Default Tried Adam's Polish this weekend

Good results with their products:
-Car wash soap: very foamy
-Clay bar/detail spray: smells like bubble gum
-Wash mitt: really absorbant
-Revive Polish/Scratch remover: removed swirls, but hard to remove
-Glaze: Excellent shine, easy to remove
-VRT: Matte shine

I always used Klasse AIO & SG on my car, but this Glaze is so easy to remove compared to the SG.

Also put on a coat of Blitz wax to top it off
Will post pics when I can...

Default Looks great use less of the scratch and swirl and you should be good to go.

The stuff is really forgiving and you will know when you put too much of any of Adam's stuff on, the indicator is when its hard to remove.

Glad you like the stuff.

I thought the polish was REALLY easy to take off. Did you maybe use too much?

I forgot to mention that. I have not used the scratch remover yet. Did you watch Adam's videos?

Default It says 2/3 polish 1/3 scratch remover

Next time I'll do 3/4 polish 1/4 scratch remover

Results are amazing though
A lot more shine than Klasse

Default Does the Revive polish *remove* swirls marks or just hide them?

If it's "nonabrasive", how can it remove swirls and yet still be mild enough that it can be followed immediately with wax?

Default the Adam's scratch and swirl is what "removes" swirls... the revive polish

is exactly what the name says.. it's a polish.

Default Then why is Revive polish advertised as "removing" swirl marks?

This is why I asked. The Adams web site says Revive "removes" swirl marks. Evidently it doesn't. Hmmmm.

Saying that Revive "is exactly what the name says.. it's a polish" is meaningless; there is no industry definition of "polish". Indeed, I and I think many others define a "polish" as containing abrasives. A true polish, by that definition, would remove swirl marks. See, e.g., Menzerna "Intensive Polish" (containing "uniformly sized, milled abrasives") and "Final Polish" (containing "micro-fine, precision milled, mineral abrasives")(quotes taken from properautocare.com listings for those products). So saying that Revivie is a polish when it's really a nonabrasive chemical cleaner, and saying it removes swirl marks when it doesn't, is a bit...ummmmm....misleading.
