    USCGRetiredJosh got a reaction from b_pappy in Flex or cyclo?   
    My vote is Cyclo and a Rupes mini, they use the same size pads. I use the Rupes mini for the small areas and the Cyclo for the rest. Some people don't think the Cyclo is great but its been around for a long time and is considered one of the first big throw polishers.

    A little update: For some reason 2 tries with super glue and five minute epoxy the cap won't stay glued together. So I used good old fashion electrical tape now.

    So I like to get every last drop of product out of all my bottles. So I decided to make an easy use holder. I took 2 old capes that I had laying around and epoxied them together. I tried super glue but it didn't hold. Once the epoxy dried I drilled a hole and then used a dremel with a grinding bit to enlarge the hole. Then WALA all done.

    My wife thinks I have and addiction. I showed her each bottle on my detailing cart and what its for, and all I got in response was "they look". Then my response to her was, "you sure don't complain how nice and shiny your 4runner looks". Then there was silence and I went back to cleaning my truck.

    USCGRetiredJosh got a reaction from Schell21 in Adams old blue Clay bar vs New Visco clay bar "Test"   
    So I decide to see how much better the visco clay bar is compared to the old clay bar and below are my findings. (My little science test)
     
    Test subject: Wifes 2010 4Runner that she's owned since 2011(Previous owner didn't take care of it at all)
    Detail spray as lube.
     
    Left side hood, front bumper, and front panel: blue clay bar first and then followed up with visco clay
     
    Right side hood, front bumper, and front panel: Visco clay by itself.
     
    First 2 pic are before shots.
     
    Next pic is showing new clay bars.
     
    Blue clay bar after doing the Left side as stated above.
     
    Next 2 pics are Visco after going of Left side after blue clay bar.
     
    Then the pic of Visco clay doing the Right hand side by itself.
     
    The last 3 pics are after shoots.
     
    My Conclusion on blue clay vs Visco clay: I found that the Visco clay pulls more contamination from the paint than the blue. If you look a the picture of the blue clay and visco clay side by side, you can see that the visco pulled more contamination after the blue clay bar went first. 
     
    Other info to add: I had my wife feel the hood to see if she felt a difference on either side and she said no. I followed up with paint sealant until I get time to correct and finish her vehicle. The vehicle needs a paint job due to lack of care from previous owner. 
     
    Any questions ask away.

    USCGRetiredJosh got a reaction from Texas Moe in My winter project   
    So this winter I made myself a detailing cart and easy dispense gallon containers. I got the cart from jet.com with a 15% off coupon, and made the bottle holder. Another holder is painting at this time for the in and out can, Foam gun(looks better with an Adams sticker on it), and mini pump sprayer for my wheel cleaner. Also got some pour spouts from eBay and made holes in the caps of the gallon caps and now its easier to fill the bottles with. I'm going to order a couple more of the spouts and make more easy for gallons.
     
    Of course all my products are Adams........Some thing tells me I need more Adams product.
     
    I keep my Cyclo, mini Rupes, pads, and clay bar in my old "wax spreader" container.
