Default EFI's Paint Revival Program

For those of you who remember the last project car (The Murci), well here's something closer to home.

2002 Z06, that's been sitting for about a year, while the owner served his term fighting the war on terrorism. Our basecase car was covered with swirls and fine scratches. The wheels were dull and spotted, and the overall finish was just hazy for the whole car. Here are the before pics.....







Here are the pics of the revived paint finish and though the pics may not do the job full justice, suffice to say, the improvement was HUGE. All products used from start to finish were from Adam's.

Step 1: Adams Car Wash
Step 2: Adam's Clay Bar
Step 3: Adam's Swirl Remover
Step 4: Adam's Revive Polish
Step 5: Adam's Butter Wax
Step 6: Adam's Brilliant Spray Glaze
Step 7: Adam's Metal Polish 2 w/buffer
Step 8: Adam's Detailing Spray
