I'd give Severe Swirl and Haze a 5 and go down in cut from there.....anyone who has tried a product with any real cut will recognize that none of the current Adams stuff rates......

I love the car....well the front 2/3 of it anyway.....just can't get used to the back end I had a 1996 Z28 and loved it....too bad they shrunk the interior down so that I can't even sit in one.

Get the Flex....I have the PC and regret not getting the Flex to start with. Your car is black just like mine and you'll regret getting the PC.....

I hope this is a joke........

Yep...oil is part of it. If the truck has MDS then you have to run 5W20 in it.....thin as vegetable oil.....my car has a 6 spd manual so we upped it to 5W30....reduced the noise some, but it is still obnoxious....I had no idea about the potential problem and really wish someone would have told me....hope you love your truck....just trying to give you the warning/heads up I wish someone would have given me.

Don't know if you're aware of it or not but a good portion of the HEMI engines tick like crazy. My Challenger sounds like a sewing machine and it's driving me bonkers!!! Take a nice long test drive in your new truck when it comes in to see if it has the problem......there's no known fix for it and the dealers will try to tell you it is normal. If I'd known about the problem and wasn't extremely stoked to be getting the new car I would have waited and found another with a quieter engine. Hope yours is OK!!!

There is absolutely no way that I would pay new price for a vehicle that's had body/paint work done on it. Find another truck, give them the option if you wish, or find another dealer. Do not accept that truck.

I use it on my RV all the time...works great at removing mold and that black gunky stuff that always seems to accumulate on the sides of it. No drawbacks that I can see and it's made washing my RV much easier....I spay it one...agitate with the boars hairs brush, and then hose it off....no pressure washer required.

I have no idea what the new, standard mirrors cost but I went the opposite direction on my 2003 Ram 1500.....very easy to swap out yourself if you can get a good enough deal on the truck. Pop off the door panels and they're only held on with 3 nuts...the studs are made into the mirror itself...plug in the wiring harness and reinstall....less than an hours worth of work and you have the mirrors that you like

I believe that they've renamed it the Danica 500 for this year going forward.....

I just love it when things are stated as absolutes......everyone lives by their own set of "truths" it seems and here are some of mine: 1. The PC is the recommended tool for beginners, which I was. 1a. I feel that people are misled into believing that the PC can accomplish more than reality shows with Adams abrasives in a timely manor. 2. It, the PC, is inadequate to correct more than minor swirls in a timely fashion when using Adams abrasives. Yes it can probably be done...not arguing that point at all, but I need to detail my vehicles in a weekend and not a month. 3. The flex is a wonderful tool, I assume, and is capable of much better/faster correction due to it's forced rotation. Had I been steered this way I would have probably purchased one. 4. The PC can correct any defect that a flex can given the right combination of products in nearly the same amount of time that the PC/Adams combination can. 5. Care car includes correcting more severe swirls/scratches if your car isn't a garage queen. I buy my vehicles to drive, not look at and play with, and whether I like it or not such damage occurs.

He's not alone. I found that the swirls on my wife's suburban laughed at Severe Swirl and Haze remover/Green pad/PC......I switched to another well known combination and had the whole truck knocked out in a weekend. I honestly haven't taken the Adams stuff out of the cabinet since. The flex might be the cats meow, but the PC was recommended for a beginner, which I am, so that's what I bought...turns out it was a bad choice so I adapted and got the job done. It's been hinted that there are other products in the works that will blow this well known combo away.....show us and prove it please. I really like most of the stuff I purchased, but no pun intended...the abrasives just don't cut it.

You definitely made the right choice going with the flex. In my experience the PC7424XP and Adams abrasives will take a long, long time to remove anything deeper than minor swirls.

Doesn't work for Adams anymore you mean. Adam stated in another post that he paid the junkman to make videos for the company.....which ones and how many of his Adams videos I don't know....guess it's none of our business.

I've ran 33's (28570R17) on my 2006 2500 4x4 since new and they don't rub anywhere...not even close really. Don't think that they've changed the main build of the truck since then, only the cosmetics so you should be fine. Nice color choice too......mine is the same, but doesn't have the nice fender flares that yours does.

My green one disintegrated the first time that I used it. Contacted Lynn on the live chat and was informed that it was user error....the other pads didn't have a problem. I just considered it a lesson learned and moved on.

Thanks for the help everyone. I added the zip ties to both my grit guards and that seems to have been a big help. I'm still getting some dirt particles clinging to the smaller pad that I use for the lower portion of the car/truck but it is manageable. The large pad, once I got it clean, stayed that way for the entire vehicle.

Please let me know if you're able to do this....I know another PC that will be on a nice ride back to the Adams plant......I was one of the ones that PM'ed you to try something more aggressive since I had a similar experience with the PC and SSHR....the swirls/scratches on my wifes Burgandy Suburban just laughed at it!! I switched over to Mequiars 105/205 and with a single section pass of each I was able to achieve a near flawless finish and this is on a 2006 model that is a daily driver. So either Adams products require the Flex or a lot more patience and time than I have to achieve the results I was after.

No, I didn't. This is during the wash process....I seem to run out of hands!! The grit guards spin around in the bottom of the bucket so I have to hold it with one hand and try to scrub the wash mitts against the guard with the other....when I pull them out of the rinse water there is still pieces of dirt trapped in the fibers. They come clean when I scrub them after I'm finished washing the car/truck.

I recently purchased both the large and small wash mitts and even after scrubbing the face of them on the grit guards in the clean water bucket I'm finding that I have to hand pick little pieces of dirt, grit, junk from them both. This can't be good for my paint!! Any one else out there seeing this problem? Thanks for any help

It looks really nice. My 2011 is also black and is an orange peeled mess Worst paint job I've ever had on a vehicle and Dodge says, "Oh well". I'm still debating whether or not to have another coat or 2 of clear shot on it so I can level it all out.

and they have the 392 not the 6.1 L engine.

I'll glob on another coat today and see what happens. The tires held up fine but all the other trim/door handles dried into a mess....hope this works. Thanks

I saw similar results on my truck this morning......until it dried. Now it looks like crap!!! Streaky mess actually. Will reapplying fix it?

watch the videos and just get the Flex. The first time I tried the PC on my wife's suburban the swirls and scratches just laughed at it....had to go to a much more aggressive product to get any results at all. If you plan on using Adams polishes and don't have an eternity to finish up a project that has hard clear coat just get the Flex now and save yourself the wasted money of having to upgrade later on.
