    Joe@Adams got a reaction from Dan@Adams in Detail Clinic and Filming Day at Mid America Motorworks   
    This last weekend, Adam, Matt and myself had the pleasure of traveling to Mid America Motorworks in Effingham IL to complete a full day of video production and a day dedicated to an Adam's Polishes detail clinic.
     
    What can I say about Mid America Motorworks?  Well, they were incredibly hospitable.  Mike Yager, the owner of Mid America Motorworks made us feel like family from the time we walked into his conference room.  What a great guy and that genuine warmth pours out of his team as well.  We were able to meet his wife and two sons who are all involved at M.A.M.  
     
    Ed Baumgarten, Mid America Motorworks photographer was amazing.  Very professional and very very helpful.  He has an incredible studio for shooting amazing cars and had a lot of cool camera gear I was checking out (only problem was it is Nikon and I shoot Canon.  Not a big deal though).  He took a bunch of great shots and was always reminding Adam to keep the label towards him.  Ed's son Alex was also very helpful on the day we showed up.  He is the videographer for the company and also does some research and development for the company as well.  You could see his passion for getting a great shot, as he showed us around the different areas of the campus for shooting locations.  We definitely took his advice and got some great content.
     
    Overall the experience was one of a kind.  We ate at only one restaurant the whole time we were there which was called "Firefly" and it was amazing food.  I was able to see actual fireflies which everyone in that area call "Lighting Bugs."  Also the catfish in the pond out back of the restaurant were crazy.  Check out the video of Matt feeding them to see the madness.
     
    We look forward to getting back out there for Corvette Funfest this year.  We'll be putting on clinics and selling our product this year and you'll see almost the whole team.  Lookout for more announcements on Corvette Funfest and more about Adam's Polishes relationship with Mid America Motorworks here on the forum and other social media outlets.

    Hello Everyone,
     
    I had the pleasure of traveling to Reno, NV for Hot August Nights about two weeks ago.  It was a great time and there were so many great cars.  We had some amazing cars in our booth and were able to help some of our friends polish up their customs.  Adam was able to head down to the Eldorado and help the Top 25 Barrett Jackson Cup Nominees shine up their cars.  Overall it was very busy but was great meeting new people and making some cars look amazing.  Enjoy the video coverage from the event.  Look out for a Photo Gallery early next week.

    A customer of ours, Jason, recently purchased a brand new M3. He has brought it to the shop multiple times and we have been dying to get our hands on it to take some photos. We were finally able to set up a day for him to drop it off to us. Here are some of the photos I got of it and thought you all would like them too!
     
    These were my favorite of the bunch.. What do you guys think?

    The other two cars did not have a cover on them so they got wasted by not only the fire but the water and debris caused by the fire fighters.

    Joe@Adams got a reaction from scootertrash19 in 1940 Ford Coupe Charred in Garage Fire   
    Hello everyone,
     
    I wanted to finally post the writeup on the 1940 Ford Coupe that was brought to us about a month and a half ago.  The story of this amazing car is pretty incredible.  Enjoy the story and the pictures to go along with it.
     

     
    The customer pictured above brought his 1940 Ford into us to see if there was anything we could do for him.  He told us that the car had survived a fire inside of a garage that had been struck by lighting.  He two other cars in the garage and they didn't make it.  This Ford is a car that he has put a lot of work into and was crushed that it was threatened by the fire.
     

     
    The car was covered but the night before the lighting strike the gentleman went into the garage, opened the trunk to air it out and left the cover pulled back towards the middle of the car.  This caused the distinct char line on the back of the car pictured above.  Now, as you can see the car looks destroyed and let me tell you, if I had a link for you to be able to click and smell your nose hairs would burn from the terrible smoke smell.
     

     
    After a little bit of discussion we gladly accepted the the car and drove it over to wash in our washing area.  The gentleman drove off with high hopes but still pretty bummed with the current state of his precious car.
     
    While I took advantage of snapping photos of before and after, I didn't get much of the process.  But, I did get a lot of video footage of the revitalize/detail process which I'm editing into a short video that I took a break from to deliver this write up.  So I will post a response to this topic with the finished video link.  The video has Adam working a lot on the car and a few of our other team members.
     

     
    So, as you can see the '40 Ford turned out perfect!  A lot of the char and smell came off after a two bucket wash.  The interesting thing was Adam added about six ounces of Rinseless Wash to the normal two bucket wash.  It helped with lubricity and smell.
     
    The big job and the thing that took up most of the char and smoke damage was the Clay Bar.  Adam and two of our other team members clayed the car twice for good measure.  They clayed everything excluding the rubber.  It was amazing how the clay grabbed all the nastiness right off the paint.
     

     
    After claying the whole car the men started to polish the paint of the car.  Using our two stage polishing system they started with the Cyclo Polisher paired with the Orange Microfiber Pads and the Paint Correcting Polish.  That did some great work but they then moved on to the White Microfiber Pads and the Paint Finishing Polish.  You all should have seen the pads.  They were very wasted from the smoke damage on the paint.
     
