I would recommend going to the dollar store or a hardware store and finding 8 oz bottle to use, then get the small 3" stickers and put on them. Then use a label maker to put on it, Not quite the same, but still good. But also understand about not getting what you ordered. I have a customer who did get that set when it first came out and he loves it. I refill his product for him from my open stock, since those bottles are harder to get.

I'm actually excited about this one. Some folks with the eye for it can tell the visual differences between a carnuba and a sealant. My guess is, this will be a counterpart to the G&G for the carnuba fans in the audience. Looking like it has more of the water consistency (as opposed to being so thick like G&G), I'd say it'll be easier to use, especially when used as a drying aide. Look how well DS displaces water when used as such! Heck, I may even give this a go on my ceramic coated car! Also my guess, I bet it's very similar to a DS but with a much higher carnuba content that will affect the visual cues and stick around much longer than DS (since DS has no rated "durability" anyways).
Was lucky enough to receive a bottle from a friend who attended SEMA. Used it today on one of the Camaros took to the Veterans Parade in Auburn, WA (one of if not the largest parade in the West, you can view video of it at KOMO4News). The roads were wet at our place (two hours away from the parade), we drove through rain, mist/fog, 39 degrees, and into the sun. Which means the car was filthy by the time we got to the parade line up. Took my 1.5k Sprayer that had filled with waterless wash and went over the entire vehicle. Then took the new Spray Wax over it. Went on super easy (very light mist), wiped off easy/clean,, gave a nice gloss, and I did not see any swirls. Love the scent of course as well, at first thought it was more cherry, after using today realized that it is like a raspberry sorbet smell. I like it and would definitely recommend. The vinyl cling on the door panel was one of many made by our club Admin Andrew Hill (& one of my Adams Polishes customers) who is the President of Northwest Technical Products Inc., they sell commercial printers, 3d printers, laser printers/engravers, and other STEM type equipment. He does not charge us for making the clings or our club stickers....that being will be gifting him a limited edition holiday gift set when they come out to thank him for all that he does. Lastly, thank you to all the veterans in the group. As a military spouse (20 years of active duty and 13 years retired), have seen the conditions/sacrifices you all have made to protect our rights & those of others....again thank you. Richard Voit is my high school sweetheart and husband of 33 years, very proud of his military service. We took FIFTY in the parade because it is his Camaro (technically), I drove as he had surgery a few weeks ago for a torn bicep tendon....but he ended up riding in another camaro for the parade...lol

I heart coffee cake and this combo I could only imagine it’s to die for!
Hubby actually told me am to never make that coffee cake again, followed by "Those were delicious!". Am able to ship this item (unlike cupcakes)! I also make a great pumpkin cranberry white chocolate scone that the hubby likes...hence why he jogs for at least a half hour everyday. Although right now he is recovering from surgery, he had a 5cm tear of his distal bicep tendon, he tried and succeeded at being superman, lifted our heavy duty zero turning radius lawn mower when it got stuck in the mud by the pond this last spring. Unfortunately his body did not hold up completely to that superman move....now no use of that elbow/arm for two weeks, then for 3 months no lifting greater than 8 ounces. So today wore my favorite shirt "Weekend forecast, baking with a chance of drinking". Made homemade baking powder biscuits with homemade sausage gravy, then boston cream pie cupcakes, chocolate/pumpkin/caramel chip cookies, and lastly homemade crispy onions to go on top of beer boiled/bbq brats. Sorry no pictures for all of what did today...now to go out to my shop/garage & throw together three custom orders for customers, always great when they say "I want everything that would need for interior/exterior and trust you, just let me know how much."

I know the master blaster is larger, but can tell you since I have it, not once have used the side kick I got (think it came with my Ultimate Kit that I purchased back in late 2013 or early 2014). The master blaster have had for over a year now, and regret not purchasing it in 2013. Also, I recently compared Adams prices on the master blaster vs another company....pay attention to the details on the sight, the other company is cheaper but it is because it only comes with a 10 ft hose, Adams comes with a 20ft hose, and yes the price difference is directly related to the hose length. Add in that Adams has a 15% off sale & can apply to the master blaster, then technically Adams Polishes has the better price. Lastly, the master blaster works far better at blowing water off your roof/hood/trunk/side panels than the sidekick does....side kick does great for crevices.

I have the sidekick, black, think purchased in 2013. Used it quite a bit, but since have the master blaster never use it anymore. Think I am going to give it away to a local friend that just bought $600 worth of product from me

Welcome Tyler! While you do not have a shop in BC that carries Adams Polishes, there is Glen Yates in BC, believe he is in Chilliwack area (know that is still a few hours from you). To find his contact information, you need to look for dealers under the Adamspolishes.ca site. Also, I am in the Northern part of Washington state and have a number of friends in BC. They often will come down to visit and I will hook them up at that time, as am not authorized to resell in Canada. There is also a Chevrolet Dealership in Bellngham, WA that stocks a small selection of Adams Polishes. But again, know that is a bit of a distance for you. As for me, am 6 hours from you. Love your area by the way, we were just up in Kamloops for the WestCoast Camaro Rally. Unfortunately the smoke kept it pretty hazy, but we still had a fun time at SunPeaks and with the winery cruise.

