    JJ Stin reacted to davered00ss in Iron Remover then Clay?   
    I just did it on the GF's white jeep.  Process I did was:
     
    Iron Remover
    Wash- foam Gun & scrub down
    clay Mitt- with wash bucket & soap
    Clay bar
    Maguire's Cleaner wax with buffer- jeep doesn't get a lot of attention.
     
    I wanted a test vehicle before I tried my Black Truck or son's Black Sand Pearl Scion TC.  Iron spots are very visible on white car.

    It won’t hurt the windows at all if you get it on them, but I tried to keep it on just the paint. And you’ll love the Adam’s clay bar so much better. The geo-impression tool makes it so much easier to hold on to.

    Just used it on my black truck a few weeks ago. It is awesome stuff. Just let it sit for a few minutes then rinse it off. You’ll still need to clay afterwards, but you’ll notice that claying the truck is much easier.

    JJ Stin reacted to Hamilton Detail in Tire and Rubber cleaner   
    I usually only use the Tire and Rubber Cleaner when my tires are absolutely filthy.  For normal maintenance washes, the tire brush and the car shampoo is usually enough to get the job done.

    Yea the buttery is great stuff and I like the results. But it really does not last long which I doubt anyone will argue.  So unless you want to wax for therapy (as Adam says in the video) then you might want something different.
     
    I personally would liquid paint sealant the thing and then add a coat of wax on top it it was mine. Preferably Americana based on his use.

    Nah kidding, nice turn out with simply the car shampoo, imagine what it would look like with a hint of H2O.
     
    Good thing with this color is swirls are very hard to see in a day to day setting

    JJ Stin reacted to Milt IV in my first wash with my new products   
    I just recently made the switch to Adams and last night I got to put most of my new goodies to the test. To say I am impressed is an understatement. Everything worked great, looks great, and was super easy to use. 
     
    Here are a couple of things that really stood out to me:
    Sidekick - man that thing can move some air! Great for interior cleaning and exterior drying. 
    Detail spray - great shine when used while drying, smells nice too.
    Glass cleaner and glass towels - my windows have never been so clean!
    Great White drying towel - After blowing off the excess water with the sidekick I was able to dry the entire                                              truck with just one Great White.
    Tire shine - tires are high gloss black and there is no spin off down the side of the truck!
    Wheel Woolie - made cleaning the wheels a breeze in conjunction with the wheel cleaner. 
     
    Everything I used last night was great, the above mentioned items were just some of the ones that stood out to me. I think Adams just landed a new customer for life. 
     
    Here is a pic of it from this morning. Cleanest it's ever been.

    JJ Stin reacted to marquez93 in Detailing my Daily Driver, new to me as well   
    Use waterless wash or rinseless wash when doing your wipedowns. Detail spray you can use as often as you like, but the other 2 products are safer when it's dirty. HGG is only necessary to use every few weeks because it's actually a sealant and stays on the paint. Using it every few days is not necessary.
     
    If it were me, I would do rinseless wash for all of my in-between cleaning and you can finish up with detail spray if you like.
     
    And then on normal washes, use HGG every few weeks when you are drying and use detail spray as a drying aid every other time.

    JJ Stin reacted to TheWolf in Adamized the Raptor   
    Since someone on this forum recently suggested that I needed to improve a bit, I fast-tracked the R&D on the latest addition to my cleaning equipment.
     
    I have an underbody lance for my pressure washer that worked pretty good for getting the mud off the underside of the truck, but it was a little awkward to use without banging it into the ground or the bottom of the truck, or dragging it along the driveway.  I thought some casters on it would be useful, and found this furniture dolly at the hardware store.  I bolted a Quick Fist clamp onto it to attach it to the lance.
     

     
    Now, I can sit on my stool and run this under the truck with ease.  It even propels itself back and forth by just twisting the wand to vary the direction of the stream.
     

     

     
    The Quick Fist clamp makes removal easy, so I can use just the curved lance without the casters to get the wheel wells, suspension components, and the backs of the wheels and tires.

    JJ Stin reacted in Great White Drying Towel Causing Swirls   
    If your towels are completely dry after the 40 minutes in the dryer, even on lower heat settings, it's not good for them. Microfiber is very small, and can be damaged from heat easily.
    ,
    Put an ounce of distilled white vinegar in your next wash during the rinse cycle. This should help soften them. Only run them in the dryer for 10-15 minutes, lowest heat setting, they should still be lightly damp, allow them to air dry in an area free of dust/dirt.
     
    EDIT- I'd also recommend if your not currently doing it, a pooling rinse after rinsing your soap off the car, this will remove much of the water that is on the car, making drying quicker, easier and safer.
     
    Microfiber absorbs best when it's slightly damp, you can also give the towel a shot of detail spray, or distilled water. 
    I usually spray 1/2 of the towel, then fold it together like a sandwich to get it very lightly damp.

    Use a lubricant while drying. Adam's Detail Spray works wonderfully for this!
     
    I used to dry using a fresh towel and nothing else. And no matter what I used, I found tiny swirls afterwards (my clearcoat is very soft). I corrected and polished and, taking advice from these forums, started using Detail Spray as a drying towel lubricant. Just spray on while the car is wet and dry normally. Not a single swirl since, using the same GW towels that previously swirled my paint.

    Yes, it works fine on TV, computer, and phone screens.  Spray it on MF towel, wipe the screen, and if needed, wipe again with a dry section of the towel.  I have a travel size bottle at my desk and clean stuff, sometimes just to get the DS smell!

    If you use the Leather CLEANER, be sure to treat the surfaces afterward with the Leather Conditioner to prevent drying out.

    I'm trying to lay off the mod bug, it's hit me hard in the past. That's pretty much the reason I got the Denali.
     
    I'm planning on leveling the front rake of the truck this Spring, then contemplating an exhaust, but not wanting to spend the $1250 for the Borla or Corsa. We'll see. The HID mod will take place in Spring too. Maybe some AMP steps as well, if I can find a good deal.
     
    Don't have any issues with my radio at all. I had 1 small issue with voice navigation not working back in July, but it hasn't happened since.

    Without knowing what your cash flow reality looks like its hard to make any serious recommendations.
     
    Its always nice to get away from having any payments, but if your cash flow reality is tight and high/unexpected expenses (like major auto repairs and ongoing maintenance) sometimes being able to finance a vehicle that will have a warranty that covers most anything can be the better way to go. Just depends on your finances and how you're budget is setup currently.
     
    Do whatever makes the most financial sense for you.
