Default Adam's Says Good Bye To The Salt

well it has been a solid 2 months of not washing my car and it was drivin me nuts. the weather finally broke this weekend in Ohio and it was in the 40's so i figured i would finally get the ol GXP a nice wash and put on some wax. i used Adam's car shampoo, Americana wax, brilliant spray glaze, VRT, and invisible undercarriage spray. i cant wait to get my summer rims back on. hope you enjoy the pics!

the line up of product.



look at all that nasty dirt and salt.







so many suds lol



after the wash









some interior shots after i cleaned and conditioned the leather

Looks great, and I like the mudflaps too. I live in New england and should have gotton them as soon as I picked the car up. Did you get them from the dealer or gm parts direct?

Molded are "better" (higher quality and more durable) and more expensive.

They look great on my GXP.

$39.45 a set from monsterpartsonline. You'd want two sets. They are for the rears but due to our larger/wider front fenders, they fit perfectly.

Adam's makes some alright product, a good friend of mine used to distribute for them until I turned him on to Menzerna, Klasse, and Optimum.

And as a friendly side note, turn down the ISO on your camera, the pictures are coming out way grainy.
