Agreed!  Do a slo-mo the next time you see a Race Deck commercial and look for the garage with the Adam's posters!

It does take a little while to get your head around it ("what do you mean don't use the hose first!").  I am the opposite of you, and more like Mark^, as I rarely us Car Shampoo any more.  
I wash in the garage, airplane hangars, where ever.  I have several customers with older cars (60's & 70's muscle cars to pre-war cars) and they do not like hose washes on their cars because of the possibility of water collecting and causing rust.  Since they are garage kept Rinseless is an easy choice.
The kicker for me is the speed - I can do a rinseless was on the wife's car in under 25 minutes!

They use to be but that changed about 6 years ago. Rather than having a set in stone set up where you make X and have to do X, they now negotiate deals with vendors, and then the vendors employees make the deliveries. Now that is starting to change as well. Kansas Supreme Court just said that the vendors employees are FedEx employees as well. If this stands, other states will follow suit, and they will have to change completely. My assumption is they dont want this as it will most certainly lead to unionization.
 
Way off topic sorry.

Ordered mine late Tuesday afternoon, and scheduled to get here Tuesday. A one week turn around from CO to TN, Ill take it. I also placed an order with one of the big dogs, and haven't received a confirmation email let alone any shipping info.
 
Adams big selling point is value. You guys are not the cheapest, but the equation of price+quality+customer service is second to none.

I want to see it to where you guys have a 28 ft. pup left at the overhead door every day.

3M #06529 (3/4 inch) Precision Masking tape is similar the tape Adam's carried.

Looks like someone broke into the warehouse last night.....
 

I attended the Goodguys Florida Nationals.  We took the 1912 American Race Car, and it was very well received!  There were tons of great looking cars and trucks (sorry my camera is not working so no pictures), but I did get to meet the owner of this fantastic, award winning Nova::

 
The car is even better in person, with tons of custom touches.  Here is a link to a write up with lots more pictures - http://www.chevyhardcore.com/features/car-features/steve-tornaris-miranda-built-1967-nova-street-machine-of-the-year/

Had dinner at Jimbo's Pit BBQ.  The wife approved and enjoyed it.  Thanks mc2hill for the recommend.  

I actually placed another order shortly after I finished putting on the paint sealant with the PC. I ordered an orange, white, red and another gray pad along with a bottle of paint finishing polish. I plan on doing my wife's Tahoe sometime next week using only the PC, I think my days of hand polishing/waxing are over.

I purchased the $70 from HF polisher and got Adams 6in backing plates and the 7" pad & polish kit. Plus the drill attachment and some pads. Another $169 to Adams and picked up $150 of stuff yesterday too. That should be it for a while. Here is a picture of the power washing station I made. Almost done. Lining up all the Adams stuff now.

Nice write-up Dan.  
 
I start with a very damp towel, and found using the same section of the towel built up product and make it easier to use as I went along.

Goodyear Black Rubber Hose.

Can't wait to use it on my new 2015 Sublime Challenger SRT 392 being delivered on Thursday!!!! It's unfortunate it won't be here on Thursday but I will live!!!! I will post pictures.

I tape emblems, vinyl trim, and window & sunroof weather stripping - anything that can tear or dirty my pads,  
As for panel seams, I start polishing the farthest point from the gap and work towards it, so the excess polish is on the paint and in the pad by the time I get to the seam.  I taped the seams the first few times I polished before learning this technique.  

Happy Birthday Chris!

I would try the MF cutting pad and the new polish before upgrading polishers.  I have had very good results on Corvette's with this combo.

A quick follow-up: I built the DIY LED rig and it is beyond scary what it reveals!  I will do a build thread soon.

Today while wiping the Dart down with detail spray:
 
Wife: Did you wash your car today? 
Captain Slow: Mmmmhmmmm.
Wife: What, did it have a speck of dust on it?
Captain Slow: Yeah...and?
Wife: You have a problem.
Captain Slow: What? (Looks at car thinking he may have missed a spot.) Where? (Looks even harder, gets low to look even closer, face almost on paint)
Wife: You have a sickness.
Captain Slow: No. I feel fine, it's probably just allergies.
Wife: (Looks at Captain Slow, looks at incredibly clean and shiny Dart, shakes her head and walks back in house.)
Captain Slow: (Shrugs shoulders and continues to look for missed spot.)

Could this possibly be easier?  Took me 15 minutes longer than my normal 2 bucket wash/dry. As shown in the video 3 sprays per panel, let dwell for a few seconds, spread with damp towel, dry with dry towel. I did actually save a few minutes due to no pooling rinse done. 
 
What I liked best? No buffing required!
 
After completion I had a couple "spots" that weren't removed with the drying towel. One wipe with the damp towel, one wipe with the dry was all that was needed.
 
I actually sealed my car and added gloss in 15 mins without the use of a DA? Dare I say, "So easy a caveman could do it"?
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Just so they are not hammered with product, put them in a gallon size ziplock bag and you should be ok

I have to say, I've only been around the Adams product line for less than a year and I'm amazed.  Everything is easy to use, and everything does what its supposed to do.  It all has a precise purpose, and executes it flawlessly.  Now the HGG is out and holy crap.  The wet method is fast and easy to use, and the dry method is also as good as you'd expect.  The gloss, the beading of the product is unmatched.  This is an easy way to get that Adam's Shine!!

SS wasn't very dirty, but needed to be preped for C&C tomorrow so I did a Rinsless wash followed by HGG (dry method).
Easy to use, had to guess at how many panels the initial application would cover before I had to reload. I did not see any hjazing as the product dried. I assumed I wasn't using enough so I added a couple squirts every couple panels.
Left a good shine, and I could tell the surface was smoother because my RW drying towel would drag a bit but slid nicely after the HGG.
I would do a second coat but don't have time right now.
 
Looking forward to seeing how much protection it adds!
 
 
Mods, please move this to the Testimonials section. Dang trifocals.

Put a little bling in the motor today and polished it all up with some Patriot Wax. Looks great!
