Drain-O..haha dont know if that one counts...but just in case it doesn't
 
Drain Plug

With quite a bit of time on my hands right now I took care of my wife's Daily, a 2012 1LT Camaro in Ashen Gray Metallic. The Tire/Wheel swap is usually done after April 15, and the detail over Memorial Day weekend, but, well, I'm bored and now a bit ahead.
 
Broke out the Quick Jack, and removed the winter tire/wheel set up

 
I used my MTM Undercarriage Cleaning Tool, connected to my Pressure Washer to blast all the winter from under the car. Now, with the wheels off, it gave me a great opportunity to clean the inner fender wells and suspension. I lowered the car a couple years ago with a set of Pfadt Lowering Springs and it's now hard to get in the wheel wells with a brush with the Tires/Wheels on. Tire & Rubber Cleaner in a Foaming IK Sprayer, a couple different brushes and they came out about as good as new.

 
I dried everything with my Master Blaster Revolution, prepped with Surface Prep and applied a nice coat of Ceramic Spray Coating to help keep things clean.

 
Cleaned the engine bay; All Purpose Cleaner, the Pressure Washer, and the Master Blaster

 

 
Summer Tire/Wheel set up back on

 
Winter Tire/Wheels scrubbed clean, Tire Armor on the Rubber and Ceramic Spray Coating over top the previously applied Ceramic Wheel Coating. 24 hours later Ceramic Boost on the wheels, and they're now stacked in the basement until next winter.

 

 
The Weather Tech floor mats were scrubbed with Tire & Rubber Cleaner, allowed to dry, then prepped and hit with Ceramic Spray Coating and Ceramic Boost to come back looking like new.
 
On to the car...
Summer Tire/Wheel set up on and dropped her off the Quick Jack
 Mega Foam, Foam Cannon and my Pressure Washer

 
A nice two bucket wash with Car Shampoo using the Gray Microfiber Wash Mitt
Blow Dry with my Master Blaster, followed with a wipe down with Waterless Wash.
Did a baggie test, she needed Clayed. I had a small spot of rust in the left rear wheel arch taken care of in January, and evidently there was over-spray on the paint. The car has Adam's 9H Ceramic Paint Coating with the UV Tracer on it, but the fine paint dust still had stuck. Fine Grade Clay quickly took care of what was on the paint. A Rinseless Wash mixed as Waterless Wash removed the Detail Spray residue from claying.

 
I polished the left rear quarter panel, A Pillar, and C Pillar where the paint work had been done. I also had to re-polish the trunk lid. It appeared the body guy had sat something on the trunk that left some light scratches. There was also a light scuff on the right rear wheel arch that needed removed.
Tools:
SK 15mm Pro and SK Mini
Microfiber Pads
Blue Foam Pads
White Foam Pads
Compound
Polish

 
LSP, I'm trying something different, a bit of various product comparisons.
Left Rear Quarter Panel, A Pillar, C Pillar, Trunk Lid, Rear Spoiler, Side Mirrors, spot on the Right Rear Wheel Arch I repaired, and the Flat Horizontal  piece of the front bumper below the headlights got the new Ceramic Coating Wax.
The Roof, Right Side A Pillar, C Pillar and Flat surface of the Right Rear Quarter Panel got the Liquid Ceramic Wax.
The Hood, Tops of the Front Fenders, and Top of the Front Bumper got the original Version 1 of the Ceramic Paste Wax.
All the rest of the vehicle was left alone, with just the Ceramic Paint Coating applied last Fall.
 
The car was wiped down with CS3 after I pulled it out of the garage, and the wheels wiped down with Matte Detailer. The Tires have a few coats of Tire Armor on them I'd applied last Fall after I pulled them for winter storage.

 

 

The Stainless Steel exhaust Tips were taken care of with Metal Polish #2
 

 

 

 

 

 
The Interior was completely Detailed too. I wiped all hard surfaces down with the Eucalyptus Mint Interior Detailer with Microban. The Clean Cotton Odor Neutralizer was sprayed through the HVAC system and the New Fabric Protector was applied to the cloth seats.

 

I think Russia hacked our weather system!

When I do wash outside when it's cold I like to wear runners gloves and cover them with longer nitrile gloves.  Little bit of insulation and hand don't get wet, still have plenty of dexterity!

Not today but last weekend I got my desk mostly complete. After staining and many rounds of poly and sanding, I hit it with finishing polish and a coat of buttery wax. I have to cut out and stain/poly a couple small shelves but it’s now usable.

I think we need a good counter to the "what did you wash, shine, and or polish today" thread  
 

I have a heated & insulated garage plus I use a portable pressure washer to rinse off the vehicle. It holds just over three gallons and I fill the sprayer with warm water from the tap. Usually can do my SS using 6 gallons through the sprayer and three in the wash bucket. The wife’s Beast (Durango R/T) takes a couple more gallons. It beats breaking out the hose especially in colder weather.

Hi Jordan,
 
I can certainly pass this one along to Product Development as a suggestion!
 
