Hello from Colorado!!

Hey everyone... New member here from Colorado.

I lil about me is that i own and operate a VW & Audi group in Denver, MetroDubs - Your Colorado Volkswagen & Audi Group we've been doing the car thing since circa 2005..

I have 2 vehicles in my stable. 2005 Volkswagen Jetta GLI. (Madison)

New wheels

and my replacement for my Jeep that was totaled by a texting driver... My 2004 Toyota 4Runner (Wampa)

the paint is pretty dull.. so i have a weekend planned of correction, polish and sealing going to happen..

here is the correction i did on a 2005 Nissan Altima recently.
BEFORE PICS

After pics.

engine after.

I wish i took some better pics.. but i was in a time rush..

I started with washing the wheels, tires and wheel wells with Adam's All Purpose Cleaner and Green Tire Cleaner. scrubbing with the tire brush and wheel woolies. Sprayed the engine down with the APC and scrubbed all the oil and grease off with the boars hair brush. Then followed it all with a wash using Adam's Car Shampoo and a woolie sponge.

Then the entire car was clay barred.

Followed by my Flex and.. the following steps
1) Adam's Severe Swirl Remover
2) Adam's Swirl & Haze Remover
3) Adam's Fine Machine Polish
4) Adam's Machine Super Sealant
5) Adam's Brilliant Glaze

I should have followed that with a carnuba, but time was late on sunday... So i just quick detailed the car after i hit all the rubber and engine with Super V.R.T. and some In & Out Spray.

The door scratch was deep.. i used the 5 steps above but with 4" pads and a dewalt drill. That was the best i could do on the first hit and detail of the car. It is going up for sale, so that is 100x better than it was.

Wish I could bring my BMW 335i for "German Day"

Like the Jetta, I had an 03 1.8T myself. Darn thing was just too small for family/golf clubs!

Not a ton of Adams users here.

Nice work!
