I would do a few more passes using a heavier polish if you have it with a drill and 4" pads. That should clear up the haze a lot more. Then apply the longest lasting sealant you have. I just did mine for the first time last weekend and the entire process actually took me longer than I thought it would. It's important to sand completely and evenly before moving on to the next grit. Otherwise you'll have sanding marks that can't be removed at the polishing step without going back and resanding.

Best way to dry the vehicle.
varga740 replied to IowaEmt1991's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Are you using the towel dry? It helps to dampen it before use. This is what I do: I wet it down, squeeze the excess water out, fold it in fours, spray some detail spray directly on the towel, dry the car down normally making sure the towel is clean and finally buff it dry with a plush microfiber towel to get rid of the streaking. -
Updated Trim & Lug Brush vs Old Version
varga740 replied to 07RS4's topic in Product Polls, Feedback, and Company Input
The old brushes can still be bought directly from the supplier. But I agree that it's good to have an assortment of brushes. The new bushes seem to be better for most cars being that they are smaller and have longer bristles so they'll fit the lug nuts easier. I use the wooden handle ones for the leather interior. Just a spray of the Interior cleaner on the brush and gently work it into the leather then a wipe off with the Utility towel. -

26 year old window rubber molding

Same to me and same car too. Seems our cars have horrible rubber trim. I'm going to try a non-Adams trim coating and see how it goes. -
NEW! Merino Wool Wash PAD... not a mitt...
varga740 replied to Team Adam's's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Beautiful, been wanting to purchase one of these for the past few weeks. Was starting to get worried it wasn't coming back. -
I actually found an upside to the stickiness of the new bar. It won't slip out of my hand and fall to the ground easily like I've done so many times with the old bar. And it's not sticky to the point where it leaves residue and leave your fingers sticky afterwards, the residue will rub off easy.

Got mine today, it was a small pain to take out of the box but its very soft and sticky. I like it, it's easier to use than the old one.

Why don't you root and put a custom rom on it. That should take care of switching phones just because of the software and the crapware that's preloaded.

I really suggest getting it with the Recaros. They come in the ST2 (201A) and ST3 (202A) packages. The base model does not have them. If you shop around you can find an ST2 for under 25k for 2013 since the 2014's are out. Gas mileage is decent for a performance car. If I granny it I could get 32mpg but realistically I get around 26, oftentimes less. It has great handling and it's quick for a hatch but If you come from a Camareo or Vette than the power will feel a bit underwhelming. I'm coming from a 136hp 4-cylinder car so this in comparison fells like a rocket. The differences between the ST2 and the ST3 are much less than with the base model. The ST3 adds full leather seats as opposed to partial leather, HID lights, heated seats, interior ambient lighting, moonroof (optional on the ST2), power seats, and those are the ones I can remember. The big downsides for me is the wide turning radius and small gas tank.

Yes, TheRyan has converted and introduced a lot of people to Adams over at the ST forums. A bunch of us has dropped over a thousand on Adams products already all because of his massive epic thread over there.
