Sorry I don't have many noticeable before and afters as my paint was pretty flawless in most areas.. I used all 4 steps and my porter cable 7424xp with the Adam's Pads.


Just ordered their stuff last week as I have been looking to start using more of my porter cable. I have been a die hard zaino user by hand for quite some time. I can honestly say I think i will be sticking with Adams and my porter cable..

Here are some before and afters

I'm going to guess Fine Machine Polish, topped with Super Sealant.

I actually use severe swirl,Swirl & Haze, machine, then sealant.. Worked great for those fine swirls.

Looks like a tiny bit of micro marring on the sail panel, but other than that, a fantastic job! A softer pad and polish will likely clean it up a bit.

Good work!

What do you recommend, gofast? pad and polish? and thanks i thought it turned out pretty nice..

Yes it definitely turned out nice. That micromarring doesn't look that bad so some Menzerna PO85RD on a black LC pad will do wonders on it. I don't know of a polish that brings the depth and gloss out of black better than that does. Used correctly, it will change your entire perspective on the gloss capable with black paint.

I'll take you up on that sometime. My sail panel and hood are pretty bad, although the entire car does need it. I was going to get the kit that had the PC when I originally bought my Adams stuff, but I was kinda skeptical I wouldn't care for the products and if be out a chunk of change, but their products are great.

Know when your interior stuff is coming in?

SOMSS1LE

Thanks I will check it out for sure

Matt@adams

what's the cause of micro marring and how can you avoid it?

nice job op, i just bought the 4 step kit so hopefully it'll turn out great!

GoFast908Z

It can be caused by too much pressure when polishing, too abrasive of a pad, or too abrasive of a polish, or any combination of the above.

You just need a softer pad/polish combo, or it might just be to use less pressure.

SOMSS1LE

I'm going to try something later with the polish and see if using less pressure helps.

Ill post a pic and see if you notice a difference..
