  1. Correct - was just playing around with the decals since the Kwazars don't have logo or any other branding. There was some method to the madness though. The reason I put the decals in different locations/angles was so that I could differentiate the bottles if I had a clear solution like the green wheel cleaner vs. carpet upholstery ... or even the glass cleaner vs the interior detail spray (both VERY similar light green color). Don't worry - my OCD is just as bas as everyone else's around here - you should have seen me trying to put the decals on at EXCACTLY a 45 degree angle
  2. I just picked up the 3 pack and had a chance to use them for the first time this weekend. Here's my take: - dual action spray and nozzle heads are unmatched in quality - the adjustability of the nozzle is fantastic - fine mist to super strong direct spray - I didn't find the bottles to be to large to handle - the tube insert is long enough to have a couple of sprays while the bottle is upside down (like at 12 o'clock on the fender wells) - I filled a couple bottles with detail spray and all-purpose cleaner to start with (not sure what my 3rd product would be at this point - perhaps waterless wash or green wheel cleaner ... high use product I use every time) - the detail spray tested the fine mist functionality. Very light, thin spray pattern. Didn't drip down the vertical surfaces like some other sprayers do. I suspect I used less product than the normal spray head (no scientific test though). My microfiber seemed "less wet" than with the other sprayer nozzle. - the all-purpose cleaner tested the direct stream spray functionality. I was able to fully coat the inside of the fender well very quickly. The spray also reached the "back" of the fender well without much effort. I was also able to saturate fender and tire brushes much more quickly. I used more all-purpose cleaner with the direct spray setting, but I'm OK with that if it is degreasing the target areas appropriately (and the cost factor is not as important as something like deep wheel cleaner) - definitely faster - definitely less hand fatigue - obscure observation here in Colorado: because it was windy this weekend, these product bottles stayed upright sitting on the driveway surface because of the larger base circumference. My other traditional bottles blew over. Not a deal breaker by any means, but every little thing counts. Couple of pictures attached of my pimped out Kwazars Adam's style.
  3. Chris I have a black BMW as well (2014 X1) and I use the 6" pads with the Porter Cable setup (Adams doesn't sell it anymore, but you can find it on Amazon). I am also thinking of upgrading to the Cyclo. I started off brand new with the same concerns and followed the videos religiously, took my time and did smaller sections at a time. Perfect results. I would start with the microfiber over the foam pads since you have black paint, but both work great. It took swirl and some minor scratches (that I think occurred at BMW when they put the clear bra on) out of a new car. I would also recommend claying it first if you haven't already. Hope this helps. Good luck polishing! Duncan
  4. New to the forums. Have been an Adams fan for some time ... became a super-fan this past year after the purchase of 2 black cars! ('14 BMW X1 and '13 Acura MDX). The Adams products have been key in keeping the new cars looking new all winter here in Colorado - can't say enough .... My 6 year old son loves watching Adam & Dillon in the videos - he thinks they are rock star celebrities! He is my "wheel man" when we detail - favorite product is the boars hair brush Picture(s) of my current product selection attached - just placed an order for more wheel cleaner and trying out waterless car wash. I look forward to learning more here in the forums. Duncan
