Team Adam's Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 ... what would it be? Would you revamp an existing product? Would you come up with a whole new product? Lets hear your wildest detail product fantasies... no idea is too outlandish... you never know where it might lead. doombert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slava Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Revision to Green Wheel Cleaner. Maybe a bit stronger and also add the iron removing properties. Some kind of Rinseless wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpressThis13 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Boars hair brush for paint on a handle for those of us with trucks and suvs rather than dragging out ladders which if fallin could damage paint or yourself or opening the doors and stepping up to reach the roof and windshield by standing on the interior (not actually on seats but you know what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egott_91 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Definitely a product like Stoners Tarminator. Also, a product that is used to remove rust stain spots on the paint. I know there are a few members on here that use something that is like this. A decon wash? Not sure what its called... A compound like M105. Carpet brush for the PC. Air freshners in the scents of Detail Spray, Undercarriage Spray, Waterless Wash, Leather Conditioner, and Americana. Either in tree form or liquid ones. I think that's all I've got for now.

07RS4 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Revision to Green Wheel Cleaner. Maybe a bit stronger and also add the iron removing properties. +1. The GWC is one of the few Adam's products I don't use because of these vary reasons. I would imagine if the Adam's crew got a hold of it, it would no doubt be BA.

MichiganSRT8 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 definitely an iron x type product. Along with a compound like new menzerna 400 fast gloss to coincide with microfiber pads for the DA (which we have seen pictures of already ). Or a product stronger for wheels wells, like a thicker in and out but not a spray like undercarriage spray, the product loss from in and out is a bit of a problem that I hear from customers. But this is all extremes, and little tweaks, I love everything now : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camaro2ssblack Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Great thread idea! New Product Suggestions Rinseless Wash w/ Carnuba (concentrated) Waterless Wash w/ Carnuba (concentrated) Microfiber Correction System for PC (2-step) Concentrated APC Spray Wax Clay Alternatives AIO (One-Step) Polishing Product (Glaze/Polish/Seal) Final Inspection Wipe Product Permanent Coatings (Nano, etc) Strip Wash Shampoo Revamp Existing Products Polishes (simply not aggressive enough, too much dusting for the amount of cut, very oily which tends to cover defects) Pads (waaayyyy too big and thick for the PC, contributes to issues mentioned above) SVRT (not durable enough) Wash Pads (they scratch black paint after a few uses, had to stop using them) Microfiber Towels (we need color options to designate for each task, white is the worst color choice for many reasons) Last of all, somehow lower the price point on items like microfiber towels. Three packs of the other premium brands (with similar weight and blends) can be had for the price of a single Adams towel. Those savings simply cannot be ignored especially considering these items are not made in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) I have not used the iron-x type products yet, but I am getting a crew (4 door) RAM as my next DD and it'll be white. I think this product will work VERY well at removing the rail dust that I fought for years on my current white truck. Something a bit safer would be nice though. I notice it's not safe on chrome, and touch up paint areas like "Dr. Colorchip" and the like as well as wheel weights and brake calipers. WTH? Chris Last of all, somehow lower the price point on items like microfiber towels. Three packs of the other premium brands (with similar weight and blends) can be had for the price of a single Adams towel. Those savings simply cannot be ignored especially considering these items are not made in the USA. Is there anything you DO like? Are the "like" towels made in China or S. Korea? Chinese towels will ALWAYS be cheaper. Edited December 26, 2012 by Chewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those savings simply cannot be ignored especially considering these items are not made in the USA. Great suggestions. Have you tried using the Merino Wool Mitt instead of the standard 2? I thought, to a degree, our towels now are color coded to be used with their respective products...Green Glass Towels, Blue Waterless Towels, Grey Metal Towels, Grey Utility Towels. When you start adding dyes to plush towels, you do start to render their effectiveness and durability. Another thing to think about with "value packaged" towels from other places; they are more than likely Made in China. Therefore, it's super easy to package discount them, as they are dirt cheap to begin with. What level is durable enough for the SVRT? I get now, about three weeks longevity out of it, about 9 months a year. I can't expect a dressing to hold up more than it should when it's got Mag Chloride and Salt hitting it like a morse code machine. I think with some of your other suggestions you will be pleasantly surprised what Adam's Premium Car Care has coming out Quarter 1, 2013.

tony97gt Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Don't know if it would work but maybe 2" polish pads for the drill to get those "hard to polish without screwing other things up" areas. Concentrated APC Maybe a windshield washer fluid that won't degrade the sealant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do use the merino mitt now for the upper half, another mitt for the lower half (good suggestion). I should have clarified my suggestion on the towel colors. What I meant was different color shades of the premium towels so that we can designate them for polish removal, wax removal, QD or glaze, etc. You guys do a great job of coloring the different types of towels. On the SVRT, I may be splitting hairs on that one but it doesnt seem to hold on to some surfaces for very long, trim for example. On rubber on the other hand, it works like a dream. I am always excited to see what Adams has to offer and know that 2013 will be no different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that with wash pads after every use before I rinse them off I scrub them with carpet brush, it gets all the sand and dirt out of them that grit guard didn't get.

Marre Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Concentrated waterless wash. Concentrated window cleaner. Spray wax. Long, soft, bristle brush or mini wheel woolie type thing for getting into vents. Bristles never seem long enough to get all the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 A shorter handle on the Boulder Blonde Boar Hair Wheel Brush. Somewhere between the short handle on the tire brush and the current long handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holder Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I would love to see Super VRT in spray form. I know we can make our own concoction at home, but it would be nice if it came premixed and ready to use. Having Super VRT "MILK" on the lable would be a nice touch too.

Feets31 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Grit guards that come up the side of the bucket. Someone posted a picture of one in another thread a few weeks back. Or maybe a grit scrubber that has a handle on it that you can really rub the wash cloth against. It would need to big enough to cover a good portion of the cloth but not so big that it would would hard to put the need pressure to it. You would use it above the bucket or in it. Keep the ones for the bottom of the bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
