Default Just got my first Adam's detailing kit

Just got my very first Adams porter cable detailing kit in today. My looking forward to taking my detailing to the next level, but it will have to wait till next week. I leave on vacation in an hour. However I did already take the time to wash my Avalanche and wipe it down with the super VRT dressing I love the low gloss it gives to the trim, tires, and bed cover. The big project will be my wifes Tahoe that I just traded my Z71 for its covered in swirl marks so we will see if this rookie can get them out without trashing the paint. Anyway just wanted to share Ill post some pics after I get back in town and get some work done.

Yes sir I already watched the video that came with the setup once and plan to watch it again before I start polishing. I ran out and snapped a few pics of the Avalanche real quick.

My dad uses the Adams kit on his C6 and swears by it!!
I wasnt home 2 hours with my wife's new '11 Malibu and he had me out there with the buffer waxing it with Adams stuff.

This is the one I bought. I really like it, by far the highest quality and easiest to use products Ive bought for my cars
