stalebreadjr Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Took a couple days to shine up the wife's Compass. The wheels were nasty! It took a few times with TRC to get them back to black. Washed, Clayed, Polished (Revive) and Americana Paste Wax. I think Jeep hates detailers BTW....that honeycomb grill is ridiculous.... Tire and Jeep Before Pics: AND here is the final product after all said and done: Didn't notice the smushed pecan on the tire until after the pic . falcaineer, buffalobob920, Nickfire20 and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the class took a much more hands-on approach and these tables weren't used for instruction. We got great feedback, so we'll see what the classes look like in the future... Hope to see some of you at a class soon! tlbullet, stalebreadjr and SouthernSteve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big trailer going city to city, setting up for a class and to sell a bunch of product - sounds like a money maker, plus a whole bunch of educated and happy clients. stalebreadjr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo Ma's Cousin Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I'm in for this as well. I don't know, Adams... that's 2 from GA and 1 from SC, maybe it's time to relocate HQ down here. Maybe like in Athens, GA? I can do the site planning and permitting, no worries. stalebreadjr, SouthernSteve and RayS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galaxy Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Not an in the action detailing shot, but picked up a suuuupppeeerrr clean 2012 GT for my son. Paint needed work, but the car was an amazing example. We were out in the garage and I accidentally captured some pretty descent shots of the paint. I hate to admit it, but I had to revert to some other products to get the paint where I wanted it. In Adam’s defense, I don’t think I worked the correcting compound as long as I should have. Might have gotten there. BUT...the finished product in the photos here is Finishing Polish and spray ceramic coating.

Captain Slow Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I rinseless washed the SS using Adam’s Rinseless Wash, WARM water and a bucket full of MF towels. I sprayed each panel first for a presoak. Wheels were cleaned with the same wash solution. After I took the pics I put Tire Shine on the tires. falcaineer, mc2hill, SouthernSteve and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife grew up in SE Alabama and said those Pecans were her part-time job after school. When she was a kid, they had 3 trees in the yard and would collect them. stalebreadjr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a blessing and a curse.... it's great to have them right in my yard to pick and eat.... but the oil spots left in the driveway from crushed pecans is a constant battle! It's 2 straight months of constantly blowing the driveway off and collecting. SouthernSteve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stalebreadjr Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Applied tire armor on the 1500 today.... I'll say.... they weren't kidding when they say u may need to clean the tires 4 or 5 times to get it to stop turning brown. Attached are pics on 1st clean(brown) and 4th clean(white) and then final dried/applied pic. I actually cleaned 1 more time before applying.

Some tires are worse than others, but needing 3-5 times is pretty common. Nice work! BTW, if you want them shinier, apply a second coat to make them look more like TS. Just a tip.

stalebreadjr Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Believe it or not..... that is 2 coats! 😂 the first coat seemed like it just absorbed into the tire. I also used both mf applicator and interior detail brush on each coat..... side note.... the new red interior brush bleeds very bad! I had to clean it a ton with apc and dry and it still bled a lil.

Captain Slow Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Yesterday while it was raining and snowing outdoors I rinseless washed the SS in my heated garage. I used Adam’s Rinseless Wash, WARM water and a bucket full of MF towels. I sprayed each panel first for a presoak. Wheels were cleaned with the same wash solution. Adam’s Tire Shine went on the tires. stalebreadjr, mc2hill, RayS and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
