Great! I will try and buy a few more things with the Adam's Revive. They have some great products. I just think of paying $9 shipping on a $20 item. haha.

Cheers!

washed my car last night and I found 3 pits in my clear coat from where bug carcasses sat too long. I've been told clay barring may help, but I'm hesitant to do it quite yet, any suggestions?

I have tried Tarminator, hand scrubbing the spot, microfiber buffing, and a polishing with my Porter. It wont do anything to these red guts (if that's even what it is).

My car is Opticoated and this stuff seems to be bonded past the clear coat. It is aggravating me so much that I may just take the Porter to it until the paint or the red smudge comes of (or both).

Any advice is appreciated:
Shouldn't the Opti Coat / Guard protect from this type of stain?

I just washed, clay barred and waxed my entire car the other day all by hand. It's very taxing and time consuming. I live in an apt complex and don't have access to a plug and I was curious if anyone could recommend a buffer that doesn't require a cord. Something that wont break the bank either

Is a no-rinse method preferred even if you have ample access to water facilities?
I'm contemplating getting the ONR wash& wax. Everyone seems to really like it for an all in one solution (even some dilute and use as detailing spray).

Or I could go with the Adam's detail kit. However, I think it may be more product than I'll ever use. Is it necessary to polish, glaze and wax?
