ss95003 Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I want to use both do you put the S&H on and not remove it before you put the Revive on?
0 Bill-V8V Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I like to take the SHR off first but others say there is no reason to :thumbsup: I just like to know what kind of results are there before I do another step
0 Chewy Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 You can go over the S&H with Revive or the Machine Polish.
0 ss95003 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 I was reading the corvette forms and from my reading some people are saying that there is no way you can get swirl marks out of a corvette by hand since the clear coat is so hard. Is this true? I have a 2005 Lemans Blue vette with swirl marks that are driving me nuts.
0 Bill-V8V Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 It is really really hard by hand on a corvette, but much much easier with a PC :2thumbs:
0 ss95003 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 Can you define hard? Do i just have to rub harder and longer? Any other tips. I am to cheap to buy the pc.
0 Bill-V8V Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Can you define hard? Do i just have to rub harder and longer? Any other tips. I am to cheap to buy the pc. PM Rich, he still takes care of his black vette by hand, he'd be able to give you better advice than me. I'm too lazy, I use a Flex :hi::hi:
0 Chewy Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Stop being cheap! You WON'T regret the purchase. I can't believe I waited as long as I did!
0 Rich Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Steve, Sent you a p.m. You definitely don't need a pc.
0 ridebmxfbm Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Can you pm me on how to do it as well, as I do it by hand on Mustang too... Thanks
0 Rich Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 No need to pm everybody. What I do is get an Adam's applicator pad and moisten it with a bit of detail spray. Then I put some S&H on one end of the pad and Revive next to it on the pad and wipe it on. You can use a little bit less S&H than Revive. Let it dry to a haze and remove with a clean microfiber cloth. That's all I do. Check out this video from Adam. He goes through it step by step. http://www.adamspolishes.com/t-Videos_DVD5_18.aspx
0 ridebmxfbm Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Do you have to apply the Revive polish the same way as S & H you have to work it in by rubbing it alot in circles?? Thanks
0 Team Adam's Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Corvette paint isn't necessarily any harder than any other GM paint I've worked on (relatively speaking) age and environment play just a big a part IMHO. I've detailed vettes w/ 3 year old paint that have been a breeze to correct but they've spent their lives in mild weather. In contrast I did a vette that was just over a year old but spent a lot of time out in Scottsdale AZ getting baked. That paint was hard as granite and took nothing short of an angle grinder to correct.
0 ridebmxfbm Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Anyone how would I apply it I did it in long straight lines in each direction and didn't rub it or work it in... is that fine?? Thanks
0 Rich Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Yup. But I do them together in one step. See post #12
0 Team Adam's Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Newer paint is softer than older paint. Certain brands (newer BMW and Porsche in particular) paint is softer than other brands. Paint thats had prolonged exposure to heat and sun is harder than paint that hasn't. This is all in my personal opinion/first hand experience, no science to it, just hands on impressions.
0 Superdutytd Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I guess I'll have to leave my car out in the sun this summer! LOL NOT
0 SVT01LIGHTNING Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 how much of the S&H and revive do you put on the applicator pad?
0 SVT01LIGHTNING Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 ok....ill be buying both of those this week im ready to try out the way you said you use it on your vette' by hand....i hope i get close to the same results you get!
0 Goatman06 Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 No need to pm everybody. What I do is get an Adam's applicator pad and moisten it with a bit of detail spray.

0 Chris@Adams Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 I remove the SHR to see if the problem was corrected, but you don't have to you can go right over it with Revive or FMP.
Question
ss95003
I want to use both do you put the S&H on and not remove it before you put the Revive on?
