Team Adam's Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The truck wasn't too rough, had some light swirls and stuff here and there. Process was: Tires and Fenders were cleaned with APC and Adam's Fender Brush Wheels cleaned with Adam's Wheel Brush/Lug Brush and Car Soap diluted in a sprayer Inner wheel hoops were cleaned using the same soap mix and the Power Stick Washed the whole truck with Strip Wash I'm playing with Clayed w/ Adam's Clay and Detail Spray Rewashed Using Adam's Car Wash and Foam Gun Dried using Blaster Sidekick, Great White Drying Towels, Waterless Wash for a drying agent Tires, trim, and plastics dressed with Super VRT Fenders dressed with Invisible Undercarriage Spray Panels were treated on a case by case basis for some reason the doors were thrashed, but the rest of the truck was relatively swirl free. Flex w/ 7.5" orange pad and Adam's Swirl & Haze Remover for tougher areas. The whole truck was done with the PC, white pad and Fine Machine Polish Applied a single thin coat of Brilliant Glaze with an Americana Hex Grip App Then 2 coats of Americana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Very nice Dylan! "Ah, no Adam, I didn't log on to any forums today, I was ah, ah, 'product testing'. Yea, yea, that's it, I was product testing all day on my truck!" LOL... I was on the phone with him for a part of the morning talking about it actually. Pad choices as they pertain to the flex and its possible addition to our line. This was just as much product research and testing as it was personal reasons - had something come up that forced me to stop and break it up over the next day. Now you just need to tint your tails and it will be just like your TBSS. Planning on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is stunning, it's so black it is now sucking in all the light around it, a detailing black hole. :iagree:I have no idea how you've managed to make the black so amazingly mirrored! It's almost confusing in some of your pics, the black takes on a chrome/silvery appearance!

FuhTeng Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I was skeptical. Really, what is the purpose of a truck that isn't really a truck? But wow, that looks fantastic. Good work Dylan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Nothing but love brother! We all work just to be able to have some time to do what you do for a living! Trust me, not a day goes by that I don't wake up and think of how lucky I am that Adam thinks enough of me to make me a part of his team and allows me to do something that I love to do to provide for my family. This job has truly a dream come true and I will never ever take it for granted, I get to do something I'm passionate about and enjoy for a living and my boss just isn't my boss, but a truly good friend. Our customers are great and I get to spend my days giving you guys a hard time and answering some questions. Its really a 'pinch me' scenario. Good lord! I don't care what they say about you, you've got a gift my friend! The rumors are all true. I was skeptical. Really, what is the purpose of a truck that isn't really a truck? But wow, that looks fantastic. Good work Dylan. I'm the kind of guy who would bag a 3500 dually... I like trucks low and totally impractical. Its sick, but Ryan understands. Meh its alright Yer car's just kinda clean... some of the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsford Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 How often do you go over your truck with FMP to keep the swirls down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 There are no formulas, equations, or time tables in detailing... so to that end its 'as needed'. Sometimes I might do it after a few weeks, other times months... it all depends. If you notice some light swirls and have time to do a quick correction, do it. If you don't... don't!!
