I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Well gents, today was a day of days. I gave my truck a needed detail. 10 hours later the paint and wheels are ceramic coated, the trim and tires are polycarbonate coated, and the interior surfaces and carpet and seats are nano coated as well [emoji28]

Total noob to detailing and having a new truck so.... any/all recommendations? I'm used to the "buy car soap, get a good sponge, get a bug sponge, and a wheel brush and go to town" mentality. Other than using Armorall cleaning supplies and tire foam. I've never even applied wax to a car before because I've always had used vehicles.

No worries! Aren't we all at some point?! Now there's a few steps that go into washing properly. And drying properly!!! All to avoid scratches. Now you always wash with two buckets (1 for soap and 1 for rinse water do you don't keep reintroducing dirt onto your paint). And one bucket for wheels and only wheels. Never use anything you use to clean or touch your wheels with on any other part of your car except maybe engine bay. Wash top down saving dirtiest parts for last and dry with a nice damp microfiber towel and a big dry ultra plush microfiber towel. Working one section at a time (top down) spray a quality detail spray on a panel and wipe 90% of the water off with the damp towel and finish with the dry one. Super basic but here's a link for you to get started and you should really watch this guys vids to learn more!

 

And when it comes to waxing you definitely should clay your paint first with a clay bar. It is important to cleanse your paint on a new car because there's a lot of ferrous metal deposits like railway dust embedded into your paint from transportation. And then protect it. Keep watching some vids he's got on YouTube and you'll be well on your way!

I love chemical guys products! As far as the coatings I use a few different types. I have in the past used chemical guys second skin 6 which looks very nice and is easy to apply but I don't feel it has the advertised longevity. I now use coatings from palm beach motoring group known on the web as Autogeek.net. For paint best bang for the buck is the McKees 37 (formerly detailers pro) paint coating which is awesome! I also use it on my wheels. I know there are dedicated wheel coatings but whatever its marketing. And for trim believe it or not you save a lot of money by using Wipe New which is a polycarbonate coating that really does last a long time and looks great. I also use Wipe New tires and that also lasts a long time through rain and everything.

And if you really wanna get crazy like myself, after the coating fully cures in 24 hours, next time I wash the truck I will be applying the Pinnacle ( the higher end line of products from PBMG) black label synergy wax which uses carnauba fused with ceramic coating technology to top it off

      And to top it off finally.......................these small GM LS engines are designed to SPIN!!!!!  Why choke them down to just off idle for cruising.  Why/how the "bean counters" have influenced the "engineering department" at GM is beyond me.   They took a solid platform of an engine and turned into a joke in OEM form!!!

      Atlas,   Then following your logic we can't believe any story that the MSM produces? I mean it's documented they heavily donate to Democrat candidates. Vote Democrat in high percentages. Many MSM talents are married to Democrat politicians, Gov. employees. That goes for on-air and off, personalities and reporters. So they would all be biased and nothing they produce is to be believed in your mind?   Again the article simply was about ways AI can be used for pricing products. Nothing discounted current situations as a factor.    Again keep looking through your left/right lenses. I don't live my life that way.   And as a heads up this thread will be cleaned up again as much of this is off topic and is receiving

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.
