BlueGenCoupe Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Its there, under the hand polishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsford Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Never knew it was made to use with the PC. I've always seen it under the hand polishing. http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-612-adams-light-it-up-blue-kit-for-charity.aspx or http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-87-adams-revive-fine-hand-polish.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug123 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yeah, it's built for hand polishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 i also have some that is for the pc it is a light cream color. The video even said you could mix it with swirl and haze. It was a while ago, at least 2 years ago. the blue stuff I have but that is for hand, not machine. Just wandering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 It is really for hand use but it's perfectly safe to use with a PC. But really, if you use SHR followed by FMC, there's no need/point for Revive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds and Ends Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 There is a thread about this: http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10763&highlight=revive I don't know if there ever was a Revive "made" for the PC, but keep in mind that according to the label, the current Blue Revive is a "non abrasive paint cleaner". Fine Machine Polish, although very mild, does contain some abrasive particles for light polishing capabilities. So, 1. It's perfectly fine to use Revive with your PC...it's just not going to do any correction. White pad would be fine, but even Black should be OK. 2. It's also accurate to say that when using SHR followed by FMP, there is really no need for Revive, but it won't do any harm. Probably just waste a little of your time and dirty up another couple of towels. I think I recommended in the other post to try it and see if you notice a difference. It may depend on your particular color of car. No matter what you do, Revive would be the last step just before a sealer (MSW) or a wax (Buttery/Americana), and since many folks have never heard of a paint cleanser, I always tell them to think of a paint cleanser as a "wax prep" product - AFTER polish, but BEFORE wax. - Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I'm a big fan of Revive, I always use it after polishing. It gives you a nice clean finish prior to waxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crewxp Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hrm. Revive a waste after fmp? Anyone else agree with this? Im all for saving time. I put it in my lineup as I don't have msw. I use it between my fmp and bg. Top it all off with buttery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Adam has said in the past that FMP was created mixing Revive with SHR. It's been reformulated since then, but I believe initially it was that way. Sent from my iPad using special algorithms and data nodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I've used it on the Edge's mirrors.. (so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds and Ends Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Perhaps I should clarify a bit...I didn't actually mean a waste of your time by doing Revive in addition to SHR and FMP as in it's unnecessary or won't help. Read the whole post and then check out my post #14 in the linked thread about Revive and the PC. My recommendation is to try it and based on your color car and determine if you can see a difference. If everyone is going to take me literally for every word I type, then of course you should use Revive EVERY TIME as a final step before you wax. That's it's intended purpose and there should always be a paint cleansing step in your "lineup". Sorry for any confusion. I'm a big fan of Revive too! - Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I need to clarify too, I completely skipped over the "PC application" part of this. I always use Revive by hand, after my final polish and prior to waxing. I think, and this is just my opinion, it gives me an extremely clean surface for applying wax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
