G8V8 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) After doing my first PC series of HSR, FMP and MSW I put one coat of BW and glaze on it last night. I took some photos this morning. I hope you like them. Edited July 19, 2009 by G8V8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Looks great !!!! On another note You might want to try taking those pictures without the direct sunlight on the car, it will really help to show off the lines of the car :2thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G8V8 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) I learned a lot. One of the main things is YOU NEED A LOT OF ADAM'S MF TOWELS. Clean, clean, clean when it comes to towels. I'm sure that is the reason I had some streaking issues with the DS. I also learned that I need to spend more PC time on the vertical panels. after waxing and glazing and taking photos i can see I did a much better job on the horizontal surfaces. My plan has been to go back, one panel at a time and remove more swilrles and scratches. I'm going to concentrate on the sides. It is sooooooo much better now than before but now I can image how good it could be and it bugs me that it isn't. "Hello, my name is Ed and I'm an Adamholic......" Here are a few more photos; Edited July 8, 2009 by G8V8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) You know you can work from one process to another without the need to remove the product right? I usually have at least 3 towels there but I do a panel at a time when time permits. Looks good! Try to wait 12-24 hours for the MSW oils to release and then take some DS and polish it up a bit more with your MF towels and then do the BSG. AMAZING! I cleaned up the last one a bit for you...

Team Adam's Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Stunning is the first word that comes to mind... in some of those pics the flake just seems to be jumping out of the paint. Excellent results for someone just getting started out... I shudder to think of how good you're going to get with more practice!! I might have to keep an eye on my "advisor" title here on the board, with results like these my job ain't safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G8V8 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) This morning I DS ed it then put a second coat of BW followed by another application a glaze. I also used the VRT for all the trim, tires and underhood pieces. It came out great. I finished up with the undercarrage spay on the fenderwells and loved how it looked. I took a few more photos to show the reflections. It looks fantastic. I went to a car show this afternoon and got a lot of very nice complements ohn how it looks. people were amazed it is 14 months old and a daily driver with 20K+ miles on it. There are still some swirls to address as the light photo shows but it is sooooo much better than before i started. Some swirls still show. The metal flakes in the paint really sparkle! My stash of Adams goodies reflected in my hood. Edited July 19, 2009 by G8V8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
