Total Care Care kit?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Having just purchased a 2016 Denali HD, I would like to keep the interior as well as the exterior in tip top condition for the long haul.

Short of going with one of those expensive "Porcelain" paint treatments, is there a " trusted " care care product manufacturer that offers everything 1 need to keep the truck in as new condition as possible.

 

I have seen Zymol, Adams, Maguires and so forth but most people tend to use a mixture of products from differing manufacturers.

Is there a specific reason for this other than it's what the nearest auto parts store had on the shelf?

 

Does 1 manufacturer offer better interior protection while offering an inferior exterior protection and vice versa?

 

Do the higher dollar products actually offer a better, longer lasting product warranting the increased premium's?

 

Being a bit OCD, I would like to go with all the same product brand. Am I being a bit too anal about wanting to d so?

 

FWIW, the truck is Iridium metallic.

 

Thanks.

I have products from many different makes.

 

Turtle Wax

Mothers

Armor All

Meguiars

Zymol

Griots

Eagle One

 

 

 

There is a lot more to detailing a car than suds and a bucket.

I understand that, hence the reason I asked.

What is the reasoning behind the many differing manufacturers products? Does turtle wax out perform another manufacturers product in certain area's?

I have used this for years on the dash and anything black on the inside of my truck. I also use leather cleaner on my seats and there wash and wax car wash. Also speed shine is amazing!

My apologies for not following up.

Having taken eeryones advice, I decided to go with Adams Polishes.

Helpful forum and employees are what won me over. As well, the product speaks for itself.

 

I am awaiting my third order from them. 1st order was 2 mystery boxes, second order was supplies I needed but didn't get with the Mystery Boxes and third order was just to fill in the empty spaces. :drool:

 

Working on the Fourth order now. :fingersx:

 

Can't thank Bianca Urso @ Adams, enough. She was very professional, prompt and helpful in getting me straightened out with what I should start off with.

    • 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.  
    • 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.
    • you might read through the info on gmupfitter.com for your truck, to find a good power source.
    • Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally. 
    • Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
