Found some really good detail spray…

[Tank]

Was at a Lowrider car show a couple months ago and this 64 Impala had one of the nicest candy apple red paint jobs. Started chatting with the guy and he explained the paint job is like 30 years old but he sprays it with this stuff once a week and waxes twice a year.

I’m always down to try a new car detailer to make my life easier so I pick up a bottle. Not exactly cheap but if it works then, cool.

Finally used it on the truck last night and wow! Stuff is legit. Goes on super easy, wipes off and leaves a very nice slick just waxed feel. Also seems to hide the swirls and what not very well. Mind you, our truck is 20 years old and while Andy Hothe (who I bought it from 5 years ago) took outstanding care of it, it’s still a 20 years old old factory paint job. And unfortunately I’ve had to keep it parked outside since owning it. But the paint sure does shine up nice.

This stuff worked really well. I’d suggest grabbing some. Gonna put it on the Mercedes today after I’m done getting it washed.

Like the side exit exhaust before rear tire. Do you get any cab noise/drone, when under load?

32 oz $40.

I've been using Griots 3 in 1 and been happy with it.

 

[Chili Palmer]

I use Beadmaker after every wash - it really extends the wax intervals.

Any shops in LHC carry it?

Been using the Meguairs spray, but always willing to try something new.

The red on your truck looks really nice!

X2. That’s what I use and love it.

 

[ShineSyndicate]

This is my go to stuff right here! can also dilute this, which is what I typically do. Super Slick, Hydrophobic Properties, Deep Gloss! Can use it on ANY Surface! Always my final Step!

Thanks. I can’t take credit for ANYTHING on this truck, except I took the black fender wells off, put the newer mirrors on, headlights and the amp steps.

Andy put the rims on, performance chip, intake, exhaust, cognito front end, 5th wheel
Attachment, rear bags, stereo, Tv, alarm, wheels and bed cover.

And no, no exhaust noise inside the cab. I always say it’s the best driving and riding truck I’ve ever driven. Drives like a cadi.

I have a business card from the Adam's polish guy in town if you want it.

Nope. It's awesome. No streaks or anything.

I love black vehicles but keeping the finish looking good is too much work and expense.
If this is a lazy man way to over-come this,, I'm in.

Feel you on that. Have had a few black vehicles in my day and never again!

Couldn’t agree more!!!! It’s a HUGE nightmare keeping our black car clean. I take it to the car wash minimum 2 times a week (take the truck at least once a week too). I belong to the monthly unlimited “quick wash” club thing but obviously they don’t wash it as thoroughly as when I get out and let them deal with the whole thing in and out. Then I end up adding their spray wax to the finish so minus my $10 quick wash it comes to $25 wash in and out, wheels and tires and spray wax. Plus $5 tip. Twice a week. I’m just too anal and can’t stand a dirty car, boat, cart, bike etc. and right now the car sits outside until we build a new garage. So the moist beach air and wind does NOT help. Thought about wrapping it flat black because I think it would hide dust better but just don’t know.

I used this spray on the car too and it came out phenomenal.

Though it's not a spray but a wax on, wax off polish, the good old Nu Finish is amazing. I use it on my Sea Cat. It lasts for a long time below the water line when running in salt water. I've used all sort of other polishes but they all wear of quickly in the salt.

I still have some and use it on the boat from time to time!

Boy. . . . detailing products sure have come a long way . . . even just between the graphene / ceramic spray waxes/ detailers and micro-fiber towels alone, holy smokes what a difference.
I sure don't miss the days of elbow grease and paste wax, trying to get rid of all the white powder mess and cutting up old t-shirts. LOL

 

[JL95]

Some of yall have graphene in your blood and don't even know it LOL

Just wiped the Mercedes down again this morning. This shit is bomb. Love it. Easy on, easy off. Slick as snot. Deep gloss.

Not to hijack this thread, but what gets dried wax off black trim?

Just ordered two bottles. I typically use Adams detail products and really like them. Open to trying new products.

 

[OC Daytona]

I've been using Adams too, but have a whole cart full of stuff
Always room for 1 more

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Can you use this on a boat gel coat?

I checked Spankys, nada.

 

[Desert Whaler]

@OC Daytona . . . what do you use those magic erasers for?
I've used them for various stuff around the house . . . and the non-skid on my Whaler . . . but I've heard others mention / warn not to use them for certain things
That's some serious dollar cars in those pics. . . . I'm curious where you'd use them (if on the cars at all).

I use them on the wheels of the cars, but I mostly use them to get the black exhaust shit off the back of the 28 Daytona.
Best thing I've tried to keep the white gelcoat and the muffler tips clean. They also remove the wax too, so you gotta reapply after almost every day on the lake, but that doesn't take long.

With bigger wheels?

Fabtech 6” lift but decranked down to 4” with 35” toyos.

About to hit 400k in it. She’s definitely getting worn out.

Adams now has product in WalMart, with that new retail outlet, they were able to lower prices too, really helping their line. Try Adams Butter wax, it's the shit. I detail a lot of stuff, and I like the Butter was a lot.

been using Adams products for a while - really effective on the clear over metallic finishes

Love that color. You don't see it very often
Reminds me a little of my old 911 slant nose. Mine was called Indiana Red Metallic. It was copperish in the bright sun and turned a bitchen red as the sun went down

I’d still rock a slant nose today!!! Love those.

Buddy was selling one about 15 years ago. Went to the bank, got the cashiers check. Took it to him and at the last minute decided not to buy it! looked just like yours.

I’ve always wanted to take a newer 911 turbo and slant nose it and do some things to pay tribute to the 80’s SN’s

Something like these

IKR? Those are bitchen. I'm surprised Porsche hasn't come out with a limited edition Slant Nose on some of their newer turbos.
They bring back Speedster models every once in a while. The trippy thing about those slant noses for me was it was like the car ended at the windshield.
You couldn't see anything beyond the windshield to judge how close you were getting to hitting something with the front end

Was a fun car to have in the late 80's/early 90's. Strippers & blow everywhere Allegedly........

Here's the only pic I have with my Hallett Vector and 911 together.......1992. Damn seems like 5 years ago.....time flies

Yes similar color. This one on my 991 called amaranth red metallic. A bit of copper in it. Changes a bit in different light

I was at walmart early this morning, I figured I would grab some of the adams stuff and give it a try, first of all its all locked up, walmart gal right there can't unlock it and tells me to get a service guy, which none are around, so I figured I didn't need it that bad. I was surprised on how many things are locked up now, almost every isle has locked items.

 

[Todd Mohr]

I got some Adam’s this morning at AutoZone, put in on my black car, it has never looked better. Drove over 50 miles and parked in a dirt lot at a bar. Car still looks great.

@Tank My graphene stuff finally arrived, and I applied it yesterday. I have a ceramic coating and have used Adams and other spray detailers for years with no complaints. This graphene stuff hits different. The paint has an unexplainable deeper shine. I am stoked with how it came out. Thanks for the tip.
