Hey GM-Trucks Peeps,

 

Been a while since I have posted. Sorry!

 

Have a question that I know is debatable and opinionated to say the least. I have been looking at and researching Adam's Polishes and Pinnacle Wax and both seem to be very good products and American Made. I would like to know who has used one or the other or both. Also, were you pleased with the results that you got from said product/s. I am an amateur detailer who could use some good advice and schooling. I have used so much cheap, inexpensive, and Walmart-ish kind of products. One would think that a son of a retired auto mechanic would know better. For some reason all of those days of watching him work on cars, from full body work to custom building street rods to painting in a personal paint booth with his own mixing machine, would have sunk in. Well guess what, it didn't :(!!! So any advice would help guys, especially with the above 2 contenders. Let the battle begin! Not literally but would be fun to see a "wax off" demo at a truck show!

 

Thanks,

 

Ricky

Never used pinnacle, but have every other over the counter product and then some. I've switched to all Adams products and they by far are superior!

Well, I'll put something out there that you may not have considered - our 110% satisfaction guarantee.

 

If you decide to try our products and are anything less than completely satisfied with it we'll buy it back + 10% of what you paid.

 

I'm confident you'll find it stacks up well against any companies products.

My advise to you is join AdamsForums.com and see for yourself the great community and the top notch products and customer service from Adams. I have been a user of Adams for over 3 years and have no looked back since my days of using Meguiars or Mothers. Now dont get me wrong Mothers or Megiuars are good products for your normal consumer but if your looking into more superior products your looking for much better results than what your getting from OTC. You want to be noticed driving down the street or in a parking lot or a show for how your vehicle looks and get asked what do you use. I proudly rock an Adams sticker in my back window so people know what keeps my truck looking like it does no M product here period.

Or you can join Autogeek.net forum where you have pro detailers who uses all types of products which are and aren't better than Adam's but also best bang for the buck and equal to Adam's! A lot f guys there have real life experience with a lot of other products!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
