0 tony97gt Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I suggest going on the Adams polishes website and looking at the volume 8 videos. It's a process that can make everything right, but it all depends on how far you want to take it and how good you want it to look in the end. The ultimate plan for best looks is strip washing, clay bar, 3 step polish, sealant, glaze, and wax. Car will look better now than it ever will.

0 DenaliDan Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 General rule of thumb: Use the least abrasive product first and if that doesn't meet your needs, go to the next abrasive. Example: 1st.) Fine machine polish. Not enough? 2.) Swirl & Haze Remover. Still not good? (Terrible care by the dealer prep squad) 3.) Severe Swirl Remover.

0 brianb Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 i am so confused right now is there a machine polishing kit you can recomend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 THE Mook Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 i am so confused right now is there a machine polishing kit you can recomend I recommend the Brilliance Flex Kit to anyone looking to get a machine, all the juices, and our "Facemelter"...the BG/APW combo. Easy to learn and use, and MUCH quicker than the PC7424XP. Mook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 GaryW Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) i am so confused right now is there a machine polishing kit you can recomend Adam's Basic Flex XC 3401 VRG Polisher Kit Adam's Basic Porter Cable 7424 XP Polisher Kit Either one of these will do.. Watch the videos and practice makes perfect. Edited February 7, 2013 by GaryW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DenaliDan Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Watching the videos and getting some hands-on experience with the products will clear up any confusion quickly. And a LOT of reading here on the forum doesn't hurt either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ihaveacamaro Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 fort lauderdale Oh nvm, I have offered people who are new to this and close to me to come over and I can help show them what I know (I'm not an expert, but I'm decent), but Ft.

0 Ron Meadows Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 You definitely made the right choice going with the flex. In my experience the PC7424XP and Adams abrasives will take a long, long time to remove anything deeper than minor swirls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GaryW Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I am telling you, we need to get the Florida Crew together somewhere and put on a big show. I am working with some local car clubs here in The Villages to see if they would be up for it. Just would have to get some Adams Holics to put it on. Soon as I can get some info will get back. :patriot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
