I got my Adam's kit last week and am dying to use it. I've never machine polished before, so I'm a bit nervous, but after reading their forums for weeks and weeks now, I feel pretty good about it. I'm going to take good before/after pics of my wife's beaten and neglected dark blue 2002 Trailblazer when I get some time to work it, and of course I'll share them here

Adam's did ship my online order very quickly and it was packaged very well!

Get the Americana Wax!!!!!! Three coats of that over the machine wax makes the car look wet, and like looking in a mirror. I don't have any pics either of my cars after getting it. Both of the cars I posted pics of were done before the Americana came out, the SS was hand done with buttery wax and revive polish, the Z06 had the porter cable used on it.

No worries man, if you're using the Porter Cable, only damage you can really do is by dropping the damn thing on the car.

Car looks great OP, definitely don't see any post-processing going on there. If at all, very little. I've used Zaino for the last couple years and I'll definitely agree the results look very similar. Gotta give Adams a try sometime soon!

Awsome kit....worth every penny, imo.

If you've ever wanted to machine polish your car but were afraid to this is a great kit. With the color co-ordinated pads & polish it takes all the guess work out of it. You will not F up your paint with this kit. The PC just wont let it happen.

FYI...I signed up on the Adams website and they sent me an instant 10% off (via email)for signing up and used it to purchase the kit. I added the 4" kit. It really helps with the front end getting in all the tight spots.

Kit..


Results...



4" kit

How would this look on a car that hasnt been painted in over 15 years or so? The paint job is fading in places and has swirls..I plan on getting it repainted later but need $$$
