SIERRAAZ

I have the same issue with my can as well.

I asked almost the exact same question a little wile ago as my truck is a DD and i do not have access to another vehicle wile my truck is waiting to be finished. I believe the answer i got was to hit it with WW as i would have driven it through the elements that day. If it was parked inside overnight i think you would be fine with either, but someone will chime in. Good luck

1-2 times a week. Just like if you were gonna have company at your house you wouldn't want then to see it dirty would you? If my truck is dirty i don't like people to see it.

My new motto: Take pride, shine your ride LOL

Hmm.. The AZ guys seem to have an idea.. I just might have heard from a little birdy what it is..

Yeah. I know about them and trust them. I posted in new member because it has been forever since I've been on the forum and didn't know where to post the request for the local guy. I've detailed before on my vehicles and on others, I just had too much happening currently and would like to find someone I can trust to do it right on the new car when I don't have the time to mess with it. Thanks for the heads up on European.

No problem! Nice truck by the way! Also let me know when your restocked, it would be a lot closer drive rather then going to Tempe if I'm ever in a pinch.

Thanks for the replys! I will use the tooth brush idea to see if that will make them less noticeable. I will eventually take them off but I'll hold off for now just cause of the added protection

I'm in buckeye but have no where near the knowledge to start doing paint corrections at this moment. However the only company I would let touch my truck is European detail in Scottsdale. I believe they will use Adams you just need to request it. Other then that I usually get my orders shipped to me in 2-3 days depending on how busy the shipping department is. Also you posted in new member check in so I will say

What is your solution or recommendation for the clear stickers they put around the fenders? I know it is probably to protect and help prevent rock chips but i think they look horrible and i want to remove them all together. Let me know your guys thoughts and what you do/have done. thanks.

Mtm first use, this thing is awesome!

I definitely need to get one of these. Was this used with gas or electric?

I need to put my premium waxes like my Americana inside the fridge next month. It's going to get hot here in Las Vegas.

I Have been thinking of bringing my products inside as well. It was 90 degrees on my way home from Phoenix. Makes for great weather to wash my truck in though

Used my foam cannon for the first time today. Worked Great! Foam Cannon, Clay, Polish, Sealant, VRT. Thats all. No pic editing either

I need more pics of this truck please haha

Nice work! Did you swap out the cloth for leather in the truck or that's how it came?

Awesome. Thanks for all the help/Info!

Matt, by your forum name I would think you have a GMC Sierra. If so what year and type? I have a 2013 Sierra Ext. Cab. (black)

Yup. I have a 2012 crew cab. White. Ill try a post a picture of it. How do you like yours?

Matt,

 

I drive my TBSS daily. I use QS, BG, then APW.

 

Mook

Thanks. Im pretty sure in that order as well?

Curious as to what the best combo is for a daily driver? I sometime work at the office all day and the truck does not move, and other times i drive 200+ mile a day. I read quick sealant can last 4-6 month and buttery 1 month and finally the face melt combo 2 month is what i have read. What are your opinions?

Is there a Adams vendor in AZ? I found HRW Motorsports but they are out of business i think. Also what size backing plate do i need to use Adam's pads? I believe just the standard 6'' right?

I'm not trying to start an argument or anything, but I can guarantee you that IPA is not removing the wax off the car from the section you will be doing next. Americana will not be removed that easily.

haha jk.

If you will not have time to do the whole vehicle, do a section at a time. maybe do the hood and roof, then next day or when ever correct a different part next time. If you are driving the vehicle out and around,, I would do a 2 bucket wash prior to working on paint. If it is just sitting garage, then I would hit it with the WW.

 

Here is a idea I did on car for my friend.. I strip wash entire car. clayed it, Polished the hood and front of car. applied BG and Americana to entire car. Next time I will polish a different part of it. At least I got the clay job done and paint was clean and the entire car looked alot better then it did.... I will wash entire car again when he brings it back to me. But I will only have to strip the part I am going to polish with IPA. Do what you can when you can. Do not try to do the entire car and make it a rush job. You will hate it..

 

Hope that helps..

Great info! thanks for the tips!

Your on the right track now. Strip wash, hit with IPA, polish then IPA again before sealant and wax. Remember to take your time, do not get into a rush. That is when you will start missing up. If you have to do one or 2 panels a day do it that way. First time I did it, tried doing the whole car in one day and that was starting at like 2pm. I was wore out and did not get the results I wanted. Granted the car was glowing, but nothing like she could of.

 

Watch the videos over and over, and ask all questions you need.

What if the Car or truck you are correcting is you only means of getting around? Say you need to go some where if you don't finish working on it the first day, when you are ready to work on it again do you hit it with some ww before continuing? Or what is the proper prep before starting again?

Can I wash Adams mf towels with others towels? I have the cheepy mf towels I used on glass,wheels ect until my other orders show up, but can I wash together? Or do you separate load like wax and polish rags then glass and wheel rags together? Just wanna make sure I don't destroy these towels first wash.

I'm may be interested. How long ago did you buy it? Everything works fine I assume? If you have any pics that would be great. Pm me what you looking to get for it. Thanks.

Open the box last nigh. Cant wait to give it a try. The truck needs a wash first.

Hope no one is annoyed with all my pictures. I just really enjoy sharing what I've been working on. I've so busy you would think detailing was my full time job.

Anyway here's the Hyundai Genesis I polished up today. I was fixing some swirls installed by a "professional" detail shop. Some Adam's productstook care of those.

 

Looks great. What products and steps was this?

Definitely rotary holograms there... good job capturing that b/c its not always easy to photograph. You'll definitely need to machine polish to fix those... by hand you're just not going to be able to impart enough change to remove those.

So would you say swirl & haze or try fine machine polish?
