I was the same about the microfiber sponge. When I first saw it, I thought it looked pretty good but nothing mind blowing...... Bought a couple and I love them, rotating them in my rinse bucket. Its like washing your car with s single soft towel and easy to maintain 

I use the red or blue CS in my foam cannon and wash and wax in the bucket. I dont find suds a problem with the wash and wax as I dont fill the bucket until Im ready to start hand washing 

that came with my foam cannon from Adam's Aus. If you get completely stuck, contact Joseph, the aussie distributor. Im sure he could point you in the right direction. I recently switched over to the Mosmatic gun set up on Obsessed Garage which is all quick connect fittings so I dont use this Karcher piece anymore

Do you mean the Cannon or the Gun? The adapter for the cannon screws into the cannon and the other end has the twist and lock for the Karcher wand

You can get a Karcher adapter that takes the place of the 1/4" quick connect adapter. Im not sure if Adam's in the US do this, but its an option here on the Aus site. I have a K4 Karcher and the red foam cannon works great with it. 

look after her Dan, the last of the Aussie made monster right there 

They're very versatile, mate. Dont be scared to try the waterless wash when your car is mildly dirty. My vinyl stripes on my Stang get dirty quicker than the rest of the car and I often spray them down with waterless and wipe them clean. No issues with scratching, as long as you follow the general rule of thumb....... wipe in one direction, lightly and let the towel do the work

Got a link? I didn't see the swivel on the website.

PM'd Wasnt sure about Forum rules. I sent you 2 links, one for complete wand set up and one for gun only 

I just pre-ordered Matt's swivel wand set up today.... Living in Aus, it wasnt cheap but it looks like a great combo and very convenient with the quick connects 

I only got the 12mm one in the hopes that the swirl killer 15mm would be come available, so having the smaller one will still be helpful with a smaller backing plate too. Are we getting the mini here as well?

In due time mate. I think its a matter of getting our plug style and voltage done on them. I have the Cyclo Polisher but Im considering getting the SK 

Hey Guys,

 

I did a quick search on here, but couldn't find a 'defined' answer for this. I have ordered my first polisher (12mm Shinemate DA, not Adam's as we don't have access to them here in Aus yet   - hint hint!) and it comes with a couple of pads. I have some Adam's 5" pads on order, and I was wondering if there is any special procedure for the very first time you use the pad. Do you have to prime them with anything before using them, or are they good to use straight out of the packaging? I know many people use a shot of detail spray or distilled water to help reactivate previous polish in the pad when they are in use, but no real instructions on the first time using the pads from brand new. 

 

I have read about some 'other' brand pads needing to be primed and used lubricated for the first few passes to reduce the chance of pad and foam dust, and failing to do so can lead to a fair amount of dust and foam particles being thrown everywhere until the pad wears in. I would like to avoid this and also avoid causing any damage to my paintwork in the process - as I have never used a polisher before 

 

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Joseph is about to put the Swirl Killers on the site in a matter of days. Take the shine mate back haha

There is no escaping is there :-)

 

I mean if I'm going to put up some nice shots of the pony once clean I need to go and good gear for the cleaning right? well that's my excuse

Absolutely. Joseph, the Aussie distributor is on 6G too. He is a fantastic detailer and is more than happy to answer your questions...... He has put up with mine for years now haha and has really made me a better detailer 

Hi there

 

So I have taken the plunge and am buying a 2017 GT Mustang (triple Yellow). I take delivery of my Pony car on 1 May. This is a fair step up for me in terms of cars (first time muscle car owner) and its a car for the next 10 years. It s a big deal in Australia as well as this is the first true Right Hand Drive version of the car that has been imported to Australia - so pretty excited. 

 

So I am very keen to learn the skills necessary to keep her in the best possible condition inside and out.

 

Cheers

 

Paul 

Hey! Get back on the 6G forums lol Welcome!, Im sure you will be happy with Adam's products

Come live in Australia and pay the prices we have to for Adam's products. Im pretty sure you wont complain after that 

You should try converting all the dilution ratios to litres  it makes it even more confusing. Damn metric system 

You lucky buggers, getting to try all these new products so quickly. I'll await the slow boat to Aus before I can try them 

Looks Fantastic!! You have our last Aussie Built Holden right there, look after her. 

Thankfully I still have some quick sealant, but once that runs out H2O will replace it 

That's going to shine up real good !!!!

 

 

Pay special attention to the taillights when you clean it up, don't want those Holden boyz to have to look at dirty taillights

Yes, they dont realise their 6.2 litre has already been beaten by the little 5.0....... I just let them have their moment. Here are some daytime shots after a full Adam's bath and H2O G+G finish

Thanks guys. Im loving my first American Muscle Car. The only drawback........ All the Chevy powered Holden boys wanting to race or try and show me their car is better. I guess boys will always be boys!

Well after a 15 month long wait my dream car finally arrived here in the land of Aus. My 2016 Mustang GT. I had Joseph the Adam's Aussie distributor come along who took these pics for me when I took delivery. Thank you Joseph!

USA would be even better if they would move Holden manufacturing over here!

Sadly the days of the Holden Commodore and the HSV ( Holden Special Vehicle ) are over. Aussie manufacturing ceases in 2017. Ford Aus also stops building the Falcon. 2 Aussie icons gone forever...... Sad times indeed. but Ford Aus have started bringing in the Mustang ( hope to get mine at the end of May ) and Holden is yet to disclose what they will be doing.

Rumours of Camaro and Corvette have been thrown around but neither are engineered to be right hand drive. I know the market would go crazy if they bought in either vehicle though. We are a country of Euro cars, Small Korean made cars and Mini SUV's at the moment, so Im glad some V8 muscle is being bought in with the Mustang to start with 

Australia is better ..... Im kidding guys!! I've been to the US 5 times and have loved it every time. If I had to live anywhere else in the world it would be the USA
