WS6

^^^Awesome to hear and see, Craig! Those both look great.

I am curious, though...does the Patriot (which I've never used) really last 2+ months? I know mileage will vary, but for a vehicle outside all the time, especially a "darker" color (i.e., higher surface temps), is that normal? Just wondering if he/you really is/are still seeing the Patriot in action or now just the PS (which I love and use regularly).

Nope, clayed before applying Patriot. So that, and detail spray are only things that have been on or touched the paint. And it definitely lasts at least acouple months if prepped and applied correctly. But I am really amazed at the fact that there is never any dust hardly on it.

In what ways?  Longevity, beading, ease of removal, looks?

(I only care about the last one but am curious about all)

Longevity absolutely, been about 2 1/2 months. And Pinnacle dosnt last near that long.

Quick update: stuff about 2mos in, and stil great water beading. And one of most impressive things, is unlike most waxes it does NOT attract dust like most waxes. At all, my truck sits outside all the time. And there is never any dust on it. That's one thing I always liked better about sealants compared to wax, is wax always attracted more dust. So, so far I am extremely impressed w the Patriot wax!

Not the best pic. No sun out.

Pinnacle usually only lasted maybe a month. Ease of on and off I would say about same. But to me the shine is definitely better in the Patriot. And with the added silica in the Patriot, I would guess it will last longer.

This is all I have for now! Will get T/A later.

From my 18yrs of detailing, I have never in my eyes seen much difference between wipe on wipe off products until I started using Adam's 2yrs ago. From Meguiars, Zaino bros.,wolfgang, pinnacle ect. I couldn't never tell a big difference in my eyes between a new product.

Now from, buttery wax,paint sealant, Americana, h20 after wash,detail spray I can always tell a difference between them all. I have always preferred sealant. Lasts longer and dosnt attract as much dust as wax. But then sometimes put wax on top of sealant.

Anyway.... To my topic. Holy mother of wax. I applied the new Patriot to my Silverado and my Trans Am. Now all Adams products are on and off with ease. Including this. I have never seen such a difference in just a coat of wax. And what really did it for me is even after it is dirty now. From a distance or a look in the mirror it just looks better than it ever has. I havnt tried a ton of expensive waxes. Always kind of thought it was stupid IMO to pay more than $100 for wax. I had bought one before a few years ago for the same price. Pinnacle Souveran. And Patriot puts it to shame. Never tried the old Patriot. And everytime yall say something is new and improved. It is.... So Ithought I have to give it a try. And so glad I did. Will be very happy to use it everytime. ????????????????

Nice wheels

Find something you like... And use it often!

Overall rinseless is probably my favorite all around product... Has alot of uses and goes a long way.

I have never used it diluted for clay lube. But sounds like a great idea. And will try it when I do my pre winter detail. Now I have heard that rinseless has a small amount of wax in it. Now would that cause any bonding issues,if just laying down a sealant or wax afterwards?

Thanks Craig! I drooled at your WS6 & Chevelle!

 

I try and keep her clean. She is mainly stock except exhaust and intake and a couple small things.

Always was a Pontiac/Chevy guy. Miss my old Pontiac's and a couple Chevys I owned.

 

Same here... All I've had. My old man gave GM 40yrs. Got to stay true! Was a camaro guy before. Had a 01 SS then a 99 Z then a 02 ta now this.The Chevelle was my Dad's. He passed about a year and a half ago. Car was in the shop and he never got to see it again...

My 4dr family cruiser ..2009 Pontiac G8 GT Sport/Premium only 27k on her.

She only seen Adams products from the day I brought her home on the 4th of July 2009.

 

My daily Driver is not worth showing..lol! 97 civic ..the wife's old car.

 

Nice! Don't see many nice G8's around!

Nice vehicles WS6!

Thanks! I like your 69 there... Especially the color!

We see each others vehicles in some threads. Buts lets see pics of the main reason you are on here!

My daily driver 08 Silverado LTZ 70k never seen a garage.

2000 Trans Am W.S.6 56k

71 Chevelle SS (clone)

My boy...always wanting to help!

I would fill up my truck,and Trans Am... And take the remaining 400 or so and spend a Sat W my son and do or buy him pretty much whatever he wanted with it!

Thanks guys!

Thanks! And yes they are!

Didn't know where else to post this... But did a very long OVERDUE cleaning under the hood of my truck.

Used apc,various brushes,very light water. Dressed with in and out spray and VRT.

So.... Now that I'm a bachelor again. I have a spare room in the house. And I can do whatever I want lol!

So I turned a spare room into my office/car room/guy room. And since I don't have a garage, just a shed. I put a lot of my car stuff in here!

Well said!

Ordered some metal polish #1 and #2. And very excited to try out this week. Going to hit a few different areas on the truck and car. My concern is the step bars on my truck. They have plastic on them. And didn't know if polish would stain if I should tape them off? Thanks

Great right up....And nice garage!
