I'm going to be doing a full inside and outside detail on my truck soon following all the @TheWolf 's recommendations. Just took stock of all my Adams supplies... while my girlfriend looked disapprovingly on hahaha, she just thinks I'm a hoarder anyways. But damn I'm excited to finally give my Raptor the full spa treatment, considering it's still 75 degrees in Florida every day!

I hope you set two days aside to get everything done. It can get a little time consuming. Plus when it comes to cleaning them are trucks are even bigger than you think lol. It's supposed to be 70 where I'm at tomorrow so I'll be doing the same thing as you. It needs it too I haven't cleaned it in almost a month because it's been cold and raining.

Good call. I was going to attempt to do it all in a day. Maybe I'll split up the interior and exterior on different days. My biggest thing is I want to make sure I allot enough time to strip wash and completely seal the paint back up in one session. Haha but yes these trucks are a LOT bigger than they seem, but I want to do it right.

Well you're on the right thread this is where I got all my info from and any questions I had i just asked Dan. He's a good dude and an alright teacher lol. Are you doing the paint correction also or just clay and seal? The paint correction from Adam's is awesome and took every scratch snd swirl out of my black paint.

Ahhhh I don't have the paint correction :( I guess I'm just doing the clay and seal this time around. But last time I did the big wash and HGG, the scratches were hidden quite well. When I do my next big detail I'll make sure to have the paint correction bottles. I have it planned for next weekend because this whole week I have to take a union mandated class for work, but if I have any questions I'll have to ask Dan!

Just for kicks though if I were to buy the paint polishing bottles, where in the detail process do they belong? Do they substitute for a sealant? Just wondering if I can buy them and just apply afterward, etc. @TheWolf
