Any upcoming clinics in the Los Angeles area?

I have this exact one and it works great. How are you using it? 1) I put some Adams Car Shampoo in it (a couple ounces) 2) fill the rest up with water (not foaming) 3) shake it up 4) spray the car 5) wash the car down with the fire hose nozzle.

When I was shopping for my car, I was only thinking metallic black...now I am kicking myself for choosing such a high maintenance color. No more black cars for me

I only have 2, then again I only have 1 black car It all comes down to if you have the need for it the go for it

Thanks everyone for the input. BTW ordered the Focus Pad Kit and have received a tracking number (that was quick)

This was so close to me, so mad I missed it. Next time you have one, I am there!

For my Porter Cable polisher, I went to my local Home Depot, they have some good heavy duty extension cords there as well.

Tested it out on my Hood, and it came out looking pretty good. The hardest thing initially was holding it properly and keeping the right amount of pressure. So far I have only done the SevereSwirl/Swirl/Fine machine polish, but my hood is looking good. I did fix an issue I had where I had a problem removing the "Meguiars Ultimate Quick Detailer" that I had tried (pre-Adams Polishes). I will finish the rest of the car on the weekend and continue with the Super Sealant. One thing that I had a question about was when Adam and Dylan in the videos keep moving the Polisher after they turn off the power to prevent that polish residue from depositing. When I do that, the PC just wants to stop, I have to keep pushing it forward. With Adam and Dylan it seems to glide easily forward. Is there something I am missing? Also, how do I polish the Pilars? or any other area that is too small to fit the Polishing/Waxing pads?

Is that Bucket #1 (in the 2 bucket method)? Also thanks again mc2hill for the info!

Nice! thanks mc2hill!

Is there some place to go and find out the lifespan of Adam's products?

Thanks to everyone who chimed in. It is very much appreciated.

Followup question: if I were to also apply the Americana after the Brilliant Glaze, how long should I wait?

I am just about to make my first purchase for Adams Polish products (already have the car shampoo) and had a question on the waxing stage of the process After the polishing stage (with PC 7424 that I am also buying) what to do next? In this Vol 6 Chapter 17 video, Adam says that if you car is going to be outside most of the time then you should use the "Machine Super Sealant" and if it is inside mostly, then the "Americana" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WDMkH-6zj8]Adam's Polishes Video Vol. 6 - Chapter 17 - YouTube[/ame] My car spends evenings indoors and during the day outdoors (mostly uncovered). Before I knew anything, I thought Carnauba offered the best protection, now I am a little confused. Which should I get? Machine, Americana, or Buttery?
