My girlfriend just got a new 2010 jetta..black on black everything. Ive had my share of black trucks so I know how hard it is to keep clean. None the less, she is not as clean as I am . How do I keep that new car sent as long as I can and keep the car lookin new besides a weekly cleaning. Any suggestions. ?

What kind of wax is good to use on an big rig? I know there is a special kind of acid wash they get, but is there any difference then washing it with some adams car shampoo and some fine machine wax and polish..something that is good on chrome and aluminum too.? Thanks for any suggestions

Lets start from the beginning. I noticed in some of the other posts you mentioned that you used an off the shelf wax. I suggest that if you are serious about detailing get on the Adams site and order the proper products to do the job. If you can afford it get a complete kit. The Adams Duel Action kit will do what you want. You mention that you have not really waxed with a buffer before. You need a Porta Cable buffer (part of the kit) as it will not harm/burn the paint. If you are not a professional, never try a high speed buffer. ffice:office" /><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o:p></o:p>

Step one is a good bath for the car/truck followed by clay. Next an application of Swirl & Haze Remover, followed by the Fine Machine Polish and finished with a coat of the Super Machine Wax. <o:p></o:p>

If you watch the video's as suggested you can get the results you want. <o:p></o:p>

If you can not go with the complete kit, then I suggest that you purchase the Swirl & Haze Remover, Revive Polish and the Buttery Wax. All of these products will work great by hand. You will have to work harder with these verses the items in the kit, because the kit has the pc buffer. I started with the hand application products only because when I was first made aware of the Adams products that was all he offered. <o:p></o:p>

Anything you buy, whichever way you go, you won't go wrong. All of Adam's products are top notch and he and his staff are the best.<o:p></o:p>

Ok..that clears things up..thank you..but my other buddy has a black truck as well..and im detailing it to..but I think this truck has never seen a clay bar or wax since the day he bought it..would the revive polish work best on it?

It will take the full day to do..is there any time I should wait before applying different things..like SHR, MP, and MW..?

Ok..heres a stupid question..if I use the swirl and haze remover then polish then wax..wont that just leave more swirls i have to go back and try and get out.?

No it was some off of the shelf wax..

Ive had some bad experiences with hand waxing but ive never really done any waxing with a buffer. Ive waxed my truck before and looked good, but then i would try and wipe the wax off and there would be streaks I couldnt get out or come time for the next wash you could see all the swirls. What am I doing wrong, i tend to overuse and wipe it off usually less than 5 mins applying the wax..whats the appropriate "haze" setting before you can wipe it off? Im fixin to detail my buddys truck, a black f350 4door long bed, everything blacked out. Should I use the buffer or hand waz..and what kind? thanks for any input.

Im new to this site..heard about Adams on another forum. Seems like good stuff so Im fixin to order some to see for myself. I do a little detailing on the side. But got a question about the swirl & haze remover..the polish and the wax..which do I apply first? Im planning on using the fine machine series. Do I apply the swirl remover then polish then wax or how does it work?

Thanks.
