See ya guys there! - Eric

Ehhhhh honesly there pretty garbage, if you are gonna use them @ least rip off the tags they have on them! But id invest in a few nice talls bud... i stay far away from those costco talls, they have their usees just not on the paint lol

Wash the great white and still have detail spray (pink) on it... Spot treated with microfiber cleaner and used it in the washer for soap... Normal?

Welcome... Love the SRT

Really all depends on when the last time was you waxed it. If it's been more than two months and several wash jobs I wouldn't worry about it, most all the wax is gone. The clay will remove wax, however if there's too much wax it will make the clay less effective. The process of polishing will remove wax too, but can clog the pores up on the polishing pad making it less effective.

Gotcha, I'm holding off on the Vette for now anyways, it has minor swirls in the paint & there very hard to see because of my color! What rele needs attention is my 97' Subaru... Its black and never had a detail in its life... Needs a lot of TLC, I'll take before \ after pics because this one will be very drastic of a difference!!!

Did you do a decon wash with APC/CWS or just a regular wash with CWS?

Just a shampoo wash..

Looks good!!! I'm guessing you liked my emblems lol

I'll have to order some sprays then, a lot cheaper than wasting good product. . . How important is it too strip the old wax prior to using the flex? When I did my wash yesterday I just used the car shampoo, with the intensions of clay barring and starting the polishing process . . .

Foaming sprayers use a lot more product than the normal sprayers. If the vehicle isn't too dirty I will use the normal sprayers and lightly mist. If I know they're dirty, I'll use the foaming sprayer.

so what your saying is I should buy different sprayers?

^ Tires weren't too bad I'm assuming since they stayed green and didn't get all brown in color! & how could you lightly mist when its either foaming or stream

If the wheels are bad, especially the barrels, I can go through that much GWC. as far as the APC, that's about right. I started buying by the gallon. Really reduces cost per ounce.

the APC was used for the tires (fender brush used) and wheel wells (used medium size wheel woolies) and the green wheel cleaner was used for barrels (turbo stick), lug brush for lugs/wheels, and green wheel for rims \ used boar hair brush!

How dirty were the wheels and tires? Were you using a foaming sprayer?

The entire bottle of GWC seems excessive, but APC seems about right if they were pretty dirty.

the wheels were filthy... On chrome should I be using the deep wheel cleaner instead?

Had some time after work today so I decided to clean my wheels, tires, barrels, and perform a two bucket wash, this way I could put the car back in the garage so I can clay bar & start using the flex! (Sometime in the next few days that is)... Long story short I did the washing of the wheels exactly the same as Adam did in the volume 8 vid & boy did they turn out sweet... Only problem was somehow I went thru a 16oz bottle of green wheel cleaner, and 3\4 of the APC, anyone else in the same boat or em I just going over kill? HELP lol

Hey Eric, I woke this morning and wondered if you'd joined the forum, welcome dude. I'm Dave your coach.

Diluted SVRT. Mix it 50/50 with water in a spray bottle. Gives you a spray application for applying to the tires. Just spray it on, spread with the tire applicator, and wipe off the excess with a towel (I have some el-chepo MF's I bought at an auto parts store that I use for applications like this (they get washed with the utility towels and such)). The biggest thing to any SVRT application is to make sure that the surface is clean or the stuff doesn't last. I did a buddy's car yesterday and had to scrub the tires twice to get whatever dressing was on there before off and another pass to get them clean.

Sweet! Def gana try this out (:

It really depends on what I'm doing. Everything gets cleaned after each use. If I'm doing a full detail then I have a spare five gallon bucket that I dump 3 oz of APC into and 3/4 full of water. As I finish using items they'll go into the bucket until I get done. I usually try to make sure the water gets agitated once every 30 min or so. At the end everything gets cleaned as recommended by Adam's. I spot treat the MF with APC and agitate with my fingernail then usually mist the whole thing. After I've done that to all of them they go into the washer with 3 oz of MF Revitalizer. I have a new Samsung HE washer/dryer so they go in on the delicate cycle (low spin) with warm water wash and an extra rinse. Everything goes together except my single and double softs...they are washed by themselves. Everything is tumble dried on low heat which usually takes about one hour. I hand wash all the pads and applicators with Dawn except the ones I use for QS. My QS apps are soaked in the sink with 2 oz APC for a few hours or overnight (depending on when they go in). Everything gets thoroughly rinsed after. Adam's doesn't recommend it but I have a rack that goes inside my dryer for drying shoes so I'll put the in with all the pads applicator side up and run the dryer on low heat to dry them.

Have you made yourself any SVRT milk yet? It makes applying it to your tires worlds easier.

Lotta great info here! Thanks for the advice... I haven't tried to make any VRT milk, what's that?

Great job, & Write up! I love that truck (esp in white) Used to have a 2007 SRT8 Jeep, Went 12.6 w\ Bolt ons (;

Nice meeting you two! Welcome here and THANK YOU for your business!

 Thanks bud, & thank you for all the help! Lookin foward to posting on the forum & meeting new people \& progressing with my detailing skills!!!  

Hey Eric. Was nice meeting the two of you. Sounds like you'll be busy the next few weeks have fun and post some pics.

Busy is an understatement, was lucky enough to take these last few days off to come out here due to my work schedule but it was way worth the experience... Good luck with everything man!

Awesome man. That's a nice kit you got there, make sure to post pics of your vette when you get a chance! and WELCOME!

Thanks bro, I'll post a few pics up tomorrow when I get home from PA... Kinda hard from my Cell phone lol

Welcome! Where at in Jersey? I'm about 20 minutes outside of Philly. If you're in the area and ever need a hand with anything at anytime, let me know.

Thanks ill def take you up on that offer if need be, & we will have to meet up @ a show or something along those lines! I'm located in Wall NJ

Do yourself a favor and grab a gallon of the MF Revitalizer. The stuff does wonders.

Ahh I forgot too mention that I also picked up a giant bottle of that too!! (= (36oz I believe, thats all they had for me at the show, I'll have to grab more when I run out) What's your cleaning schedule w\ your Adams gear?
