Never heard of Adams but will defiantly try it out.

Yeah ive used this stuff and it works flawlessly. Really good stuff.

Them c5's are looking mighty clean! Where do you all get your Adam products? Online?

This spring the cobalt will need a good detailing. Last time it got waxed was in November.

 

thanks man!! yeah you have to get it online unless they bring an adams trialer to a show or something like that. their products are great and you dont have to use much either

 

Yeah Ecaulk sent me the link. Great stuff on the website. I could get carried way buying stuff

 

thats just it they have a lot of nice stuff and before you know it your like wtf am i buying again haha

 

fixed

 

 

There's a lot of stuff on sale right now

 

dont be telling me stuff is on sale haha.

 

Valentines day sales!

I'm thinking about that butter wax

 

butter wax works great esp after a nice clay bar!!

 

I never know whether to use a paste wax or liquid.

 

jeff do you polish?

 

ive always used a liquid wax. goes on nice and comes off nice too. never took the time to use a paste though

 

Iv'e heard paste is the way to go if youre willing to do a little extra work

 

This is the most important step. Some hand polishes will help, but you're going to be doing a lot of work. Machine polish after a good clay bar, then wax and the paint will look dripping wet

 

You have pics after a fresh detailing?

 

I have to do that but i need a nice place with a shade

 

They do have a canadian site! But before I want one of everything, what are some suggestions on a basic or "starters" kit. Not something all out, but not just 1 thing.

 

What would be a good buffer?

 

Here is a good starter kit Adam's Essential Detail Kit all by hand stuff

They have an instructional video with the Cyclo polisher which is good if you can't hold onto something that vibrates, I have the Flex and its more aggressive but it also takes more energy to use.

Heres the video Adam's Instructional Videos | Detailing Tips

 

Cool thanks ill check that video out. but i mean any buffer in general what should i look for?

 

i got a variable speed buffer from harbor freight hasn't given me any problems haha

 

A rotary buffer? Or one of those "car buffers"?

I'll have to look, I might but they would be just cell phone pics

 

Heres the stuff i've REALLY been looking into. quite expensive but really all seems worth it, if you have ever watched this guys detailing tutorials on youtube (ammoNYC) you will know he's an absolute freak when it comes to polishing and protecting.

his products compliment his theories very well, and despite all of his videos he doesn't really 'push' to sell his products; he just knows you will buy them when you see what they help him do. he formulated everything himself and i think makes it all in house. no rebranded watered down gussied up crap here.

Regimens | AMMO NYC

would cost around 250 to get one of everything but it is quite a bit of really good stuff.

excellent car shampoo, drying aids, a paint 'moisturizer', and show quick wax.
as for wheels, some good wheel soap and some REALLY awesome wheel soap that turns purple when its ready to rinse, and some sick tire gel stuff
the interior 'regimen' is banana's too.

i just haven't had the ***** to buy any of it yet so havent really tested myself but i have faith that it's all pretty awesome.

 

Yes.
