Question: Is there an Adam's product that (II might already have) can provide stainless steel with long term protection from oxidation? I've been using a combination of CP, FP, and BG to take off oxidation and provide some shine/protection. Eventually I'll be adding the metal polishes to my arsenal; "priorities." Not sure if there is a better product to apply after a thorough cleaning to keep the stainless from oxidizing as quickly as it does.

How about a series that educates and entertains while taking a non-Adam's aware owner and their vehicle from the early stages of not knowing how to properly maintain the exterior of a car through all the stages of cleaning, polishing, sealing, protecting. For example,  your average Jane/John are not going to have all adam's products available to them on day one. Take us through the various stages from the early discovery stage of testing the waters (which products make the most sense to start with for example), all the way to full blown shine-freak, along the way highlighting the products that would be applicable for each stage/level of discovering your inner shine-freak. ??

1. Use a big pink or white eraser to remove dried wax from black plastic trim. 

2. Use a sample size bottle of detail spray to apply detail spray to the polishing pad when correcting paintwork. This uses less detail spray, gives a better mist, and uses less product

3. If you have accessibility to a car lift, be sure to raise the car up when polishing the lower portions of a car to save knee and back pain, if you don’t have a lift invest in a  cushioned matt to kneel on. 

4. Be sure to wash out your foam cannon after using strip wash.

5. Use the Adams sidekick to blow snow off your car. Much faster, safer and easier that using a brush/scraper 

6. Use tire and rubber cleaner to clean rubber wiper blades!!

7. Don’t use a foam cannon on a windy day, you will get foam on EVERYTHING! 

8. Remember to throw the polisher cord over your shoulder to prevent it from hitting the paint. 

9. Don’t use glass boost on the inside of your windows, do use brilliant glaze 

10. If you have leftover soap/water in your foam gun/cannon just spray it into your soap bucket 

 

Thank you for #10 and thank you for making me feel like a moron at the same time. 

I'm happy with how everything is turning out so far. 

Thanks everyone. I just sealed our windshields tonight and cleaned the inside of our windshield with the brilliant glaze approach. Will see how it turns out. I had also re-conditioned my headlights yesterday and I'm satisfied how they came out. 

Thank you for the warm welcome. 

Hello to all. New member here from ATL. I just realized I've been washing cars wrong all my life (head hung in shame). Hope to to learn a lot from everyone. I've had a few Adam's shipments arrive and I still have a few in-flight. I recently got my old beater '04 Escape cleaner than it has been in about 14 years and got the wife's new '18 Odyssey cleaner than it was when we left the lot with it. I did use the clay bar and glass cleaner to get the ring of adhesive off the inside of my windshield from an old iOttie Phone mount. I had scrubbed and scrubbed but no luck. I even used goo-gone and it didn't touch that crud. About 1 minute with the clay bar and the window was clean; amazed. Got a bottle of Brilliant glaze coming to clean it up properly.
