Default Cleaned up my King Ranch

Well finally set aside the majority of the day to get my truck polished and waxed for the winter.

Did a complete wash and got any tar off with Turtle bug & tar remover. Washed again. Used Collinite 840 Color-up Prewax cleaner to get any bad spots (use sparingly!) Clayed bar with Adam's Detail spray. Polished with Adam's Revive hand polish. Waxed with Adam's Buttery wax (and the wheels) Then good ole Collinite 845 Insulator wax. Cleaned all glass with Adam's Glass cleaner (I've used Stoner 's Invisible Glass and never have been 100% impressed) but this Adam's glass cleaner rocked, its the first time I used it and I was amazed.

Anybody know something really amazing to get a vinyl Tuxedo soft cover?

Sun was going down but a few pics:

Truck looks very nice and clean. If you are asking what to use on the tonneau cover, I use 303 Aerospace Protectant. I spray it on and wipe it over my cover then wipe off excess. The stuff is amazing.

Looks nice, man. All those hours of work would have been well served by spending 60 seconds driving the truck across the street into the sun for the photo! Sunlight is your photo-friend!

Looks good though. I'm jealous. I've had a few mishaps with my truck and it's ruined the fun of a good wash-n-wax.

Our SVRT is AMAZING for your vinyl soft cover (Adam's). Nice satin finish, deep conditioning. You'll probably only NEED to apply it about every 3-4 washes...lol...but will WANT to apply it every time, lol. Preciate the love on all the other Adam's products you use!! Truck looks good bud.

Didn't even see that when I was ordering. My son got me a gift card for Adam's. Never heard of them before but so far been impressed with their products. Any idea how Collinite 845 compares to Adam's Brilliant Glaze?

I really love the look of King Ranches, especially after a good wash. Looks good!

Where do you get the Adams products? Online only?

Oh on the inside, I cleaned the leather with Adam's Leather & Vinyl cleaner than rubbed in with my bare hands with King Ranch leather conditioner. Put it on thick and really massaged and rubbed it into the leather. I use my hands because otherwise too much is absorbed by a towel and I want it all going to the leather. Love how it smells when you are all done.
