NTHEWIND

More Pictures. Hope everyone enjoys! 

My Wife Mary Beth and I just happen to be in the area for the weekend. We checked out the Adams booth first thing. Found out about this annual thank you party from Adam. 

What a great Party! Adam and all the staff really did this thing up right! Later on Mary Beth danced to the DJ's music to close the night! 

Semi trucks are a lot of work to try to keep clean, let alone DETAILED! I've been trucking for 37 years!

I bought my Vette for this

Great work and nice pictures!

Looks good!

Welcome!

Holy crap, I never knew you could get a shower in those trucks. My uncle just bought a new Kenworth, but no shower, lol.

It's not the truck as much as it is the custom sleeper. The sleeper company

ARI http://www.legacysleepers.com/ builds the sleepers and installs them on most any truck.

After 30 years on the road I think we deserve a little bit of luxury.

If you're outside washing your car at 7AM and none of your neighbors see you doing it, do they still think you're crazy?

Only if it's 20 below and you're in the nude!

I think this will qualify, I posted this in another topic entitled 'VRT not good'........This stuff is amazing!

After VRT

VRT My all time favorite Adams product.

I've got a 2001 ZO6 Corvette and I've averaged 28 MPG on several trips.

Thanks for the informative post!

I have a VRT story of my own...sorry to hijack the thread, but it does fit-in.

 

Preparing for the driving I was gonna do for the holiday, I spent a ton of time detailing my truck. Interior and exterior. It looked great! But....I ran out of time and had failed to put VRT on the tires. Five minutes before we started the drive (350 miles in 85* weather), I decided to take a chance and apply the VRT. I thought this might backfire on me, and the VRT would sling all over the sides of my truck, but....at the end of the trip, not a single drop had been slung! the tires looked perfect and so did the rocker pannels, etc.

 

I was really amazed that this worked...not to doubt Adams stuff, but just b/c I have been burned by so many other tire dressings in the past.

I don't consider it a highjack at all. Like I started out saying I've been using Adams products for a while and of course using it all in the 'normal' way. But like you, I found that VRT is the best product of it's kind you can buy.

Thanks for sharing your story!

I think a nice small carry bag like the one you have for the automotive stuff would be a good start. Big enough to hold a standard spray bottle of detail spray, aluminium polish, chrome cleaner (BSG?), small Butter Wax, Small VRT, and some MF towels?. Just a thought, I think if targeted at the right HARLEY shops they would sell.

I think if targeted at the right HARLEY shops they would sell.

I don't think Harley would allow that. They are so ##### about anything that does not have HD on it.

I use VRT on a sponge on the wheel wells on the vette, they stay matte black and not shiny. Give it a try, it sounds like what you're looking for.

 

Doing it by hand this way ensures you cover every square inch and apply it evenly. I used the Undercarriage Spray a couple times trying to convince myself it would be easier but I have always gone back to the method I described above.

On a C4 I'm sure you are talking about the plastic fender wells that lift up with the hood and then expose the plastic fender wells around the tires.

On a well used/abused C4 that has not been taken care of this area can be a challenge. I would only paint this area as a last resort, it never looks correct as the original is not painted, unless you want a custom look.

Good luck on your project and have a safe trip home.

My wife was complaining about all the 'shower scum' that she could not get off in the shower in our truck. I looked at it and it's just gel coated fiberglass. So out came the Adams stuff.................

Now the water beads up and cleaning the shower is a snap.

Later,

I figured I'd get more people looking at this this tread with this heading, you know the 'man bites dog' mentality.

VRT ranks as my #1 favorite product and an absolutely must have product even for basic detailing.

Think about what all and where all you can use this product, ....interior, look at all the plastic and vinyl used in modern vehicles, it even works on leather.

Outside..... tires, and all the plastic, rubber and vinyl trim.

Under Hood.....look at all the plastic 'covers' used now-a-days.

Wow Great pictures!

Aruba has gotten such a bad rap in resent times with the disappearance of that girl on spring break. I'm sure that's it's probably the safest place to travel to now.

Later,

WOW! Great writeup Junkman!

Thanks for taking the time to post your trip.

Later,

Very nice, I think it's time I tried this stuff out.

This is one product that is a 'must have' even for basic detailing. I chose this in the basic stuff I bought for my brother for his new car.

Great photos David!! Thanks so much, and we are going to use these in our marketing, so expect to see them show up on the VRT Product Page my friend.

 

Hey, how is the pool, and how is your relaxing weekend coming along?

Adam:

Thanks! I was not for sure how these photos would turn out. I brought out my Canon 20D out of 'semi' retirement the other week when I went on an ATV trip and didn't want to take my Mark11n. I used my 50mm lens to cut down on the size and weight. I really liked the images that came out from that trip and decided to try it on this little project.

I'll be looking forward to seeing these in your marketing.

The pool was cold and the hot tub was small, but as always MB and I are having a great time.

Later,

David, do you go to GATS? Think there is one GATS, or MATS..... in Tennessee next month? They were talking about it on Roaddog 147 today (Sirius Radio) You should enter your rig.

I don't know what GATS or MATS is. Anyway I'm just not into spending the time and work it would take to get our truck into show condition.

It's almost a full time job keeping our truck looking half way decent.

Thanks for the information!

Later,

for the life of me I couldn't figure out where on a truck you'd have a latch like that... I was thinking Ford F150 or something. Then I noticed your Avitar.

 

BTW, Adam's sells VRT by the gallon for users like you.

 

Rich

I guess I should have pointed out that this was on a Kenworth semi.

I've been working up to buying all my Adams my the gallons. I've told Adam that he needs to look into getting into the show semi truck circuit, they would use wax and polishes my the gallons like I do.

This stuff is amazing!

I was done detailing the interior of my truck with VRT and I went out to unlatch the hood so I could clean the windshield. I had been using a sponge with VRT so my hands was wet with it. I noticed where I had touched the latch, (that was really faded) it was shiny. So I got got the camera and snapped some before pictures, wiped the rest of the latch and shot some after pics. This stuff is better than I thought!

The day after 9/11 we should have declared war. 2,752 human lives lost that day............more than Pearl Harbor.

Tragedy.

Declared war on who or what country?

I think the president declared 'war' on terrorist???
