    AZGTO reacted to Adam in Would the new Adam's jumbo plush microfiber towel be a good drying towel?   
    Been using both, and truth be told, I like both! On a vehicle that needs clay, the plush towel will lint.

    Bingo, key is less passes (less touching).  The jumbo plush is absolutely a great towel for drying paint, I've been using one for over a year now and only use waffle weaves after rinseless washing now.  Plush towels require a different method, you usually lay the towel over the section you are drying and just pat it dry or "blot" to absorb the water, it works remarkably well this way.  If you are trying to dry by just quickly wiping it will not work as well, you need to go slow to allow the fibers to absorb the water via capillary action.  These towels hold a TON of water.
     
    Dries perfect with no streaks, Chris I understand your preference towards waffle weave drying but to post matter-of-factly that using a plush towel is not for drying is misleading.  Some people prefer it and consider it superior to waffle weave towels and I hope Adam's does another run of them soon.

    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

    I was recently the winner of a Patriot Wax from the daily giveaways that Adam's had going on a few weeks back. As someone that has used Patriot in the past from the first launch, I was excited to get my hands on this new "Tin" that the Patriot has been made available in. 
     
     

     
    After now having this tin first hand, I see no issues with the size of it, nor the ability to use an applicator with the wax. For anyone that has used this wax, you know that a little goes a long way and it spreads VERY easily.
     
    Just wanted to say thanks again to Adam's and the kick *** products you have. Thanks for making this amazing wax available at a price point many others can enjoy! 
     
    If you haven't purchased this wax, do yourself a favor and buy it!

    AZGTO reacted to Team Adam's in CA Car Duster...?   
    A car duster is twisted wool yarn, dipped in paraffin wax. Thats it. You know what else uses that same technology? The mops they use to clean the hardwood floors of indoor basketball courts - do you want to treat the delicate paint of your car the same way they treat a floor people run, slide, and sweat on? The first use or 2 you won't notice much damage, the paraffin actually provides a level of protection from the yarn strands, but the trouble starts when the wax begins to hold dirt. They market many of these dusters with the line:

    "The dirtier it gets the better it works!"
     
    Its might be true in terms of picking up dust, but its not true in terms of preventing damage. The wax holds onto virtually every spec of dust and dirt it comes into contact with, so after about 10 wipe downs you're now wiping 10 layers worth of dust over your finish. Would you use a dirty floor mop to clean your car? Probably not. Well, a duster is essentially the same thing.
     
    So you can argue - what if I clean it? - that will certainly remove the dust/dirt buildup, but it also takes the wax with it, leaving you with dry wool fibers, just as likely to cause swirls and scratches as the dirty wax covered yarn. Dry removal is never going to be a good idea if you're trying to maintain a swirl free finish.
     
    Products like Waterless Wash and Rinseless Wash are designed specifically to encapsulate, lubricate, and remove those little particles without causing damage. Wet removal will always be safer than a duster. Ultimately its your car to maintain and go with what suits you best, but if you look at the big picture -
     
    Is it easier to use a WET removal process that takes a little more time and reduce the amount of correction you need to do over a year to only a few times, or would you prefer to save a few minutes each day with a DRY duster only to have to spend 8 hours to fix the damage multiple times a year?
     
     
     
    A good friend who as run a very successful detailing business in SoCal for decades always says:
     
    "I absolutely love Car Dusters. They are a guarantee that I will always have a schedule packed full of cars owned by people who would rather pay me $500 or more to fix their paint than spend a few minutes cleaning their cars themselves properly. Car Dusters are my job security."

    AZGTO reacted to Team Adam's in Long lasting sealant...?   
    I think we're all (or at least most of us) in the same area in terms of what we'd want from a coating -
     
    Personally I think something that lasts 4 or 5 years sounds terrible! Thats a unique hell I don't want to exist in where I have no excuse to rub on my car. Something in the 18-24 month range would suit me just fine.
     
    I'm also not all that concerned with gloss levels, ideally I want a coating that leaves the appearance of the vehicle unchanged vs. having nothing on it. I want excuses to use waxes, glazes, detail sprays and other things to bring out the gloss. Putting down a good paste is like therapy so why would I want something that takes away that need?
     
    I want it to be stupid easy to apply - some coatings I've worked with are so temperamental that the process was more aggravation than it was worth. I finished frustrated and annoyed - I never want the joy to be sucked out of detailing.
     
    Am I on the right track?
