Default Professional detailer

I use all Adams products! I start with a high pressure rinse and I use a two bucket method and move along to using a foam gun to remove the heavy grit! I complete another rinse cycle and I began to clay bar the entire paint surface! After completing the cleaning stage I examine the paint and determine the severity of the paint. I start my 5 stage polishing and waxing process by using a porter cable to deepin the buttery shine!

Thanks,
Josh

He's not implying, he's stating. Are you a sponsor? Then nope.

Apology accepted. No worries, you didn't know. Only way to advertise on here is to be a paid sponsor. Welcome to the site and good luck with your detailing.

I had my experience with Adams and it just doesn't seem to hold to real professional detailing products.

Really I have used Adams products for some time now and I have been very impressed with the product! What did you not like about it?

So what's your 5 steps? I call compounding and then polishing a 2 stage process.

Well I guess your right in some degree. I use a SHR and then FMP then a sealant and proceed to higher grade of a sealant and finish the wax off with a high end buttery wax to give it a ultimate shine and unforgettable glaze

Lol I wasn't trying to be a dick. I guess I could've explained more on my post that you can't do that unless you're a sponsor.

I've yet to try Adam's products and will openly admit the prices have an amateur detailing like myself a little concerned. If I was going to try and make an honest living detailing I'd probably use a bulk of Menzerna's product line.
