Mine was at the hartford airport 24 hours ago and left on its journey down here...just need to make it through tomorrow the maxima looks great, mike

I use VRT on a sponge on the wheel wells on the vette, they stay matte black and not shiny. Give it a try, it sounds like what you're looking for. Doing it by hand this way ensures you cover every square inch and apply it evenly. I used the Undercarriage Spray a couple times trying to convince myself it would be easier but I have always gone back to the method I described above.

Yes, the kit without the PC does still come with the Adam's pads and yellow backing plate.

Yet another original piece of equipment with 14 years of....stuff (?) stuck to it:help: **This is the original Metal Polish #1 not the new fusion of 1&2*** I took some steel wool, wet it, and scrubbed away. Then I rinsed and wiped clean. Next I put some metal polish on the steel wool and scrubbed again (works much better at getting what was left over), and again rinse and wipe clean. Then I applied metal polish by itself with an applicator (needed to use a bit of pressure to get the last layer of film off), and buffed it off with a clean (junk costco) towel I went ahead and washed, and it already has plenty of wax on so I had time to tackle the door jambs, seals, and pillars Anybody notice anything strange about my neighbor's lawn?

That whole thing fits inside the jar?? The picture makes it seem like it's taller than the jar itself...how much of the jar is actually filled with the paste? Or is the blue foam part just compressed at the top between the red applicator and the lid?

Steve, What was wrong with the black one? It was made in the USA and only cost me $40. It holds everything I need to take on the road to a car show, with room to spare.

Those pics make me WANT to get a black car now, the last one is amazing:thumbsup:

F me, did you put it on your wheels too? Monday can't come fast enough

This is the prototype that Adam posted back in November: http://adamsforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=31&stc=1&d=1225853406 I don't know about its status, but I'm assuming it was shelved temporarily while they squared away the new paste wax, among other things, which have been in development for quite a while

When I opened them up to either clean out dust, add more memory, or swap a hard drive, I lost count of how many times I said out loud "what the f were they thinking???" Some scary stuff inside those old compaq boxes

Well there were a few other 4-letter words I could use to describe them

I have the short-lived black bag. While it doesn't have as many pockets as the red one (or the prototype that Adam posted a while ago) black looks better inside my car and makes the logo stand out more.

I've got Windows XP x64 on my main machine (built myself as well), and my MacBook dual-boots OSX Leopard and Vista Ultimate I like variety Rarely do I have a problem using Windows, but like what has been said, it's down to the user. I've made thousands of dollars worth of tech support calls on my parent's PC and the nice son I am I don't even charge them If you have the know-how, you can save a LOT of money by building a desktop yourself. I buy all of my components from newegg.com and saved at least 40% off the cost of a comparable machine from a retail store. Plus you get to pick the exact system specifications, and you can get creative without worrying about voiding any warranties: (my second pride and joy) My parents have a Dell Inspiron now and so far it has been very reliable. Their past two machines were Compaqs and I found the build quality to be poor

Once you get your PC, be sure to watch Junkman's video on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SDC3oYRaG8 He presents a lot of crucial information on the PC that you should know before using it. He has a whole series of videos on correcting your car's finish. Below are two more videos involving the PC that you also may want to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnPEYo6_3ZI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMbZN6aaerg And here is the topic he made with all of his videos: http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2386

Hi Mark, Yes, the PC ships separately because Adam's does not directly stock it. It will ship from (I assume) one of the authorized Porter-Cable dealers that Adam's works with. Seeing that you're from NY it will probably come from tools-plus.com, in the next 5 days.

My delivery date is next Monday the 18th, which is the first day I have completely free, perfect timing.. now I don't have to let the wax sit around over the weekend taunting me until I can use it:lolsmack:

I just got my tracking number :willy:Can't wait for next Monday

It's difficult to spread the correction process over several days if the car is your daily driver. Wash and clay first, to get that out of the way, so that when you go to resume your work later you can give it a quick wash/dry or detail spray/wipedown and move straight to the Swirl&Haze Remover. Do what Junkman said, and concentrate on one small area at a time. Patience is key. In your situation, I would suggest after you complete each panel, put a hand coat of Buttery Wax on the panel (if you have it, otherwise you can just use some other wax since it will only be temporary) to keep the surface protected while you continue to drive and work on your car at the same time. Once you have finished correcting the entire car, you can wash with Dawn to remove the 'temporary' wax, and put down a coat of Machine Wax to seal the paint and give it better, longer-lasting protection. Then you can follow that with a coat of Americana for the ultimate shine.

Wow, what a difference, good job:thumbsup: Another thing you may like, is that now that you have a coat of Machine Superwax on, washing your car will become much much easier. I have a white daily driver with a coat of machine wax on it and dirt refuses to stick. Thanks to that layer of protection my washing time has been cut in half.

If by extreme temperature you mean above 90F or below 40F there is a good chance it might have separated. If you shake it, what happens? If you can take a picture that would be a good way for us to determine

that's almost too good to be the same car, amazing, especially the wheels.

Still shipping out today, right?:xfingers:
