hands.
  15. man sick vdub, love that 4th pic down where everyone is staring at your car haha, thats an awesome candid shot. thanks for sharing up!
  16. very nice! my girlfriend has the last gen of the 3 hatchback, I love the way they went with it, looks much better with yours, love the choice of manual too!
  17. haha thats awesome, someone should do a video of cleaning with it on the tires and everything cleaning. Looks like alien stuff!
  18. My winter wheels on the jeep are plastidipped and when they look like crap I have been doing this. -Spray down with water -1) use soap and water with mitt if not bad -2) if bad go with a spray of 50/50 all purpose cleaner and agitate with wheel woolies -Spray off (spray stuff off twice as long as usual to make sure no apc is left) -Dry off and some In&out for just looks, but more than likely VRT milk sit back and enjoy the beauty
  19. Ive heard nothing but great stuff about the black/white makita 18v sets. Few friends got them for stuff around the house. I know people hate on Ryobi but the 18v set I have for them has been great for small projects, just lately made an entertainment system and island from scratch using it and it didn't skip a beat. Think ill be picking up the makita set soon though and giving the ryobi set to my mom since I am moved out now, and it will be easy for her to use than our old corded milwaukee haha.
  20. your sister is awesome, driving a sick V. Nice clean up man! there is a lady that drives one on my hometown but its a V wagon with a 6-speed...yeah I want to meet her as a 22 year old haha. Thanks for posting up man!
  21. Every time I see your jeep makes me want to add a wrangler to be friends with my SRT. I love that LED light bar, remember seeing pics a bit back, you know how many lumens that thing puts out?
  22. That new Ram is sick, great choice man! now just give it some time and throw some twins on the G8 and call it a day haha. Post some up when you get yours, plant is so close up here I should grab it and drive it down to ya!
  23. Makes you feel tiny right? haha seeing mine next to his is weird, knowing they look almost exactly the same, the the HP his setup is possible of handling is almost 1000 more than mine haha. Thanks nick! hope all is well, think your italian ladies are missin ya back at cauley
  24. What this guy said ^^^ As per Adams forums rules I am not allowed to, and as I love it here I am not gunna make that mistake. To be fair, I could have used another product to finish as well, but have found Fine Machine in my hands every time I go to make that final look perfect. I <3 FMP
