Team Adam's Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Week 9 of Ask The Shine Doc covers one of the most hated topics in detailing - GLASS CLEANING! No one genuinely likes to clean windows, and if we're being honest most of us hate it. In the end however, clean and streak free glass is just a big a part of the detail as anything else. In this video we'll cover a few basic tip, some you may have heard before, some you may have not. Enjoy! IN THIS VIDEO: Adam's Glass Cleaner | Adam's Glass Towels PHOKUS, Feets31, LTDSC and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerryC Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 On the multiple towel idea: I like to use a waffle weave towel - one that's usually been demoted from use on paint - to remove a majority of the dirt first, and then follow up with a glass towel to tackle streaks and bring out the clarity.

zxgto06 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Great vid! Dylan I have to ask tho....why the massive Adams wrap on the raptor!??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HFX Detailing Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Great tip on going different directions on the inside vs. outside...I have never thought of that. Another tip for getting those stubborn corners, try wrapping the towel around your hand and use your finger tips to guide the towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Bobby Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Massive Adams wrap because thats the salary that pays the mortgage, haha. Its called marketing and brand recognition lol. Just driving around Dylan can gain some customers they might not have had before. Did you guys use a drone to film on the intro? Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxgto06 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Massive Adams wrap because thats the salary that pays the mortgage, haha. Its called marketing and brand recognition lol. Just driving around Dylan can gain some customers they might not have had before. Did you guys use a drone to film on the intro? Lol! I get it, just seemed funny that all his other trucks were all debaged and clean looking, and this one is a rolling billboard. Just thaught maybe there is more to it, like the truck was going to be used for something to do with the company..

Team Adam's Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Great vid! Dylan I have to ask tho....why the massive Adams wrap on the raptor!??!! Just like Jason pointed out - the performance of this little company directly impacts my ability to provide for my family and increasingly more (due to the weekly videos and amount of content I'm putting out into the world) my face is synonymous with Adam's. If a viable case could be made that an Adam's logo tattoo would help sales and visibility I might be convinced to get one. My previous cars would've never made sense to wrap b/c they weren't in the right color family - this one being bright red, the substantial following we have in the Raptor community, it just makes sense. Also, because of the visibility it gets our friends at various companies have jumped at the chance to get their accessories onto this truck. The dudes at Apollo Optics hooked it up huge with a crazy lighting setup, Bedrug and TruXedo hooked up a liner and cover combo. Toyo tires and Discount Tire got the wheel and tires together for us. Corsa has already contributed some go fast goodies, with more on the way. As an "Adam's branded truck" it gets a lot of visibility, and as a result can help our friends market their brand as well. I've had offers for custom seating, suspension, etc all to be a part of a truck that will be seen everywhere. Plus, I got to design the wrap and I think it looks killer!

TDV1.png It does look very nice! My reason for askin, over the last few years of seeing your trucks online, I know your a fan of the no badge clean look. This truck seems to be out of your norm. It does grab your attention! Nice job on the design of it. Maybe make a thread of the performance upgrades to this truck if you have time?!

Detailer27 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I love your glass cleaner, but is there any way we can dilute it to make it last longer? Have you tried diluting the glass cleaner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirahnah3 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 You might be using too much product if you are going thru it quickly, I clean the windows on my truck at least weekly and have not gone thru a gallon yet in almost a year. Prob still have 32oz in the gallon to go yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan@Adams Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I would have to agree with Jim. I use the Glass Cleaner quite sparingly, 1-2 quick sprays per window, and it gives me nice clean windows with no streaking. I still have a 1/2 gallon of the old formula because it lasts so long for me. I haven't tried diluting Glass Cleaner, but if you decide to experiment with it, I would strongly suggest using distilled water only to dilute it. pirahnah3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Bobby Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Took me about 3-4 months to go through a 16 oz bottle. The less you use the less streaks you have to chase down because of excess product. Oh and I also use it on my house Windows so Glass Cleaner sees a ton of use for me Dan@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
