    My boyfriend is a retired body man after 30 years, all he uses and swears by is WIZARD products. This cannot be applied by hand, It must be buffed with a buffer. I can tell you this, that stuff is like magic. He buffed out my 90 Lumina last summer, and it's all original paint and clear coat (torch red). It is a two step process, first step is Wizard rough cut, and second step is Wizard finish cut.

    Adam's Polish does work good, but you'll be an old man by the time you get it done.....Too much manual labor for me, learn to use a buffer

    You use a machine with Adam's. I can do a FULL complete paint correction in an afternoon. So, No, he won't be an old man.

    i find that hard to believe unless youre talking about small amount of sheet metal. Just claybaring a vehicle properly takes along time. Crew cabs deffently arent an afternoon job

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    To be fair I consider it afternoon until the sun goes down, but yeah. Crew cabs, no definitely not an afternoon. But a little regular cab? You can move pretty damn fast. Sure there's a lot of acreage to cover, but it's all flat easy going. And it depends on the condition of the vehicle I'm starting with. I should've said I can do MY truck in an afternoon, as it's been cared for since it was new.
