Some finishes need to be repainted if they have been neglected for too long. I back my products with a 110% guarantee, yet nothing we manufacture will replace missing paint or disintegrating clear-coat. Note that because boat and RV finishes are different from standard vehicles, the restoration process is dependent on the age and color of the gelcoat or fiberglass. Contact me directly through the “Ask Adam” page or call me at 866-965-0400 and give me specific details of your boat or RV. I’m happy to discuss your unique situation.

For all other vehicles, follow these steps for removing oxidation:

• Wash and dry the vehicle.

• Follow with the Clay Bar and Detail Spray. The combination removes surface contaminants and facilitates polishing. For sever oxidation, use Scratch & Swirl Remover and Revive Polish, combining the two 70 – 30 respectively. Applying by hand, you can reduce swirl marks by 60 – 85 percent. To reduce marks by 95 – 100 percent, I recommend using a polishing machine like the Porter Cable D/A. Purchase the tool at www.adamspolishes.com, or at most home improvement centers. I find models 7424 and 7336 to be the most effective. We sell the applicator pads you’ll need. Use the black pad and set the machine to 4 (4K orbits/minute). Polish the entire vehicle. Remove residue with a clean microfiber towel.

• With a clean applicator pad, apply Revive Polish to the entire vehicle. Remove residue with a microfiber polishing towel and follow with the Butter Wax. Remove residue with a microfiber polishing towel.
