This week the PC 7424 arrived. I used it to do a full detail on my Harley and also to put sealant on my RAM.

On the Harley I washed it, clayed it, then adams swirl and haze remover, then adams polish and last adams machine super sealant. The paint was really in bad shape and needed a serious detail. This bike hasn't looked this good since it left the factory! The adams products did a great job.

I also used the super sealant on my RAM. Man that makes the paint shine! I told the dealer not to detail it, so the truck arrived and they just hosed it off so the paint is good and didn't really need to be clayed.

The PC really made the job so much easier. No more hand detailing for me!

Very nice, I looked it up and that thing isn't nearly as pricey as I thought it would be. Glad to hear both vehicles shined up nicely!

Yes - only $115 from Amazon. Great tool for sure!

A shiny one
Great job!

Once you use a machine, you'll kick yourself for doing it all by hand for so long!

Thanks. It's crazy how easy the PC was to use and how great the adams products work. This is a really good example of you get what you pay for.

Keep in mind too guys, when you buy a tool from Adams, they warranty it for life AND you get a backing pad with it already installed, whereas the ones bought on amazon come with NO backing pad and only some cheap white foam pad which I promptly tossed in the garbage. lol

I see some Adams in your arsenal there. Congrats! Looks AWESOME!

I got their new interior detailer last week and dang is it awesome!

While I love my 7424, I've never used it for applying anything, only polishing. Though I've never owned a vehicle with such large, flat panels as the RAM before...
Can't wait to do my first real detail on it this week.

Adams Machine Super Sealant can really only be laid down with a machine. If you put it on thick, it just KILLS you taking it off and because it's so viscous, it goes on hard by hand. Hence the name... lol

They have a pad for their Brilliant Glaze as well.

Personally, I use a Flex for 90% of my work now. I don't have time to use the PC for everything. I do think the PC is easier to finish down with though.
