Z51L9889 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Hi! I'm new to the forum and Adam's polishes. I took the plunge today and ordered a bunch of Adam's products, including the detail kit with a PC buffer, clay, wash kit, and MF towels/applicators. I was at one time a detail fanatic, but I had fallen off the detailing wagon, so to speak, for the last several years. I was thinking that I needed to get some wax on the wife's car and the G8 when I realized that we have owned her vehicle a little over 3 years and I've never waxed it! I started going through my products in the garage to see if I needed to get any supplies and I quickly found that all my products were several years old at a minimum and all my buffer bonnets were trash. I then tried to find foam bonnets to fit my old B&D 9" buffer only to find that no one seems to carry them any more. I had always used Meguair's products and gotten good results, but after reading on several forums I frequend about the results people are getting with Adam's products I decided to give them a try. I watched several of the detailing videos and realized that my technique of the last 20 years could definitely stand some improvement. I decided at that point to get rid of all my old stuff and also upgrade to a PC buffer. I had always gotten good shine and smoothness, but I always seemed to struggle with swirl marks. I'm excited to give the new buffer a try with the Adam's products and a revised technique. Edited April 20, 2009 by Z51L9889 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Welcome Todd! I'm sure you'll find that what you were using pales in comparrison to Adam's. Some really good stuff! Glad to have you along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z51L9889 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks! I'm really curious to see what Adam's does on our cars. The Pacifica and G8 have really high levels of metalflake so I bet they will look incredible. I'm working on a new engine for the Corvette so hopefully it will see the sun later this summer for the first time in nearly 4 years. It definitely will need the full finish treatment after sitting for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z51L9889 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Here are a couple of pictures. 1989 Corvette -- Taken about 2 years ago on the day I pulled the motor. It has 51,000 miles, and I'm the original owner. I'm almost finished building a 500 HP 383 for it. Hopefully it will be back on the road this summer. Right now it's covered with a 6 mil sheet of plastic and has a bunch of cardboard boxes stacked on the hood. 2009 Pontiac G8 GT -- Took delivery 2/27/09. It looks pretty good in the picture, but the dealer prep was horrible. It has holograms and small scratches all over it and it desperately needs to be clayed. I don't have any pictures of the Pacifica, but you can see its partial reflection in the above picture. I'll get before and after pics when I start detailing.
