0 Rich Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Revive is pretty much a hand polish. There's a new blend coming out soon. If you're doing it by machine, Go with the One Step. I used Revive for years on my black 02 Vette with great results. Did that help you at all? bosco1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have an unopened Revive but the One Step with the wool pad just seems to make Revive obsolete unless I'm missing something. Seems like I remember someone saying they like using it on the tail-lights.

It would have been a good candidate in the past but thinking I'll machine the One-Step instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I use Revive for touch ups and to remove bird bombs. It’s a great go to product. bosco1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new version has been out for a few months now and the name was changed to just "Hand Polish" 🙂 https://adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-revive-fine-hand-car-polish Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not replace Claying would it??? The Hand Polish can be used to bring out more gloss and depth to the surface. As for a pre-cleaner, what he meant is that it can be used to essentially polish away any types of Detail Spray or waxes on the surface to then re-apply a new layer of protection. The Hand Polish isn't a replacement for claying the surface, but it could be used in between claying if you want to take off a few layers of wax or even possibly cut through Paint Sealant without having to put a machine polisher to the surface. A clay bar or a clay mitt will still be more effective at removing bonded contamination more quickly and safely than polishing the area multiple times by hand to try to get the same result (and possibly grinding in the contamination with the foam hex grip applicator). I hope that clears things up 👍 Black Bowtie and bosco1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one that uses it on all the vehicles for the tail lights and marker lights. I also use it on decals when I'm concerned about the machine doing damage and then there are all the small places where a machines just doesn't seem to fit. That includes when I do golf carts, motorcycle gas tanks and side covers, signs I have also done entire vehicles, a couple of times by choice and a couple of times because the equipment I had before I bought a Swirl Killer most likely would have done more damage than good. bosco1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
