Default Re: Vintage Acid Rain Spots

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: sixt9rsx33</div><div class="ubbcode-body">This is what I have done so far

1. Clay barred the entire car
2. Polish compounded the car
3. Polished the car with Adams Revive Polish
4. Waxed the car with Adams Butter wax

When I polish compound the car I get a lot of black residue on the applicator and also the microfiber cloth. I am guessing this is crud off the paint and also could be some of the paint coming off the car. I probably should just keep polishing the roof which is the worst, but layoff the polish compound. I don't want to polish the paint off the car. The surprising thing for me is that the black lacquer stripes have much better shine than the top side of car.

Thanks for the input guys.

Yes, I would lay off the compound at this point. The Adam's Revive is very gentle, works by hand, and does put some natural oils back in the paint.

Adam's is a great company, you can take a few pics and e-mail to Adam's, they have good people who will respond to see if they can suggest something. I have dealt with Adam personally and he is a real down to earth guy. Check out their web site.

The Z has Adams Revive Polish and the Adams butter wax on it. Will try the Imperial hand glaze.

Thanks
