I will try making a second pass with a clean utility towel - the trim is spotless and I don't know if I could go any less on the sponge and achieve full coverage. Its odd in that I haven't had this issue in the past.

Is there anything that can be done to prevent SVRT from "bleeding" or running from trim? I noticed it a few months back on the wifes Explorer, but its much more pronounced on my truck. Ive tried cutting back the dose, applying thinner coats, etc. but it never fails - shortly after it rains, the SVRT runs down off the trim. Thanks in advance! -Coop

I really wish I could just order a few of these and have them ship when there in stock...its been a good bit of time now!

Welcome aboard man, Im from the Lakes Region!

Was this by chance developed for the guys at Premium Shield?

I do mine annually, usually at the beginning of snow season for the DD and the beginning of summer for the seasonal rides. Not sure if thats overkill or not, but it sure is nice to have good blades when you need them.

Thanks guys, a cup may be an exaggeration - it only came out for as long as it took me to pull my hand off the trigger, which at the time seemed like a ton. Either way it was more than Id like! Unfortunately I dont have the time or the day light to do a full rewash, but Ill get up early and reapply some BG and BW before the cruise.

Long story short, I've spent the past 3 days doing a full detail on my Evo. I strip washed it, clayed the whole car, hand polished, sealed, b.g., b.w. blah blah blah. It looks sexy as heck Anyway, were going on a cruise tomorrow morning so I went out just now and filled her up. I was at the pump, but apparently the auto stop doesn't work on that one. I spilled about a cup of gas down the side of her. It instantly took the SVRT off the wheel and I about lost my cool standing at the pump. I grabbed a handful of the *cring* gas station paper towels and cleaned/dried it as best I could and hurried home. I went over the area thoroughly with quick detail spray and a microfiber. It feels fine to the touch and I cant visually see anything wrong with the area - though its dark and the lighting in my garage isn't as ideal as daylight. I guess my question is - can I do anything else? Is that section of the car going to look like crap in the am or was the quick response/clean up and Adams amazing products enough to protect it? Thanks in advance for the help guys. -Coop

Looks awesome man!

Gotcha! IMHO, this cart would be ideal if they lowered the middle shelf to fit gallons on bottom and empty wash buckets in the middle, or vise versa. I'd also love another "bottle rack" like it comes with. I understand Adams doesn't make the carts, but perhaps if they do a part enough volume it would be possible! Last but not least, they should update the photo of the cart so the impression of wash buckets fitting is not given!

Earlier this month I had ordered a cart from Jegs with the intention of using it as a detailing cart. Long story short it wasn't ideal at all. The shelves were too shallow and my bottles fell off every time I moved it. I also wanted to store my was buckets on the bottom for easy transport to and from the area I wash vehicles in and my garage, as well as to keep clutter to a minimum while in storage in the garage. The buckets didn't fit on the shelves either. Long story short, I just ordered the pro detailing cart on Monday and it showed up today. All in all the cart is 100x better suited to detailing duties and I do plan on keeping it. That said, my wash buckets still don't fit on the bottom like pictured on the site. Have the wash buckets changed? Have the carts changed?

Thanks for the tips guys! I havent done the Explorer just yet, but I have spent the past couple days getting my Evo ready for a cruise/show this weekend. Its hood is covered in 3m clear material, and I clayed/hand polished the whole thing. There were some water spots on the 3m bra, and I got a little aggressive with the clay trying to get them out. Now if you look at the bra where the water spots were - it looks "scratched". I've tried to snap a photo of it, but its proving to be nearly impossible to catch on camera. It looks great from a distance and from almost every angle, but it really bugs me when I get close and look. Any suggestions to help fix this? Hopefully this will prove a learning experience as Id rather have done it on my car than hers. -Coop

Any idea when the great white microfibers will be back in stock? I was just getting ready to place another small order, and I need a couple of these. Also - whats the reason for removing OOS items completely from the site? Not that I dont find something else I "must have" every time I visit the site, but it would be nice to order OOS items and just receive them when in stock - instead of needing to check back every couple of days.

Cheap, T6 fixtures will do the trick nicely. IMHO, in a space like a garage they throw a much more usable light and fill the space better than LED's. Make sure to get something with a diffuser over it (the chinsy plastic covers). It will help disperse light and will help prevent smacking the bulb with a ladder/rake/shovel or whatever else you may be moving around the garage.

The paint is very clean - its a 14 and it showed up 2 months ago. Im just curious if its worth it while I was going through the motions, or if it would be something I look at after and not notice a thing.
