I bit the bullet today, ordered a boat load of Adams goodies, and I still feel like I need more.

Porter Cable 7424xp with 3 stage polish kit (severe swirl remover, swirl and haze remover, fine machine polish with pads)

36oz deep wheel cleaner

36 oz All purpose cleaner with Tire brush

Single bucket, grit guard, wash mitt and 16 oz shampoo

Perfect interior kit (16oz carpet and upholstery cleaner, carpet brush, 16oz leather and interior cleaner, leather and interior brush, 16 oz leather conditioner, 2 dressing applicators, 16 oz glass cleaner, 2 glass cleaner MF towels, 2 edgeless detailing MF towels)

and an extra grit guard for the wash bucket I already have.

All thats missing is...more MF towels, brilliant glaze, americana, machine sealant..and many others...

Should be able to get a nice shine with all of this!

The good lads in Canada passed on the TID15F promo even though it isn't active on their website. These guys are awesome to deal with on the web, and even better on the phone!

Remember, your shine comes from the polish NOT the wax. Neighbors have come up to me and said "man what kind of wax do you use" and I look at them and say, "it's not even waxed". They catch me during my correction process. The correction process will take you HOURS. 15-20 probably. If you don't have them, get the Adam Focus pad kit. IMO, a complete correction isn't possible without it.

Buying in gallons is HIGHLY recommended and you'll soon find out why. Also, you can NEVER have too many MF towels.

I look forward to getting my G8 back up to summer spec. I'm waiting for my new DD to come in so I can do it, and NOT drive it every day. I've got some Adams Patriot wax waiting...

Good luck and good choice on products! Make sure you subscribe to the Adams forum for more help if you're not already. It's down right now, because they're going with a WHOLE new website software. It should be up later today early tomorrow 04/23/13.

I used these exact same products and my paint is perfect after 70000 miles. This stuff works awesome

Signed up about a week ago..made an intro thread and everything. ;)

I admit I am knew to it, ordered thr svrt dressing and clay bar a month ago. They sent a free dvd..which I watched and immediate put the claying on hold until I got myself a polisher and some good polish. Its pricey and put a deep slash on my mod budget, but one of the biggest thrills I get is in thr detailing.

I read Adams story and many posts on the forum. Everything about their company structure and customer relations gives me a boner which is how they earned my business. I love how Adam is still very involved in the company and even heads most of thr instructional videos. Speaking of which....I just hit play on episode 22 and 23...prep and clay and also pc machine polishing.
