Adam’s Polishes to be in NASCAR Cup Series!
funkymonkey1111 replied to Hamilton Detail's topic in Lounge
Glad to see them in NASCAR -
Great looking box! But agree, that socket insert looks like it wastes tons of space

IK sprayer to much
funkymonkey1111 replied to enoch7fa's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
those must've sold out -
First of all, know that I love Adam's stuff. Living in Denver, it's great to be able to pop up to the HQ and pick up what I need, when I need it (be it Louisville or Thornton). One thing that might be helpful is a product line flowchart/compatibility chart. I acknowledge there may be a downside to saying "don't use this with that...." and I also realize that if you watch all the Adam's vids this information can be collected, but here's an example: H20 Guard and Gloss: This is a great product--one of the best out there. But supposedly you don't use this with ceramic coated cars. So, there might be a "wax path" chart. Then perhaps a "sealant path" chart. Finally, a "ceramic path" chart---with attending why one would use any particular approach. As I've said, I think the content is already out there--but in multiple places. For instance, in the original ceramic vids, Adam says one would use this when the vehicle is kept outside, driven in the winter/chemicals, etc. Whereas someone on the "wax path" (or whatever you want to call it) is waxing a show car or a car that's kept inside and driven infrequently. Like I said, these aren't necessarily secrets, but for a casual user (or even a sorta-casual, sorta-weekend detailer user) it's nice to have ready reference. Heck, maybe it's out there and I've missed it.

Best vacuum for interior?
funkymonkey1111 replied to DylanC330's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Look at the Ridgid 6.5hp--one of them comes with a car kit, too. -
Detail Clinic at HQ on 5 May
funkymonkey1111 replied to Norton's topic in Upcoming Events & Gatherings
who is "we?" -
Let us know how it works, and if you are fulfilled by the "untamed" scent
-
I see it now---all the marketing prior to release had three bottles with different colored labels which didn't identify what they were. now, the page listing identifies these are the same products with an "untamed scent." So, they're for people that buy something for a scent. Much like chemical guys, garry dean, and some others, it seems like a good way to confuse your simple and straightforward product line. I recall what I'll refer to as the "adam's philosophy" of products explained at a clinic at the old location--one product to do one thing. very little overlap. a simple name for the product so you could pick it up and understand what it is for. "untamed" appears to not be in this vein. "untamed" seems stupid. But then what do I know?
-
So some guy that works at adam's in the marketing department sells clothes, but on the side and in some unknown interval, markets detailing products, which are then sold through a competitor's site (adam's)? and these detailing products (which apparently don't even have names), who only a few people have heard of, (because I assure you they are not on any forum or FB group anywhere) sell out in minutes?

Coating on Fresh Paint??

what did the people that painted them say when you asked them? -
Adam's HQ Relocation
funkymonkey1111 replied to funkymonkey1111's topic in Company Info/Announcements
Are you noticing from the pics that Adam's will be doing detailing now (or soon?) They told me this at one of my visits, but asked that I not repeat it until they were fully open -
Moved to Florida... Detailing Tips?
funkymonkey1111 replied to KoryMiller340's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Thanks for the info. So what happens when you apply an Adam's product and your car is subjected to sun and 85F and above? Is the product immediately deteriorating? -
Moved to Florida... Detailing Tips?
funkymonkey1111 replied to KoryMiller340's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Is this an official Adams position? If not, what is it based on? -
I have a McCulloch 1275. I got it on Amazon Warehouse deals for I think around $115. I think they're normally $149. The big difference between it and the 1385 is the 1385 has an extra 10lbs of PSI, and a much larger tank. you get a few more accessories with the 1385, also. I flip flopped between the 1275, the 1375 and the 1385. the 1375 has the same PSI as the 1385, but with a smaller tank for my uses as a hobbyist/non professional, the 1275 is nice. I get about a minute per oz of water (it holds 48oz). Look at Amazon warehouse deals if you decide to go with a McCulloch. In fact, i'm cleaning my kitchen floor today with the 1275!

SunJoe Washer + Foam Cannon
funkymonkey1111 replied to dtibaudo's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
would likely help if you posted a pic. I thought Karcher were the only ones with proprietary fittings. -
Just saw on Facebook the new HQ open house is set I've been twice, but looking forward to seeing it fully up and running!

New Product Quick Look: Adam's iK 1.5 Foam Sprayer!
funkymonkey1111 replied to Dan@Adams's topic in Detailing Write-Ups
Anyone at Adam's--any idea if the non-foaming IK sprayer may be in the works? To be clear, I plan to buy one, and would prefer to buy it from you guys (as I'm local) if it's an item you'll carry. -
also, while not exactly your situation, i have lived in two separate states during a tax year and been self employed in one but a regular employee in another. Turbotax had no problem with that. as you likely know, there are different levels of turbotax, and the more expensive ones handle more complex situations. i don't know if your situation is particularly complex, but it might be worth a call to turbotax to ask which would be the best product for your situation

Advice Needed on Adams Products
funkymonkey1111 replied to TB700's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
unlike CG, it all seems pretty self explanatory. There are 2 maintenance soaps (1 strip soap), 3 levels of polish (and now an all-in-one), 3 waxes, a sealant, a ceramic--all of which have videos on their product pages. There's an interior detailer, a quick detailer, and a product you might look at called H2O guard and gloss. Also, check out the detailing library. -
I'm not attending as I'm in Colorado, but one thing i'd suggest--if you pick a car to use as your demo, pick on that needs some work--one that will show some results. I've been to several demos and whoever it is wants to stroke the nicest car out there--that came in at 90-95% perfect. Maybe the person putting on the demo thinks they're doing something by working on a car like that, but it isn't impressive at all. I'm not saying dig a car out of a mudhole in a junk yard, but show what you and your products can do on daily driven and used cars.

Black Trim Restorer On Tires
funkymonkey1111 replied to zw470's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
Why would we talk you out of it? What possible impact does it have on any member of this group what you do to your tires? If you want to try it, try it. Let us know how it turns out. -
I don't know you, don't know your budget, or your priorities, but take this for what it's worth: do it now if you can swing it (at least the paint, if not the floor). you've already got a potential headache with the amount of crap in the garage in that photo. years from now, all the crap you accumulate will just make it harder and harder to get it done.
