Default Fixing a HEAVILY oxidized test panel!

Here's a write up from our friends at Adam's Australia:



Hello Ladies and Gentleman,

Some of you may have seen a recent post of mine regarding a hood/bonnet found at a local Wrecker.

The back story can be found here: Adam's Polishes Results - Adam's Polishes Forums

Mook asked if I had taken pictures of the process and I did, so here they are.

Image 1- Bonnet as found with visible rust defects.


Image 2- Taped off and ready for a barrage of Adam's goodness


Image 3- Car Wash Shampoo and APC wash


Image 4- Post wash result and ready for Detail Spray and Clay Combo


Image 5- New Clay kneaded


Image 6- Sister assisting in Claying. Oxidation and grit on Clay


Image 7- Clay close up


Image 8- Post Clay and ready for Adam's 3 step Machine Polishing System with Gen4 Pads using PC 7424XP


Image 9- Adam's Severe Swirl Remover 4 passes at 5000 opm


Image 10- Post Severe Swirl Remover passes


Image 11- Adam's Swirl & Haze Remover 4 passes at 5000 opm 1 pass at 6000 opm


Image 12- Post Swirl & Haze Remover passes


Image 13- Adam's 4" FOCUS Pads at work for stubborn scratches. Using Metabo Cordless Drill with 4" Drill Backing Plate


Image 14- Swirl and Haze with pea sized drops



Adam's Machine Super Sealant and Brilliant Glaze were applied at the end. (forgot to take photos)

Did they use Fine Machine Polish after the Swirl and Haze I am assuming? Before sealing? Looks damn good.
