afloyd67 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Been using Adam's for almost a year now after I got hooked with my first mystery box. H20 guard is definitely my favorite so far. Never knew how bad I used to wash cars before binged watched Adam's videos. Mostly just detail my personal cars and some friends here and there. Lately I've been considering getting a polisher like the swirl killer but not sure where to begin since I have only hand polished before. Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

ZMAN024 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Welcome Austin. You might want to consider taking advantage of the sale going on right now and get the Swirl Killer Combo. At $360 it would come in at $290 with 20% off. That's a great deal. Dan@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcaineer Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Welcome, Austin. Great to have you along for the shine! Agreed with above. If you're in the market for a polisher, now's the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toua Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Welcome once you go to polisher youll be kicking yourself for not getting one sooner???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afloyd67 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Thanks for all the welcome guys. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and order a SK 15 since this is one of their best sales of the year, but trying to decide on what to go with it. I see they offer two kits (the complete polishing kit and the polisher bag kit) for $480 but not sure which would be the better buy for me.

LSX Maestro Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Thanks for all the welcome guys. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and order a SK 15 since this is one of their best sales of the year, but trying to decide on what to go with it. I see they offer two kits (the complete polishing kit and the polisher bag kit) for $480 but not sure which would be the better buy for me. I'd go for the bag kit myself. The Liquid Paint Sealant and Gray pad is exactly what you'll want after you give it a clay and killer paint correction. The Sealant will protect your work from elements, road gunk, sheet water, etc. The Gray pad is what you use with the LPS (Liquid paint sealant). If you don't have a few Adam's microfibers and go with the Bag-Kit, you may want to add a few double or triple soft towels to it to help remove product when you're done polishing. The Bag kit only has 2 Single Softs, whereas the Non-Bag Kit has a few Singles and a few Doubles. Last thing you want to do is replace swirling/fine scratches with old/low quality microfibers. Welcome, btw. Edited October 6, 2017 by LSX Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan@Adams Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hey Austin, thanks for signing up for the forum! The Bag Kit is a pretty sweet deal for sure, but I would recommend adding on an extra 5.5" Microfiber Cutting Pad and 5.5" Orange Foam pad at a minimum, since I like to have at least two pads for correction-work. If you're trying to polish out the whole vehicle in one day, your first pad will eventually get too much polish residue built up in it to continue being effective until you would wash and clean it out, and then let it air-dry for a day or two. So if you don't want any downtime when polishing, it would be good to have the spares. If you have any questions at all, feel free to give us a call at 866-965-0400 and we'll be happy to assist!

Nightgn Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I would love to see a polish kit with both size swirl killers, pads for each size, and polish. At least, I don't see one unless you get the $1200 kit with all the chemicals too. Welcome Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afloyd67 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Well it's on the way, now the worst part is waiting. Appreciate the help from everyone. Any more tips or tricks on detailing with the swirl killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any more tips or tricks on detailing with the swirl killer. I'd advise opening a thread in the polishing/paint correcting section for better recognition.
