Hope to join you on a future trip up I-25, Steve!

Thanks, Michael and Joel. For now, I only have one GWT and a leaf blower (no Sidekick...yet), but I'll try this next wash.

Basic question, but do you sheet rinse the entire car at once, or section by section?

Welcome, "officially," Joe.

A 16oz bottle is more than enough for my 3 daily drivers to last a year. I usually only need it in spring and fall, when I reapply my LPS.

Would not have guessed this, but great to know. I'm already on my second bottle after a few months, so probably using too much. I'll apply LPS next detail and save some money...for the next MB sale (just bought multiple). Ha.

Welcome to the forums, Mike!

Welcome to the forums, Bryan! Nice ride.

Welcome, Mike! I'll admit I'm pretty new to Adam's and have some favorite products already (e.g., Tire & Rubber Cleaner, Wheel Cleaner, VRT) but I can't really make suggestions just yet on how best to start...lots more experienced people out there. You're in the right place, though. Good luck!

Welcome, Matt!

Welcome to the addiction, Greg! You might as well just book the extra time now to detail your wife's Avalanche. Once you see the results on your Camaro, you'll both be hooked.

Does Goo Gone, WD-40, etc, remove the LPS and other Adam's products? Wondering how much I'll need to touch up, if any.

Thanks in advance.

The typical regiment most people follow is Strip Wash, Clay, Polish, (I like to strip wash again to remove polishing oils), then seal with LPS. After it cures, top with HGG or wax.

Good catch, Dustin. That's what I did, too, except I did an alcohol (50/50 with water) wipe down after the polish vs strip wash, and didn t use the HGG/wax, which I didn't have or want to use. Following this, Jonny, you won't be disappointed. Don't forget your wheels (Wheel Cleaner) or tires (Tire & Rubber Cleaner). Good luck!

Thanks for the heads up, Kraterer. So far I've only tried Goo Gone, and even APC. Hopefully I haven't stripped all my hard work...well, the PC buffer's hard work!

Given your stated parameters (i.e., daily driver, not a show car, freshen up only, white paint), I'd skip the BG and wax.

 

You'll get better "bang for your buck" by going with Liquid Paint Sealant after you correct/polish the paint. BG provides an outstanding shine, but offers no protection. Wax provides a great shine with limited protection. Liquid Paint Sealant provides a good shine with great protection. If you're set on BG and/or wax, layer it on top of Liquid Paint Sealant for the best of both worlds.

Ditto! I was just typing the same thing but mistakenly closed the window. I followed this regiment (ironically on Norton's suggestion) on my son's daily driver with beautiful results. Since his was the experiment (I'm new to Adam's), time to do the same on mine.

Welcome, fellow newbie...and Coloradoan. May see you at a future demo.

Welcome, fellow newbie! Beautiful car.

7 orders...Wow. Did you need to move into a smaller place to offset the investment?!

Welcome, Ryan. Maybe we should start a support group?
