  1. hmm okay. I know that the video says that they don't recommend covering the whole car with 4" drill, but I do have the focus pads on the way. I got burnt out after 3 days of detailing so I just decided to seal it up and put glaze and wax for now. In about 2 months or so I'll strip everything down and have at it again.
  2. this was after I attempted to correct the paint with less than 2-3 minutes per pass for three times. I didn't see any difference so I applied as much pressure and went very thorough until it was "flashing" on my 4th time for 2-3 minutes. I should have been more clear. I'll have it another go but with less time. I'm definitely not over applying (using 2 pea sized drops like junkman did) I'll come back with some pictures if I can.
  3. I'm having a similar issue on my black lotus. It's not as bad as the vette's picture, but I can't seem to get the scratches out that I CAN'T feel on my fingernails. I've stripped everything and watched the tutorial videos more than 11 times to make sure I'm using the same technique. I am, however, using a porter cable. Despite this, I've gone over it 4 times (about 2-3 minutes each pass with the pad; setting 6) and still not impressed with the results of the 3 step system.
  4. Thanks for the heads up. Adam??? haha I just happened to order 4" focus pad kit and extra sets of towels too
  5. I figured out the white pad problem.... upon inspection, the pad was torn around the velcro. It's weird since the other 2 pads are fine and I used the same techniques for all three pads. Maybe I got a defect?
  6. I am having the same problem on my lotus. I purchased the vehicle from an owner who didn't have a damn garage.... *face palm* It needed so much correction that I went to Adam's Detail and purchased over $800 worth of product. I found a porter cable laying around at home so I went over it 3 times with each polish (sshr, shr, and fmp). Mine still has a lot of scratches (not too deep since I couldn't feel it on my finger nails) and I watched the videos over and over to make sure my technique was correct. The car does look a lot shinier and looks great until I put the light on it and still see some of the scratches left. I think the first half of the car I was applying too much stuff, so I cut it down to one or two pea sized drops. It seemed to work a little better, but scratches would not disappear. I used 3 to spread it and 6 for the polishing. One thing that I have a question is that the white pad seemed to be "shedding" bits and pieces like dust. Maybe it's the polish dusting, but when I looked at it closely it kind of looked like bits and pieces of foam lol. Is this normal? I might try to wash the pads off and go over it again very slowly with a ton of pressure... or might just pick up a flex. Edit: Just bought a flex lol
