You're gonna have to start buying Metal Polish #1 and #2 in gallon sizes!

Keep up the good work DP.


Remember, you're the one that converted me to Adams!!!

And the 2nd truck...black caddy SUV....exterior only....pretty bad shape as far as the paint goes....the bed cover really needed a couple good coats of SVRT and the rims got a good amount of elbow grease

before




















the after shots...nothing outside cuz of all the rain we had so most of the pics arent that great...here is what it looked like

DP, what Adam's kit would you suggest. I have a black V and my wife has an IBM Trailblazer (dark blue). Mine leather, her's cloth. Kid's eat in hers, barely let anyone sit in mine.

Great work on the VW, but you still can't polish a turd. lol

I can help DP on this one. For the best approach if you're on a budget:http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-568-a...isher-kit.aspx


You'll be surprised at how easy the machine is to operate. Watch the many Adams detail videos!

Thanks guys....the kit Mike linked you to is a good place to start for the exterior. What r u looking to do with your cars as far as paint correction? What kind of budget are you looking at? They also have an interior kit which makes cleaning a breeze. Get me some answers and I can suggest something a little more specific for you.
