twobrosls Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I have a freshly painted black truck. Every time I wax my truck lint, dirt, pollen sticks to it immediately afterwards. I have tried zymal, mothers, turtle wax, cdn gloss boss... what am I doing wrong?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm110 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I love adams stuff. I recommend you check it out. Check out their forums too, lots of good info on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Adams buttery wax will be your best bet. Americana is there best wax but it also attracts dust and pollen. Any wax will attract dust and pollen, it the easy of removing the dust and pollen from the vehicle that separates good waxes from the bad ones.

bassmaster Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) I'd check out chemical guys, shine supply and the brand new Surf City Garage pro line before Adams. Adams is great, I almost have their full line, but it's very pricey. There's plenty equal or greater products out there for less. I currently use chemical guys 5050 paste wax on my black ss and I was blown away. Best I ever seen it, even better than when I polished it with Adams old polishes. Edit. I wouldn't recommend buttery wax, unless you don't mind waxing every month or two, tops. Yeah it goes on/off easy, but it's very thin and doesn't last long at all compared to a nice paste wax Sent from my Galaxy S-Fawhore Edited June 2, 2014 by bassmaster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 When you say lint are you referring to the lint left behind from the microfiber towel? If that is the case what I have noticed is after you wash a microfiber towel it tends to leave a lint behind on my paint and glass after using it to remove a wax/detail spray. Way to avoid that is always use a fresh microfiber or wash and do not use softener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elchivo86 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Chemical guys. Wash, clay bar, jet seal 109 and 50/50. Along with hybrid v7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobrosls Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I like to rub the truck, i give it a coat every two weeks.. I only use micro fiber towels so i think its just air born lint. I have also used surf city, its nice but i dont think its giving me the shine that gloss boss does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick@Adams Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 You're fighting an uphill battle with dust attraction with black, unfortauntley. Espcially if you want to put something on every 2 weeks. Carnauba will attract dust, and it will get worse as the carnauba content goes up which is usually the case with higher quality waxes. Our Buttery has some, Americana has a lot more, and Patriot has more than Americana. I'd recommend a synthetic sealant like our Liquid Paint Sealant. Almost zero dust attraction/static since it doesn't contain any carnauba, but still give a ton of gloss. Will last 4+ months before it starts to break down, so I'd suggest just giving a wipedown with Detail Spray a few times per week, and with every wash.

silverado777 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Also might want to look at the type of microfiber towels you are using and how you wash them. If you do anything other than let them hang dry you will produce static electricity. Make sure the towels you use aren't China junk either. If they stick to the imperfections on your hand they will stick to the imperfections on your paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using cheap microfiber towels you are going to have a bad time I highly recommend a couple of these: http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-494-adams-double-soft-microfiber-towel.aspx or these are a little cheaper but still good: http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-1020-new-adams-borderless-blue-microfiber-towel.aspx Adams towels are the best. Also microfiber towels should be washed on cold with a with a mild die free detergent, and you should wash them separate. They will last longer and wont create lint.
