    Wow that looks great! I'm on the PS and H2O G&G route for now on my cars but will move to ceramic at the end of the summer. 

    I haven't use PS but I am a big fan of HGG .  I use it on the wifes Jeep and its always a product I use when friends ask for "help" washing a vehicle :D.  I have recommended Wash and Wax and HGG to 2 of my friends and those 2 products alone made them believers in the Adams brand.   Soon they will feel the addiction.... lol

    First off truck looks amazing. 👍

     

    Just a quick question. With that step stool were you able to reach the center of the roof, windshield, and back glass? I have to stand in the door of my Ram to get to them and really hate it. I can’t get in my bed either as I have a tonneau cover and can’t even reach the center of it against the cab. Just curious seeing as you have one what your experience was with it. 

    Derrick, sorry I didn't get a notification you tagged me in a comment and have been absent from the forum for a bit.  Yes, I am about 5'8" and I could reach the middle of the truck and all the back glass and windshield.  I did a good bit of research before buying the adams ladder and I can say it was a great investment.  The biggest part is the stability you have while on the ladder to control what you are doing.  I would recommend it for sure.  I use to have to step up on the bed rails or use a simple step ladder (very unstable) to reach all the part of the truck.  No more!! :D

    Damn good work my man. This write up is unreal and im not sure what took longer the vehicle or the write up lol. But killer job on everything. As others have said wait till you get your hands on a polisher. I cant imagine how worked your arms were after using Revive lol. The polishers are just so great and easy to use. I have the 15mm, 12mm mini, and Micro. All 3 aren't needed but always great to have. Since your truck looks to me like its in great shape clear coat wise , if you do get a polisher it would be advisable to get either a pen light or some type of correction light to get close up on the paint if your picky to check for marring and swirls. Last year i used the new One Step Polish to clear up some marring and swirls on my bright white jeep and i will say it did a great job and removing almost all my marks and finishes well imo. After that i did what you did with prepping and using the ceramic spray. The ceramic spray didnt quite last thru the winter but i will be redoing it again soon and once i have a garage accessible will go to a true ceramic coat. Again great job and i know there will be a lot of people that can use this incredible write for first time detailing!

    Thanks @Wk2Altitude15 !  The write up did take a while but I can say I enjoyed it.  I also think participation is so key on a forum like this.  I have learned so much in a short time reading the write-ups of others and wanted to keep that culture going!  LOL I did get a good workout hand polishing, but I learned a good bit from doing that and could control what I was doing and that was my goal.  I'll take ur advice on the light, I actually have been looking at adding a good stand alone light for detailing anyways.  I can say that my CSC is still going strong.  Now, I do keep my truck in the garage and it is not a daily driver so take that as it is.

    What Did You Wash, Shine, and or Polish Today

    Took advantage of the warm Georgia weather and washed the goat.  I gotta brag on a couple things..... first off, ceramic spray coating holding up strong. Foaming soak of wash+coat, power rinse, 80% of the dirt and grime gone! Loving it! Second foam and wipe down got it spotless.  

     

    Secondly, freaking tire armor! I literally just soaked the tires for a few minutes with TRC and then power rinsed.... spotless and shiny! 

     

    Ceramic boosted, shiny! 

     

    I mean, I'm no professional and I'm sure i can improve my coating techniques and shining techniques (which is why I learn from you guys on the daily) but if it's this easy for this dummy.... everyone should at least try it!

    I have tried to soak it twice it won't unclogg, someone else posted to disassemble it, any idea how to pull that thing apart?

    Adams sells a couple different cannons I believe.  YouTube has a bunch of videos on repairs and cleaning tips.  There are several methods but for the most part are all very similar.

     

    Here is one for the PF-22 -

    Thanks Chris!  And, I'm 100% with you about the wooden sign....

     

    Thanks for the updated pics but I don't think mine was received before the 17th.  So I'll keep an eye out on your next update.  Did HQ get a good bit of christmas cards/stickers from the forum?
