    This client came to me by way of following my FaceBook page. I had never worked on one of these little FWD rockets before. Pretty damn cool car to be honest!! However, it was a prime example of how things can RAPIDLY harm your car. Even though it was a 2013, and only had 12k miles. The lack of protection, and use of automatic car washes, quickly wrecked this car's curb appeal. Here's how the salavation went down:




    -Vacuum Interior

    -Stains on rear seats removed with Adam's Carpet/Upholstery cleaner & Adam's Utility Towel

    -Dash, doors, instrument panel, etc. Handled with Adam's Total Interior Detailer, Adam's Utility Towel, and fine brushes, along with Adam's Detail Spray on the shiny parts

    -Engine bay soaked with Adam's APC, lightly scrubbed with Adam's Boars Hair Brush, then rinsed & blow dry with MetroVac Sidekick

    -Wheels cleaned with Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner & Adam's Turbo Stick

    -Tires & wheel wells scrubbed with Adam's APC

    -Pressure Wash car to knock off surface dirt

    -Foam cannon soak with MTM Hydro containing Adam's Car Wash Shampoo (3oz.) & Adam's Waterless Wash (2oz), rest of the 32oz. cannister filled with water

    -Full 2-bucket wash with Adam's Car Wash Shampoo & Adam's APC to strip existing protection

    -Rinse & leave car wet for clay bar process

    -Adam's Clay Bar & Adam's Great White Drying Towel & Adam's Detail Spray

    -Corrected with Rupes LHR21 Bigfoot, Adam's Orange Pad, & Adam's Correction Polish

    -Pulled car out to rinse compound dust

    -Polished with Adam's Finishing Polish & Adam's White Pad

    -Nourish engine bay with Adam's In/Out Spray, SVRT milk, & Adam's SVRT

    -Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray in wheel wells

    -Alcohol 70/30 mix wipedown

    -Apply Adam's Quick Sealant

    -Wipe down car with Adam's Waterless Wash to discharge static

    -Layer on Adam's Americana Paste Wax

    -All tires, plastic, and rubber fed with Adam's SVRT

    -Final inspection done with Adam's Detail Spray & Adam's Double Soft Towel

    Thanks gentlemen!! :) Preciate y'all.
    It's a Behr floor coating. Got it all at home depot. Steps were as follows:
    1) Spot clean oily stains with Adam's All Purpose Cleaner (not joking)
    2) Apply Behr concrete floor etching
    3) Tape off outer perimeter
    4) Lay Behr concrete floor primer & cure 6 hours
    5) Measure 6" border & tape off again
    6) Lay Gator Grip textured floor coating & cure 24 hours
    7) Tape inner edge of Gator Grip & lay Behr Tile Red w/ gold & black flake & let cure 24 hours
    8) Apply Rustoleum clear coat w/ anti-slip promoter to entire surface
    9) Let cure 72 hours & enjoy!!

    Chase,

    Can you compare the cutting powers of your 2 new polishes to that of like Meguiars or Menzerna since Im most familiar with them?
