MiloX Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hey guys. Joined the community a while back. Been lurking since then. I have been waiting for my new truck to arrive. Picked her up about 10 days ago. 2012 F150 SVT Raptor And I placed my first order tonight. I got the detailing essentials kit, the quick sealant kit, and the glass cleaner and sealant kit. Hopefully that will give me enough ammo to start her off right. I'll be honest... I am a bit of a skeptic so I had to swallow hard on that $275 order. I really hope these products are as good as everyone on here makes them out to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Brian. I promise you won't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiloX Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks for the welcome! I am a long time Megs user so I am excited to try something new. The Meg's treated the G35 (in the background of the first pic) really well over the years. Hopefully this mild winter keeps up so I can get to work!

Corners Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Brian: I'm fairly new to detailing. Additionally I was not sure how Adam's products would work out. After trying more products on the market than I care to admit, I can't begin to explain how well you are going to like them. You will be hearing or reading a lot about "learning" how to use each product on here from many many forum members. As one member told me yesterday - learn one product until you know it well and then continue on to the next one. Because it is a "learning" process that is going to take some time. You, like me, others, will probably make mistakes as you work with the products. It's normal - just don't give up. I had a habit of buying a lot of chrome for my motorcycle. Well I now am "hooked" on buying Adam's products. Good luck with them and you will be amazed at how your vehicle/s will turn out as you progress down the road of detailing.

Chase@InsanePaint Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Loooooooove that dang truck dude!!! Any 4x4 with a 400hp 6.2L V8 gets a massive WIN in my book!!! Killer choice man. Oh, and as far as the initial $275 order. I'll just say this.......be prepared to buy another $500 within 60 days. Cuz you're gonna want more. Period. WELCOME TO THE INSANITY.....uh, I mean help group.....uh, I mean detailers rehab.....uh, I mean Adam's Polishes......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2hill Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Welcome Brian. Great looking truck! I'll be honest... I am a bit of a skeptic so I had to swallow hard on that $275 order. I really hope these products are as good as everyone on here makes them out to be! As you probably already know, if you have any questions about the products just ask away.

Tim Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'll be honest... I am a bit of a skeptic so I had to swallow hard on that $275 order. I really hope these products are as good as everyone on here makes them out to be! I was right there a little less than two months (well, also 10 orders) ago.

egott_91 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Nice truck, but overpriced in my eyes. Aren't they like $60k+? I also started out with the essentials kit. Well, let's just say the addict will grow. I now have almost every product offered by Adam's. I used to use megs and mothers stuff, but don't plan on going back now.

MiloX Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Nice truck, but overpriced in my eyes. Aren't they like $60k+? They're actually a pretty darn good value for what you get. Crew Cab stickers at $45k. Acces cab at $42k. Of course you can option them up to over $50k very easily. But for standard equipment you get 12" of suspension travel with the Fox Racing shocks, Torsen front end, eLocker, 6.2l V8 @ 411 hp and 460 tq. I paid under 1% over invoice for mine. Haven't regretted it for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some dealers have been marking them up. :crazy: I love this truck and all.... But there is no way I would have bought it unless the deal was right.

MiloX Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Welcome! Friggen truck is a beast! Thanks Gator. As is your GT500. This is my second Ford... And my second SVT vehicle. First was a 2002 SVTFocus. Handled like it was on rails and just revved and revved and revved. Look forward to sticking around for a while.

MichiganSRT8 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 nice raptor! my neighbor has an all black one, and whenever im home he always revs it at my jeep haha. those are sick rigs man, nice pick up (literally). If hennessey's kits werent such crap id say go for the velociraptor kit they have, only cause of the cool name haha. Welcome and hope your first purchase goes well with the products, any questions and you know where to come, all nice people here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpressThis13 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Very nice choice! You will not be dissapointed in Adams at all. I myself started out with the sampler kit that detail spray among other things. The detail spray is a huge favorite here. From there I moved up to hand polishing and Americana and then I hit the machine polishing bug. I was skeptical myself but believe me you will be making out a list of stuff you want and figuring out what you can get away with purchasing lol. Remember to check out the volume 7 dvd and the Junkman's corner as well as Junkman videos on youtube featuring Adams Polishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Great truck. Guy down the street just got one in red and I've been drooling over it as I drive past. Ford did a good job on the Raptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
