Geeeesh! So, I recently ordered a boatload of Adams wax and polishes, etc., and I'm afraid to death of using them. I've watched the videos a hundred times, I've smelled the products, got everything ready and I'm a nercous wreck I'm going to destroy my pristine new paint job which has not one swirl mark, paint flaw, scratch or blemish. The paint shines and reflects like a mirror. I lectured the dealer before taking delivery that I wanted only a hand cold water wash with mild car shampoo and no polish or wax applied and absolutely no wheel was to touch my car. He was a good listener because this is the perfect factory paint job we all drool over. The car sadly needs to be clayed right from the factory as there are "rough areas" particularly on the rear, probably from being on the delivery truck or even from sitting in the factory yard waiting for delivery.
I've already had a coworker who had to "feel the finish" and I about lopped his arm off as he was touching my car. AM I obsessed? I think I'm in the right place.
So, how do I keep my finish free of micro scratches and swirls? I detest haze and swirls and microscopic finish scratches. Do any of these products contain "fillers", because it has been my experience with black cars especially, that a filler glaze is almost a necessity for eliminating micro scratches. I know it is only a matter of time, before my car has a zillion micro scratches from just washing and drying with the softest and slipperiest materials available.
I know I'm sick and I'm a true fanatic about car finishes, but this new grabber blue Mustang has stolen my heart. Perhaps I should just put the car under a glass bubble. I need and some good counseling!
