Try'd out my PC today for the first time

[RyanMitch]

Well today i had a little bit of free time so i washed my truck and tested out my PC on the tailgate of my Colorado. I am amazed after clay baring a 2ftx2ft area how much junk came off and how smooth the paint was. Then i polished my tailgate and wow I am sold on Adams products cant wait to do the whole truck!!! Sorry the pics aren't the best they were taken with my Iphone

Great job.

No problem with the upside down pic. I just turned my iPhone upside down! LOL!

I am waiting to do the same on my wife's car...can't wait to get some results!

The clay will be the most nasty on the rear, the front, and the horizontal surfaces, at least that is what I see. Also the first claying really takes off a lot of crud.

 

Yes, 2x2' is optimum, and don't load up with too much polish, or the correction SLOWS DOWN. (yes, that's right - that's how I started, too much polish). Just 3 pea sized drops is plenty, both the pad and the polish do part of the work. If the pad gets clogged up with polish, it takes longer to get the results.

Correct me if Im wrong but I usually start in sections ..The hood (half) than go to the next half ..than roof ..onto the front fender.. than the door.. if its 4 doors onto the next door ..rear quarter. so on and so on. Always try and do the top of the car first. This way when I do the sides ..fenders etc Im not leaning on them later when I do the hood/roof etc. This is how I was taught back in the 80s when I worked for a car dealership. Always keep it in sections top down just like washing.

Thats what they say, anything but a 2x2 spot, your working to much at one time!

[RyanMitch]

I used the PC with swirl and haze, fine machine, and machine super sealent. Also clay bared it with Adams and washed and foamed with Adams car wash. The only thing I was having problems with was it seemed like it was taking for ever to do a spot, I broke it down into a few sections and the first one went fast then the others took longer till I realized I wasn't using enough polish, after that I knocked it out. Thanks everyone!!

Great job! I hope my first time goes that well. Any notable things on your first time?

 

Same question, how did it go? What equipment and products did you use ?

[Mongosg8]

Nice job Ryan ..as time goes on and you get more practice the results are even better.

[3PedalMINI]

Nice job man! Satisfying isn't it?

 

Btw your first pic is upside down

[Chris@Adams]

Nice job!

[PacificNWBuckeye]

That looks great! Did you paint your wheels? I've not seen that style in black before.

[BlueGenCoupe]

Amazing job Ryan.

[mc2hill]

Nice work!

 

It is hard to make yourself work that small area when you have a new toy to play with, but as you found out you learn the proper technique. Good luck on the reset of the truck.

[RyanMitch]

Thanks Man! The only problem I had was i actually was not using enough polish so it was taking me longer to get a result. After i realized what i was doing wrong it went alot faster

Fantastic job Ryan. Yeah, that's pretty standard on a clear that hasn't been clayed before.
