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. :rockon:

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!

thanks guys, i thought it came out good, i will be also adding my fathers truck i meguiarized as well as my 83 Chevy C10 that i show and drag race

 

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. :2thumbs:

:iagree:

 

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! :2thumbs:
