    Got the rest of my stuff in yesterday to give the truck a good detail this weekend.

    Will follow up with a review on each of these products as I get a chance to use them.

    Can already say that the interior detailer followed by some 303 aerospace is excellent for the interior.

    This weekend I plan on using the wash and wax followed by a claybar and finally the paint sealant.

    Each wash after that I will use wash and wax followed by h2o guard and gloss until its time to reseal.

    I like Adam's. Their VRT is the bee's knees.

    Whats the VRT? I just got started with Adams products. Was impressed with the interior stuff so I ordered everything I could need for the outside. Love how each of their products have a different scent that smells great.

    Nice sounds like its pretty similar to the 303 aerospace. Does it give the tires more of a wet look or a brand new look?

    Lol nice, you gonna put one product on each tire and see which holds up the best or put all 4 on each?

    If your luck is like mine the rain will hold off until you decide to wash it and then an unexpected storm will come in the next day.

    If your looking for a good product to clean all the dirt off your tires try Bleche-Wite. Spray the tires with Bleche-Wite and scrub with a stiff brush and then rinse off the tires. It amazing how much dirt comes off the tires.

    That stuff doesn't work half as good as it used to when it was Westley's Bleche Wite. Black Magic ruined it.

    At that price they are well made and if slightly dirty I don't mind tossing it and grabbing a new one for each detail.

    bought a pack of that like 2 years ago and still have more than half left. But I only wash my truck once or twice a year.

    Used the adams wash and wax followed by a claybar and then finished it off with the adams liquid paint sealant. Sun never came out today but its shining better than ever, pics dont do it justice..also hit rims with some of the h2o guard and gloss so well see how that goes. Plan on using their upholstery cleaner to tackle some of the seat stains tomorrow.

    Thanks Steve, was my first time using a claybar so it was a learning experience. I was really impressed with the wash and wax as it alone was beading up water like crazy once I washed it the first time. After the claybar and sealant its as smooth as glass and looks better than it did when I got it new. Well see how it holds up.
