Sooners Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Nice work! Now you need to get some Adam's on that bad boy. I bet you could get those fender wells looking even better with some Undercarriage Spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Not bad for a guy using all the wrong products When you planning on making the switch to some Adams on that big ol' truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 You know – and I don't say this being an Adam's fanboy or anything, and i'm not discounting all the hard work you put into this – but in all honestly I think that Adam's stuff truly makes silvers and whites glow and shimmer a lot more than the results you got. This being an Adam's forum you will of course get a lot of people agreeing with me, and I bet if you get a chance to try some Adam's polishes and waxes you'll see a difference yourself. Welcome to AF. Enjoy yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Not bad for a guy using all the wrong products Just think what it would look like with Adam's! All joking a side you have got to give Adam's a try.You won't be sorry!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterp199 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Looks good. If you were goign to try one Adam's product on that bad boy. It should be invisible undercarriage spray. Your wheel wells will look amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Lets see a close up flash lighted picture of the paint... Has it been corrected or just cleaned? I think a bit of Adams Under Carriage Spray is in need. Keep up the good work! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then post up the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimitedDodge Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 You should do your dad's truck with Adam's and compare the two since you were wanting to do comparisons. And then post up the results. With trucks I like to spray down the front and rear end too with whatever you used on the inside of your fenders. That way you don't have everything nice and clean and dirty axles/suspension standing out like a sore thumb. Although it is not easily seen standing next to truck, when someone is driving behind you they can see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach5.9CTD Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 thats a good idea, but mine need paint way more than jus a cleaning. this iowa salt kills vehicles. the truck had been only lightly corrected, and still had swirls in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
