Nick@Adams Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Here's a job our team member Chase did. Great turnaround on this poor black paint! This client contacted me as an AVID Corvette fanatic. This is the 37th Vette he's owned!! Title of this thread denotes the year, model, & miles. Needless to say it was a CHALLENGE. Primarily in the paint finish. Honestly, the interior & engine bay were in pretty good condition! It's obvious the previous owner had intentions on keeping this gem clean, but simply had NO CLUE as to how to care for the paint finish. Heavily swirled & marred, I knew I had some hours ahead of me, in paint correction!! Overall, the car looked "dirty gray" (even after being washed) and not even a shimmer of gloss left in it. Here was my plan of attack: Adam's Boar's Hair Brush & Car Wash Shampooon the engine bay (no APC needed) Blow dry with Metro Sidekick blaster Adam's All Purpose Cleaner & Fender Brush on tires & undercarriage Adam's Turbo Stick& All Purpose Cleaner on wheels 2-bucket wash with Adam's Car Wash Shampoo & an added 2oz. of Adam's APC (to strip old wax, etc. - without this, the Adam's Car Wash Shampoo is PH neutral) along with 2 Jumbo Wash Pads Rinse car & Adam's Clay Bar with Detail Spray entire vehicle Condition engine bay & all plastics with Adam's SVRT & block sponge Tires dressed with Adam's SVRT Wheel wells dressed with Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray Polishing consisted of the following: New "prototype" Adam's heavy compound polish New "prototype" Adam's microfiber cutting pads Flex PE14-2 Rotary Flex 3401 Polisher 4" Drill Kit for the lower doors & scoops New "prototype" Adam's fine machine polish & Adam's White Pad Top off with Adam's Brilliant Glaze & Americana Paste Wax, both applied with a Red Hex Grip Applicator All polishes & waxes removed with Adam's Single Soft & Double Soft towels UPON ARRIVALDURINGDURINGUPON INSPECTION AFTER WASHDURING POLISHINGDEBADGED REAR DECKLIDTAIL BEFORETAIL AFTER (deeper scratches, too deep to repair)ENGINE BAY COMPLETE (sorry, no "before" shots)FINISHED CARWhy do I aaaaaaalways forget to take interior pics???!!!?!?!!! Aaaaarrgghh!!! Well, anyway, here's what I used...... Adam's Leather/Interior Cleaner & Interior Brush on seats Adam's Leather Conditioner & block sponge on all interior leather & plastics Adam's Detail Spray & Single Soft towel on glass (was pretty clean upon arrival) Adam's Quick Sealant on windshield (out of Glass Sealant) Thanks for looking!!

Very smart decision. You wont regret switching. Not only are the product amazing, but the customer service is A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ They are the best company I have ever dealt with in my life. I have ordered lots of products from them and only had one problem. I ordered one of their daily specials and got the wrong order. I called them up and I talked to Adam himself, we chit chatted for 15min, he set me out the correct order ASAP and let me keep the other order. Everyone who works there is amazing.

synyster_SS Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 The difference between before and after is unreal! My paint is not nearly that bad.. the SS does need a good detailing/polishing come spring time, though. Just need to find someone local who does a kickass job like that!