Some of our Barrett-Jackson Detailing Team have modified our Fender Brushes in pretty clever ways to help make detailing faster at events. Some of them they cut the long handle off with a saw to get into tight undercarriage spots, and trimmed the bristles shorter with some scissors - just takes a little time and patience

Earlier today I had to pull up a older picture of one of my vehicles and it reminded me of a few more pictures, one thing lead to another and I realized that while some members understand that I have a thing for Red vehicle, they might not fully understand the depth.  In an effort to share the passion, I'm going share some of the Red vehicles over the years.   While only a fraction of these are "Adam's" vehicles, they were always taken of and it is pretty obvious, at least to me, which ones had Adam's and which ones had other stuff on them. 
 
Please enjoy a few Red vehicle pictures, ignore the big White thing and sorry, but I don't have a picture of the Red riding lawn mower, Sunfire, Van or Cruze.
 
First up is a view from the middle of driveway.  Left to right. Malibu, Mustang, Monte Carlo SS, WRX, Top of the Pickup (not sure which one), Impala and in the back, the white thing is a 30 foot motorhome.  Excluding the motor home, I'm sure the theme is starting to take effect.   
 
Second picture:  BMW.  Third - Bike (yes it is dirty, it was before I washed it).  
 
Fourth is the CX5, followed by the Range Rover - which I absolutely hate how dirty the wheels get on it.
 
Next up is the Lexus, followed by my favorite vehicle, the Colorado, sitting in front of the 24 year old S-10 the day I brought the new truck home.  
 
Then we have the Equinox, which had way too many Florida Love Bugs on the front and finally the Club Car.
 
I am currently in discussions on a 77 Vette, I presume you don't need to ask what color it is.😁
 

Post a photo featuring one or more of the Adam's products you used for you during detailing.  Let's see those artistic photos!  I'll start, Huckleberry thought he should be in the photshoot.
 

I really wish we had a way to differentiate this beyond just "professional" and "amateur" because it's not acceptable to put people who do work like the OP in the same category as people who do work like this...
 

 
That absolute catastrophe came out of the detail shop at the dealership where I traded my F150 for my 4Runner.  They didn't clean the face of the wheel the whole way, they didn't even touch the barrel, and there's as much disgusting tire grease on the wheel as there is on the tire.  I'm sure every amateur that posts here could do a better job and not spend a minute more doing it.

Looks great! On a side note, how long did it take you drive off that gravel? Lol

My winter prep is a good solid wash, clay, paint sealant day.  I wouldn't really worry about polishing anything since the salt is gonna tear it up anyway.  Then every couple washes or so, throw a coat of H2OGG on.  Also, don't forget the glass sealant and hit it with the glass boost when you do the H2OGG.  Then when spring rolls around, clay all the crap off from winter and go ahead with the waxes and all that. 
P.S. If I know its gonna snow the next day, I usually spray the inner fenders and spots where I know snow will want to build up with the Undercarriage Spray.  It helps keep it from sticking.

Those album pics are from before the CC.
If the sun shows itself tomorrow, I'll take her out for some sweet super-shiny shots . 
 
But for those that don't want to bother with profiles and albums...here ya go
 

Welcome to the forums Devon, the Oakley display case is sweet.

Gave my mother's car some lovin' the other weekend....It was much needed. Every time I washed the car I felt all the "grit" underneath my wash mitt even though the paint "looked" clean. It has never been clayed in it's 130,000 miles of driving and it has certainly never been polished before. 
 
I did all the normal wheel well cleaning, tire scrubbing, wheel face/barrel cleaning first and then I got to the good stuff....
 
I gave it a nice "strip wash" using another brand's soap that is PH rated at 11 which helps pull any old sealant/wax off the vehicle. I then clayed it with a visco clay bar and my homemade detail spray. The amount of gunk that was on the roof was incredible....
 
After that I rinsed it down, dried it off and applied VRT to all the plastic trims as to not stain it from any polish/wax. I then wiped the paint down with a "paint prep" otherwise known as wax & grease remover so my polishing pads performance was not affected from anything still on the paint. 
 
I used Adams 21mm SK with their orange pads and another company's compound for a one step polish. I topped it all of with some BW to really make the red POP. It's some nice factory paint that hasn't shined this well since it was new. Overall I worked for about 6-7 hours on it including a quick interior detail (no pictures of that, though). Tires were done with VRT by the way...
 
There were some more serious defects that I could've gone after with a microfiber cutting pad and some more aggressive compound, but this is a daily driver with 130,000 miles on it so I would say this is perfect for her. 
 

I think we are all missing a point here...this is how Adam's stays in business. It's job security, and an addiction enabler. ?

My daughter made me this watercolor for Father's Day.  ?
 

All three vehicles washed and H2O GnG. 

Third straight weekend of staining cabinets.  One more weekend and should have this part of the renovation project wrapped up.  Then it will be gutting and redoing the master bathroom.  Not sure what the weird purple color is on the one cabinet.  It isn't there physically. 
 
 

The All Purpose Cleaner has worked well for mine and they are the tan color.

Adam's paint sealant

Ok, this is one of my favorite beading pics I've taken, it is from this past winter on the glass top of the wife's Veloster.
 

Washed, clayed and sealed.
 
 
 

No words needed lol. On the flip side, my county has one of the best and most respected Sheriff’s Departments in the country.
