Well, I just got my first purchase of Adams's Polishes. WOW. Everything works as advertised. I had a pretty bad case of overspray on the Slimer from a construction company next door to where my wife works that was painting outdoors. I clayed the car, and it is now smooth as a baby's ass. I then used the "Fine Machine Polish". There is not so much as a scratch in the paint. No overspray either! It removed every imperfection except the factory defects. Those are far and few. Next I used the "Machine Wax". Wow, what a shine.

Adam's recomends the Porter Cable #7424 polisher. I bought one and now recommend it as well.

I finally got to use it as well. I demolded and used the swirl and haze remover to remove dirt marks that the clay bar couldnt remove. After the polish and wax the thing is as smooth as glass. I dont own a camera and my sister wasnt available to go take pictures. I hope to wash it again saturday and then take pictures. I think at first I wasn't putting the wax on enough as it was hardly visible then put it on a little more and could start to see it cure and was easy to take off. Like live2well said all their stuff smells great too. I just got undercarriage spray and vrt and some more microfiber towels and applicators today so I want to try them out saturday. I have a question now that i think of it--is the vrt safe on the daytona decals since they are vinyl? Also would you use it on the flat black spoiler? I woudn't think it would look bad since it dries matte and isn't sticky.

I used the clay bar and machine polish on my wing. It looks pretty good. I e-mailed Jason @ Adam's about the decals. He was gonna check with Adam and let me know. I will post his answer when I get it.

The detail spray seems to work well on the decals.

I'm very interested in what he says. I'm think about buying Adam's, but want to make sure that their products won't have any negative effects on the decals.

I have been using Adams for quite some time now and I have a Daytona. I have no issues with my decals. They look great!!! Just follow the video instruction and you should be good.

But what exactly are you using on the decals? We were wondering about the vrt. I have used the detail spray and it works fine but want to know if the vrt will add protection and enhance the look without looking greasy or sticky.

I actually act as if the decals arent even there. I use the Buttery wax and Brillant (sp) Glaze spray as top coats and it has protected them well. I will sometimes put the VRT on the Decals but I only let it sit there for a bit then I wipe off the excess. :alfdance:

The car is exposed to the weather year round. One day I will get some more recent pictures. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa319/live2well/DSC_1444.jpg

I tested the vrt on the decals today and I applied a very thin coat of it and does provide a nice look to it but again I made it a very thin layer. After that I just detail sprayed them and wiped to even it all out. On the spoiler it seemed to spot after a couple of drops of water dripped on it but wiped it down and used some detail spray and it looks good.

Here's a couple of pics of my car after using Adam's stuff. I won't use anything else.

Notice how the polish and wax let the metallic flake show through on this one.

When I seen this product at a car show I was hooked, I bought the package that come with the buffer and it puts one hell of a shine and the finish is smooth as ice!!!!

I'm hooked on Adams Polishes now, spent 9 hrs washing, claying, swirl and haze/revive polishing, and waxing. And WOAH the paint is silky smooth and a shine that would make jesus cry with joy. I'll post a picture later on.

The weathers been crap since I detailed it with Adams Clay Bar, Swirl and Haze/Revive Polish, and Buttery Wax. Here's a quick preview, more pics will come this weekend.

I like adams stuff as well.

And just FYI, its much easier to detail without those silly door moldings.
