Well started buffing the truck so far got the hood, lf fender and driver side door done. No pics of the hood or fender as i did those a couple weeks ago, but heres some befores/afters of the door. I use all Adams products. First started off washing the truck, then clayed using Adams clay bar and Adams detail spray. Then using a porter cable 7424xp with Adams Orange pad and Adams swirl and haze remover, then to Adams white pad with Adams fine machine polish, finished off by Adams black pad and Adams super machine wax the trucks finish is scary but after is pretty damn clear ill let the pics talk lol

well the one i got is a radom orbital porter cable 7424xp i bought a whole starter kit from Adams Polishes so it came with the buffer, polishes, pads, detail spray, all purpose cleaner, clay bar and 2 quality microfibers and it was $330, i think the buffer alone is almost 200 not sure though.

That looks great. I was very impressed with my PC 7424. It took me about 8-9 hours to do my yukon and i didn`t even do the roof but it`s well worth the time and effort.

The worst thing about getting a orbital buffer is all your friends asking you to do their cars/trucks after they see how great they work.

worked on the inside all week now that its done (havent taken pics yet) i can resume work on the outside. got the driver back door done so the left side of the truck is 3/4 the way done lmao heres some pics id say its about 90-95% corrected on the panels ive done so far not tryin for super perfect but close. I really need to get my hands on Adams Green pad and severe swirl n haze remover so i could get it a lil more perfect in less time since the finish is so horrible.

50/50 dosnt have wax on it yet either in these shots

ok Left side is finally done. Didn't touch the bumpers or roof yet and still have to do the whole other side. It came out way better than i thought it would. All the little spiderweb brush marks are gone, theres still some deeper scratches but id say its about 85-90% corrected. heres some pics

Nice dude!!! I love seeing your progress on this. With mine being the same color it always urges me to get mine done as well. My paint isn't as bad as what yours started out to be but still is 4 years old now and would probably make a huge difference.

Very nice results. I love Adam's products, that is all I have in my garage. I need to get started on my vehicles, it has been about 1 year since they had a really good detail.

Have you submitted any of your before/after or 50/50 pics to Adam's yet? If not you should think about sending them some, they love to see the results from their customers.
