Help on what to buy for my 2012 Black gt

[CoreyHM1]

My head hurts from searching, theres just too many choices on what to buy!

I want something not too advanced but will work, my car has some slight washing swirls marks, and waterspots/oxidation.

i want something to take it all out and seal it, everything i used in the past only seems to want to last a month or so.. i dont know about everyone else, but thats A LOT of work for something that doesn't last!

opinions? Ill order online.. doesnt have to be OTC

I hear a lot about pinnacle and zaino. Also what tire shine should i use? I been using gel but that crap just builds up to sloppy slimey gunk

Doc, you looking to do this by hand or invest in a machine?

Just curious, which tire gel are you having problems with? I use Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel myself and have not used a better product yet. Many others will vouch for this product as well. You can dictate the shine by amount applied, no product sling, holds up for weeks, and since very little product is needed one bottle of this lasts forever! Might want to look into this one :thumbsup:

I think mine is meguires, it looks good until it starts collecting dirt... Also if I use it more than once it builds up and gets reall nastyy and sloppy on the tire. Probably going to have to use a degreaser to get it off

 

[T0RCH3D]

Clean and strip the tire of its previous dressings with a degreaser/APC and then reapply the dressing. I am not familiar with this tire shine in particular but if it still gives you trouble then it is time you move on to another dressing...aka Opti-Bond!

Adam's Polishes is very easy to use, when you do jump to a machine, i've been using it for 3 years now and am more than happy with it...if you don't like it, return the remaining portions and get 110% of your money back...they are also a great company to work with...once i ordered some liquid products in december and i got home too late and they all froze and were unusable...i spoke with a rep and told them the situation...they sent me new products at no charge (even though it wasn't their fault) and worked the shipping for my day off

I second ADAM's Ive spent over $700 on products from them, but that includes the machine, several chemicals, wash bucket on caster wheels, and my just received mobile Handy cart that I store everything on. They have a sale going on now:
Adam's Premium Car Care - Cleaners, Waxes and Polishes Made in the USA

What turned me on to them is all their great vids on their products.

Watch this video:

Adam's Starter Porter Cable 7424 XP Polisher Kit

This explains "HOW TO" even if you are not using their stuff. That Porter cable 7424 is the best machine for beginners to intermediate users. If you have a black car and need to remove wash scratches (correction). You will def need to invest in one.
Flip through their other vids on their products.

The sale now is free shipping over $150 and 15% all stuff with the product code.

Good Luck
