This is the result, I used all Adams product and a Porter Cable Buffer.
I first washed it then applied Adams Swirl and Haze Remover, then Machine Polish and finally Adams Machine Wax.

 

That's one shiny xfire!

 

Great job. Your car looks stunning. I really like Adam's products.

 

Awesome. I have the same buffer. I have not used Adams but am pleased with Griots.

Yea great stuff, i also used their VRT Trim and Tire Dressing, In and Out Spray, great for your hoses and all black trim especially in the engine bay. Under Carriage Spray, apply it the wheel wells makes them nice and dark. (shouldn't need this once i install the lowering springs).
I followed the next day after the wax cured with Adams Detailer.

 

Never Heard of Adams...

How does it compare to Zaino and Griots?

 

I never used Zaino or Griots, i can compare it with Zymol Carbon. Adams is alot less money and shines just as well but cures better less smudges.

Looks fantastic !! Does this mean you have given up on ICE detailer ? Seriously that is one beautiful shine.

 

Yes it does, found me a new love. No more ICE.

 

Has my drill instructor in Boot Camp would say - "It shines like a diamond in goat's as*".

And believe me - when said that about the shine on your boots - you were in good shape!!

Great job - you convinced me to try their products on my aero blue XF!

 

I don't think I have ever seen a car with such a shine as yours. Is it the buffer and Adams? Fantastic. Let me know, thanks. Simply beautiful.

 

Yes, it's the first time I used the buffer as far as Adams I've used their products before and love them, I've used a lot of different products and so far they are my favorite.

 

The car looks beautiful, you did a fantastic job.

I love my Porter Cable DA polisher and can't imagine being without it. This thread just confirms in my mind though that as long as you use quality products (Adams, Meguiar's, Zaino, Prima, Optimum, etc) and your technique is really good, you'll get awesome results. It's all about having some passion for your car and pride in your work. And when you find something you really like you're more likely to use it often and keep your car looking its absolute best.

 

I really need to get on the stick with my car. It needs Help BAD! I've got High Speed Buffer Skills, but the edges on this car's body do create a challenge. Hmmm, what to do. I've always like 3M professional products as well. Napa sells them...

 

Looks GREAT!!! & well worth the effort.

 

Looks good! I am kicking around getting that setup so I can do my cars. I think I will pick one up in the spring at the first Carlisle show.

 

OK, Someone tell me the part number and the best place to purchase the polisher. Is it hard to use? How long does it take to buff the car? That is one shiny car!

 

Hey Tony, Doesn't look so bad for a black car!

Beautiful job.
