Life finally allowed me time to used my first Adams order. I washed my wife’s Colorado and my Silverado.
The wife’s truck went pretty well. It was cool(around 70 and cloudy)and mostly shaded. By the time I got to my truck the temp was around 80/85 and in the sun.
Both trucks were washed and dried exactly the same.
I got everything set up and ready for a 2 bucket wash with a third bucket for the wheels and wheel wells. I started with the wheels and wheel wells. I had a brush for the wells and tires and a mitt for the wheels. I only had the wash shampoo so that’s what I used until I get more products. That turned out pretty good.
Then i sprayed down the truck shady side first and then moved to the foam gun and started on the sunny side and back to the shade.
Then 2 bucket wash.
Rinsed
finshed with drying using detail spray and a soft microfiber drying towel. And this point the Colorado had some water spots that came off fairly easy. Over all her truck wasn’t to bad. But when I did my truck in the same order the sun was drying the truck fast and leaving water spots and streaks. The detail spray seemed to dry very fast and took more product than I expected. (About 3/4 of a spray bottle for both trucks)
Should I have dried the truck(s) with the great white drying towel and came back with detail spray afterwards?
Is there a better option?
Hot weather is a problem where I’m at. And the water is hard.
In the end the trucks are clean and im happy with the results. Just looking for a better/easier way to get the same out come.
Both trucks were washed separately. And the all buckets were emptied/washed/refilled per truck.
