    Default Sorry, but I have to show it off: Adams results

    This is what Adams polishes can do. This is a touch-up with Fine Machine Polish using the Gen4 pads and the Flex polisher. Full process was wash with car wash soap + all-purpose cleaner to strip any wax, followed by a clay. Then a polish with the polisher, followed by a seal coat of Machine Super Sealant. Side markers, front vents, and front grilles are off the car for ease of working. They'll be put back on tomorrow after I glaze and wax the car. Then I'll follow-up with more pics! This is all to get the car ready for GONE next weekend.

    Camera didn't want to focus sometimes. It wanted to focus on the reflections in the paint.

    Hey, Chris, if you read this, post up some pics of your results after your work on your car!

    Without further ado...

    I'll be driving it, and I'll be taking my Adams implements with me to wash it there so it'll look nice for the car show. I'll also be careful of the route. Last time, Google Navigation took me through a two-lane highway in Ohio that was under construction. The construction crews had run the asphalt eater over it, but hadn't yet repaved it, and it was like that for a good 30 miles in stop and go traffic. It was... unpleasant, to say the least. I'll be sticking to the major freeways, even if it does make for a monotonous drive.

    Since tapatalk keeps crashing when I try to edit my post, I'll add another one...

    My cars paint isn't going to be nearly as nice as yours. It'll look OK though.
