Junkman2008,

Please don't take this wrong, but are you a vendor, planning to become a vendor, or just a guy saving swirls...one swirl at a time?

I think this whole Adam's car wash product thing is getting out of control lol. I saw all his videos and most are featuring Adam's car wash products. Anyway I'm not here to start anything.

I think the main thing you should get out of all the videos isn't the products but the technique and attention to detail. Although I don't have the patience to stop swirl marks all together, following some techniques will at least limit it.

So how is the california duster any different from a swiffer? Especially if you follow the same barely touch the car technique? Just wondering because if I have them for the house anyway, I can just use them on the car too instead of getting a separate thing.

Check out what Tsolin01 says. He gets it. Guys who use Meguiar's products can substitute the appropriate products in place of the Adam's stuff and get the same exact results. So can Zaino users, along with a host of other professional product brands. It's not about the name on the bottle, it's about the process and technique itself.

The reason I do most of my demos with Adam's products is because the line is extremely simple and for a novice, they won't get lost in the choice of products. Their line fits a majority of the paint issues that you will see today which makes it ideal for a novice who just quit using the drive through car wash.

It is totally a mindset. The way you have worded your post has a feel to it that you have accepted your paints condition as a way of life. Yet, you understand that my techniques will severely limit more paint damage. You're 50% of the way there in your understanding which is why you can't see the brutality of using something like the Swiffer on your paint.

It would take you completely correcting your paint for this to sink in. Right now, you can't see the damage it does because of the damage already on your paint. If your paint was corrected, you would see the damage began to show up over multiple uses of a device like that. Every time you touch your paint, you risk the opportunity to damage it. That's why you limit the touching of the paint as much as possible, and then use the proper products when you do.

You're at the edge of the pool. We just need to push you in.

Haha yea I've pretty much accepted the fact it's never going to be 100% perfect all the time. You got some good techniques there though. I'm sure those videos will help people get one step closer to perfect paint.

I'm still confused after reading your response. Is it OK or NOT OK to use the California dusters? I'm thinking you're implying that it's NOT OK?

It's perfectly fine if you use it correctly. Did you watch the videos in the very first post of this thread?
