New Gen2 Pad System Video is Here!


Question

Posted

This is a quick video we recently filmed to show how to accomplish perfection with the 2nd Generation Pads and Polishes system.

 

This was not nearly the production that we filmed with the Ferrari, in a million dollar garage. Rather, this is a video we filmed on the side of our warehouse in late November when I drove to CA to deliver Christmas presents to the family.

 

I'm working on my Excursion, which hadn't been detailed in nearly a year. The paint had tremendous swirls and cobweb scratches from neglect, unfortunately!

 

This video is does not show before and after results, rather, it simply explains the PC system very thoroughly. It's nearly 15 minutes long, sorry!

 

Here goes:

I don't remember my pads having that honeycomb pattern on them. Would that make a difference in the results achieved or amount of effort needed?

Hi Gerry, our pads will soon all have that pattern, as it makes the pad travel a little easier across the finish.

 

No difference in results however!:thumbsup:

Adam,

Great products and great videos. My problem is the 10 inches of snow outside my garage and the 9 degree tempature with -6 wind chill. I think I will wait to do any detailing. The "red 'vette" is hiding out in the garage until spring.

Oh, by the way,

GO STEELERS

Welcome Dean! Thanks, and trust me, I understand what cold is, living here in the Rockies. My Vette won't be getting any road time until later as well.

 

For now, watch out for a new winter washing video coming very soon!:thumbsup:

Great vid, Adam. Watching it makes me realized that I haven't been putting enough pressure on the PC... and that of course explains why the fine scratches on my Vette have continued to vex me.

 

So... I'm psyched for my next good Saturday AM detailing!

I guess I need to increase the pressure and increase the OPM's. I have been setting the PC on about 4000 opm for the SHR.

Well I'm glad I saw that video because I think I figured out why my car didn't come out the way I would've liked when I detailed it. Also, I'm so happy I didn't have the patience to wait a few weeks and buy the new honeycomb pads! :explode:

First post here... Like some of the others I think that I may have figured out why my first attempts were not perfect. Bought my PC kit about two weeks ago and did my daily driver (pickup) to learn. It looks 100% better than it did, but there are still some swirl marks. Looks like I need to go back and apply more pressure and speed up the PC. Thanks for the video.

I've heard before that you shouldn't mix different polishes on the same pad. Is there any reasoning behind that? I only ask because I noticed Adam did it and I'm sure he wouldn't do anything that would cause harm. I would just like to know before I start doing it myself. So far I've only used the orange pad with SHR and the white pad with FMP. I know this is sorta an odd question.

Adam,

 

I just got my 2000 Torch Red Vette back from the body shop so the paint is less than a month old. It looks fantastic but as always, we all want more! It wasn't an all over paint job but was blended on the majority of the panels. They buffed the entire car and did a great job and I want to complete it with some Adam's products. I know I shouldn't put wax on for a few months but I want to polish it. Looking at the video on page 1, is it OK to put pressure on new paint?
