  1. My feet were freezing last weekend, I could not feel them during the wash. Too cold As long as the product isn't freezing, you are good to go for the most part.
  2. I love the angle, and use the spin to my advantage....only thing I wish is I had a thinner one for extremely low clearances between brake calipers and rim. I end up having to move the vehicle, or get the missed spots later.
  3. I've read online before that dawn can leave a residue behind. Perhaps follow-up with isopropyl after dawn? It can take numerous passes. It took my windshield after replacing it, a good 5-6 cleanings before it was back to smooth.
  4. It's all about situation. You can't (or it seems you can't) use them on grabby windows. Once the window is properly cleaned, subsequent washes with the new glass towel is a breeze. Using a waffle weave is much easier on a grabby window.
  5. I am pretty excited about this one. I was going to paint my faded plastic, but might give this a go instead.
  6. gym 4-5 times a week. that is about it for me....I make sure I go before almost everything else. Gotta keep the body going!
  7. That is strange. Sounds like a sticky windshield, but if that were the case I would suspect the single softs would lint like crazy. That is unfortunate you are having a bad experience with the new (and old) towels. I hated the old ones, but love the new ones. It is a different experience for everyone
  8. If they are linting as you say they are, it might be time to replace the towel. Personally, linting for me occurs: 1) new towel 2) sticky paint/surface 3) towel needs to be replaced
  9. This is the foam canon, not the foam gun...right. You mention pressure washer, so I can only assume canon, but the results say foam gun.
  10. DaRealDeal, mbzamg32 took the words right from me! Best of luck.
  11. You will want to clay before using sealant. Typically: Strip wash. Clay. Compound/Polish (remove swirls/scratches). Can skip this step... Lay down sealant. Wax. Glaze. Wax. Enjoy the shine
  12. Can you show us what the other end looks like? I have been trying to find a similar attachment, but no one local has it.
  13. Where is the filter located on the foam canon? Is it user accessible? I need an adapter similar to the attached picture. I have a Karcher pressure washer. It has no adapter with it to use with Adams Foam Cannon. I am having trouble finding something that will work locally. I found some online sites such as AG that carries it, but I am hoping to find a solution within Canada. Suggestions? My exact model is Karcher lr54005
  14. If they are saturated, you may need to let them soak.
  15. i use APC. My tire applicator I just lightly clean as it is nearly impossible to clean fully when it absorbs VRT. My Americana applicators I soak for several hours. Then let it dry and soak it again if it still has wax (I fine it dust after awhile depending on how deep the wax got). My other applicators clean no problem, glaze, revive, buttery, etc. Some APC and water and then dry.
  16. Don't tease us which such things. *sigh* I will buy one...one day.
  17. At this point we need feedback from the Adams team to know whats going on. I doubt it is stripping previous protection. Maybe there is a reaction time? Who knows...
  18. Obviously we need someone from Adams to answer. But a few comments here point to the product working extremely well. Beading from rinsing is not expected, absolutely no water on the paint is expected. If the paint is so slick the water just runs off, then beads cannot form. To repeat, you don't want beads while rinsing! If you are rinsing and no water is left on the car, including no beads, this is a good thing! This means your paint is very slick. This is a good thing. Edit, another member put up a video: If that is what you meant, that is completely different than my understanding of the situation. To me, it sounded like all the water was running off of the car with no beads on the paint. In the video, you will see a "sheet" of water stuck on the paint. Two very different scenarios that can be confused when both are referred to as "sheeting."
  19. Definitely need more info. Porsche Cayenne is pretty soft paint, but unfortunately not enough info to go on. Like others have suggested, it could be dirty or trim.
  20. You have to be a bit more clear. the water sheeting can be a good thing (ie: sheeting method for drying). While rinsing, I would hope to see no beads. I want no water on the car at all! I want all the water to sheet right off. To be clear, this is very different than water staying on the car as a sheet, not moving anywhere. Think when it rains, dirty cars tend to have a "sheet" of water where-as freshly cleaned/waxed cars tend to bead.
  21. I'd love for Adams to come out with one finally. I know awhile back they did not believe in such a coating, but then they started working on it (or appeared to be). With the release of wash and wax, I have high hopes a coating is coming soon. With my luck, it will be right after I finally splurge on CQUARTZ
