  1. So....basically it sounds like I need to have it resprayed? The hood might be save able doing the process you described but that might be because its barley noticeable. Nick
  2. Humm....I think your describing the thing that "lifts" as you go thru it and it drys. If so then no, this truck has never been thru one of those. Nick
  3. Ok so sorry for the "noob" question.....is there anything I can do about it?? Nick
  4. Truck is outside at all times, I don't have a garage. I regularly hand wash and run it thru auto washes and hand wax it once a year I assume the truck was re sprayed at some time by the previous owner due to damage on the vehicle and I can see over spray in some areas but I don't know what all was resprayed. This has happened with in the past 6 months....and is slowly getting worse. I noticed it starting on the back of the hood by the windshield as well.... Nick Nick
  5. Can anyone explain why this is happening? Nick
  6. Yes it needs both badly.....neither have been done in the two years I've owned it. Yes the first pic is the before pic. And yes my paint has tons of "swirls/spiderwebs" . The swirls I was referring to in my post was the "hase" that was left by the Rinseless wash, which buffed out with another dry rag. Nick
  7. I was wondering what the actual difference would be between a 5gal bucket and my little 1gal....other than the obvious 4gals of water. Nick
  8. I agree, I think my truck was right on the edge of the limits of this product, while my truck looks good after using this product I still feel like I have a lot of questions about when where and how to use it properly...... Nick
  9. Well my truck really needed to be wash and with the storm completely surrounding my area today I didn't want to do a complete wash so I figured it was a great chance to try the Rinseless wash. It was cold and windy so I only took a few pics. Now I'm not a 100% on board with this product but there are a lot of factors that determine that. 1st off this and the "silver towels" I won on Instagram are the only Adams products I own and have ever owned. I watched the videos and "how-to's" so I have a good idea of how the product works. This time I used my standard 1gallon wash bucket that I've had forever now and filled it with water out of the faucet and then put some of the Rinseless wash in the bucket (no real measurement just poured some in) then put one of the silver towels in the bucket to soak. I didn't prerinse the truck even though I probably should have. But I just used the one towel to wipe down the truck and three others to dry it as I went. While I liked this process because owning a black truck and not getting water spots is next to impossible this was a nice change. I did not use this system on the tires and wheels or wheel wells because I wasn't sure if I could or not. Now I know I didn't use this product correctly at all but I think I needed more drying towels because it kind of left swirls after drying that I had to go back over and hand buff back out. I think with some more time (and a less dirty truck) this might be a great product for in between wash product, or as a wash for my rock crawler when I pull it out of the garage. Now I just need to figure out my new polisher and see about fixing the paint on this thing! Nick
  10. Beat me to it, I was going to look up the specs and post it to see how it compared. So if I'm reading your post right I'm fine using the body of the machine but get a 5" backer instead of the provided 7" backer? Nick
  11. Can you please elaborate as to why the HF polishers aren't good? The PC ones start at $100 the HF one after coupon was $40....not really the same price point in my mind, I can get the other one for $50 which is why I asked about them.... Nick
  12. Thanks guys, I've been meaning to make it up there but every time it seems we have plans to go up something else happens. I was going to go to the last clinic but we got a huge snow storm and didn't really feel like driving my 2wd truck up there. I really need a nice weekend so I can have the truck clean and go up there so they can help me evaluate it. Nick
  13. I'm in the Springs too! And a noob. Nick
  14. Thanks guys, I'm in Colorado Springs. I've watched a ton of the videos which is why I say I need to step up my game. I spend 99% of that time washing and drying and then going back over it to get all the stupid water spots off of my truck.... Look forward to learning a ton from this forum! Nick
  15. So I'm new here and am somewhat of a noob to the detailing world. I always try and keep my vehicles looking good, but about two years ago I bought a black Silverado and it needs lots of help! Even after spending all day washing and waxing it, it still only looks ok. So for Christmas I got a Harbor Freight 7" Variable Speed polisher/sander item #60626 and I was wondering if this was ok to use on my truck or if I should go trade it in for the 6 In. Variable Speed Dual Action Polisher Item#69924........??? I know harbor freight is not the best but I'm on a super low budget and don't want to dump a ton of money into something that A) I don't know about and B.) might use only once or twice. I know I need to step up my washing game after browsing around here a bit but that will come with some time and trial and stepping up some of my products. Nick
