Pre-winter detailing

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Anyone do anything special before all the cold shit moves in? I'm really thinking I need to clay bar and put about three coats of good wax on the truck before this winter to avoid the headaches of cleaning up in the fall. I use the Tech Wax 2.0 but have heard it is not really that good. Any suggestions on a liquid wax? I'm not a big fan of pastes.

never used a liquid that I liked. Adams bud......works great. I did mine in June and have been doing my Fukken regiment since then.

Link me to the exact product?

Thanks. I'll be ordering that in a week or so.

[0212353]

and yeah, its a liquid. LOL

I am a big believer in paste......but yeah. For liquids, its awesome.

there are a LOT of vendors for this stuff too, so I'm sure you can find a great price on it somewhere

I know you said you don't like pastes, but I've always liked this stuff:

I need to clay bar and wax the Wagon this fall. Not looking forward to that!

Just drive faster in the winter blows the shit off of it :)

Just put a coat of mud on it! Or you could just use Meguiars wax!

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Alright, I forgot to order the Adams and tomorrow is the only day I can spend claying and waxing the truck. Does anyone know of a place in the OKC metro that sells high end wax? I want to use something better than Meguiars but not some $50 bottle stuff either. Suggestions on what to get and where to get it locally?

Found them on the Adams site. Might be good!

fuck, OK doesn't mean OK on the Adams site I guess! He's in Arkansas........

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

No worries. Got some information from a local Corvette guy (Jeff Goodman, for you local guys. Yellow Corvette at every C&C) for a guy that sells Zaino products. Even better, he works two blocks away from the jail! I'm heading over after I get off since he keeps product in his car for just this type of situation.

spiffy

Let me know how it works out for you, because I need something that will fix clear coat issues and really make it shine.

[0212353]

wax isn't going to fix a clear coat issue...........especially if its NEW clear.

Whats up with yours? Maybe just needs a good color sand and buff?

This will sound shittier than I mean it to, but the only way to fix your clear is to re-do it.

[ramthis9501]

We did color-sand and buff it last week and it looked AMAZING for about a day... Now the clear coat is showing up white on the tailgate, tonneau cover and a few different spots... Your probably right Dave. I was hoping wet sanding it would fix it but nothings easy... Oh well. I'll probably get it re-done in the spring.

I need to clay the r/t worse than a whore needs to go church

2 1/2 years in now and mine's never been waxed.. looks just fine!

[fastnnuffrt]

Looks is one thing actual condition is another

[918Dodge]

Then come wax mine :)

Trust me...Jesse's truck needs it first. He would probably pick up two tenths in the quarter if he just waxed it and lessened his drag.
