    quebert got a reaction from stalebreadjr in Uses VRT for the 1st time recently.   
    It doesn't say tire on the bottle so I'm guessing it's the previous formulation.  The cowl on my friends Corolla was oxidated so it looked pretty milky and faded.  Cleaned it up with APC, let dry fully then applied VRT with a MF sponge.  So I took pics, but my phone sucks and most of they didn't come out good enough to show a decent before and after. These 2 are the best of the bunch.  I did this 3 weeks ago and looking at it yesterday and it still looked as good as day one.  I'm impressed
     
    Was fast and easy, even if I have to re-do it every 4 weeks, it only took me about 5 minutes total and I used next to none of the product.  I don't know why I waited this long to try VRT, but it's going to be big  in my arsenal now for sure. I definitely want to try the new Sio2 infused formula.

    I don't know how many bottles you made here, but it'll definitely sell out ASAP so that should be a good amount of donated bottles for people who really need it.
     
    I'm just one person, but IMHO even after this pandemic has been handled this should be a permanent product. It would be nice to have access to a hand sanitizer that isn't gel and has a decent amount of alcohol in it.

    Just make it so if you add 3, 6, or 12 a discount's automatically applied, they're all the same price right? It wouldn't be any more work on their end than if I added 6 different ones to my cart and bought them.  I know for Adam's base customer this would be a whatever thing because how many do normal people go thru? Very few. But as a detailer I might use 25 a week. 
     
    *EDIT* Okay, I was wrong I just looked and some are $3.99 and I see a few that are $1.99, they could do a variety option with a drop down that just had the ones the deal applies too. That would save me $20'ish a month if I bought them here, which isn't a lot, but would be enough to uhhh buy some more Adam's products lol.

    This is another thread for me to make the suggestion for Adam's to offer the variety air fresheners packs but where you can pick which you want. Getting 6 for $13 instead of $18 add's up when you put one in most of your customers car.  Like towels, I'd definitely buy them in 12 packs too.

    I've been using the Tire Armor for a few months now and wanted to share my thoughts in video form. I have a truck on 37's that sees lots of dirt action, and I was mowing through VRT like it was water! I can't believe how long this Tire Armor lasts, even when my truck gets driven through rain and off road. Absolutely 10/10 recommend this stuff to anyone looking for a more durable tire coating!

    quebert got a reaction from mc2hill in Clients and those who detail for dollars.   
    I use to be terrible about cutting deals with potential customers who were ready to walk away when I told them the price. I thought if they saw the quality of my detailing they would become converted. A few yes, but most stayed a cheap skate who would not expect to low ball me. And like OP said, they never seemed overly happy with the work, even at the big discount I'd give them. I refuse to budge on my pricing now, but if a potential customer's being reasonable and just trying to save a little cash. I will offer them an "upgrade" that doesn't cost me any more $$$. Like instead of the spray sealant I'll use a ceramic infused liquid carnuba wax.  Or I'll throw in a small extra like a quick spraying of Adam's Odor Neutralizer.  I won't come down on what I charge, and I won't listen to "can you switch the spray wax to a spray sealant?" Nickel & dimers are the worst to deal with on any regular basis.  If a person's starting to walk away immediately after I tell them a price, I wave good bye. My town has a hundred white detail van guys who will gladly do a $20-25 wash on a big s$$ F250. Nope, not me! I see a man and woman white van team, they do what seems like half the cars in my neighborhood. They must do 30 vehicles a day. One's doing the outside while the other's doing the inside. I'm sure at the end of the week they have a decent bank roll, but that's a looooot of constant work. I don't mind working all day, but I'd prefer to do 2-3 3 hour details and not 15 15 minute quicky ones.

    The tire shine is about an 8 on a gloss scale,  it gives my  Bridgestones a nice very even glow.  Here is a picture of a tire that had tire shine on it, and what it looks like after i cleaned it.  The bottom 2 are VRT on my 2001 Silverado.  Sorry I dont have a pic on hand of fresh tire shine

