Detailed my Expedition

With hours at work being cut to a max of 40 hours for the winter, I've got Fridays off now so I took advantage of it and took my Expedition to one of our small but heated shops. I couldn't wash it inside though so I was forced to do thewash outside and the rest of it inside. The wash was fun. It was 23 degrees outside which I know isn't the time to wash a vehicle but after it sat for almost 2 months with a blown plug while I fought the warranty company I just couldn't stand it anymore. It hadn't even been washed since around Septemer. So anyway...

Adam's Car Wash
Air compressor dried all the spots that hold water
Clay barred with Adams Clay Bar and Adam's Detail Spray
Adam's Revive Polish with PC
Adam's Buttery Wax with PC
Adam's Brilliant Spray Glaze over all paint, chrome, glass and lights
Adam's Glass Cleaner
Adam's VRT (Vinyl, Rubber, Tire) on Tires, Interior panels/dash, rubber window trim, and exterior plastics
Adam's Leather and Interior Cleaner
Adam's Leather Conditioner
Adams Metal Polish #1 and #2 for the chrome






Sorry about the pics. They didn't come out as clear as I had hoped. I had planned on pulling it out of the garage for the pictures but by the time I was done it was dark outside. My camera wasn't taking good pictures with the flash on in the shop and they are a bit grainy I guess you could call it without the flash but I had no choice. I didn't take any interior pictures but I can if anyone wants.

I order them from Adam's Polishes Website. Unless you can find a dealer or something near you. Adam's website has a list of places that sell it. Usually higher end dealers have it, like Porsche dealers. I know a lot of Corvette dealers use it. There are no dealers near me so I have to order them and have them shipped. Which is fine by me. By the way, Adam himself if a real stand up guy. I've emailed him a few times and I've heard stories from others who have dealt with him that really surprised me. You can find him on some forums also. I'm getting off topic. Sorry. I'm done.

Thanks. The hood has some problems yet that I should have addressed while I was at it but I'll wait until it gets warmer out and I can do it outside. For now I'm just happy to have it all cleaned up and looking good again.
