  1. I know this is an older thread but man... I miss Quick Sealant!
  2. I've been using graphene tire dressing and have been pleased with it... but as a previous original VRT lover, how does the new graphene VRT compare to the tire dressing? Is it product consistency? The appearance?
  3. That's a good tip, thanks! I hadn't thought to "prep" the driveway before hand but it makes sense.
  4. Not really a vehicle question, but... I wash my vehicles in the same spot on my driveway, and based on the stain locations, it's very clear that either my wheel cleaner or tire/rubber cleaner are staining the driveway. I've tried just blasting the stains off with a pressure washer and had no success. Any product you'd recommend? (The driveway is asphalt, and the stains are a contrasting light grey.)
  5. I recently bought a used ATS-V. I was happy with every aspect of the car except for the wheels. I used all of my Adam's wheel products and still had stains/water spots that wouldn't come off. I even tried some distilled white vinegar, and that didn't work either. Finally, I decided to use my drill with the Adam's mini pads and Adam's polish. I'm extremely happy with the results. Before and after pics attached!
  6. I apologize if this has been answered in the past... A few weeks ago I did a full detail on my '15 STI to include my first application of Adam's ceramic paint and trim coating. It's time for the first wash now though... Which car wash would be recommended, the shampoo or the wash & wax? I feel like my whole routine may be changing... I used to dry with detail spray and put on some Patriot Wax or use the H20 G&G to dry...
  7. I'm holding out for an Adam's solution... I bought the Flex from Adam's, because of their recommendations at the time. Kind of disappointed to come onto the site the other day looking to purchase new pads and not being able to.
  8. LOL - kind of funny that I don't have a pic in the avatar. Ok, two pics added.
  9. Yesterday evening I returned home from work to find a package from Adam's that I ordered as part of the Black Friday sale. It wasn't a large order by any means (just under $150 after my black Friday discounts), but imagine my surprise when I saw bottles, towels, and applicators that I had not ordered. Several years ago I mistakenly received someone else's order and thought this may have happened again... until when I went through the box and noticed things were marked "free product" and were actually listed on my invoice at $0.00. It sounds funny, but the items don't even appear random. It's like whoever put them in there looked at my order history and said, "Hmm, he's probably low on this. Let's throw that in there too." The way my luck normally is I will order gallon refills and a few days after placing my order they show up on the daily special. This was a very pleasant surprise. I just wanted to say "thank you" to the Adam's crew and a belated Happy Thanksgiving. Keep up the outstanding work. Shawn (Adam's loyal since 2008)
  10. I nearly made a similar mistake. While doing my paint correction, I was moving onto the fine machine polish. I put the white pad on my flex, put a few pea sized drops onto the pad... then sat there and looked at it for a second. It looked off to me for some reason. I picked up the bottle and realized I had just put SVRT onto the pad. Fortunately I didn't use it!
  11. A quick back story: My brother in law Frank is the singer for "The Streetlife Serenaders", an acoustic Billy Joel tribute band. I turned Frank on to Adam's products a few years ago, and help him out every summer when he does his paint correction. Two weekends ago he was playing at Ale Mary's in Scranton. I go to every show and he threw out a little surprise Adam's tribute in their rendition of Movin' Out (Anthony's Song). The sound quality is horrible because the place was packed, so you hear a lot of "atmosphere". I think this was recorded on my sister's phone as well, so it totally doesn't do them justice. Here's the clip on youtube for anyone interested: If you want to skip to the tribute, it's from about 2:00 - 2:12. And for those that want to know exactly what it is, the line was supposed to be "at least he can polish the fenders". Instead he sang, "at least Shawn can Adam's the fenders". Shameless plug: if you like Billy Joel and are in the Scranton area, they are playing at Dooley's Pub & Eatery this Saturday (3/7). Even though I'm just south of Baltimore, MD - I'll be there.

  12. I haven't had any issues, and haven't had any engine work done unless you count regular maintenance. The only other thing done was the roof recall.
  13. Thanks Jeremy. I still think the hood looks awesome. I haven't painted it yet but was considering a few different ideas. What's sad is the last time the Z06 was driven, I didn't even drive it! I recently moved and a friend helped and moved the car for me. It was a rare opportunity for me to see it on the road; it looked incredible. I also had the lease on my daily driver end, so I have already purchased a replacement daily driver that is just fun enough I don't think I'll miss the Z06 too much.
  14. Thank you! I honestly felt like my price might have been a little on the high side, but that was probably me secretly wanting to keep the car... and wanting to leave some room for negotiation. I'm not sure I will ever own another black car either...
  15. Whoops, totally spaced on location. Sorry about that. If no offers come in I will keep the car and when the nicer weather hits... probably be happy I didn't sell it. The day I saw the new owner drive my 2002 Z06 drive away, I'm pretty sure a small part of me died.
