Weird. It appears to be deleted from YouTube as well. I just went in to my account to post the YT link for you and it says video has been deleted. Maybe they are working on an updated video.

That is so weird. Cause heat is generally a bad thing for electronics.

Working at the firehouse today. Our probie on my shift, and at my station, came off probation last week. Traditionally the probie cooks a “high end” dinner for his shift at their respective station/crew and the shift commander. Tonight he cooked. I didn’t get a pic of the whole table but here is a shot of my plate. (I had more than the one crab ?)

Here is my 3-4 year old beagle we rescued a couple of years ago.

Not a football fan but we are watching. Made some pulled pork nachos, potatoes skins, and cheese stuffed jalapeños. Might enjoy a beer soon but I am nursing a cold.

Or you could make your own to use with a garden hose. I made this out of plumbing parts and attached it to a broom handle.

Uggh. Less than a week ago we had negative temps and 13” of snow. Now we have no snow, it’s 58 degrees and torrential downpours. Localized flooding. Welcome to New England! Hopefully I can get out sometime soon and clean the truck a bit. Even if it’s just an undercarriage spray and a power wash of the body.

Welcome to the forum and Adams family! I too am from CT. Nice to see others on this forum from CT.

I am also a fan and daily user of Tapatalk. This would be a great idea. The end user (we the people) would have control over what we want to see. It’s very user friendly and very customizable by the end user. I know the Adams team will see this thread. I hope many other members on here are also on Tapatalk and will chime in and show their support. I do not know what is involved in the back end of what the work load would be to get the forum viewable on Tapatalk.

I have not seen the standard foam gun, but I had similar problem on the premium. The remedy was to just slightly loosen the quick connect on the end where the canister connects to the nozzle. Still it’s a tight connection with now leaks after slightly loosening. Best of luck

Yup. Straight garden hose. And I am feeling crazy I can hook my garden hose to a hot water hook up and use hot water to do the rinse.

Zman024 I like your idea. I might try that out!

Zman024, Rich Got a few shots of the homemade undercarriage sprayer. Nothing special. It it works pretty good as long as you have decent water pressure. Made from misc plumbing parts and drilled a few 1/8” holes (drilled in different directions). Used a 4ish foot long push broom replacement handle to attach the sprayer head to. Slides pretty good on the pavement. In hind sight (and easily remedied) I should have used 1 less hole for better pressure. But none the less it still works pretty darn good. And I put a quick disconnect on it as all of my hoses have them. This sprayer gets attached to the hose that also had a thumb shutoff at the end to make it easy to turn in and off and move about.

Rich First off, that’s crazy that it is mandatory and you have to pay for it all. Secondly, it does sound like it was interesting to watch. That’s how I grew up, watching all kinds of trades working, absorbing a lot of info. It’s probably why my wife always says “how do you know all this stuff?” I would have like to have seen what and how they did your work.

I will try to grab a shot or 2 of it tomorrow.

Washed the truck today. It was above freezing so I took out the hose and my home built undercarriage sprayer and thoroughly rinsed the underside. Loaded up my wash bucket with hot water soap and a wash pad and sealed the lid. Threw that in the back of the truck. Put th Ultra Plush drying towel, detail spray, all purpose spray and a wheel brush in the cab. Drove over to the pay and spray to get to work. Found out that they installed a high pressure undercarriage sprayer with a roller on it to get under vehicles!!! Not only that but it also sprays Salt-A-Way!! ?????? So I washed the underside again with that! Did a slow methodical pre rinse with the pressure washer. Did my wash pad, then used the APC, and left over wash to get tires and rims. Rinsed again and pulled out into the sun and dried the DS and the Ultra Plush. Between setting up at my house doing the whole process and then cleaning up bucket and tools at home only took me 2 hours. Annd it’s supposed to rain and snow on Friday again. At least I have 2 days with a clean truck

Welcome to the forum.. Glad to hear another member from CT!

Jealous!!

That’s a nice pull box you have there!! Does it still have the guts?

Hahaha. Isee what you did there.

After almost 2 months ( vacation, a week of crappy weather and then surgery) I was finally able to wash the RAM. Man was it dirty. Couldn’t dress the tires or the trim becuse I completely forgot I had an appointment in the afternoon. So I had to skip those steps. But at least she is clean.

Subscribed because I also have a RAM and will be buying the trim coating soon to do EVERY price of black plastic and rubber on the truck. (More than I realized when I bought it now that I am Adams obsessed and being uber picky about my truck) And I didn't think about how tricky that area would be. Let's see what the consensus is on this

About 60% in northern VT. And just past peak. Took a couple shots and about a minute before I got a clear pic that wasn't blurry.

I have 2 GWDT that I used to use. I picked up the Ultra Plush drying towel 2 pack after hearing and seeing the awesomeness of them. They work wonderfully! I can use 1 with my full size crew can truck after doing a pooling rinse. I have since moved to using the GWDT to dry the glass when I leave the truck wet for Guard and Gloss application. Just so I can keep using them and so I don't "waste" a clean ultra plush just for the glass. If and when you can I would pick up the Ultra Plush, you won't be disappointed.

Welcome!, I am also from central CT. As Medic stated. Don't hesitate to reach out to us. If your not aware, corvette store and more is located on the Cheshire, Meriden line and is a dealer for Adams products. Has majority of chemicals, some pads, microfiber, and tools. He is a great guy to deal with.
