You can't cheat and show the driver, then passenger side...

 

 

Nice work. I LOVE the Carpet Cleaner!

haha thanks guys!

seat belt receiver is consistent in both pix

this was the passenger seat

Unfortunately I was unable to take more "after shots" of the int restore ... and by unable I mean too lazy :/

This was another great restore though bc it was being used as a work vehicle at some point

On to the paint correction!

Adam's CUC + a generic carpet brush + Bissell pro heat extractor on a 2001 VW New Beetle fabric seats

BEFORE

AFTER

What is max ambient heat? Under 100F ok? I would like to just keep it w the rest of my Adam's stuff in the garage.

ive used the 4" more often than the regular - friends with scratches visit often bc i can help

By your Adam's powers combined, I am Captain Detail! Go Adam's

how long do we have to wait between brilliant glaze and americana?

Wow great turnaround. What was the process and how long did it take?

Thanks! It was a 30 minute job.

First, I used a brush to get out the major debris. Then, I used a wet rag (water) to wipe away dust.

I misted the entire engine bay and front grilles (divided by Chevy cross bar) with 50/50 Adam's All Purpose Cleaner but then sprayed directly onto small areas I focused on. Moving one small area at a time I wiped away the road grime to it's flat finish.

Then I wiped the entire work area dry with a microfiber towel. 100% Adam's Super Vinyl, Rubber and Tire dressing was applied EVERYWHERE with the appropriate sponge.

Finally, the mesh style grilles and engine tubes/plastics (areas that could not be SVRT sponged well enough) was hit with Adam's In-and-Out spray.

It was a great experience and I am very happy with the results.

thanks guys! it was fun

thanks for the feedback guys

Actually, I did buff down with the proper applicator (thanks Dylan and for your wonderful daily deals)

I also applied this a week ago and this is the 1st time it rained since. I buffed that coat flat so not sure what "too much" really is - I wonder if I am even applying anything

Take a look at my plastic diffuser I cleaned with APC, 2b wash and applied SVRT to after just a little drizzle

any idea why this is happening?

Besides the longevity...it's all in what you like to use. What do you like the feel of sliding across your paint? I like both and alternate between the two, depending on how I feel that day. But like Dylan, and alot of the guys on here, I'm not a fan of the premium wash mitt hitting the lower panels. Maybe a mental thing, or that thing is so darn thick, the scrubbing ability is limited compared to a wash pad.

noted thanks

thanks for all tips guys

The difference is going to come down to longevity... the merino wool mitt will last you indefinitely so long as you care for it. The synthetic pads will need to be replaced every so often, but they're cheaper.

 

Personally I use my merino for the upper 1/3rd of the vehicle and use a standard 9x9 for the lower sections. Always seems like there is some trace amount of tar or nastiness down there so if my synthetic pad its no big deal.

Dylan - you are always so honest. Thanks for that.

oh man! I didn't mean these guys:

didn't even realize it at the time, sorry

I was referring to all of the folks here in the forum. I have really never seen a stronger forum community & liken it to a family. Glad to be a part!

I anticipate the answer will be the traditional Adam's family, "because it's just better" response (and I don't doubt it) but ...

... I would like to know, given that the wash pad is guaranteed, not to scratch or swirl the paint, then why would I need anything else (i.e. wool mit)?

Sorry if I sound like a jerk, you know I love you guys lol - honest question.

sounds good to me will come back soon and leave further comments

welcome to Adam's forum Shahid!

I have lost nine friends and family in both wars. I pray for your son to come home safe.

yes

Jay check out this thread. I know it is a long read, but it gives a great perspective on the type of forum members we have here - http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/general-detailing-discussion-questions/13473.htm.

Bless you guys, this is heart warming in a way I can't explain. I won't lie, it is a tear-jerking read and I feel privileged to even communicate with you all.

WOW! This is amazing! Go Adams folks and Go USA! Bless Damien & the troops!

That is very cool ... I will let the younger guys or guys hard up jump on this ... you guys rock

this place is really fostering some brotherly love - I love it here!

i am so late to this party

bravo! I am new to detailing - I can't wait to get to your level

Dylan - is this offered for gen 4?

As u can see they released the new pads. I'm sure in time that package will be back, but obviously with the new pads and not the old ones

I wanted this kit because the numbers work out so that the APC comes with it at the same price, otherwise you are right, I can just buy the four pads and the backing plate

Is this kit no longer available I've had it in my cart forever now but don't see it here any more
