Post your trucks for some detailing product!
 
Hey guys I've got my build that maybe some of you have checked out in the build section. I use a company called Adam's Polishes out of Louisville,CO for all of the detailing on the truck. Their products are incredible and are extremely easy to use.
They are about to start a build on Suburban and I'm going to head up the build thread on it. They wanted to offer some gift cards to some of our trucks on here and see what you guys think of the product.

So lets see some trucks and we'll select some for some gift cards!
I'll keep this thread up for a couple days.
Thanks!
Calvin

Last weekend I hit my truck with a Clay Bar, Paint Correction Polish, Paint Finishing Polish, Brilliant Glaze, and then a coat of Americana Paste Wax. Then I finished the wheels off with some of their Adams Metal Polish #2.

Love the products from Adams!! I use the detail spray, H20 gloss and guard, the clay bar, Metal polish 1 and 2, Americana wax. I plan on ordering the new clay system, more H20 guard, some interior detail and the glass cleaner..

Here's a pic of a few C10s (mine is the white one)at the local Coffee and Cars in Colorado Springs, CO. I've only read great reviews of the Adams products esp. on the Pontiac G8 forum.

Mine is painted with polyurethane paint and no clear coat. Most products smear or smudge so I'm open to try something that will work on this black. Thanks for the posting.

Excellent guys, Thank you! If you don't get chosen this time there will be more like this so keep an eye open. Check out adamspolishes.com there are lots of good "how to" videos on all the products.

I use the #2 Polish on my wheels, it's effortless to get billet polished to a mirror finish with it

Paint seems thin? It could use a good buffing. I have read a little
On using a clay bar? When spring gets here Im gonna get her shiny :chevy:

Yes I would clay bar before you polish for sure! You would be surprised what will come off of the clear coat that you can't see. After that, hit it with some Paint Correction Polish, Paint Finishing, and some wax and you'll be looking great!
The Americana wax gives an excellent shine!

Sorry I missed this post, but yes they do work very well on enamel! No special steps need taken, you can apply it the same way as clear coat. You will be very impressed with the results!
