Adams is good but they are damn proud of their stuff. I can't tell any difference between the results with their Americana Premium and Meguiars Mirror Glaze. I tried doing half of my hood with one and the other half with the other. Still can't tell any difference. Both came out excellent and the Meguairs is not 75 bucks.

Collinite 845 is the longest lasting wax I have ever used

I used Adam's Machine Super Sealant and the water was still beading well after a year of doing it. Just did it again last weekend, only the second time truck has been waxed since 2/2011. I like Adams but I also use the porter cable polisher.

Like you said a good sealant is the way to go topped by a good wax. Then regular maintenance

I like Adam's. I haven't wax my truck since last Summer, bc right now it needs a polishing job.

The Detail Spray makes it looks like its been waxed, when it rains, it still beads like crazy!

Kind of an odd comparison to make... a glazing product versus a carnauba wax... you do realize that a glaze offers no protection for the finish while a wax does? Thats like saying you don't like Taco Bell b/c their hamburgers aren't any good. LOL :D

Actually you are right. I went to my toolbox and looked. The Meguiars was something called Gold Class paste. Sorry for the brain fart. I also have mirror glaze along with a bunch of other Meguiars and Adams stuff. I know you are an Adams guy, but both worked very well.

 

EDIT... For the record I am quite a fan of Adam's products. I have a pretty good collection in my garage.

So... since you (who we have never heard of) say it's "the way to go" we should all just run out and buy it?

 

Dylan is that you? :rollin:

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
