Can someone PM a price for a FULL ON detail of my car? I do have swirl marks, etc. from car washes and what not. Also recently noticed a nice long scratch on my driver side door in the middle. Looks like it just needs a good buffing.

Also, include a price for interior if you do that kind of detailing too.

Full car. Top to bottom. Depending on the price, I may pursue this.

It’s pretty much a PC7424. I love it, although I don’t use it very often. Their products aren’t bad, I know there are definitely better products out there but their website makes ordering the SHIT you need very easy. They also sell other cool shit like overpriced garden hoses and things of that nature

I just placed a rather large order with [adamspolishes.com](http://adamspolishes.com) just yesterday. Their customer service is second to none. The fact that they stand behind their product means a lot. If you don’t like the product you get a full 100% refund and get to keep the product too. I plan on getting one of their Flex orbital polisher kits in the next few weeks too.

I use a few Adam’s products. Very good as well. It’s about finding a system that works for your car.

Pretty much yeah. It achieves the same results in half the time it would take with the PC.

Half the time might be a bit of an exaggeration but you catch my drift. There are some comparison test videos on YouTube.

Yea, if you don’t know what you’re doing DO NOT buy a Flex. You can do permanent paint damage.
