Team Adam's Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I did a full paint correction on a friend's '08 Milan over the weekend. As evidenced by the "before" pics, the paint was in BAD shape. This was my first full correction using the FLEX and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to get one. It's one AMAZING machine! I think the car turned out very well, I just wish I could have finished it sooner so I could have gotten better pictures when it was still light out. Here's the rundown of the process and products I used: Everything was from Adam's Polishes, of course. FLEX 3401 DA Polisher Car Wash Shampoo Professional Car Wash Pad Wash Bucket w/ grit guard Great White Drying Towel Detailing Clay Bar Details Spray All-Purpose Cleaner Invisible Undercarriage Spray Swirl and Haze Remover w/ Orange FLEX Pad (2 passes on hood, roof, and deck lid) Fine Machine Polish w/ White FLEX Pad Brilliant Glaze w/ Gray FLEX pad Americana Paste Wax Leather and Interior Cleaner Leather and Interior Conditioner Glass Cleaner In & Out Spray VRT Dressing On with the pictures: Before: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 NICK! Dude nice work! That thing was beat down pretty hard. I can't believe you waited this long for the Flex either! Now you see why I wouldn't shut up about it when we were hanging in Auburn. The results combined with the time it takes are killer. Nice write up too!

Nice write up too! Mook Thanks man. There's definitely a learning curve with it technique-wise, but a little more time with it and I'll really be able to fly!

Golf for Life Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Nice, work Nick did your friend have it washed at a car wash that uses Brillo pads? Sorry couldn't help myself. Hope that you convince your friend to keep the car looking as good as you have it looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's only had it for less that I year I believe, and I told her as soon as she bought it to never take it to a car wash with brushes. I think most of the damage was done well before she even got the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
