Adam's Polishes

No before shots this time guys (sorry) you`ll just have to take my word for it... it was pretty bad. 06 Tahoe... 17k miles... waxed 2 times since new... not garaged... car wash visitor every couple of weeks. :nono
Weather was good as far as temps but theres a thunderstorm rolling into San Diego and I think the edge was making its way up here b/c I was contending with bad light all day... even rained for a couple of minutes. I hate when that happens b/c I think that all my hard work is going to be ruined within minutes of the customer driving away... fortunately it moved on and I got some decent shots before they picked it up.
Process:
Adams car wash soap, 2 bucket method w/ grit guards, sheep skin mit
Misted w/ Adams QD spray, dried w/ white waffle weave MF drying towels
Clayed with Adams purple clay
1 pass w/ DER Tuff Stuff on Green Durafoam pad
1 pass w/ DER Real Stuff on White Durafoam pad
Topped off with 2 coats of DER Shiney applied by hand
Wheels & bumpers polished by hand with REJEX
Adams VRT on all trim
Adams Invisible Undercarriage spray inside fenders
NOT SHOWN -
Complete engine and interior detail

I know its not a well known product line on this site, but I love how the DER line really makes the metallic pop on this paint... by far my favorite treatment for this color... I am contemplating adding a layer of a good carnuba or poly/carnuba blend (perhaps Adams MSW) before the Sealer just for some more depth next time.
