    sahls01gmc got a reaction from TheWolf in REVIEW: New Strip Wash   
    Thank you Dan!
     
    I'll be 100% honest, I saw this product and thought I'd never find a worthwhile use for this since I Have APC and CS. But after watching Adam's video EFFORTLESSLY remove bug guts and your real world review, I'm blown away! Definitely will have to pick some of this up before my fall details!

    Adam, you are spot on with the Dealer Certification Program.  I use that system with my company, and customers can quickly and conveniently look across the nation who the closest dealer is to them. 
     
    The certification program does things for both sides of the fence:
    - It allows the customer to find the dealer they are looking for
    - It allows the dealer to be more visible to the customer
     
    We get leads all the time at our office, and we can quickly turn them over to one of our dealers in the area that sells our products.  The dealer has to go through a process to get certified, but it shows their interest level by going through it.  We also offer our dealers special pricing that the public would not see, so that is another benefit to them.  
     
    I highly recommend this idea!

    Nice truck! I'd go with the Bilstein lift. You won't notice it not being a full 2", and it will ride much better. And when you put anything in the back, you won't get that "Cali lean".

    Once clean and protected, mine stay clean with just car shampoo. Only a few times a year does the wheel cleaner come out.

    - You constantly watch the radar to check for rain when your daughter has an upcoming softball tournament.  Then when the schedule gets posted, you determine what time you need to get off work on Friday so you can completely detail the truck so it can get ruined within 5 feet of the gravel parking lot when you arrive.  And all this time my wife thought I was checking the radar for the games coming up......
     
     
    - You have been caught more than once in the middle of the night polishing/detailing something.  Although when she doesn't catch me she wakes up to something in the house being really clean!
     
     
    - You look at the Daily Special and think, "Eh, I've already got 2 of those right now.......but that would put my shopping cart into the Free Shipping category....."

    I shined up my shop-vac!  Why you ask?  Simple, I have 3 daughters and needed some alone time in the garage.

    After:

     
    I'd like to thank All purpose cleaner for giving me a clean surface to work with.  Also, couldn't have brought out the depth and finish without a generous coat of Super VRT.     I did resist using the In and Out Spray on the flexible hose.....maybe next time!

    I use both Detail Spray and Rinseless in the house. Works great, and it's a justified reason to buy more Adam's!

    Wow, almost $50 a piece?!?  I have no idea the value on those, but it actually seems like a pretty good deal considering they are originals.  Can't wait to see the Biscayne redo!

    sahls01gmc got a reaction from buffalobob920 in And they wonder why men die first!!   
    My wife thinks/knows I'm crazy, but it has bailed her out plenty of times.
     
    - She has a pair of white canvas shoes (similar to Chuck's or boat shoes), and they had some stains on them.  She threw them in the wash with a bunch of bleach and they still didn't come out clean.  I came back with some APC and a stiff brush......voila!  Brand new!
     
    - Daughter got a new softball glove and it was just a lil too stiff for her liking.  3oz. of Leather Conditioner later and that glove fits like she's had it for years!
     
    - Our fridge has chalkboard paint on it because "someone" thought it would be cute for the kids to play with it.  Horrible idea.  Have you ever seen a clean chalkboard in your life?!?  But, Rinsless Wash and a MF makes that the best looking appliance in the kitchen.....and it's only 3 years old!
     
    Point is, I understand your pain.  The only thing that saves me is that I let her use anything she wants to clean whatever she wants.  And when I tell her how the products in  my shopping cart can be used around the house, I usually can get the quick green light!  Mystery boxes are still justified when I relate my savings to her savings when she buys the kids new clothes.  I always hear "But I saved 50% on everything that I bought!"  I used to tell her she shouldn't have bought half the stuff she came home with, but since I learned to keep my mouth shut I know have quite the impressive detailing setup!  Which of course I NEED!!!!!

    Since you're working in sections, a quick Detail Spray wipe down or Rinsleless/Waterless wash would be quick and easy.  I'm doing the same thing with my wife's car right now.
