It was raining the day I bought it...and the next weekend as well. But you better believe I busted-out the Adams gear and washed it asap.

After a long leave, I'm back into caring for my vehicles the right way. It feels good to be back! I just bought a 2015 F150 and I'm pampering it like if it was a Lambo. One thing I want to do is get the window pillars (and maybe the front bumper too) wrapped in vinyl (matte black). If anyone has recommendations for where to get this done in the Houston are, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks...

Can this towel be used with the WCW???

I dont have any of the WCW specific towels. Are the regular blue MF towels safe to use with the WCW? The surface isnt 'dirty', just dusty...oh, and it was waxed with Americana about three weeks ago. Thanks

Jason, it should come off pretty easily. I use the stuff in the garage and its gets on the cement floor, but it doesnt stick around very long. And the only real water that gets in there is the runoff of my truck after I wash it and dry it inside...

sweet...I have the same setup in my Taco...Im about to buy the TRD exhaust, but I cant swallow paying for the shipping of it. You should post back if you see any improvement in MPGs. I know that I have not seen one bit of difference despite the claims you'll see all over the place about CAIs.

I had this discussion with a friend just last week. He questioned why I use a bucket wash method even though I have a pressure washer and a foam gun. He proposed that I just cover it with foamed soap, then blast it with the pressure washer and towel it off. MADNESS!! My truck is dark blue and was filthy at the time, so I tested his suggestion. I hit the wheels with APC, wet the entire truck, covered it with TONS of suds and then rinsed it with the power washer. When I was done with the rinse, I let it sit there for a minute until a spot dried off enough to see what was left. IT WAS A DIRTY MESS! There was tons of dirt and grime on the surface and there was no way I would drag a towel across that surface! My buddy had no choice but to agree that this process was not a complete/sufficient wash. The foam gun and power washer have their place, and are great tools. But there is no replacement for a good hand wash. No shortcuts.

Per recent threads, I believe that leaving my Adams gear in my garage (easily 100+ degrees these days) qualifies as the dumbest thing I've done. sigh

my only problem with this is that I wont have access to a PC tomorrow and will have to wait until Monday to order! ARGH!

Im glad you bring this up. I have often thought about adding a little of Adams DS to the wash bucket for some extra lube. I have yet to try it b/c I dont really have a problem with the wash as it is, but its still interesting....

I think the California is better looking....but that's just my opinion

wow, as a guy more or less his age and with a wife and kid, this type of reality hits hard. not knowing what else to do, I pray for his family and their peace. poor wife. poor kids. ugh....terrible situation. be sure to post what the plan to give-back to the family will be...I'll want to participate.

That's an awesome rig! VERY sweet! However, I dont think Im brave enough to try and take care of such a beast...the inevitable imperfections would drive me crazy!

Toss the Shammy....quickly. The Adams drying towel is MILES above any other product. Oh, and using DS and free-flowing/sheeting water as the last steps is a GREAT tip.

I have a lot of confidence that the Adams clay would fix that spot. Its amazing what the clay will remove from your finish. As for the frequency question, I wouldn't be concerned as the clay doesnt really remove any of the clear coat. The only "bad" thing the clay will do is it might create some micro marring (especially if not enough DS is used). But the PC process will take care of all that. In general, the clay process wont be necessary for a vehicle that is well/garage kept. There just wont be enough gunk to remove to warrant the work.
