  1. How hot does your garage get in the summer? I keep all of my wax/polymer products tinned and liquid in a small fridge in my garage. Everything else I just store in my cabinets through the year.
  2. From the never hurts to ask file...Any interest in selling or trading the '69? Shoot me a PM if you can entertain even the thought lol. Beautiful cars btw. I had an '09 HHR SS for a couple of years. Fast little car and handy as all get out.
  3. I'm really liking the new formula. I use it on non coated vehicles and it does seem to go on and off a little easier. Less streaky for sure. Far fewer spots I have to go back over with this new formula. The third pull "snot" effect has not changed but that is easily resolved with a better bottle/sprayer. I wish Adam's would consider shipping H2O with an "improved" sprayer if possible for those who don't know how much a switch improves application.
  4. I do this all the time with Adams and other cleaners. I usually dilute at 10:1 and mostly use it as a mist for brushes that I use on upholstery and carpets.
  5. My personal opinion is that H2O and CB don't play nice with SOME other product that may still be on the vehicle. When I first started using H2O I had a very similar experience. Just streaked and laid on the surface like snot. After complete strip and then laying down lps the H2O goes on smooth as silk and flashes right off. My take away was that the wax from another company was what initially caused the weird reaction. Have you taken your vehicle to a pay and spray or no touch auto wash recently? I think some of their "wax" and soaps can cause havoc with certain products.
  6. Was this an Adam's branded bike? Or was it a Schwinn bike from Adams personal collection? Any pics?
  7. The RW starter kit is one of the best deals on the Adams site imo. 5 DS towels 1 16 oz rw 1 bucket with seal lid 1 dilution bottle with a great spray nozzle Anytime I want to order any DS towels I just get myself one of these kits. Love the dilution bottle for H2O GG, APC diluted and others also love the RW for all kinds of things...door jambs,under hood and so on. And who can't use an extra bucket. Welcome to the forum!
  8. I would guess that the appliqué is what requires dry cleaning.
  9. Red Drip Logo Bucket MB Red SK MB Four Bottle BFLE sets for $40
  10. Just my two cents but I'd avoid any electric heating in an uninsulated garage. That thing would cost a fortune to run in my opinion.
  11. He does. It is confusing. The SEMA description says water activated clear as day though.
  12. Due to the nature of my work I've averaged between 70-80,000 miles per year for the last 23 years. I learned long ago the huge value in a dependable old DD. I get more excited finding a low mileage older gem like a crown Vic that some grandmother is letting go of than I do when I buy a new car 😃 This winter I'll drive a 2003 Expedition while my 18 Silverado sits nice and clean in the garage out of the salt. DAMN salt!
  13. Does the value go up if they get divorced? If they call off the engagement do you have to return the gift? Don't forget to tip your waitress...
  14. I'm sorry I'm new to ceramic coating and still debating whether I want to go that route. But. Are You applying three coats of ceramic on the paint? Is that typical for ceramic applications? At what point is the diminishing returns? Third coat? Fourth coat? Does the second coat apply easier or more difficult than the first? Sorry for all the questions just curious. Thanks
  15. I love mine. The wheels are bigger than typical and roll very easily across my older rough flooring. The seat is also very large and offers good support for larger guys. I would definitely purchase this seat again.
  16. attach the hose to the wand that came with the sunjoe then attach the foam cannon to the end of the wand. They both have quick connect fittings. If you attach the hose directly to the foam cannon how would that even work with no trigger? Do you have a snub nose handle?
  17. My guess is that it is getting too expensive and we are being weened off our free mints. Adam's took on outside investors over the last year and that's the kind of bottom line expense that gets scrutinized. I hope I'm wrong and it's a simple mint shortage. I have a half full jar and want to fill it. But I haven't gotten a mint for at least the last ten orders. No biggie. It was a nice little bonus ?
  18. I forgot. Your fenders are most likely painted steel aren't they. All my smaller JD stuff has always had steel stamped fenders and foot wells. I treat them just like clear coated painted steel.
  19. It depends on what year and finish your JD tractors have. Some of them, the more recent years are molded in color with a clear coat finish. These can be cleaned and waxed and even machine polished using same products as a clear coated car. Older years with the molded in plastic color hoods are not clear coated. They are best polished with products designed for plastic or plexiglass polishing. I've had great luck using Novus brand polish. Steps one and two usually do the trick. You can usually find Novus products at your local Harley Davidson dealer. They use it for the plexiglass windscreens. Makes them look new again ? If you are talking the real old stuff as in painted metal. If it's a factory finish still. Then just treat it like you would any single stage paint.
  20. That looks like a mock up to me. The finish on the sides is a bit rough with the gaps. Hopefully it's in design stage and we will see it in the future. I'm a buyer for sure if it sees daylight.
