I decided to go crazy making my truck all shiny for the last two days. Yesterday I washed is then did the Adam's paint correction. Today I applied Adam's liquid paint sealant and the waxed it with Adam's patriot wax. Man my body is killing me. I think I need to start paying someone else to start detailing my vehicles. Lol. Hopefully the job I did passes @TheWolf test. Lol. If not I really wasted a couple of grand at Adam's.

It looks marvelous. I've given upon my Ebony black paint as it's pinstriped pretty bad. I need one of those scratch-proof wraps. Great job, did you use a polisher?

Looks killer shiny! That Patriot Wax is amazing, I put a coat on the truck Friday. The nice thing about using Liquid Paint Sealant as the base coat of protection is that you can cheat a little with the wax and not have to get too close to the plastic trim or into every little area.

Wrong poopface. :poop: it doesn't matter how much I cleaned my truck if I was driving and saw a dirt road I could go down I would think twice about hitting that shit. Granted when I was done I'd be all upset that I ruined all my hard work but I would still do it. Lol. Plus it's street king since I have a peter.

Thanks bro I appreciate it.

Ya I used two different machines. I have the Porter Cable(set up with 4" pad) and the Flex. I had a ton of light scratches all over my truck but Adam's paint correction kit was able to get every single scratch out. There were 2 deeper scratches that I had to use a 4" pad on my drill but I was still able to get them out. I can almost guarantee if you use the Adam's products you'll be able to make your truck look brand new. And if you have any problems just do like me and see if @TheWolf will be your detailing sensei. Lol. Joking aside I'm glad I saw his detailing thread and decided to try Adam's products. Especially since 80% of my vehicles are black because I'm an idiot.

^ Yep, if you're gonna take the time to do it yourself, it pays to use high quality products!

100% of my vehicles are black, because nothing looks better than shiny black!

Thanks I appreciate all your guidance. That de-ionizer worked awesome. It was so nice not having to rush around like a dummy trying to dry my truck before spots appeared. I have a question though I cleaned up all my pads but does the grey pad for the sealant ever wind up feeling like it did when it's new. I hit it with all purpose cleaner and rinsed it out about 10 times but you can still feel the sealant on the surface. I wish I didn't have OCD because I've spent the last 45 minutes just cleaning all my detail stuff up spotless. Lol. Also I ordered a bunch of pads from Adam's and one of the kits has a grey microfiber pad in it. What are they used for.
