Dear lord....I need an excuse NOT to spend more money on Adam's - you aren't helping me, Chris! LOL.

Awesome - thanks, Chris. That definitively tells me what I needed to know (i.e. someone my dad's size or larger actually using the stool). Appreciate it! Thanks again to everyone who responded!

I certainly hope so, Chris! Thanks, Brian - that's reassuring!

Thank you, Rich - I appreciate your input. I also got the trunk organizer for him as well and will prefill it with a few bottles of product & some MF towels.

Hi, all- I was just wondering if anyone knows an approximate weight limit for the wheeled detailing stool. I hurried up & made a purchase during the current sale with the intention of giving the stool as a Father's Day gift. But after making the purchase, it occurred to me that my dad is a big guy - pushing 300 lbs - and that I should have asked this question prior to buying. I just saw that the stool was height-adjustable and initially focused on that feature because he's also very tall. I can always keep the cart for myself if need be (not the worst option by any means ), but figured I'd pose this question to the Forum in advance of my dad possibly breaking the stool and then none us being able to use it. Thanks in advance!

Happy Thanksgiving, all! Just wanted to give a shout-out to Grabiak Chevrolet in New Alexandria, PA. I'm in the area for the holiday and forgot to bring my Adam's supplies with me (not only for my own personal use but I wanted to detail my parents' vehicles as well while I'm staying at their house). I was very happy to see that Grabiak's is a distributor that is only about 10-12 miles away. So I swung by the dealership on Tuesday....was greeted by a very friendly & helpful staff....and was quite excited to basically see a separate Adam's shop adjacent to their showroom. They pretty much had everything - including the new ultra foaming shampoo, hand wash, holiday detail spray & holiday interior detailer. Even though I live out of the area, the staff suggested that I sign up for their loyalty program - which gave me an automatic $15 off of my order. Nice! So if anyone is in southwest PA and looking to pick up some Adam's products, stop by Grabiak Chevrolet on Route 22 in New Alexandria - they are really great!

I'm late in posting an update, but the Visco clay bar & Revive w/ blue hex-grip applicator completely removed the black scuff from my door. And from what I can see, they didn't introduce any swirls or marring of my paint, so I'm thrilled with the results! Thanks again for the input here & thank you to Adam's for top-notch products that work well with minimal effort!

Goo Gone - there's something that I would've never even thought of. Thank you, Chris!

Thanks for the input, Trevor & Michael - I appreciate your responses. I'll give it a go (probably Saturday) and hopefully I'll be able to remove it myself. Thanks again!

Edit: Sorry - right after I posted the following, I realized that it probably should have gone under "Paint Correction & Polishing". My apologies! Hi, all. So as I left work today and walked out to my car in the parking lot, I found a nice, black scuff smack in the middle of my rear passenger door (I didn't take a pic but can do so tomorrow if that will help guide any responses). Needless to say, this discovery was immediately followed by loud profanity - and I guess I'll find out tomorrow if anyone from the HR dept. was within earshot. Anyway, there fortunately isn't a dent in my door. As I ran my hand over the scuff mark, it felt smooth. I even gently took my fingernail across it - I couldn't feel any roughness or catching. Based upon this, I'm hoping that the mark is confined to just the surface. My question is this - I do not own an orbital polisher (nor have I ever used one). I do, however, have a new Visco clay bar, a bottle of Revive and a blue hex-grip applicator. Do you guys think those products might help? If so, would you recommend one over the other or would I be better to use both (i.e. clay first followed by Revive)? Any input would be appreciated. If at all possible, I'd like to avoid the dealership and paying out the wazoo if this is something that I can possibly do myself. Thank you in advance.

Hi, Shane - and welcome from a fellow Yinzer! (I was born & raised in the Monroeville area & then lived in Moon before moving to MI a few years ago). Anyway, nice-looking CX-5 and you're definitely in the right place when it comes to keeping your ride like new!

While I'm quite excited about the prospect of new products (especially a Pumpkin Spice Interior Detailer) AND a 15% off sale, my wallet has officially threatened to file a restraining order against me if I continue to subject it to such financial abuse.

Thanks, Lenore, for the tips! I am definitely going try it out!

Yep - what Eric said! It really does make a car "pop" with shine. I haven't tried it yet on my interior windshield, but that's on my "to do" list!

No - Revive is still available. Plus, the two products have very different primary functions so they aren't interchangeable.
