Decided to finally try out Adams product, found a near by Canadian distributor. Bought the Buttery car wax, In ant Out spray, Detail spray, Paint correcting and finishing polish and VRT dressing.

I've been a long time user of Zaino.

 

What kind of machine polisher are others using. There must be other polishers out there then the dual set up that Adams is selling and isn't as pricey.

Look into a griots garage polisher. I have a small 3" one and its nice. I also have the cyclo (pricey)

Once I start using the Adams product I'll have to write my experience with it compared to the other product I used to use.

 

Ryan I like that small polisher, must work well in hard to reach areas.

I took Ryan's advice and got the small GG polisher last year. I used it on both my Silverado and the wife's Sorento, and got good results. It definitely makes applying a coat of wax a breeze too. As for the Adam's stuff, I've used several of their products and have been pleased so far.

You will never go back. Once you use Adams products, you wonder how you ever used anything else.

Thanks for all the kind words.

 

There are budget polishers out there.

 

Griots as mentioned

 

Porter Cable 7424xp is a work horse of a machine and has been around forever - usually $125-$150

 

Theres even a polisher sold at Harbor Freight thats in this category thats under $100

 

Just keep in mind - things like the Cyclo, Flex, and Rupes polishers aren't priced the way they are for no reason - cabability, versatility, and quality comes with a price.

Just an update on the use of the Adams product. WOW this stuff is amazing and so easy to use. The In and Out spray is addicting it makes all the trim stand out also the VRT dressings doesn't fling off the tires even at 60 mph and one coat on the tires was enough. I used the detailer spray also on my truck and the wife's new Kia and it worked out well on both. Haven't used the wax yet but I'm sure it's going to be good also. Maybe next weekend if I have time.

dont try the undercarriage spray, you will want to drink it :lol: Its grape flavored

 

Also for the tires I highly suggest the new tire shine. Much better than SVRT. I have pretty much went away from the SVRT since the tire shine has come out

Ha ha that's funny! I love the way the In and Out is so easy and it gets into all the nooks and crannies. And the over spray just wipes off, I'm going to go through that stuff faster than anything else I have.

I see that Adams still has the 3 cans on special but the Canadian supplier near me doesn't offer that same special

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
