You might have to do another (or a couple more) applications of SHR.

I agree with Shane. It took me some time and several passes with the PC. I used the SHR with the ORANGE pad not the yellow pad. I spent 12 hours doing my whole daily driver. You will find below a link to the post with my before (waterspots) and after (no waterspots).

The car could have 120,000 miles on those plugs and wires, either way they look good (hard to tell sometimes about color with a picture than seeing them in person).

I always put a dab of anti-seize on my plugs threads and then use di-electric grease on the connections.

I do the same thing and have never had any problems with removing the plugs or plug wires. Especially if you ever have to remove them again.

Rich, I am glad that I am not the only one that has to wipe/spread after spraying. Thanks for the tip on what you use.

I discovered today that you can use them to smooth out the Undercarriage Spray if it does not look good. So mine will be used with my Undercarriage Spray.

I took this picture yesterday afternoon standing on my patio. I think we will have peak color this week.

Hi Everett, and thanks for the great photo! I love it when an issue is raised, including a nice clear photo of the finish in question. (Looks like a Dodge truck wheel well, am I correct?)

You are correct Adam. Now want to guess what it is 1500, 2500, or 3500?

So, different plastics hold the Invisible Undercarriage Spray in different ways. This is easily fixed, and a quick swipe with a tire sponge, or detail sponge and a little VRT will make the finish even and perfect.

 

Let us know how that works out, and an, "after" photo would be fantastic!

Adam, I appreciate your help. Here is the after photo. I used one of the packing/shipping sponges that was in my order, since it is a wheel liner. The US that was sprayed on painted parts did perfect. I did not have any VRT or the sponges you said to use. This was a quick fix until I order those.

This is what my liners look like after I sprayed the second time. I waited until it dried over 8 hours before respraying. So should I wipe them after I spray since they look like this? I sprayed them very lightly (did not use much UC spray on them). I used the mist instead of stream spray.

I just used the Undercarriage Spray tonight on my wheel liners. I started by cleaning the liners with APC full strength. In the past I have used different products and it did not get them as clean as I wanted the liners. You can actually see and feel how clean they are. The US made the liners turn back to their original black instead of a gray color.

It does smell like grape cool aid. You can still smell it in the garage some now.

That is good that things are going much better for you now.

It has been raining here most of the day. I have not been about to get out and wash my truck.

Adam's Detailing Products (very expensive habit) and then I collect 1/64 die cast farm equipment. I still enjoy going into the John Deere dealership and heading to the toy section to see if they have anything new.

Then I throw them all in the dryer together, too. Never been a problem.

Remember not to turn the heat up too HIGH on the microfiber.

If you got really nice rims I would get some winter/rims tires. You can get pretty cheap take off 17's with some snow tires for not too much money.

Shane has a good point. If you can get a cheap set for the winter then you do not have to worry about the salt as much on your rims. I know several people that have two sets for their trucks.

I think your best defense would be just keeping the rims clean. I have never had a rim problem due to salt (yet) but I always wash my vehicle a few days after each snow (but we only get a couple snows here during the winter months). If you are concerned about your suspension, just make sure its protected with paint.

That might just work. Isn't that blue just supposed to come off with water? Pretty strange.

It has always came off in the past with water (I usually use soap with the water).

Any luck?

No Luck. I have used everything I could think of in my garage.

I can not try what Shane said, the Simple Green Motorsports (Since I do not any of that, have to wait until I go to work and stop and get some).

SOS pads...

Opps forgot that in my list above. Thanks anyway for the tip (I have used that before also).

I am trying to get this done before it gets dark outside.

I could not find a post about this but I may have been using the wrong search words. Today, I was washing the tires to get the blue chemical removed from the tire (what is on new tires during shipping).

I have tried the following without any luck: Adam's Car Shampoo, Adam's All Purpose Cleaner, Simple Green, and Grease Lightening. Also, I used a very stiff brush.

Always in the past just soap and water brings the blue color off the tires.

So

I can post a pic of them when I get home after work. I too received them.

I would hate to not have a garage!

Shane, I agree with you.

Very nice job with the garage floor.

How long ago did you put the superwax on? I'm going to put a few coats on my DD sometime next week

 

No Rich, I won't post the snow picture again

Gerry it has been on three weeks and four days.

Opinions needed on this. I currently have two coats of Machine Super Wax (MSW) on my Daily Driver right now (car). What do you guys recommend to do for the winter? Give the car a coat of the Buttery Wax (BW) and then Americana Wax (Americana). The winters here are not too bad (temperature and snow wise). (December 08 - March 09 I only drove to work and back home in the snow three times).

The weather is not going to be too nice outside tomorrow (rain) and will have plenty of time to work on my car and time allows will do some detailing on my truck.

You may have a long wait. My oldest didn't move out till he was 30!!

It is fun living at home, why do I need to move out.

Am I the only one around here that CAN'T wait for snow? I think after OCT 1st it should snow until April 1

Snow hurts business.....so I prefer warmer weather.

I get my PC in about an hour (can you tell I am killing time untill it arrives? lol)

It looks like another satisfied first time Adam's customer.

Remember that Detail Spray is your best friend. Helps keep the dust down, some here have had a slight dust problem.
