Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detail Supplies - The Essentials Kit

I ordered the The Essentials Detail Kit from Adam's and it will be here on Monday. I plan on trying this stuff out. I heard it was good. I'm really hoping I can clear up my headlights. They are faded pretty bad. Besides that my car needs a good wash and detail.

Has anyone used this kit before? Any tips?

I've been using Adams Polishes for two years the best stuff out, you will throw Mejuars in the trash.
Make sure you watch the DVD and clay your car buy the Glaze.

Did you use a machine to polish or is this all by hand?

It was all by hand.

I was going to buy the machine kit they have but I figured I would just try it out with the basic detail. Now that I have seen the results I plan on getting the machine kit that comes with the orbital buffer. Should make things go a whole lot faster and do a better job as well.

I am have been thinking of buying this kit. I use Meguires right now, how does Adam's Polishes compare to them with ease of use? I will not be using an orbital buffer (all by hand). I also have a True Blue stang, how well does it do on this color, hard to apply/remove?

It was very very easy. The kit comes with a DVD to watch. They explain how to use each of their products and the steps you do things in to make it easier. Definitely watch the DVD prior to doing it. I had never detailed my car that in depth before so it was all new to me. Everything went very smooth. No problems getting anything off the car.

If you do get it, I bought mine through the Adam's website. When you check out, use the coupon code BRAD. Also select Brad Duval in the drop down of who helped you. He's the guy that hooked me up with the coupon.
