Z71_Denali Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 just a thought.... but what if there was a blue finishing pad for Revive Polish?!? reasons why i think this could work: IIRC, Revive is a "cleaner" polish and will remove any polishing oils from previous steps better alternative for people hesitant to use IPA before laying down sealant/glaze/wax machine polishing much faster than hand polishing and is easier on the joints ...just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JBlack151 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I've asked the same question in regards to having a pad for the Revive. But you can just use the grey pad and sometimes the white pad. http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/machine-polishing/18346.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ArmyAcadia09 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) ^ didn't know that. Good to know though Edited July 9, 2012 by ArmyAcadia09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Z71_Denali Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) right, but i think adding a blue pad specific to Revive polish gets rid of the confusion if people want to use it on the machine and don't know what pad they currently own is the right one to use, hence the color coding. and it opens up the market for people to use Revive more than IPA as a pre-wax cleaner, since Adam's doesn't exactly sell its own formula of IPA...... OoOoOoOo another great idea on a Monday morning... Adam's IPA Edited July 9, 2012 by 2010TexasEdition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JBlack151 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Just so the answer is on this thread as well for those who don't want to jump to the other thread...... If you need some cut with it, use the white pad. If you're not looking for any cut, but want to gloss the paint up, use the gray pad. The product itself isn't going to do much, but the foams can.

0 Team Adam's Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Because Revive is actually a hand use product, adding a machine pad to the mix probably creates more confusion than it solves. File the revive via machine technique under "things you learned that weren't on the DVD" Plus it can be somewhat dual use Gray pad just for cleaning up the paint White pad for actually doing some very minor correction A blue pad isn't going to be able to solve both of those uses.

0 Tim Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 And blue pads are for metal polishes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mjhpadi Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 That being said Revive is still a great product and my choice for use after using the clay bar. It really helps clean and prep the paint for the future steps. I have not thought of applying it by machine since is easy to apply and remove by hand. But it is a great product and really makes the finish look great for the sealant, glaze and wax steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Green Machine Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Revive is my second favorite Adams product after a tie between SVRT and undercarriage spray. A definate player in my arsenal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
