Finally Pulled the Trigger...

[gunnybadger]

I've always believed if you want something done right, sometimes you have to do it yourself (not everything, but most things). 

 

Anyways, I paid $159 bucks to have my truck "detailed" yesterday and it looked good afterwards, but the more time I spent inspecting the work the more things I found wrong. Mirrors/glass streaked, water spots, etc. 

 

Then of course...the one time it finally decides to start raining in SoCal is the same day. Well today I noticed whatever they used on my side mirrors is running off and down on my paint. It has now left greasy streaks in my paint. 

 

So, I said enough is enough and finally pulled the trigger...I ordered me some Adam's products. 

 

On the way is: 

 

2 Bucket Car Wash Kit

 

Perfect Interior Kit

 

Ultimate Wheel and Tire Kit

 

and 

 

Detail Spray and Visco Clay bar Combo. 

 

Had I listened the first time, I promise I will next time, I could have covered half of my order with what I paid for a half @$$ed "detail" job. 

 

I'm pretty excited about using professional level products and learning the art of detailing. I'm not OCD, but I like things to be clean and in order

That's a decent start!  Hahaha.  Those items will pay for themselves in less time that you think.  

 

You should detail your truck, then go show your "detailer" what a real detail looks like!

I was just getting ready to ask what else am I missing to a "complete" a detail...guess I probably some wax/polish or correcting and finishing polish too, huh?

Congrats on your new products, let us know if you have any questions once you receive them.

you will enjoy the products, the best part is you can now get that shiny look whenever you want.

theres nothing like the satisfaction of doing the job yourself. Just get your game plan set, and have at it. Once you do it right, you will always knitpick someone elses work. It always takes longer to do the job right, but then you know it was done right.

Yeah, I was doing a lot of research, youtube'ing, etc. last night and realized that it's not quite complete yet. I'll be placing another order, plus my b-day is coming up and maybe I can persuade the wife to get me a polisher Thank you!
