Ask the Detailer

I just bought the Adams and am very pleased with it. It is louder than hell though.

 

*didn't see the drool emoji.

Good looking trucks. The wife's and mine are due for a detail soon. Excited about using the G9.

Since you have a white tundra question for you: Any particular product you recommend for the white paint? Wife's RDX is white.

 

I use a Milwaukee cordless one. It’s a beast.

I can safely speak for @ToyoMafia on this one.

You have this one?

I have the Adam’s polish air cannon Jr and it works decently well. What I like to do is use a drying towel on the body panels to get most the water off and than use the air cannon to get all the water out of the cracks behind the panels. Keeps water from dripping after you are done.

 

It’s an excellent machine, as all Milwaukee products are.

 

He knows.

 

Same. Love it.

 

I use an air compressor for that.

 

That M18 milwaukee is great, I use it on our cars. If youre not on the M18 platform, there are better/stronger options. I would go with an EGO if that was the case.
But realistically, any decent blower will get the beads off without issue on a ceramic coated surface. You wont need a huge 3ft by 3ft drying towel anymore.

 

I have a CR Spotless system. I ain’t drying shit.

 

Same...I got the rv mods conversion kit and love me.some DI water

 

My brother picked up another vehicle for them (2019 highlander with 15k miles on it). He was talking about coating it and mentioned Kamikaze. Is anyone familiar with them? I told him I'd check since I hadn't really seen much about them. Seems high priced. I suggested Cquartz 3.0 since I've used it and it's easy. Been on the Sequoia for 2.5 years or so and still doing well. Mentioned Undrdog as well since good reviews from a few here.

 

How’s that working out?

 

Yeah I won’t ever use 3.0 again. It was decent but UDP crushes it

 

Sorry Billy, missed your post here a few months back. Text Holden, I know he has some recommendations for shops.

 

Yeah I wipe them all down with the QDpro, their normal QD and now magic elixir. I’ve also finished washes with Hydro2 so idk how tf the coating is doing lol.

 

Replacing the lower cowl on the FJ. Got all the new OEM parts and sent the metal to paint 8 weeks back. Now throwing on UDP on everything before the install.

 

Anyone using a rolling tool box for your detailing storage? I've amassed quite the collection of detailing stuff (should probably purge all the old stuff from 10-15 years ago) and it currently lives a freestanding shelving unit and its a mess. I've been thinking about getting a floor standing/rolling tool box, but i'd rather not have to lay bottles down on their sides and possibly create a mess, so i'm having a hard time trying to find something with some deep drawers.

 

Looks amazing!! What do you suggest for vacuums?

 

Definitely don’t store them on their side. Gladiator makes some nice cabinets for this
