AZGTO

a little touch up

Just dump in a whole 16oz ... takes out the guesswork and makes lots of foam

Car looks awesome Don!!

Nice work Don! Glad you finally switched over to Adams...looks like it came out great!

$80 on the gallon is a bargain just as Dylan said. I usually tend to split my gallons with a friend if I feel they're going to last me way longer than a year or two.

Nice car! Looks great

Hi Don...I feel like I know you..or something

Can certainly say this is unusual as the reviews of the new formula have been overwhelmingly positive.
 
File under: you can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time.
 
As mentioned, take advantage of the satisfaction guarantee. We're sorry your not loving the new formula.

Awesome to see this! Just got my Cinco de Mayo order in the mail today. Shirt and Wash Wedge are legit along with the crazy $5.55 Americana!

30 minutes recommended, but in the hot/dry months I've layered immediately with no ill effects. Never hurts to give it a few extra minutes if you can spare it though.
 
In terms of color - doesn't really matter. Most of the 'look' comes from your prep (decon and polishing) and the LSP choice(s) will only enhance whats already there. Obviously white will never look 'deep' so applying wax in hopes of getting a deep/wet look on white or silver is like throwing your cat in the air in the hopes it sprouts wings and starts to fly.

Picked up this bright red monster yesterday. 2012 Super Crew with the 6.2L. Was a single owner truck and only had 21,xxx on the clock. Fully loaded with all the options I wanted -
 
Heated/Cooled Seat
Dual Zone Climate Controls
Front/Rear View Camera
Navigation with SYNC
Sunroof
Sliding rear window
 
Just driving it home yesterday and to the office this morning has already got me smiling from ear to ear - its just a monster plain and simple! Rides fantastic on the streets and I may or maynot have ripped it thru a few open fields so far to test the offroad capabilities
 

 
Interior was pretty much spotless - gave it a quick TID wipe down and leather conditioner treatment yesterday. Over the next few days I'll be doing a full paint correction and detail. Still debating if it gets the most current coating prototype - we'll see. I'll update the thread as the detail progresses.
 

AP Old Style Foam Gun Works Great - New 11x11 AP Wash Pad - New 16oz AP Throwback Pink Soap - New 16oz AP Throwback Buttery Wax - (2) New Grey Single Plush MF towels. SOLD.
 

Tire coating I'm thinking...or beard cream. 

Plus... after attending the auctions for YEARS and seeing the condition of these cars in person (not on TV with very forgiving lighting) I don't think I'd look to any auction company as an authority on car care.

So it was nice out today and the Caddy needed a good clean up.  And I got a chance finally to use some of the new stuff Adam's came out with recently.
So I started off with a two bucket wash with the new Wash/Rinse buckets and connector.  Having both buckets connected is the way to go.  Makes it so much simpler to move around the car.  (wife is the photographer)

 
After filling up the buckets with the pink car wash (don't have the blue yet, but it's ordered), I soaped the baby up with the foam gun.  The pink makes plenty of suds, so I can imagine how good the blue's going to be.
 

 

 
Next came the wash with the new Wash Wedge.  All I can say about this new sponge is WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO COME OUT WITH THIS?  I'm 68 with arthritis in my shoulders and back and this thing is so much easier to use for me than the wash pads. A whole lot lighter when wet, and it sucks up the soap and water and whisks away the dirt! 
 

 
So once I got her body all nice and clean......it was time to do the wheels.  Yes, I do a dedicated bucket for the wheels.  Sprayed the wheels down with All Purpose Cleaner then scrubbed deep into the wheels with the old wheel woolies,  hit the lug nuts with the lug nut brush, and then sprayed down the tires with more APC and scrubbed with the blue tire scrub brush.
 

 

 

 

 

 
So now that the car is all nice and clean, it's time to pull it into the garage and try out the new H20 GG.
 

 
 
I wet the car down good first, then started on the roof.
 

 
Wiped it down with a damp double soft towel, then went over it with a dry double soft.
 

 
I did the glass, sunroof, and any plastic on the car with it too.  Didn't matter. This stuff is amazing.
 

 
I finished off the rest of the car and let me tell you, I can't be happier. This stuff is so simple to use, gives great shine, the paint is smooth as glass, and I can see where it's going to be a BIG hit for Adam's. If you didn't get it yet, get an order in. You're going to want a gallon or FIVE! 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I'm not real impressed my my kwazars...

I always liked the clear grey sprayers with the rubber grip

I'd say the CTS-V is going to be some good bang for your buck and luxury/performance wrapped into one.

You've been asking and I'm happy to say we finally have USPS options integrated into site as an economy shipping option. You'll now be able to select USPS First Class and USPS Priority Service for smaller shipments, up to 15lbs.
 
Right now the integration is being tested, so if you're making a purchase soon please consider selecting one of the USPS options offered and if you can share your experience with us here. We want to make sure you are having the same great experience with our economy shipping options.
 
FedEx will still be the preferred option for heavier shipments, but our rate study showed that shipments of 15lbs or less would be less expensive for our customers via USPS.
 

Still sticking with Tire Coating...
 
Or Trim Coating. Something with Trim or rubber... Since UCS is purple.

Patriot still has some pretty decent durability. I've had it on my wife's car here in AZ and it was still beading good 3-4 months later

Any chance of the being able to get just the labels for those of us that have a pretty good bucket collection already going?  

Can we switch this thread to beer talk?

They're great towels but I like both actually. The plush towel seems to take a bit more effort to dry your car off but it does so with less passes across your paint
