The new grandson wanted to sleep Saturday afternoon so I snuck out and went home for a bit. Rewashed the car and examined very closely for scratched and swirls and with the exception of half a dozen paint chips everything looked pretty good. I did the baggie test and thought I was testing on 1000 grit sandpaper. I clayed the car and decided to start with Fine Machine Polish on my test area. Things were looking pretty good so I moved onto the Sealant on the test area and again things were looking pretty good when I finished. I finished up the car with FMP and Sealant.
Started this morning in the garage with coffee in one had and a PC in the other putting on Brilliant Glaze. Once I finished the glaze, removed all the tape and put on some VRT on the trim, tires and the vinyl in the interior. Then I cleaned the glass and put on glass sealer. I then broke out the Americana and put on a light coat of wax.
From my first experience I learned a few things.
- One thing I did was label all of the bottles with the step number: green #1, orange #2, etc.
- I used around a third of a bottle on the car, will be making an order for a gallon shortly.
- You can never have enough microfiber towels: two single soft isn't going to cut it. adding half a dozen to the detail spray order.
- In a couple of months, I'll try a test spot with Swirl and Haze Remover as this car has some serious orange peel on the hood. Rest of the car is pretty good for factory paint: I think the paint robot must have had a few too many the night before.
- The VRT has a really fragrant bouquet aroma: everyone kept saying "wow, your car smells really nice."
- Note to Marketing: Adam's t-shirts in kids sizes. I would have bought a couple and could have sold a half dozen yesterday...
Overall, I'm very pleased with the results for being my first Machine Polish using Adam's products.

As someone said, the light doesn't lie...
