theKID Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Recently traded in our 2011 Expedition and purchased a 2014 Silverado Crew Cab Standard Box. Well I haven't washed my own vehicles in about 8 years or maybe more. Back then I was using Adams clay, detail spray, and buttery wax but just random products for everything else. Well now that I we bought a new truck I want to take care of it myself. Last week I purchased Adam's Complete 2 Bucket Wash Kit as a start. I am not sure what else I need next, I am trying not to break the bank all at once so I just want to piece stuff together slowly. I assume I should buy the things that are needed for a weekly wash first and then start gathering detail stuff. I would love opinions on what to buy next or what all I need. Here is just a list I through together for what to buy during the labor day sale... Adam's All Purpose Cleaner-16 oz Adam's New Tire Shine! Adam's Super Block Dressing Applicator-APP-BLOCK Adam's Super VRT Tire & Trim Dressing-16 oz Adam's Total Interior Detailer-16oz Bottle Adam's Edgeless Microfiber Utility Towels-2 Pack Adam's Glass Cleaner-16 oz Adam's Microfiber Glass Cleaning Towels (2)-2 Pack Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner - New Price!-16oz is there anything else I need for my weekly wash? Or what do you think I should purchase after this purchase? Any help is appreciated... Edited September 1, 2014 by theKID Team Adam's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris@Adams Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Cory! There are so many great products......QS is a great wheel sealant. Do you still have Buttery? Once you start using Adam's you will want them all........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_pappy Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Welcome Cory. Yeah, start with the basic wash and maintenance items, and build from there. Depending on the color, and what you want you want it to look like will determine how far you go. Best of luck with the new truck, and Adam's. Let me know if I can help.

theKID Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for the welcomes. I no longer have any buttery because it was actually my dads that I use to steal. Haha! Bruce the truck is Diamond White so it shouldn't be too hard to keep shiny. I want to keep it as nice and clean as possible for a truck that stays outside but I don't want to learn to use machines so it'll all be hand products.

Chris@Adams Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If your truck lives outside I would suggest LPS. NEW! Adam's Liquid Paint Sealant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theKID Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Now when using sealant you'd clay, polish, sealant, wax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 First off, Welcome Cory! Now when using sealant you'd clay, polish, sealant, wax? The wax part is up to you. With LPS you would have the protect taken care of, so the wax is just for a deeper look. b_pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
