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.

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.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