For all the members around Austin, I want to point out that I think you are being mean. I have had many trips to Austin and could pretty count on being there for at least one week per quarter, but it has been close to a year since my last trip. Between the Tex-Mex and BBQ I never had to worry about going hungry and the best French Toast I ever had was in Austin and the hotel used Bread Pudding to make it with.
Now for my actual contribution to the thread.
My favorite cook books are: Texas Home Cooking: https://www.amazon.com/Texas-Home-Cooking-Comforting-Down-Home/dp/1558320598/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
Next is: The Border Cookbook: https://www.amazon.com/Border-Cookbook-Authentic-American-Southwest/dp/1558321039/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1536497633&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Border+Cookbook
The first picture was taken for my Chef daughter, it is the French Toast from the Driskill in Austin.
The second picture of the Alaskan Sockeye Salmon that my daughter made with a Honey-Lemon glaze. While we don't get fresh Alaskan fish very often, it sure worth it when we do. After living in Kodiak, Alaska for multiple years, there is nothing that compares - you just need to time it right and be willing to pay for the transport.
She did a great job on that Salmon! I am a bit of a Salmon snob having been raised in the Pacific Northwest where we can just go out and catch it ourselves and cook it the same day (I do not eat farmed Salmon, especially farmed Atlantic). As well, had an Uncle who was Norwegian and lived in Ballard. He had his own fishing boat and I would get to spend summers with them up on the Islands...he would come in from fishing and we would get to have Salmon, Halibut, Cod, crabs, whatever they caught. We hung fish heads off the pontoon poles at the pier, and then would go out at dusk with flashlights to see how many crayfish we could catch. Unfortunately both my Aunt & Uncle, their son (same age as me), and another cousin that I hung out with up on the Islands, all passed away. Still great memories of times with them and as well great life lessons learned.

They have several FORD & MOPAR trucks that attend. I am a Chevy gal and attend....lol

Excellent! I meet with Stangpede/Mopar social sometimes on Fridays. They meet by the MOD pizza in Marysville. Great group. You should check them out. Also...if you need anything locally for Adams & can't wait for shipping let me know.

Welcome! Where in Washington? I am on Whidbey Island.

I know of one in Canada, his name is Glen. He is in the BC region though. Not to far from where I am in the states. You should use the locator and contact him to see what his shipping charges are like.

I am an affiliate reseller as well. I go to car shows, car meets, cars & coffees, and have many Facebook car groups that am on to sell the products. I do have stock on hand for immediate purchases & invite groups cruising through my area to make a stop & sample the products (which ends up with sales). Looking at expanding this year and will have availability of products in my husbands insurance office that is located next to a car wash location. Have been intending to get a website up too, but as you all have said the shipping costs to send products to someone not local makes it not such a good deal compared to most shipping prices from Adams HQ itself. Additionally I sell Novistretch and do have a Facebook shop up (just need to add the Adams items). Also, when am traveling & heading to an area, I will post am going that way, so if anyone needs any product can throw it in the car and take with for personal delivery. I do have a job during the weekdays, so most of what I do is in the evenings and weekends. Furthermore will post on my Facebook page when there are mystery buckets and will order for people requesting. They pay the price Adams is offering...figure it is a great way of getting people into the addiction, so far is actually working really well. Additionally, I purchase Mystery buckets just to add to my own stock, as in most cases you are getting a 30-40% discount off the retail prices. Here is a snapshot of one moment of my stock. The black mystery buckets were for local customers. I actually have more now than what is shown & have a plastic rolling cabinet with drawers that holds smaller items like stickers/air fresheners/applicators/brushes/etc. While I am not making enough to quit my weekday job, I am not losing money, plus now I get to deduct the mileage to the car events as a business expense.

Anybody have one of these they'd like to get rid of?
Maybe Adams would be willing to have available again?

Update on the trim from my previous post. Used Trim Restorer on it yesterday. Though I only used drops, I still used too much. I applied it yesterday and had to wipe off some residue today. I’m pretty impressed with the coverage over those stains. Can’t wait to use the Trim Restorer on the cowl, and my grille.
Did you try some of the ceramic prep to clean up those areas first? I used it on the Chevy Camaro metal plates on the front under the hood & it does a great job of getting rid of water spots & grease.

This morning, before it got hotter than Hades, I finally took a hose and a brush to the engine bay of my Astra. Despite all the proven fact that it’s safe, I was still a big ?????. Results are nice! It’s not going to win any awards, but looks better. Found some spots I’ll need to try to get next time with a tooth brush.
Used the sidekick to blow out debris. Covered any electrical connections I was unsure about with plastic grocery bags. I rinsed it down, sprayed the Eco all purpose cleaner, let dwell a bit. Then used my wheel brush and lug nut brush to agitate the cleaner. I then did the under side if the hood. Sprayed with Eco APC, agitated with brush and rinsed everything. Removed plastic bags, Used sidekick to blow out the water. Used a cheap MF to wipe down some areas I couldnt get to with brush, and finished drying. Dressed with VRT and In n Out spray.
Not sure what stained the plastic at the front. It was there before I started cleaning. But now it’s really noticeable. I’ll see what the trim restorer can do later this week.
Great pictures and results!
