That looks like more than a 2" level in your sig pic.

 

As far as Adams goes, start with some car shampoo, clay bar with detail spray and a coat of paint sealant......that's a good financial ease into the world of Adams. If you have or buy a polisher, do some paint correction followed by paint finishing polish topped of with paint sealant. Put some VRT on you tires and trim also.

You live in New England and you own a black vehicle.. prepare to spend copious amounts of time detailing, just to have her look good for an hour  :lol:

 

So true!

So this is pretty much my first thorough detail with Adams products (any products for that matter). Been reading the forums and watching the vids numerous times as this is a bit of a learning curve for me.

 

Started yesterday late afternoon. Washed Tires and wheels with Tire/rubber cleaner and Wheel cleaner.

Early this morning I foamed the truck then a 2 bucket wash followed by Detail spray and Visco clay bar then rinsed and dried whole truck.

Midday I cleaned all glass and sealed it. Super VRT on tonneau cover and all plastics. Tire shine on tires and then LPS on the rims.

I love the LPS on the rims. They look awesome now! Crazy stuff!! :banana:

Sun was hot so I waited till dusk to continue with rest of the truck as I do not have a garage. :(

Revive hand polish then LPS on all paint. Brutal on the arms. :)

Unfortunately I only have Buttery wax at this time. (Brilliant Glaze and Americana wax on order)

Sun has set now so...

Tomorrow morning I will finish with a coat of Buttery wax. The shine is incredible so far! :2thumbs:

 

Because I live in New England I really wanted to just clean, decontaminate and seal the paint then add some protection till my glaze and Americana comes in.

 

So far I love Adams products. I will say that today I have learned the terms "easy on, easy off" is all relative when polishing by hand. lol

Prob gonna be sore tomorrow! A machine polisher would rock!

Going to put a polisher on my Christmas list this year. Haha!

Paint "correction" will have to wait till next spring as it's not terrible but not perfect either.

Impressive results and a sharp looking truck!

 

Thanks guys. :2thumbs: I really like how the tire dressing doesn't sling everywhere!