    Next the fellas moved on to the Orange Foam Pads and the Paint Correcting Polish still with the Cyclo Polisher.  They were near perfect and finally finished the job with the White Foam Pads and the Paint Finishing Polish.  This made the paint look perfect.  Not only did the two step polishing system take away all the smoke damage it also fixed all the swirl marks in the paint. After polishing the paint the fellas put a nice coat of Brilliant Glaze on the paint and sealed it with our amazing Americana Paste Wax.  The metallic look in the paint was sparkling like new!
     
    After the polishing of the paint, Adam and our other team members moved on to the chrome accents.  They used our two stage metal polish system using our Metal Polish 1 and Metal Polish 2.  While working on the chrome accents Adam, being the detailer he is, didn't want to miss the engine.  So as the two guys finished the accents Adam moved on to the engine using All Purpose Cleaner to take off all the nastiness and then they all went at it with the metal polish system.  The engine looked amazing after the detail as you can see from above.
     

     
    As you can see here our customer came back to pick up his beautiful classic and was very surprised how the Ford came back to life.  You could see the instant gratification he was feeling and even gave Adam a hug in appreciation.  It was amazing how our product took to the fire damaged coupe.  I have to say as the guy taking pictures and video I was very amazed how well the car came out and am very impressed with the result.  
     
    I hoped you enjoyed this story and write up.  Please stay tuned for the video on this classic due to the candid nature of the video and how much fun the guys were having detailing this car.  Thank you for your time.

    After claying the whole car the men started to polish the paint of the car.  Using our two stage polishing system they started with the Cyclo Polisher paired with the Orange Microfiber Pads and the Paint Correcting Polish.  That did some great work but they then moved on to the White Microfiber Pads and the Paint Finishing Polish.  You all should have seen the pads.  They were very wasted from the smoke damage on the paint.
     
    Next the fellas moved on to the Orange Foam Pads and the Paint Correcting Polish still with the Cyclo Polisher.  They were near perfect and finally finished the job with the White Foam Pads and the Paint Finishing Polish.  This made the paint look perfect.  Not only did the two step polishing system take away all the smoke damage it also fixed all the swirl marks in the paint. After polishing the paint the fellas put a nice coat of Brilliant Glaze on the paint and sealed it with our amazing Americana Paste Wax.  The metallic look in the paint was sparkling like new!
     
    After the polishing of the paint, Adam and our other team members moved on to the chrome accents.  They used our two stage metal polish system using our Metal Polish 1 and Metal Polish 2.  While working on the chrome accents Adam, being the detailer he is, didn't want to miss the engine.  So as the two guys finished the accents Adam moved on to the engine using All Purpose Cleaner to take off all the nastiness and then they all went at it with the metal polish system.  The engine looked amazing after the detail as you can see from above.
     

     
    As you can see here our customer came back to pick up his beautiful classic and was very surprised how the Ford came back to life.  You could see the instant gratification he was feeling and even gave Adam a hug in appreciation.  It was amazing how our product took to the fire damaged coupe.  I have to say as the guy taking pictures and video I was very amazed how well the car came out and am very impressed with the result.  
     
    I hoped you enjoyed this story and write up.  Please stay tuned for the video on this classic due to the candid nature of the video and how much fun the guys were having detailing this car.  Thank you for your time.

    Joe@Adams got a reaction from Chewy in 1940 Ford Coupe Charred in Garage Fire   
    Hello everyone,
     
    I wanted to finally post the writeup on the 1940 Ford Coupe that was brought to us about a month and a half ago.  The story of this amazing car is pretty incredible.  Enjoy the story and the pictures to go along with it.
     

     
    The customer pictured above brought his 1940 Ford into us to see if there was anything we could do for him.  He told us that the car had survived a fire inside of a garage that had been struck by lighting.  He two other cars in the garage and they didn't make it.  This Ford is a car that he has put a lot of work into and was crushed that it was threatened by the fire.
     

     
    The car was covered but the night before the lighting strike the gentleman went into the garage, opened the trunk to air it out and left the cover pulled back towards the middle of the car.  This caused the distinct char line on the back of the car pictured above.  Now, as you can see the car looks destroyed and let me tell you, if I had a link for you to be able to click and smell your nose hairs would burn from the terrible smoke smell.
     

     
    After a little bit of discussion we gladly accepted the the car and drove it over to wash in our washing area.  The gentleman drove off with high hopes but still pretty bummed with the current state of his precious car.
     
    While I took advantage of snapping photos of before and after, I didn't get much of the process.  But, I did get a lot of video footage of the revitalize/detail process which I'm editing into a short video that I took a break from to deliver this write up.  So I will post a response to this topic with the finished video link.  The video has Adam working a lot on the car and a few of our other team members.
