Awesome shine. I converted from off the shelf products to Adam's after seeing their stuff at A&A's part two years ago. Haven't looked back since. The only thing I haven't tried is the metal polish and after hearing so many good reviews, I think I am gonna have to give it a shot.

Jason, here's a couple more pics from my camera.
Your car sure woke up after that clay and compounding (the polish, cleaner and wax helped too ) thanks again for helping out so I could leave earlier.
Your car looks awesome.

Pictures can be deceiving. I can show you a picture of one of my vehicles where the paint looks blemish free. But up close and in person, there are surface scratches everywhere.

Sounds like you need to do some compounding with a Porter Cable.

BTW, I put another coat of wax on by hand yesterday and it only got better!

I'm gonna bust out the Halogen with 2 500 watt bulbs and check the surface later today or sometime this week.

You are right and I don't know of any paint that is absolutely blemish free.

Matter of fact I have done a couple of 06 Vettes that had very few miles on them and on both found 1 1/2-2 inch circles of pure swirls but only in that one little spot in a nearly perfect 2 inch circle........don't know where they came from or how they got there, too small for a buffer to make them. I believe they came that way from the factory.

Jason's Yellow Vette however had minimal damage, mainly in the rear hatch area and the typical very fine maring you get from washing, but the compounding cleaned up most of that.
