    Welcome! I think first place needs to post some pics of their cars 
    and yes, I cannot think of any other company big or small with such attention to their customers.

    Thanks for the comparison pic Chris. I still prefer the looks of the leather conditioner, however I can see how the new matte dressing would be a good option. Specially on leather seats.

    Chonke got a reaction from DaFunkyFish in Adams Leather and Interior Cleaner - what to use if no deep cleaning eraser?   
    I usually use grey utility towels and the cockpit brush for my interior. It does take some scrubbing to get out the deeper stains, but you dont have to press hard.

    another vote for the sealant option. You can always layer americana and brilliant glaze on top of that later, but the sealant will protect you the longest.

    Chonke reacted to LSX Maestro in Metro vac suggestions   
    As a Golden Retriever owner I can vouch for the stones effectiveness.  They work well.  Some seats (Like my GM trucks/SUVs) have a plush felt surface on the back of the seats and my god is that stuff impossible to clean the hair out of though. Air compressor, shop vac, stone, and the grace of God and you might get it clean.

    Even though admin isnt responsible for any trades that go on in the forum, ive seen them step up and take care of any thing that can go wrong in here. Its amazing how far their customer service extends.

    I do sealant, wax, then glaze. My theory is the item that lasts the longest first, but i havent really noticed a difference.

    Chonke got a reaction from shane@detailedreflections in Which product should I buy?   
    I like using carpet and upholstery cleaner on cloth interiors and interior detailer on any plastic/leather/vinyl trim. If you need something stronger for stains, i use interior cleaner. But since its a new car, I doubt youll be needing that anytime soon.
     
    I also recommend leather conditioner on the dashboard. Itll leave it looking a bit shiny and keep it from collecting as much dust. Plus it has UV protection in case you live in a really sunny area.

    Chonke got a reaction from SVillalon in Foam Sprayer w/Tire N Rubber cleaner   
    So I just received my Foam Sprayer yesterday and got a chance to try it out today. I bought it for the sole purpose of cleaning my wheels with it, so i was kinda skeptical about how it would work because most info I found was based on using shampoo with it. 
     
    So anyway, I was really surprised at how well it worked with Tire n Rubber cleaner. It foamed up just like a shampoo would, and stayed on long enough to see dirt falling off without having to scrub. At first, I poured 8 ounces into the sprayer and didnt dilute it at all. I figured if it doesnt work, at least I can still use whats left. After pumping it and seeing a thick dense foam stream shoot out, I then added another 8 ounces of water, so its a rough 1:1 dilution. I know its still a lot of chemical for what I need so eventually ill play around with dilution ratios.
    Heres a picture of how it foamed up:

     
    The dirt falling off after just sitting there:
     
     
    Keep in mind, this car had been washed about 2 weeks ago, and had not been driven since. It just sat there getting dusty for 2 weeks so it wasnt as dirty as a driven car. 
     
    I do have a few question, for those of you who have used it with Tire n Rubber cleaner before, how much did you dilute it? Any tips on how much water to add?
     
    Also, I noticed that on the last wheel, the foam wasnt spraying in a line anymore, it started shooting a stream of foam. Anyone know why this happened? 
     
    And lastly, it says that the sprayer should be cleaned after every use, however, would it be safe to just clean the nozzle and leave the liquid inside? Id hate to waste the leftover every time I use it. 
     
    Overall Im very happy with the results and Ill probably end up getting a second one for the wheel cleaner soon. Hopefully this will also help save product since I usually waste about half a bottle of tire n rubber cleaner when washing all 3 cars.

    I really enjoy videos where people wash or restore random vehicles. Maybe go to a customers house and record the process of how you clean/repair that particular vehicle. Maybe a truck that just got back from offroading, or how to clean a wrapped car, etc...That way we can see how well the products work with abused vehicles and it shows different an creative ways to use your products.

    I built something like this on my garage. I have a bunch of tools and I split the left side for all my cleaning supplies and gallon refills, and the right side has all my tools and stuff. On the bottom i still have room for my shop vac, lawn mower, table saw, car jack, etc...

    Chonke got a reaction from shane@detailedreflections in Market Research: Paint Protection Film   
    Through a customer point of view and car fanatic, I dont see myself ever using protection film on my cars. I feel like thats like buying a brand new 70" flat screen tv and leaving the protective plastic on to keep it from getting scratched. 
     
    However, if I ever did consider putting a film on my car, id probably choose a place with the best reviews wether online or word of mouth regardless of its a small or large business. I have had plenty of bad experiences with big and small companies to narrow it down based on those guidelines. 
     
    As for the coverage, I would choose to cover as much or as little as I possibly can. I would hate to invest so much money on protecting it, only to give it tan lines. 
     
    And considering what I mentioned, I would have a hard time getting convinced to wrap my car even if it was free. Thats just my personal opinion, which could be the minority.

    Chonke got a reaction from rondre in Ultra Plush drying towel question   
    I also have the dry me a river towel, and it doesnt come close to adams ultra plush towel. Its more similar to the great white drying towel and i cant stand any waffle weave towels. I use those to clean and condition my boots now. 
     
    As far as which side to use, It honestly doesnt make a difference. After hours of careful testing and observation, they both dry the same.

    Chonke got a reaction from 2Fords in Rinseless Wash - Great Results!   
    I love the shine that rinseless leaves on your car. Its much more noticeable than waterless. However, waterless is my favorite to remove bugs stuck on the front of the car. 
    The only thing is that I cant get the same results as waterless when I dilute rinseless. Ive tried different ratios with no luck. Comes close, but not enough to completely replace waterless wash.

    I have been subscribed for a while and really enjoy the channel.
     
    I like the old videos as much as the new.  I like to see the history of the company.
     
    As you mentioned, behind the scenes videos would be pretty sweet.  Maybe a daily operation video.  The evolution of developing a new product etc
     
    Also i think there has been a lot of interest in new product videos,  ultra foam shampoo, and 1step.  I feel we all have unanswered questions about these new items.
     
    I think thats all I have for now, hope everyone enjoys their holiday!
    Keep up the great work!
