Do some looking, the MSRP on my Laramie was $60,300, after rebates and incentives I paid $44,700 + TTL for this one.  I don't know if I could spend $60k on a truck, even though it is arguably the nicest truck out currently.

Beautiful! 👍🏼👍🏼
 
My wife wants a Ram Laramie to replace her Durango R/T when it comes time.
 
$60k !😳🙄

I just did my 2019 Ram with CSC with a layer of CLW with amazing results.  I too had previously just used the CLW on my truck, but wanted a better foundation of protection for the winter up here in ND.

As far as I know the properties of the two are the same, just different application style as far as a paste vs a liquid wax.  I bet a jar of CPW lasts longer than a bottle of CLW, I probably used a third of my bottle doing my truck.

While I have converted two vehicles from Ceramic Paste Wax to Ceramic Spray Coating, I do not want anyone to think that I am not satisfied with CPW.  In fact, it was a very though decision to convert the two that have been done so far.  I believe CPW is one, if the not the best wax that I have ever used for classics and daily drivers.
 
As for the activity of the weekend.  While the wife and I originally planned on having her Terrain Denali professionally coated, after putting CSC on a couple of vehicles and seeing the outcome, we decided to do the Terrain.  Being the wife's vehicle, it was already in pristine condition and it is a garage queen.  After performing strip wash early this morning, and then started looking over the Terrain.  It was clean, but I decided that since I did not have the Swirl Killer when I originally polished it at the end of June when we got it, I decided to go with One Step Polish and brand new Orange Pads.
 
After doing the entire vehicle, it didn't have the luster that I wanted, so I pulled out the Finishing Polish and new Whilt Pads and went over the Terrain again and that gave it the look that I was after.   Then it was on the Surface Prep, followed by the CSC.  The entire vehicle was done with CSC from the roof, all the chrome, entire body and wheels. In case anyone has any doubt, the Denali has a ton of Chrome. 
 
Unfortunately, the rain came in late, so I didn't get to take any outdoor pictures, but I can assure the chrome will blind you.  In the second picture, you should be able to see my truck reflecting in the back of the mirror.  On Sunday, I'll do the interior and hit all the leather, dash and door panels with Leather Conditioner.

What a truck! I love the look of the new Rams!! 

Real nice, looks great!

Came out perfect!  That's a great color too.  Nice job!

Good looking truck. I love the way the back side of the mirrors came out.  

Sweet. I think you need to send that RAM down here to Florida and let me help keep it warm for you. It's way too cold in North Dakota. Ha Ha.
 
Thats a GREAT looking shiny truck. Like I told @stalebreadjr  on his Detailing Write-Ups thread labeled "Full Exterior Detail and Ceramic Spray Coating / RAM 1500", it being a RAM helped.
 

Dang skippy Sarge! 😁
 
Nice job Nate! We gotta keep these goats dazzling the public! Ur truck looks fantastic! 

Because this forum isn't for giving good advice brand-wise, it's for giving good advice with Adam's specific line of products.  I don't understand why the discussion about the merits of other products isn't allowed, as we all want the best results for our money but those are the rules to participate here.  Personally, I feel like there is a difference between promoting the sale of competing products and discussing them, but I suppose the discussion of others could lead to a potential sale for the competitor and not for Adam's if the discussion lead to a perceived better value.  A bit of a catch-22 I suppose.  Either way, one should never limit research to one source of information be it detailing or any other aspect of life.

I know this is an Adams forum, but Matt at Obsessed Garage has purchased hundreds of "budget" pressure washers and tested to see which ones were up to par, all his videos on this are on Youtube. I would definitely go electric, if you get the right one, it will do everything a gas one would. If I didnt have my Kranzle, I would most likely buy *****.
 
EDIT: Also another thing, PSI is not what really matters, its the GPM or Gallons Per Minute that is the big factor to figure out.

Could possibly be air in the line of the pressure washer too...try bleeding it by leaving the power of the washer off and hold down the trigger for a bit to make sure all the air is purged out of the line.

Got me all excited for nothing!

It was warm enough that it dried up very quickly.   And yes, it is a 1912 Race car that I have posted a few shots of on here.  One day the owner will let me do a full write up on it!
 
When I wash out car in the garage it only leaves the amount of water that you get if you pulled the car from from a drive in the rain. 

Unless there's something special with the Polaris plastics, you can polish plastic like paint. As always start least aggressive, and the same principles apply. I've seen others do riding mowers, etc. with a polisher  For the seats, consider LC and/or ID.

I asked Adam's this same question a while back, when it first came out. Most thought it would work fine, but I couldn't really get a consensus. They probably know more now, but in interest of time and my customer's wishes, I ended up just applying only the CPW and he was thrilled. I think the results speak for themselves...
 

 

 

 

I used interior detailer on mine for that reason, and it cleaned up pretty good. I suppose you could go over it with APC first and then ID?

I'll talk to Chris about it to see if the latest forum update may have caused the issue. Thanks!

Welcome Nate - Nice Truck
