I took the FR-S out on a run to the twisted sisters here in the hill country of Texas out in leaky. I had gathered a group from FT86Club and we all set out and ended up driving 337,336,335. RR 337 was relatively clean and only had minor brake dust and some dust from the road. When we hit 336 and 335 the roads have had some good shoulder work done to parts of them this leaving ungodly large amounts of white construction gravel/rock dust all over the place. Before the run I got the car all cleaned up and looking concours clean, pulled out all the stops. Part of that included dressing the trim and returning my weathered plastic back to the rich deep black with the Super VRT. Pics before said run. The rear valence got the brunt of the dust buildup and looked like this, And after essentially wetting the paint and hitting it with only water it looked like I had just dressed it even after 250+ miles of hard dusty driving! And the finished product after washing the entire car!

Both the Raven(black) and my color (asphalt) have an insane amount of flake and of all the other products the Adams BG pulls the flake and depth out the best and topped with Americana you'd never know I had the same paint as a car of the same color without the glaze. Sorry to sort of thread jack USMC-FRS..!

There are some really cool ones on FT86Club the only mods I have on mine are the leather matched speaker pads and center column pads, clear side markers, leather seats, tint, works drop in filter, hard wired radar detector, the crappy bespoke unit (going to get rid of it soon) and the royal treatment with every Adams product! I'm going to e getting and exhaust soon, either the invidia Q300 or the Perrin catback non resonated! Here's some shots of the car and Adams goodies!

Nah I have asphalt but man the glaze really pulled the flake out! The depth I get is second to none! Ill park next to other asphalt and dark shadow grey FR-S's and BRZ's and it looks like totally different paint if they haven't used the BG and Americana combo!

I notice the same thing on the plastics in my FR-S when water comes into contact with the plastics. I wipe it down after applying the conditioner with the edgeless utility towels. When i get runs i usually just put one spray of the interior and leather cleaner into one of the utility towels and wipe that particular area down to get rid of the runs. That knocks out the runs and doesn't really make a difference in the finish since i wiped down the conditioner a few minutes after applying it.

We should have moved the bed cover back up to the lip of the bed! Looks good bud! The racetruck is finally clean and detailed!

Finished product as far as polishing goes! Now for some glaze and quick sealant!

Shining up some 02' Supercharged Harley Davidson F-150 wheels! Ajay Browns truck! iPhone butchered the quality of the pic but these look like they're wet in person!

every time I see the new lambo's headlights all I can think is they took some Cadillac tail lights replicated them in clear plastic and made them headlights.

When I got the keys to my frs right off the trailer I did, 2 bucket wash Clay Fine machine polish and the swirl and haze in a couple spots Machine super sealant Brilliant glaze (have metallic asphalt paint) 2 thin coats of Americana Quick sealant on the wheels Glass cleaner/clay and glass sealant on the windows Svrt on trim/tires In & out spray in the engine bay to clean it up too Also dressed/cleaned the interior since I took delivery in the rain. Other than that just maintenance washes and once a quarter a deep cleaning!

I run river road on occasion (its a blast in the FR-S) if it wasn't so busy when its warmer out I want to get some shots of the back of it going down the road under all the trees! I think it would be a really neat photo! Just so many people down there... Looks good though!

I recognize a spot or two in those photos! TBSS is looking good!

Cleaned the 86 up and tried out the new wheel cleaner! Love the glossy finish it left me with compared to APC!

When the "car display" of camaros at COTA for the grand am race was pitiful due to swirls. And one of the cars said do not touch has been detailed with x brands products and the ever living hell out of the paint was swirled and you kind of just sit there thinking I know something that works better that you don't haha

Yeah the red poles are literally hollow circular tubes so if you just measure the diameter I don't see why they wouldn't work! I'm not too bummed about it haha I was like a kid in the candy store and wanted to see how much and what I can and can't fit haha

Ill second that! So stoked we went to the grand-am race! Also had help from them putting together the detail cart!! Also did the first mod to it since I don't have a need to wrap a cord around the handle I dropped a screw in it to make a hanger for the wheel brush I like how sturdy this cart is and am over all impressed with it the only thing I was bummed about but not earth shattering was the buckets fitting as the five gallons don't fit upright anyway but that wasn't a big deal! Just stoked to have it all in one place and organized at that! Thanks Adams!

Man i'm finding FR-S's and BRZ's popping up on this forum! stoked im not the only one anymore haha car is looking good!!

You taste test the soap as your washing your car! Was washing it and talking and I guess hit a lip funny and sling shotted water into my face/mouth haha it didn't taste as bad as soap usually does

Seconded!

Pics or it didn't happen! Haha ill be patiently waiting...!!!

When you avoid a local barber shop due to a dirt parking lot and willingly drive 7 miles into New Braunfels to avoid said dirt parking lot. Dad thinks I'm "ridiculous".... Forget about the dirt hitting freshly washed paint

You and me both finally got a filter for the car shipped today that I ordered and paid for a month ago...! Possibly the second worse part of car ownership behind watching your car get dirty!

Ordered the detailing cart and a couple other goodies! The waiting game begins...

Welcome! diggin the truck!

i should have ended my post with not following up the clay with a paint correction. But just for maintenance washes i wouldn't worry about it if i was going to polish a car, no sense in wasting time and product haha
