    stalebreadjr got a reaction from shooterjgs in A special forum thanks   
    I just wanted to send a special thanks to the folks on this forum that religiously answer questions and give feedback.  Specifically @RayS @falcaineer @Dan@Adams and there are many others as well but I see these guys chiming in on almost any topic.  Thank you guys for taking the time each day to read and help.  For me, it is invaluable.  Often times I read about problems that I don't necessary face but still find the knowledge and approach each person takes as valuable future info. 
     
    Kudos to you all and keep up the good work repping the best car care company in the biz..... in my opinion. 
     
    I put this in the feedback section because I think it fits best here.

    Thanks for the comments ! Not to shabby for a 13 year old truck getting ready  to turn 112 K on the odometer. Truck has zero rust, interior is mint as well, very hard to find so its a keeper !

    As the topic states, back in December I wanted to try out the new Graphene ceramic coating on my 2008 F150 Harley Davidson truck. The truck was coated the previous spring with Adams ceramic spray coating and lasted easily throughout the summer with regular washes and the normal upkeep. It stays outside all the time and being a 13 year old truck I wanted to put a coat of longer lasting protection on it. Strip washed, reclayed, 2 step paint correction and coating prep to remove any minor scratches and any old coating. After the normal prep work it was time to ceramic coat it. I found that going slow and taking your time is a key to application. Having the uv light was a major advantage ! So after sitting outside since December and hitting 60 degrees today it was time to get her a bath. Using the new graphene shampoo in my foam cannon and using it to wash the truck was a breeze, high amount of suds and lubricity and here are the results. Wow is what I heard from a couple of my neighbors and one said that's not a 2008 truck ! High remarks to the new graphene line !!

    This was a little project I began last fall when I pulled these wheels off in order to swap my winter set on...for the winter we never really had here in Northern Indiana.
     
    It ended up being a pretty tedious process and overall, I spent about 10-12 hours total to get them from the factory finish to the polished finish that you'll see in the pictures.
     
    The process I used was as follows:
     
    I began with aircraft stripper applied with a paint brush. The first coat of stripper was blasted off with the fire hose nozzle opened all the way up. That was enough to get the majority of the clear coat off.
     
    I then used a different kind of sprayable stripper and applied another full coat of that. Agitated with a VRT block sponge, then sprayed off with the hose. That got 99% of the clear off, and I just spot treated any left-over stubborn areas with the sprayable stripper and some #0000 steel wool.
     
    Once all the clear was gone, it was time to polish. I used an un-named red ball on a cordless drill with MP #1 for the majority of the heavy lifting. I did 1 wheel with MP #1 by hand and it nearly killed me, so that's why I switched to the ball.
     
    After everything has been hit with MP #1, I started with MP #2 and a blue MF applicator. This step made a HUGE difference! They looked nice after MP #1, but they really popped after #2 did it's work!
     
    After the MP combo was done, I did a quick IPA wipe down to remove and left over polishing residue, then applied two coats of QS with an Americana applicator. I also put one coat of QS on the barrels of the wheels, but didn't do any polishing on them. Followed that with a coat of Americana and some VRT on the tires. On to the pictures....
     
    Before:

    Here's a pretty good illustration of what the Adam's Metal Polish combo is capable of. Bottom three spokes are finished and you can see the half-finished, half-not line at the 9 o'clock position:
     

     
    Finished!

    This is the way many large companies have evolved.  It's part of the process of growth.  Doesn't diminish or take away from the great car care products from Adam's that we've enjoyed all these years.  It's just an expansion.  They're just putting it out there for those who might have need or want it.  Won't stop me from buying my car care products from Adam's.  They're still the best I've tried in my 74 years.

    stalebreadjr reacted to 07stanggt in How come?   
    I was wondering where the idea to carry oil, tranny fluid, came from, or more important, why? Being a huge fan of Adams products for many many years now, why this direction for the company. I know everyone needs to diversify. I remember when Adams hangers, socks, mugs etc came out, but was wondering when the Adams Shaving Kit, tooth brush and tooth paste set, office supplies, microwave oven, will be coming out ? I prefer a 16 oz bottle of convertible top cleaner, chrome polish or other detailing products that you don't have which I have to buy elsewhere, to oil for my car. I prefer Amasoil if it matters. This is by NO means meant to take anything away from Adams other awesome products, nor am I going to switch brands, but please stick with the products that got you guys where you are today, and focus on NEW DETAILING products you don't have out now and or things that make my car stay at its best for detailing, I don't need another flannel or beanie. Love Adams products, best customer service ever, nothing is going to change my mind about your detailing products, but.
    FYI, if you come out with a shaving kit, I'll take one LOL !!
