SYMAWD Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yea I was going to try their strip wash.. but not anymore. Just add a few ounces of Adam's APC to your wash Team Adam's, Redbeard and AmyAtAdamsAustralia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feets31 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) What is funny is that he was trying to get a tag for the first 100 members to their forum. After he left they designed it and are putting it out. I am betting only about 25 of the first 100 members are still over there.

JHL88 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Just add a few ounces of Adam's APC to your wash I wanted to try it because the scg strip wash is on the basic side. I believe adams APC is on the acidic side. Edited October 24, 2014 by JHL88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunky Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Has Dylan said anything or is the comments here just based upon what they think happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blcksilv08 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) He has privately, he said it was a surprise to him as well. Edited October 24, 2014 by blcksilv08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYMAWD Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) I wanted to try it because the scg strip wash is on the basic side. I believe adams APC is on the acidic side. That's what I always thought because I think Dylan mentioned it in a post once, but the MSDS Adam posted not too long ago had the pH listed as 12.8.

I believe adams APC is on the acidic side.I think the big thing with the strip wash is that it was much more gentle on plastic and rubber trim. Which if you use APC in your soap as a strip wash its not a big deal because usually when you're doing that you'll be dressing the trim anyway. Just depends on preference.

GXPaycheck Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 BTW, I wouldn't consider Dylan an elephant. Unless he's put on some weight since I last saw him! Redbeard and blcksilv08 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMDChase Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I don't know what happened here or over at SCG but I do know the Dylan is a very intelligent, decent man who I had the pleasure of meeting at a few clinics and at Adans HQ. I wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYMAWD Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) interesting Here is a link to where Adam posted the MSDS: http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/26951-material-safety-data-sheets/?p=426793 And where Dylan claimed it was mildly acidic: http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/22515-adams-apc-all-purpose-cleaner-review/?p=358183 However, my guess is the MSDS is the correct answer. And because it contains Sodium Silicate, I'm going to guess it's alkaline because putting Sodium Silicate in acid would cause it to crystallize.

I just thought I heard that Dylan or one of the Adam's team members mentioned it was a citrus based cleaner which obviously would make it acidic. So i guess its alkaline, good to know.

HFX Detailing Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I am a little confused. Is this the same Dylan I saw in the forums here all the time with many great answers? And in the Adams videos? Did I miss something...is there any summary of what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Bobby Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 SCG is a bunch of jacktard fools, DvK is a damn hard worker. I'll go out on a limb and say that maybe he should have stuck with AF for a while after all, seemed like he and Adam parted on good terms. After the restructuring and new hires, etc at Adam's lately I'll go out on a limb but I don't know if Adam's could afford to rehire him even if he showed interest. Maybe DvK will make a guest appearance on Raw Detail TV with Garry Dean and give us all the inside scoop on those a-holes at SCG. Good thing I never spent money with them.

HFX Detailing Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Correct. Apparently, I have been detailing under a rock. This is news to me...and apparently he left long ago (read the forum post here about it...looks like it was around feb). I sometimes rewatch videos and seeing him in them...well, I guess I just never thought he was gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraptoretrux Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Dylan is a good guy. He is actually the reason I started using Adam's. He moved in around the corner from me and his Silver truck alwasy looked so clean, even when the weather was bad. I had him set me up with stuff for my raptor and haven't touched a walmart product since!I followed him over and tried a lot of the SCG stuff he worked on, it was great product and Im definitely going to use up what I have. But after talking to him and seeing how this all went down I won't buy from them again. He is a standup guy and even though he wont get into specifics of what happend its pretty clear they didn't take care of him the way he needed. If he comes back here that would be great for me bc then I can keep getting samples of product out of his garage. LOL Just picked up a couple of bottles of stuff from his supply that he didn't want to keep. I told him about this topic on the forums and he said to tell everyone hello. Pretty sure he won't be back here, but whereever he ends up I'm sure he'll keep doing good stuff. -Chris Edited October 31, 2014 by wraptoretrux DirtyBlackHoe and Doug123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraptoretrux Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Looks like it Chase.I saw the trailer come pick it up the day he shipped it to you. Was sad to see it go. Im a ford guy, but that truck was setup really nice. His new project chevy is beautiful too if you haent seen it. I'm actually standing next to it right now while D tops off my detail spray bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 When I heard that Dylan was dismissed from SCG, I called him immediately, and invited him to lunch. We immediately offered to bring him back, as he was a pivotal part of the growth that we experienced while he was on our team. Let's face it, Dylan rocks, and we would love to have him back! He is looking at several options currently, and will be making a decision that is best for his family, and bank account! SEMA is next week, and he has multiple offers and meetings. We did part ways on good terms, and would love to have Dylan on our team again....... Go Dylan, and no matter what, we support him and his family!