    The updated TS is excellent, I really like it and it does indeed hold up very well!  It looks very similar to the older version but will hold up better in rain driving and even against the pressure washer and fender brush.  In fact even after scrubbing with the above and T&R cleaner, my tires still have a deep dark black matte look to them.  Of course every tire will be different.  The updated VRT is very similar and has blown me away with its water beading and longevity!  I think you will be very happy with both of these within your business.  Best of luck! 👍

    quebert reacted to TR6speed in Ceramic Spray Kit, Ceramic Spray UV, Ceramic Spray   
    I asked a question about the seemingly flow of new Ceramic spray products and while I did get replies I am still lost because no one was able to help and many agreed they had the same question.  Now don't get me wrong I have been an Adams user since almost his very beginning when he was in California.  That was back in the days of Revive Polish, Buttery Wax Detail Spray and All Purpose Cleaner and of course the Plush Blue microfiber towels.
    So here is my dilemma, I have always been a wash, clay, polish and wax type of guy.  When the ceramic craze started I looked at it as a lazy mans why to keep his ride looking good, so I stuck with my tries and true method.  Then I happened to noticed that Adam had the spray ceramic that looked like a great product for the wife's SUV, but I was not planning on doing my Corvette with it.  So I ordered the Ceramic Kit for $100 that came with the Prep, Coating and Boost.  I first tried it on my son's (Adam user also) brand new Silverado Z71 4x4.  I was really impressed and then I found the time to do the complete strip wash, clay, one step polish and then the prep, and finished with the spray coating.
    Next because I was so impressed I decided in the nest few weeks I will do my car, so I decided to order some of the maintenance products which I did.  Two bottles of the Wash & Coat, 64 oz. bottle of the Ceramic Waterless, and a bottle of Boost.
    After buying all this, I happen to see on a Facebook post from Adams the new CS3, so I went to the site to see just exactly what it was only to find out he now offers a new Spray Ceramic Coating also.
    Now here is my real question.   I have the original Ceramic Spray Coating, the UV Ceramic Spray Coating and now with this new Ceramic Spray Coating I am trying to find out what are the differences, should I stop using the original and forgo the UV and jump to the new Spray coating.  Or can I simply continue to use the original until it is used up and then use the UV and final switch over to the new spray coating?  I final figured out that the CS3 is not something that is required fir my cars as I have the Ceramic Waterless and the boost., it is just the three different ceramic spray products that I am trying yo get straight.  Finally with the UV is the UV light required, as I did not order one.
    Sorry for being so long winded

    Going to mention this again, the multi-pack of the air fresheners is great. But y'all should sell multi-packs where you get to pick.  Getting random ones is fun, but for my business I'd like to order exactly what my customers want. Do it like the towels. 1, 2, 4, 6 & maybe 12 packs. When I see something 1 for $10 6 for 40 and a dozen for like $70, I'm probably going to order the dozen even if I don't need that much. I can resist deals.

    I like the idea, especially right after the holidays as my money's low, but I still want some more detailing stuff   Tried a $100 order, hay I get 6 weeks to pay it so that's no problem. Well, except for  DENIED!  They told me to try with less stuff, or try again in a few days who knows maybe it'll magically work?  Not to be deterred, I waited a few days and tried with $75 in my cart. 2nd try... DENIED! My pride was a lil' hurt lol, I waited a few more days and tried $50, hummm, DENIED? lol. Now my credit's not great, but I have a Captial One credit card which they just raised my limit because I've been good with payments for a year. And I have 2 other charge cards. Both of which I pay over the payment amount every month and have never been late. And a few years ago I paid off a car loan with no late payments. And I have a bank account that's always been in good standings. Now I just need to try and save face so I'm almost ready to order something like 1 bottle of spray wax with it just so I'm not left with the bad taste of my last attempt being getting denied. But part of me is scared of getting denied for $20 lol. My credit score's probably closer to the poor end (when I was younger, ugh just yeah lol) But this is the 1st thing I've been denied for in a long time. If I get denied for $20, I'm done with detailing for awhile. It'll be time to find a cheaper hobby apparently. 
     
    Anyone here use it? I understand people with not great credit are a risk, but I can get approved for credit cards and such, I'd think ordering a few items off here would be a breeze *siiigh* Now it looks like I gotta wait until I get paid so I can order what I wanted to order.

    quebert reacted to Sandalwood in Compare Products website feature?   
    I would like to see a Compare Products feature on the website. Or a list of strength and aggressiveness for certain products.

    For instance, is one step polish on an MF or orange pad more aggressive than correcting polish on an orange pad? 

    Or, is Wash and Wax or H20 G&G  stronger than using Spray Wax or Detail Spray in between waxes?

    There are just so many products now compared to just a few yers ago, It's really difficult to decide, and the website descriptions don't detail much in comparing their own products.

    I don't do Instagram (I think that's where it was from) so I didn't know this was a thing, someone on another forum sent me a message telling  me about. The post sent me said 20% off, is this just for tomorrow or is that at every get together? I'm broke so going tomorrow would suck. But next month! I live like 25 minutes from the Anaheim store. Going there + getting 20% off + going down the street to get Leadbellys BBQ would be a hellova Saturday.
