May be a dumb question but are you guys also claying/polishing/sealing the door jams/trunk jams/hood jams? Also I just watched the youtube video on Adams clay mitt. He stated micro scratching is a possibility. Should I not be worried since I am polishing after the clay Mitt anyways?

That's right, I just watched one of the Adam's youtube videos and he used the detail spray on the pad to prime. I am leaning on the detail spray only because I am buying a gallon of it and it will save me from buying the waterless wash for now.

Awesome I will do this. Would the detail spray or waterless wash create a coat on the paint before I work on the polish/wax making it less effective?

Ray that was a great read! I am heavily leaning on the clay mitt but scared of marring as I never used a clay mitt before. I don't have an electric buffer to remove any marring I might cause with the mitt. I was thinking of clay mitt plus the detail spray and should be much quicker and hopefully not produce any marring. Then will be doing the revive hand polish and sealant after claying.

Thank you will read up!

Awesome thanks for the input. Would I need to rewash the Tahoe after claying?

Alright Rich duster is nixed! Lol Since I am storing inside garage would it be safe to just go to town on the polish/sealant on day 2? Also I was planning on buying the Adam's car shampoo to wash for step 1 but now I am thinking to use the Adams all purpose cleaner. Being a new vehicle I doubt there is anything to strip off the paint but maybe everything will adhere better if I use the APC verses the car shampoo?

Ok here is my plan let me know if ok to do. My wife works weekends so I have daddy duty with the 3 kids no time to spend 1 whole day doing the truck. Weekdays after work will have to do. 1st day - wash and clay truck. Park in garage 2nd day - polish/sealant I wonder if I should buy a duster to dust off before polish/sealant hmmmm. I'll have it in garage after 1st day though.

Looks amazing!!! I am reading reviews on Amazon on the Adam's iron remover spray. I am very concerned about some reviews of it leaving irreversible streaks on plastic trim/headlights. Think just doing the clay bar will be good enough instead of using the Iron remover beforehand?

Yo-yo appreciate all the help! After step 6 sealant I plan to do the h20 guard gloss is this ok or just a waste of time?

Awesome I will do this! I see on amazon the polish comes as a kit with 2 different polishes. For a brand new vehicle I wonder if I should do both polishes or to save time maybe just the finishing polish and move on the the sealant? Edit: just saw on amazon the hand polish I may just buy this one!

Ok I think I am leaning on that paint sealant you linked seems awesome. Now is this something I would apply after a clay session? Or I would still need to polish beforehand? The ceramics look very interesting as well! So many darn options lol.

Awesome will read up! It's been forever since I've done any true detailing work. Is the clay/polish/wax still applicable in this day and age? Lol

Good morning everyone. I just purchased a new 2019 pearl white Chevy Tahoe and want to get this thing fully detailed inside and out. I have researched and came to conclusion Adam's is the products I want to use. Heck, even the official Chevrolet website sells/recommends them so they must be awesome! My short intro---I use to work detail at a Ford dealership in my early 20s for a few years. Flash forward 15 years I know am married with a 6/5/2 year olds. Lets just say life is hectic right now! And time I will have to complete my exterior detail is limited. What I am looking for is the quickest but best way to clay and wax the exterior. I was leaning on Adams medium clay mitt but the waxes I am lost. I do want to clay, polish, and then seal the paint for sure. I don't think my budget includes an electric polisher so I may be stuck doing by hand unless there are a super budget friendly polisher on the market? Any recommendations please? Thank you all!
