What are you looking for?

 

Looks? Ease of Application? How long it lasts? Cost?

Probably ease of application and how long it last. I don't mind spending some coin if it last a long time but i don't want to spend 5 hours waxing either.

the longest lasting wax i have ever used is collinite 845. Great stuff and its cheap (like $15 a bottle.)

I too like Adams, my truck hasn't been waxed in over a year and it's still beading. I will get to it as soon as the major home projects are complete!

 

I have the porter cable polisher, big time saver with no worry of burn through.

Do you think I can find that Collinite wax at the local auto parts store? Any hints or tricks also i should be aware while useing it or any wax. (Kinda new to waxing first new truck want to do it right)

Apply Collinite VERY, VERY THIN! It last pretty darn good and gives a nice shine! I applied it on my truck right before winter and it is beading still!

I use Meguiar's NXT Gen. Tchx wax 2.0... Goes on easily, removes easily, and doesn't leave a white film on the black trim. It can be found at just about any auto supply store.

I used Meguiar's Tech NXT 2.0 wax the first time I waxed my truck, goes on easy & comes off easy. Good results.

 

But, now I use Adam's & I love it!

Agreed. I picked mine up at advanced auto parts.. made the SSS look (.Y.) Will be putting a nice coat on the new truck soon.

    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
