If you see white under the emblem it's probably built up wax, as someone said earlier you can use all purpose cleaner. My input would be using a q tip with some all purpose cleaner on it for the areas the microfiber cant reach.

I would like to take this time to thank Dylan for his almost instantaneous email reply to my inquiry and solving my problem in a timely fashion. As usual Adams takes care of their customers which is why I've been an Adams customer since 2010. In a nutshell my flex polisher was experiencing a clicking noise during operation, after emailing Adams I was informed that I would be receiving a brand new polisher and I would not have to deal with the warranty that flex offers. All I can say is wow! I've never had customer service this fast and dedicated. Thanks again, you certainly have a customer for life!

Have you tried pure apc? Just dont let it dry on the paint, i used it to get rid of sticker residue on a car i just detailed with a utility towel. Following up with a clay bar with medium pressure should get out the stuff embedded in the paint. Let me know how this works out for you.

Hi, i just got my flex polisher new from adams about a month ago. Its making a clicking noise in it, I opened the backing plate and saw nothing. Here is a video, is this normal? Also could i go through adams or would i have to go through flex to fix this. Video: Edit: sent adams an email already.

Hey all, thanks for all the input again. I just detailed yesterday and had some caking on the swirl and haze remover, but I think it was from a single stage paint job. The car had some rattle can spray and we have no idea about the history of the car. When I hit it with the fine machine polish it was fine, I didn't use too much product. So problem solved I think! I'll probably get the conditioning brush in my next order.

Thanks for all the help guys, I find adams forums the most helpful out of many I have ventured into. I put about 4 inches of polish in the width of a pea sized drop, the results were good and after every panel I would add about 4 pea sized drops (regardless if the pad still has some leftover), but not perfect which is what I was looking for. I think I may be using too much product, I have a detail tomorrow morning I'll see if I have the same problem again and report back. As for the panels being cleaned I'm not sure if I used enough APC during the strip wash, although I do have IPA on hand which I was using somewhat. I thought that a clay bar would remove the wax from the panels. The pads were cleaned with APC and hosed down. I think I may be using too much product though, thanks for the quick input!

Hi, I just got my flex polisher 2 weeks ago. It works great and I'm happy that I have to do less work than I have to with the porter cable. With the last job I did, the green pad had a solid caked up around the edges of the pad which did not come off that easy either. It also happens on the orange pad also, just not to the extent it does on the green one. My question is how do I avoid that, do I need to put more pressure, use less product or more detail spray? I added about 4 pea sized drops when I start a new panel (I think this might be the issue, but I'm open to input).
