Liralen replied to shane@detailedreflections's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Bianca@adamspolishes.com is the current contact. They are/have hired a new wholesale/reseller account manager and will be sending out information soon. If interested would send Bianca an email. Yes, it is difficult as a reseller to make a good margin when Adams puts out a 20% off sale...but you will also get customers who want a product now and buy from you too. Many do not want to bother with ordering online. I just refer my customers and friends to the Adams sight when it would cause me to lose money to match their prices. Additionally, I have to charge sales tax on items, along with B&O. But at least going to car shows and car club meets are tax deductions under the business for promoting products, to include mileage coverage or if car is strictly for company business then practically everything with the car is deductible & then there is depreciation. -
From a definite Camaro fan...CONGRATULATIONS! I have a friend with the hyper blue metallic 2.0L Turbo, he actually takes it to our bracket racing drags, he does really well too! FYI, join Camaro6.com and then you will find lots of people from your area to hang out with. As well, there is an Annual Camaro Rally in Sturgis the last weekend in June (it starts the Thursday prior).

$69 is still a great price. If you are military you can get a 10% discount too...

Here is one that is similar but a little more on price, if you watch sometimes they have coupons for additional off...https://www.harborfreight.com/tool-storage/tool-carts/26-in-bulk-storage-tech-cart-64002.html You can always add the side bin as an additional piece in place of the platform.

DetailedbyTate cart looks similar to one that I have seen at Harbor Freight. As for the Costco item, that is a workbench, not a true cart. It has a 500lb capacity so that you can stand on it and work on tall vehicles. The overall height is only a little over 3 feet.... here is the spec: Specifications Assembly Assembled Color Orange Depth 0 in. Folding Yes Height 39.75 in. Length 31 in. Model Dura4IN1 Top Material Plastic Weight 31 lb. Width 19.75 in.

What a gorgeous guy! My heart goes out to you about having to ease his life. There are cats and then there are those who are so much more in our lives. Hugs!

Our furry family members: Chocolate Standard Poodle - Rika VanDenHaas, Black Standard Poodle - Reanne Murtaugh, Buff Cockapoo - Martin Riggs, Doberman - Lee Butters (we just call him Butters). Furry family members that have passed away over the years (not pictured) - Black Cockapoo who's name was Roger Murtaugh, he passed away last year, we also have had a Black Toy Poodle named Lorna Cole & a Silver Toy Poodle named Leo Getz. Am sure some of you will make the connection on the names

Late Welcome! Were you ever able to get the water spots out of the glass? I would think that you could use CLR on it...being careful to not get it on the paint. Start out with a dilution. Rather than spraying, put it on a cloth and then lay the cloth on the window. Do a test area and see how that turns out.

HI! Think some of my Western Canada Camaro Club friends mentioned you (or some other shop in Ontario-forgot the name). Am sure you have and will treat them great!

Welcome! Depending on whereabouts in BC you might see me cruising around the area! I live in Washington State, but travel usually once a month to Langley/Vancouver BC to visit with the Vancouver Camaro group. Will also be heading to Kamloops in August for a group gathering. Hope to see you around. BTW... there is an Adams reseller up in BC area somewhere, saw him at a car gathering once. If you come south into Washington state (Bellingham area), and need product let me know, as am a Northwest Washington reseller of Adams Polishes.

Yup, the last couple times I took one of our cars in for oil change or service they gave me a loaner Silverado to drive. When we were ready to trade the Cadillac in, we got a Silverado HIgh Country in place of, which I love. If had not drove one previously may not have gone for it. But then again we are treated pretty good at the dealership where we have our work done on our cars, as we have purchased five vehicles from that dealership (we still own all five vehicles) and are about to purchase our 6th, a 2018 V8 2SS M6 Camaro Convertible Hot Wheels Special Edition! Will look great next to our other two Camaros. However, we are thinking of selling our 2014 C7 Laguna Blue Z51 Stingray but will not decide that until December...that kind of depends on work situations, how retirement funds/investments are working out, and how much we will be driving it considering we drive the Camaros more.

Sorry you got furloughed, but at least you are back for a couple of weeks. I am a CTR so did not get furloughed, but it sure was quiet in the office with only 7 of us there vice the normal 40 or so. Most everyone else didn't have a lot to do as not a lot of military to work with today, whereas I was super busy because all those separating wanted to make sure they could still get in to sign their DD214's. Busy day but a good one overall.

Hey now, I am married to a retired Sailor...lol. Appreciate the Air Force (and all services), as that was what my Uncle Don retired from before he went and worked from Grumman where he was pne of the test pilots on the F-14! The one he flew in is in the Grumman Aerospace hall of fame, as it actually survived the testing.

A sailor who was getting out of the service today was so overwhelmed with my giving him a box of six that he about cried. He was so sweet & thankful. Am sure he and his friends enjoyed. Gives me a great feeling to make others so happy with baked goods & hopefully encourages them to make time to do things they enjoy too.

Todays cupcake porn...Buckeye cupcake, filled with peanut butter fudge, topped with a cream cheese bittersweet chocolate frosting & Unicorn sprinkles with silver kaleidoscope glitter. The buckeye cake is almost black as use a combo of Double Dutch processed cocoa & King Arthur Flour Black Cocoa. Unicorn sprinkle because it was a new set of sprinkles found today...so had to bake something to put them on. Plus the weather has been cruddy & cold so not able to clean the Camaros so can start polishing them up for spring driving. Oh well...still have couple months before then...
-
Oh I figured as much...lol. Plus I have thicker skin than that. We have a couple bakeries, but when your friends & coworkers tell you that your cupcakes are better it does make you feel good. Funny you mention eclairs, that is on my list to make this next month, as never have done & want to see if can. Found a good espresso pastry cream recipe to try with it to.
-
Definitely!
-
Also, I have a day job that I work at 40 hours each week. The detailing, selling of Adam's Polishes & Novistretch Performance Covers, and baking are all just things that I make extra time to do as it all is fun/cathartic to me.
-
We do not have a KFC nearby either (it is about 35÷45 minutes sway too...so I usually just make my own. Oh and you don't really want to ban me...as then you won't get to see the Irish Car Bomb cupcakes that I made for a friends retirement from the Navy...or the lemon cornmeal with mixed berry compote & mixed berry swiss meringue frosting I made for a 17 year olds bday....
-
I actually do want to turn one or two of the storage rooms into a cottage bakery, or just build one for a commercial bakery...as we have 10 acres overall....5 undeveloped. Then I could have my three favorite things to do in one place...cars, coffee, & cupcakes!

Over 6000 as ft. It has a 2 bedroom apt with a half bath downstairs & full bath with double sinks & separate shower & full bathtub. There is also a game room with a big TV (think 65 or so inches), foosball, air hockey, pool table, chess/checker table, and shuffle board. Then a separate video/movie room with another 65" LCD tv. The bottom floor of the garage can hold six cars if stacked right and there are three storage rooms...one which you all have seen that holds my Adams supplies.
-
Thanks, have a job, have a family & puppies to feed, and have a wonderful garage which would be expensive to find equivalent...lol
