Welcome to the sickness....
 
I started with a few items from Amazon. I don't live too far from the warehouse so I started making trips up there. Now I'm a number of mystery boxes and buckets in. Probably close to $2500 in product now. Don't see me stopping anytime soon.
 
The wife says it's my cocaine. I'd agree. I can think of worse things to spend money on. Like booze. Oops! I do that too. HA!

Welcome Ty...love them black cars
 

Anyone got any tips or tricks for me? Anything on any product

I joined the Adam's detailing family with the most recent clear mystery bucket.I've been wanting to get some of their products for quite some time; I've just been waiting on some better weather. 
 
However.. Upon waking up at 6AM on a Wednesday morning, to an ad on the mystery bucket I couldn't not hop on it! Ordered it right then and there, albeit the site was going under maintenance and my card didn't process.. Didn't realize till 4 o'clock 😂 Reordered, getting the cheapest shipping.. And here it is Friday afternoon! And yes, it's been snowing nonstop. So much for waiting for better weather!
 
So.. Here are my first impressions.
Mystery Bucket: $69.99 + $6.51 Shipping
It included:
5 gal Clear Bucket
Snap-On Bucket Seat Lid
Ultra Plush Drying Towel
Interior Scrubbing Mit
Single Soft Polishing Towel
16 oz. Eco Wheel Cleaner
16 oz. Eco All Purpose Cleaner
16 oz. Interior Detailer
16 oz. Ceramic Boost
16 oz. Car Shampoo
16 oz. Detail Spray
x5 Spray Nozzles
 
Now for the fun part, how it smells 👌🏼
 
The Eco Wheel Cleaner:
Smells exactly like play doh. I just happen to like play doh.
 
Eco All Purpose Cleaner:
Not quite sure what it smells like but it definitely smells good. Kind of smells like some shampoo I got from Hastings years ago lol
 
Interior Detailer:
I think it smells like a minty Windex. Still smells good, it's intriguing.. I believe Adam said it was Eukalyptus Mint, though.
 
Ceramic Boost: 
I have no idea what it smells like but it smells very familiar. Someone help me out! 😂
 
Car Shampoo: It smells like that Blueberry JellyBean shampoo. Also got that from Hastings, no regrets. Smells fantastic.
 
Detail Spray: Probably the most well known smell on here that is arguably one of the best: Strawberry Banana.
 
EDIT: Here's some pics
 

 
 

 
 

 

Chris thanks for providing a reliable and reputable source of energy for our country sir! 

Nice! For reference, the Ceramic Boost is pistachio; ID is eucalyptus mint, as you said; CS is actually wild berry; and DS is more strawberry milk, to me 😉. I'm glad you're happy! Just wait till you smell the WW, W&W, and UFS...and the GC, (old) HGG (don't care for the new one, personally, but it's Honey dew), UCS, etc ,etc... Just DO NOT smell the new CSC straight from the bottle!

If you got Instagram my username is the same as on here! Anyways here she is! Trying to make her glorious, the PO didn't treat her so well 😕

Nice ride Ty! I just sent you a follow on Instagram too!

Welcome to the forum!

Good looking Beemer. Black cars are a lifestyle, and you've come to the right place to get her all purdy!

Thanks Chris! I'm over on the Western Slope, few hours away from Moab, UT. Planning to move to or near the springs in a few years though.
 
That was a really informative thread, I'd opt for sealants and others to maintain protection over gloss. Daily driver struggle haha, maybe wax on top when weather stays consistent. Car lives outside 24/7 unfortunately..

Welcome TY!

Welcome to the addiction, Ty! Where in CO?

Welcome Ty!

No I don't think it will help with the reflection. If anything, it may enchance it because the glass will be super clear. It may be what you have on the dash now that super shiny? Anything on there?
