  2. Last week I setup a camera to film my entire wash process from start to finish, mainly at the request of a customer who had seen how my black Avalanche had looked thru most of its life. He has been struggling to keep his black truck swirl free and wanted to know how I did it. What better way than to just show the process, start to finish? Obviously I've sped this up so you don't have to watch me wash a truck for an hour+, but it is uncut... every part... how I wash my rides every time to minimize swirling. Please... any questions feel free to ask. Also, this is an ever evolving process as anyones wash routine should be. When you see an area for improvement GO FOR IT! So why 3 buckets? I started to notice that in some of my washes the 2nd bucket was still getting a fair amount of grit in the bottom. Wanting to eliminate the chances it made it back to the paint I added a 3rd bucket with another grit guard. My goal is to have ZERO contamination by the time I make it to that last bucket. Bucket 1: Pure water. this is used to scrub loose the majority of the debris. The wash media is scrubbed against the insert, combed thru with my fingers and given a quick visual inspection. Bucket 2: Pure water. This bucket gets much the same process as the first, once again scrubbing against the grit guard, pulling out of the water and inspecting for debris. Bucket 3: Water with soap. When your wash mitt reaches this bucket it should be clean and free of debris minimizing your chances of swirling. Make sure the mixture is heavy and a thick later of soap is created at setup. You'll also notice the addition of a foam gun to the process. I'd like to stress this is NOT a requirement, but more a thing of convenience. Using solid technique you can perform a proper swirl free wash without a foam gun... it just makes it faster/easier. Also, before anyone says anything - the gun I'm using is actually from the pre-china gilmour days... I've had it for awhile. The process itself is pretty basic. Start with the wheels as always. Rinse really well before introducing soap. Foam the vehicle completely. Merino Wash Mitt for the upper 2/3rds working 1 panel with each side of the mitt. Rinse. Inspect. Rinse. Inspect. Prime and repeat. Switch over to 2nd wash mitt or pad for lower 1/3rd following same process. Optional - Foam the vehicle again anywhere the soap may have started to dry. Power rinse with a strong stream from the hose. Sheet rinse to reduce standing water. Blaster Sidekick to knock loose bulk of remaining water. Great White Drying Towel + Detail Spray to dry Hit again with Blaster Sidekick to get water out of cracks. Touchup with Great White + Detail Spray Waterless Wash + Waterless Wash Towel for door jambs, engine bay, and wheels. Total time start to finish for this wash was 1h 17m

  5. I have my doubts its an SS... larger wheels hardly proves anything. It may very well be just a test to see how the truck will handle upgraded wheel packages available as OEM options. The stance doesn't look all that different to me than a box stock RCSB truck... rear end way up in the air. I hope they do, but don't have a lot of confidence it'll happen, especially at the introduction of a new platform. GM has a tendency to roll out packages like that a few years in, not right out of the gate, as with the TBSS, and last gen SSS.

  9. Friday 3/30 thru the weekend - NEW! Adam's Pro-Grade Detailers Extension Cord at an Introductory Price! Regular Price: $79.95 Daily Special Price: $69.95 SILVERADOSS PRICE: $62.96 Don't forget to use your forum discount code to receive the additional savings! This isn't just some extension cord... this is the mother of all cords, built in the USA with detailers in mind! 12/3 Gauge Cord: At a 50ft length most tool manufactures recommend a 16 gauge cord... 14 would've been better, but if its worth doing - do it right... we went all the way to a 12 gauge cord so power will never be an issue for your car dryers, polishers, vacuums or other detailing tools. Using too small a cord for the run can result not only in lowered performance from the tool, but overheating and damage! With this beast of a cord that'll never be a concern. Integrated GFCI: Sometimes we forget to think about safety in our own garage... you feel comfortable there, but it only takes one accident to make things go horribly wrong. Since detailing is often a 'wet' activity either from the wash itself or water dripping and pooling in your garage after a wash it only makes sense to use a ground fault circuit interrupter. As a cord dedicated for detailing we made sure this is integrated into the head of the cord so you don't have to worry about it! If you use the Universal Pad Washer or any of the car dryers this is almost a necessity. Waterproof: Taking the safety aspect further the terminations at the GFCI and female ends are both water tight. The cord wrapping is also water proof to make sure shorting out is never an issue. No splash, inadvertent spray from the hose, or spill will risk you or your tools safety! Industrial Grade: The exterior insulation coating is over 2.5x thicker than that used on your average extension cord. That means its more abrasion resistant as well as cut resistant. If this cord gets run over, pinched, dragged, scraped, no matter what... it will hold up to the abuse! Included Cord Keeper: If you're like me you're very much an organization freak when it comes to your supplies. We include a heavy duty plastic cord keeper to wrap your cord up after each use. Pinch clips hold the male and female ends secure so theres no tangles when you're ready to use it again. Guaranteed for Life: Just as our 110% lifetime guarantee applies to tools, it applies here as well. We're confident this will be the last extension cord you ever buy. Engineered specifically with detailers in mind you'll find all kinds of uses for this extremely well made cord in your garage.
