    FarbeyondDriven got a reaction from Team Adam's in Paint Correcting Polish - Just 1-Step? I'd Love Your Input Please!   
    Hey Adam. in my experience you can use the same polish as a two step. you can completely change the performance of a product by changing your technique up.
     
    For example I can use cutting polish on a microfiber cutting pad, flex3401, speed 6, slow movement, moderate pressure, and be able to remove all the defects I need to. But for the people that want to two step to really improve the look of their car, or people with softer paints that need to follow up with a second step to remove "compounding haze" I could do the following.
     
    I can then switch from a cutting pad to a finishing foam (black/blue/white) pad. Slow the speed down to about 3.5 or 4.0, medium speed of arm movement, light pressure, and long work time. With the same exact polish I can achieve what I expected from a finishing polish just by changing up different variables in the polishing routine. I would remove compounding haze and get the paint to pop a lot better.

    Doing this eliminated the need for me to have two different polishes, but still allows me to do a two step if I wanted/have to. Which is why I go through compound 10x more then finishing polish. Pretty much I only use finishing polish on my own car, I cant really find a need for it anymore. Still hit my car with some good ol fashion "fine machine polish" that I stocked up on when it got discontinued.

    Your rotors should of been lightly painted before mounting. this prevents rust in the little holes and slots. I don't know what to do to clean them. But if you figure it out I would clean them of all rust then lightly paint them.

    FarbeyondDriven got a reaction from Team Adam's in I finally figured it out! Waterless wash   
    From the first day I opened a bottle of waterless wash I knew the smell. It smelt so familiar. But I just couldn't put my nose on it. Every single time I used it It would piss me off to no end that I couldn't figure out what the smell was. Well I finally figured it out!
     
    Its the smell from my favorite candy when I was younger. Waterless wash smells identical to the "white mystery" flavor of air heads. I was at the store today and saw a box of airheads for 1$ so I bought it because I used to love those things. And I opened the white air head and instantly smelt waterless wash!
     
    I can now continue to use waterless wash without being annoyed at not knowing what the smell was!

    Proof positive that 'special' foam cannon soaps are kind of a joke. Our soap works in a bucket, it works in a foam gun, it works in a foam cannon. No need to have 15 different soaps

    The only reason you check the weather report is to know which day is best to wash your ride.
