You can use a microfiber applicator instead of a towel as well. I think its easier.

I feel the whole making their line simple to navigate went out the window when they decided to release way too many products, they now have a slew of soaps for example, and have even made their tried and true soap look bad in hopes of getting people to buy the more expensive/new option. 
 
As for your comment about promo, yes they always have 15% off sales, but they also always have 15% off discount codes that work year round so to me when they have these "15% off sales" they actually aren't giving you any additional discount as a sale. Not to mention that there are other sites with a huge amount of variety that often have 25% off and free shipping sales.  Last time I posted that I got the whole "they raise their prices during the sale to compensate for the fact" but that's not true as the prices remain the same after the sale as well.  

I sure hope they have not changed their spray heads again! The current ones have been the best ones for quite a while now. 

One thing I will say is to pull it out in the sunlight and reassess the paint.  Some of the stuff you can see with led lights, you can't see so easily in natural light.  Therefore, you're chasing something that isn't worth taking off more paint.

Man, I’ll tell ya...waterless wash, rinseless washes, and all the other tips and techniques are awesome and have their place, but sometimes you just can’t beat a good ‘ol two bucket, messy ***, soap and water wash job. I do rinseless washes quite a bit for maintenance and such, but nothing gets the dust, road grime, contaminants, and other particles out of the seams and nooks & crannies like a hose and a soapy wash mit. 

Told ya! ? Nothing else needed on top, really. It should last you a good month or so. If you really wanted, BG would add even more pop, but I love just the HGG on white. Yours looks great!!

I have been on this forum from the beginning and have always felt honored to be asked to be a moderator and help keep the forum running.  It's been a long time, many years.  
So with this being my 15,000th post, it's one of two things.  I'm either good at being a moderator..............or I got old!!  My money's on the last one.  

Thanks to EVERYONE who attended this morning's Detail Clinic at Adams Polishes! Thanks to our friend, Adam, for hosting the Clinic, sharing his knowledge, and offering great discounts for attendees!  Here are some of the great rides and expert tutelage from the event...
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

Picked up the new 2018 Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Camaro today!  They had it on the lift Thursday after arrival to put on the ground affects, so took a picture of the underneath.  I told the dealership to not wash it, that I would bring in my Adams Polishes, so would just need to use their wash bay, they had not problem letting me wash and dry it there (they know I am obsessive).  After drying installed the Novistretch (am a reseller for them as well).  That Crush orange color is definitely a head turner!

Well now I didn't say I would be paying for theirs!
Nice try Chris!

If that's the case, I'd like to try the Swirl Killer Mini, Swirl Killer 15, Master Blaster, Detail Cart, a random bottle or two dozen of chemicals, and a MF towel or two. What's your address?  

Rich,
Didn't think about that!
I'll call one of the dealers in Portland . I will have it the next day on UPS!
Thanks!

I love the shine that rinseless leaves on your car. Its much more noticeable than waterless. However, waterless is my favorite to remove bugs stuck on the front of the car. 
The only thing is that I cant get the same results as waterless when I dilute rinseless. Ive tried different ratios with no luck. Comes close, but not enough to completely replace waterless wash. 

There is nothing quite like having a paint job with zero or almost zero orange peel. Gorgeous work. Maybe I’ll tackle mine one day. I will say this however, I’ve been rather impressed with the paint on my ‘17. It is among the lowest or age peel levels I’ve seen on a factory Ford paint job in a while.  And lighter colors are more forgiving of orange peel than darker colors. Now if it would just warm up so I can polish and coat this sucker! G&G will have to do for now! 
 
 

Welcome to the forums!
Love the pictures!
Your car looks great!

The paint and luster is extremely good on the car, just want to get it as close to perfect as can be.I do feel the car does have way more orange peel than I like, more on the side panels than on the roof etc. I am not doing the roof, although I did do half of the roof without a huge difference in that spot, I am also not doing the trunk but the spoiler attached looks terrible, in my opinion  Areas like in the fog lamp bezels where its impossible to polish I will stay away from and any areas where I don't feel its needed I wont do, but everywhere else gets sanded. I am a perfectionist so if its not perfect, it will be !
No I did not use a measuring device, Ford typically has pretty hard clear coat so I did not measure and since its my car, not as worried as if it was someone elses. A decent amount of clear coat came off, not a real milky look to it though, as can be done if really aggressive as you know , didn't want to go to deep. Like you mentioned pictures don't do paint its full justice but the amount of orange peel in pics is different. If to much light you cant see the orange peel as much. My 2007 has been done and the paint is amazing ! I had 5 judges tell me at World of Wheels in Boston it wasn't factory paint, IT IS !! They were blown away ! The paint on my 07 is 11 years old. Here a pic of that car.
 
 

^^^ Shiny! My shoulders hurt just looking at it, though. 

THis is my car from a few weeks ago after a quick wash and brilliant glaze application. Used 1 coat and applied using the microfiber applicator pad. 

Wanted to leave my review here of the new ONE STEP.  I hope thats ok?  Didn’t feel a need to start a new thread.
 
here goes...
I got it today, as part of my black friday purchase.  I have been slowly winterizing my 2016 Black Tahoe.  Between work and a 2month old, I chip at it a little at a time.  Anyways, I have only paint corrected twice in my life.  Once this spring did 3/4 of the Tahoe and my wifes entire Honaa CRV SUV.  The Tahoe took forever, wasnt perfect, and I had done  three steps on it.  The CRV went much quicker, did 2steps, it hadn’t been washed in over 18months was 11yrs old, and in horrible shape.  Looks 90% better now.
 
Anyways ONE STEP took my swirls away in 1pass!! I was amazed,  i tried Adam’s blue pad first, but the orange actually ended up working much better!  This was just for a side panel.
 
Next- I had these horrible water spots that I found a couple weeks ago on the tailgate, tried apc, clay, vinegar, polished with Adam’s compund and finishing polish (dont have the orange), nothing worked.  Today I clayed then hit it with an orange pad and one step, and boom, GONE!!!!  I am beside my self.  The absolute fastest correction I have ever seen.  Swirls gone, water spots gone, paint looks dripping wet!  
Disclaimer- im not a pro,  this was only my 3rd time correcting and I use a griots 6” DA (until my swirl killer MB arrives).
 
 

The ride is ALWAYS better when your vehicle is clean.............not to mention it's definitely faster.  
I'm planning to get in a quick wash tomorrow AM or at least get some wheels cleaned up before it's "Turkey Time"........... 'cause you know the tryptophan will kick in right after dinner.  
I'm just hoping the temps are above freezing by 9:00 AM here in Jersey.  

My motto was, and is: "Gotta Roll Clean"

No, the Single Soft Towel is not two towels sewn together, it is a single layer of plushy goodness!

Don't use WC without wearing disposable gloves...unless you want the stank with you the rest of the day.

Sure, I slowly and evenly heated the area pushed in and about 3 inches around it. I had taken the inner fender loose and put my hand back there and starting at the outside of the dent slowly pushed it back out. You can push it out quickly but have more of a chance of seeing warping or irregularities. I've heard of people using hair dryers but that would take quite a while. The only caution needed is to not over heat the panel. I didn't polish the area then until it had cooled back down.

That looks like it has been snagged on something..(trim,rough plastic edge). Also,
I'm sure others will chime in but I wash mine after every car I use it on,dry on delicate heat and if its not fully dry, hang it up to finish drying.
