So if seems that this Adam's place sells the stuff I need. Does anyone have a short list of must haves to get from there? I don't want to spend all day on the website trying to figure out what I need for the Raptor.
Car Wash Shampoo - need to use pH neutral soap so you don't strip off the sealants or wax. I use the
Wash Wedge, but you can also use a
Wash Pad. It is good practice to use two, one for the upper 2/3 of the truck where there is less dirt (usually), then a second one on the lower 1/3. A good way to keep them straight is to use the Wedge on the upper, and the pad on the lower.
Detail Spray - aids in drying, adds some shine. Use a good quality microfiber
waffle weave towel for drying. Do not use cotton towels, they scratch.
Quick Sealant - covered pretty well in this thread, just make sure you always level it out with a
foam applicator or a microfiber towel before it dries. For most areas, I spray the applicator and then use that to apply to the surface, other complex areas like the grill and wheels, I spray directly on the surface, then use a towel to level it. A little goes a long way. Do not spray so heavy that you get drips. Definitely watch the
video on this product.
Liquid Paint Sealant - a long lasting layer of protection, makes cleaning much easier. Apply with a
Hex Grip Applicator, remove the haze with plush microfiber towels like the
Double Soft or the
Borderless Gray.
Tire Shine - looks good, keeps the tires sealed up so they don't get stained with mud. Apply with the
Pro Tire Hex Grip Applicator.
