Chewy Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I just took delivery of my new car yesterday so I will be starting from scratch with Adam's car care. I used a bit of the Buttery wax and polishing cloths last night after debadging it and really liked the results. Thanks for a great forum!

Mark05KR Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 A brand new vehicle deserves a good clay bar treatment to get rid of all the rail dust and other contaminents on the paint. That was the first thing I did to my truck and to the Wife's car the weekend after we brought them home. I was amazed at how much junk was on the paint on a new vehicle. The clay bar took it all off.

JGibson Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 X2 on the clay bar + detail spray. Awesome product... I agree! Everyone thinks that a new car will be really clean, but we all know that it still requires a little TLC & Adams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill-V8V Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 This is what clay took off of the hood of my new truck this weekend !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 That has to be a record..... the only other time I've seen dirtier clay bar is when I was removing rubber from my mufflers after a recent drag racing day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 And I had already washed it twice !!!! But it was worth the extra effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) A brand new vehicle deserves a good clay bar treatment to get rid of all the rail dust and other contaminents on the paint. That was the first thing I did to my truck and to the Wife's car the weekend after we brought them home. I was amazed at how much junk was on the paint on a new vehicle. The clay bar took it all off. Done! Been a bit since I was on here but I took the car from the dealer AS IS with no clean up. All they did was pull off the plastic protectors and the wood blocks from the springs. I had to do the complete detail from head to toe. Basically it went like this... Wash car top to bottom twice, get out 3M adhesive remover (DAMN that stuff rocks!) and remove all the adhesive left over from the plastic they removed plus the GM chick-lets on the front fenders. Then I clayed the entire car top to bottom, then went around removing any blemishes I found like bird poop (burns) as I call them which is basically a small etch spot in the paint. Then I went around with my Adam's buttery wax and finished her off. Wheels and all! Now it's been about 4 weeks and it's been washed and waxed 3 times and detailed several times. The car is black and is looking pretty damn good. We'll see how the next few years work out for her. I don't have any great pics of her yet. It's crappy and cold out! Cheers all! Chris In the garage cleaning her up! I had to use medium glass polish on the windows to get ALL the crap off of them! I really need a DA!

Chewy Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Well my parents were kind enough to get me the Porter Cable DA starter kit ya'll sell. Looks great but since it's only 8º outside it will probably be a while before I use it. Looks great though. What other pads would you professionals recommend from what I got in the kit?

Nitelord Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 The kit should suffice for quite sometime. Clean the pads every time you're done with them. Dry them and store them in the bags they came in. BTW: Great looking ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 O.T.A. Old thread alert... This is my VERY FIRST post... Hard to believe that's over 4 years ago!!! The car isn't anywhere near that clean right now, but it'll be my garage queen soon and it'll be beautiful all the time. I found this thread by hitting "show all subscribed threads" which I didn't know I had any I subscribed to, since I don't subscribe to threads commonly. It's neat to see what I started with from Adams and how far I've come. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Welcome Chris! I don't think I ever made a New Member thread.. This forum was pretty new when I registered. I guess I was right... I've been here for a while. I got in on the ground floor so to speak. What's funny is what looks like Dylans comments, were actually Jason's. Dylan filled his shoes when he left. I wonder what happened to Jason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
