  1. With the foam cannon am I supposed to spray foam on and rinse off, or can I leave the foam on and proceed with my two bucket wash? For clarification, should I rinse the foam off before using a wash mitt on my finish?
  2. Same here, I have a bottle and will buy more if its just here just for a limited time, but if its back for good. I will wait.
  3. Is the UFS back for good, or is this a limited amount again this go round?
  4. Your buckets are up, I passed on the bucket, but did get a foam cannon with the discount code!
  5. I don’t know that your clear and the clear of the adams bucket are the same. The bucket above looks 100% transparent. However the adams bucket looks like their normal colored mystery bucket. More so white than clear. Hopefully you are correct however, would be pretty cool!
  6. I checked my premium gun today and to my surprise the barrel is indeed plastic.
  7. "a CNC-machined barrel out of solid plastic", --------you sure about that? I could have sworn it was aluminum.
  8. I also use Eco All purpose Cleaner diluted 50/50 with distilled water. I use the below cheap waffle weaves from ebay, save my good adams waffle weaves for other uses. Waffle Weave
  9. Yes it was the revell kit however it was molded in white. I used a grey primer. I agree. Getting heavy on the paint and some of the detail disappears quick.
  10. I like how you think. My exact regimen that I used today to clean my truck.
  11. Finally had a decent day to do a two bucket wash. So I busted out the red throwback shampoo and had a go at it. I can’t stress enough, if your an adams user you have to experience the smell of the throwback shampoo given the chance. I love the smell.
  12. I wonder if this is proline stuff? Or maybe a boost wax for ceramic sealed cars/trucks.
  13. Thanks Jeremy, my Dad has helped me far more than I have helped him on teaching me things, so this was one way I could give back.
  14. Fox bodies are sweet. Bet it’s a fun build. Someday I will have a hot rod, for now my diesel is as close as it gets. I will add updates of the C10 as I get time to work on it.
  15. Thanks Mark, that is the kind of things that happen when you cant afford a real hotrod and have to make replicas and its cold as heck out being winter lol. My dream truck is a 68 Chevrolet C10, 2 wheel drive, short wheel base with an 6.0 LS motor. I am making the below truck with a 12 valve Cummins motor. I have way too many hobbies
  16. I have the below pressure washer: 3200 PSI. Simpson Pressure Washer I was given the below info on pressure for using the Foam Cannon: "max rating of 3190psi for our Red Foam Cannon " I use my pressure washer for pressure washing my house as well as under my vehicles as needed. I would suggest getting a smaller one that is in line with the pressure rating of the foam gun. In this case a larger pressure washer with max PSI is not the best.
  17. Try some brilliant glaze it seems to make everything look better . How did that happen?
  18. Thanks Rich. It was fun to build.
  19. Yeah he was. He thought it was the coolest thing ever. I put it on his desk at work and didn’t tell him and he noticed it same day. Without the black spots it would have just been another blue camaro.
  20. Thanks, I was on the fence about it, however in the end pretty sure I made the right call.
  21. I wanted to show you guys/gals a car I did for my dad. It is a 69 Camaro 1/24 scale. My dad owns a real Camaro and its a project in the works so I made a version of his how it sits now, to keep him motivated to keep moving forward. The car is very clean however has some rust in the drivers side rear quarter panel and a few other spots. The last paint job on the car was a cheap paint job by the previous owner and has spots that is peeling. My dad thought it best to use black spray paint to go over the peeling spots. The motor is a 383 stroker and has a Muncie in it. As of now he just enjoys driving it and is somewhat close to retirement so I think the plan is to wait until that point to really dive into it. The 1/24 scale car is base coat/clear coat. I laid down 4 coats of color, 2 mist coats and 2 wet coats: 1 wet coat was due to a run. I wet sanded with 2000, 6000, and 10000 grit sandpaper and used Adams Car Shampoo while wet sanding to keep the paper slick, it worked like a charm. I then applied 3 coats of clear, 2 mist coats and one wet coat and wet sanded just like on the color coat. I used Novus plastic polish at this point to create a little deeper shine and finished off with Adams paint sealant and brilliant glaze for added gloss + protection. The car is not and exact duplicate but pretty darn close. One thing that is blatantly obvious is the dual carb setup and only 1 air intake cleaner, 2 wouldn't fit under the hood but I didn't want to use the one that came with the kit. Current car: 1/24 version:
  22. Here is a link to Adams video section on their website: https://adamspolishes.com/video
  23. Never heard of Adams. Just kidding lol. Yes, Adams products have been tried and proven many times over. I must admit I have never used chemical guys to make a comparison, however for myself Adams makes it very easy to be loyal. CG has many products making a person lost in confusion trying to buy certain products, where you will find with Adams it is a less number of products making it much easier to find what you need. For me detailing is a hobby and I am VERY satisfied with Adams. I don’t find the need to look elsewhere.
  24. Hopefully along with it will come some of the Red Throwback Shampoo, in gallon form.
  25. Glad to hear it! GNG is easily in my top 2 Adam's products. It does produce an incredible shine.
