tire and rubber cleaner is becoming one of my favorite products, leaves the tires so clean you could skip dressing them.
 

Nice truck and nice choice of polisher. I just picked up the Rupes 15 mkii and love it... my tip, from having a black car, is to touch the paint as minimal as possible in the wash and drying process and always keep checking your towels and wash pads for dirt etc. that could marr the paint.

Sweet. I will do this the next time around... just did the BG and Americana this weekend.

the borderless gray/orange is probably my favorite towel and can be used for so many things. Rinseless, H2OGG, drying wheels, detail spray, and wax/sealant buffing. I have a set of them that are just used for H20GG, and it is important to wash them by hand imo to not cross contaminate the other towels with H2OGG as it will make the towels repel water. 
 
Single softs I like for Wax and Liquid Paint Sealant Removal, as well as detail spray.
 
Double softs I reserve for Brilliant Glaze
 
Triple soft I have yet to use other than to feel the plushness against my face lol.
 
Waterless wash waffle weave towel is great for glass aside from it's intended use.
 
Grey utility is good for door jambs that need a bit more scrub, interior use for grimey areas, plastic trim to knock down VRT, and drying the engine bay.
 
I don't have the Blue Plush Waffle, but looks like it could be good for wheels and door jams where you are looking to be a bit more gentle than the Grey Utility towel.
 
Really the best way to find out what towels you need is to get a wash process down that works for you and integrate the towels where needed. 
 
I'm sure some people use a few of every towel when washing and others probably only use 1 or 2 different types of towels. 

Yes they stain the towels, and IMO G&G towels need to be washed separately (ideally by hand). When you go to use the drying towel to dry the car without G&G it will not want to absorb the water.
 
You could use the sidekick to blow out the nooks and crannies of the car but ideally you want to leave the car wet and won't want to reapply water for the wet method. Plus the time used for the sidekick will only allow water to dry on the paint. 

try a waterless wash waffle weave towel for glass. Waffle weave has worked great for me when the glass towels are too grabby.

Last night during sunset, this is why I love living in Socal! ????

The glaze you can buff away once it hazes up, and you can apply the next product right away for the most part. I normally give it 20-30 minutes anyways as it makes me stare at the paint for a while. 
 
The Paint Sealant can be buffed away once hazed up completely, about 5-10 minutes,  and then can be topped 1 hour later with another layer or another product.

Good work

Look good!

Looks great!!

Looks flawless, such depth.

Well done, that's some serious shine!

Debadged my car and after polishing I decided on a 3 step Adam's shine and protection with Glaze, then Liquid Paint Sealant, and Americana wax to top it off. Applying the Glaze first in my opinion looks best and the difference in durability I don't notice.

just a heads up, selling chemical products is not allowed on the forum

didn't know about it, now that i do I'll definitely be stopping in there.

Don't get sucked into the pencil hardness evaluation of coatings, its a red herring. Its a topic thats far more in depth than what I'm going to get into here, but the long and short is the "9H" claim thrown around by so many products is effectively useless as its not validated and honestly has very little real world benefit due to the low amount of film buildup by most products.

So after 30 years of sitting in the garage, we took the mustang to a local car show and got a  club members choice award so hats off to Adam's for keeping it shiny! Even with a passing shower we kept it pretty and turned a few heads!
