Ok so this Friday my Adams package arrives with Revive hand polish, Brilliant Glaze, Buttery Wax, Quick Sealant, Detail Spray, In & Out Spray & Super VRT,. I still have Adams Clay left from my last purchase. What order do I take to get the best look? Is it Clay, then Polish, Then Wax, Then Glaze & Top off with the Sealant? Any help will be greatly appreciated....can't wait for my Friday package and Saturday cleaning....:banana:

Does it not also take off the polish you just applied?

 

Polish doesn't stay on your car like a sealant/glaze/wax does. You break down the polish then wipe off the residue, so there isn't anything for the IPA to "take off."

 

You can go through an entire bottle of IPA on your car and it won't be any "less polished."

 

However, if you use it after anything else has been applied, it will indeed strip it off and you'll be back down to bare naked paint.

 

:thumbsup:

isopropyl alcohol

 

Glad you cleared that up as I think of IPA as India Pale Ale and thought I would drink more then I would spray on the car...LOL I will try this step as this is the first I have heard of it.... Does it not also take off the polish you just applied?

So you mix the IPA with water & spray it on the car then dry it off? Is that correct?

 

Just buy the stuff from your local store...it's already pre-mixed at 70/30 which is fine to use on your car. Put it in an empty sprayer, lightly mist panel and wipe off, flip towel and buff any hazing. I use a single soft.

Agreed, I never used to but now i just do if I finished a car earlier than I thought I would. :2thumbs:

 

Yeah, it only takes about 15 mins for the entire vehicle, and product cost is about $3 for half a gallon. No brainer if you ask me to ensure you have clean surface for the sealant to bond to.
