Re: Washed/Waxed Pics *Lots of Pics*

Looking good P's,wait till next week when you wash again,I think the Undercarriage Spray looks better after it is rinsed the first time.It's just as black just not as shiny,more of a matte finish.
If you can do all this in an hour and a half,you could have done four of our trucks at Stillen.WTF????

Re: Washed/Waxed Pics *Lots of Pics*

I wanted to detail my truck today, but decided wifes Pathfinder needed a wash first, well Wash and Wax (Got the same treatment as your Titan) and then Mom's XB (Wash, undercarriage and VRT tires). So when I get to the Titan. Hood Clay bared , polished and waxed, left front fender and door polished and waxed and quit.... CRAP I'M TIRED!!!!

I'll let P answer your questions.. B ut will fill in what I can.

Claybar is the fisrt step in bringing back cars with real rough paint. Works on tree sap, overspray, fallout and other nasty stuff...

The Under Carriage spray is a ubber Armor all stuff that really make the wheel wells POP...

VRT is Adams tire dressing and works great cause it desn't fling off like oters.. It also works great on all black plastic parts...

undercarriage spray is a spray that you apply to the undercarriage above the wheels/tires. It brings back a new look instead of a faded dirty plastic.

VRT is Vinly,Rubber&Tire. It is like a armorall but IMO a way better product like Derwud said. It wont fling off like Armor All does while driving and lasts a hell of lot longer.

What derwud said about the claybar is right, if you go out and rub your fingers on a clean truck ( dont want to rub in lite scracthes ) you can feel how rough the paint is. After using a clay bar it'll feel smooth and will be cleaner and your removing crap you cant using a basic wash.

Shur,he deals it like crack too,gets you started with a little bottle,then has us all buying it by the gallon, before you know it,you're giving it to your friends and getting them started also.Seriously though all the Adams products work this well.

Re: Washed/Waxed Pics *Lots of Pics*

nice work P's!

I washed my Titan this past weekend and will probably need the following:

Clay bar
Under carriage Sprat
VTR
and since I'm going to clay bar, some wax.

I noted some water spots around my chrome pieces where the hood meets the grill, any suggestion for those? Can I clay bar that area or is it a no-no on chrome?

Also, If you want to wash my truck in NC you're more the welcome

I wouldnt claybar the chrome pieces, a good rub with the car wash soap or the detail spray will clean that up.

I don't think I'll be washing rides in NC. Since I am a passenger all weekend I'll probably be intoxicated most of the time
