Those 50/50 shots are amazing! This really speaks volumes about the cyclo paired with Adams polish. Did you avoid using microfiber for any reason other than the foam was working?

Those are awesome! Where are you able to find them in restorable condition? I've been looking for an airplane version for my two girls.

Does the pedal car in the background get as much love as the 550?

I can't wait to see what it looks like when you are done. We all know that with your resources and skills it will be one heck of a looker!

Arlington, but I live in MO now.

Great write up. Very nice turn around on the paint and headlights.

That is an amazing turn around. Very nice job!

Thank you everyone. She was really happy with the way it shined.

My mom hasn't purchased a new car in over 15 years. She made the 7 hour drive up this weekend for our daughter's second birthday and I decided to clean it up before the ride home. The car was actually in good since the dealer doesn't wash the vehicle when serviced. I started off by cleaning the wheels and tires with Deep Wheel Cleaner, All Purpose Cleaner and the Trim & Lug Nut Brush. I also used the old wheel woolie combo. The wheels don't get that dirty since they are equipped with a brake dust barrier, but the tires were filthy. Here is the tire getting worked over with the cleaner. The engine bay was exceptionally dirty as it hasn't been cleaned in over six months. I sprayed everything with Rinseless Car Wash diluted to waterless wash and used some old microfiber to give it a good scrubbing. After drying the bay I coated everything I could with Super VRT Tire & Trim Dressing and a milk version since I don't have any In and Out Spray, Before: After: The bugs were sprayed with diluted Rinseless Car Wash to soften them before the wash. I used a mixture of Car Wash Shampoo, All Purpose Cleaner, and Rinseless Car Wash in my foam gun to strip anything that might be left from the original delivery and to soften the water. After letting it soak for a while and finishing up getting my bucket with Grit Guard Insert and Professional Car Wash Pad. I gave the car a good scrubbing from top to bottom. I was able to get the majority of bugs with a light pad pass, but had to break out the Detailing Clay Combo to get the ones that were baked on from sitting in the Texas and Missouri sun. I clayed the hood, front bumper, windshield and roof. The rest of the car was still good to go. As you can see from the clay of the hood wasn't in horrible shape. After finishing up with the wash and claying I broke out the Blaster Sidekick Dryer by MetroVac and Detail Spray to help avoid water spots and to give it a great finish. After getting the drying process finished up I then went over the car with Quick Sealant using the Microfiber Applicator Pads to spread everything around evenly. Cleaned up all of the windows with Microfiber Glass Cleaning Towels and Adam's Glass Cleaner so that she would have streak free and invisible glass on the car ride home tomorrow. I treated the windows with Glass Sealant. I went over the tires with the New Tire Shine which I have started to really like. I was always a big fan of Super VRT Tire & Trim Dressing, but I may be switching over. The trim on the car was treated with VRT also to help protect and give it that excellent natural sheen. I hope you like how the car turned out and I plan on giving it a proper correction when I have more time and make a trip home to Dallas with all of my supplies.

Great job! Nice bag for your detailing supplies.

I think 1:1 APC is perfect for normal duty cleaning especially if you keep your car clean normally. Some people will use the leather cleaner at 1:1 for lighter cleaning. Adam also referenced 1:2 parts Rinseless and distilled water for a detail spray.

Why did the kwazar option with gallons go away? I love that option and was about to order a couple of gallons.

I did the same thing with my kwazars.

Looks great! I use the liquid paint sealant and that stuff is not messing around. Great color on the lexus.

I used it the other day, but I also washed immediately following so I didn't have a stain.

APC is one of my favorites. That stuff will degrease anything I throw at it.

Thanks Nick. It may be impossible or just improbable, but an extra spray top included might help. If you aren't expecting this it would be easy to lose that piece.

Thanks Beemer. The stuff is fantastic, so it's not like I'd stop using anyways.

Does anyone else have this issue? Every time I use it the spray top will pop off. I've come close to losing the top a few times. Is this mainly user error?

With so many people using the Rupes 15 and Duetto, has Adams considered making a pad for these polishers?

Customer for life, just based on your customer service.

Any news on the labels?

Thanks Adam! I'd love to have an American made one if you found/made one.

The Glimour foam gun seemed to do a great job with Adam's car shampoo. Had to get her all cleaned up before going on vacation.
