    I use a platform to reach the roof of my RAM crew cab roof. 
    Actually thinking about getting a second one. That way I don’t need to move it while I am washing and drying or polishing/sealing the roof.

    Here it is assembled with the bottom & all the cupcakes on the stand. Made red velvet, red velvet with cheesecake, carrot cake with cherries,  carrot cake with cheesecake, chocolate blood orange with blood orange curd, lemon strawberry with lemon strawberry curd, and white cake. Frosting was either cream cheese or swiss meringue depending on the cupcake flavor. Lot of work but my Camaro friends loved it and since it was their day that is what is most important. Last picture is of all the "Camaro Girls"...all camaro owners in their own rights...and the groom of course!

    Was very busy this week making cupcakes & a giant cupcake for a friends wedding. Five different kinds of cupcakes (over 100). Here is just the top of the giant cupcake...let's hope it holds up for the almost three hour drive!

    Liralen reacted to shane@detailedreflections in How many pads and towels do I need?   
    Just thought I'd share a little visual representation for the amount of pads and towels we go through during a detail since it seems to be a frequently asked question.  The real answer is that you can never have too many.  Sometimes we use a few, sometimes we go through a lot.  Today was a lot...
     
    We filled about 1/3 of a 5 gallon bucket with dirty pads.  
     
    And the dirty rag bin is a probably 2'x2' or even slightly bigger.  And we filled it close to the top.  You could say we go through some pads and towels.  The benefit for us in having them is that if something seems questionable, we just swap it out and grab a fresh one.  
     
    So when you're thinking of buying a towel or pad...maybe grab two.  Build your collection over time.  Your vehicles will thank you when you do need them.

    It is his tow hook, required for track days.  Our group puts a shot glass in it, and then when people ask at car shows what it is, they tell them it is their tip jar to help fund more mods. Of course they remove the shot glass when at the track, but for normal driving they can leave it in, as they fit pretty tight.  And by the way, even believe he did get "donations" that day as well...LOL
    Thanks for answering and sorry about my delayed response, you got it right.  On some of the models though there is not a cover to remove (such as on my 6th gen Camaro).  There is also an option out there to use the tow hook slot for a no-drill license plate bracket.  Our actual tow hook is kept in the trunk under the floor mat in a fitted foam casing.

    I jujst talked with Customer service about this the other day.  They are passing the information on to Marketing/Sales.  They will run the numbers and current sales to see if there appears to be a demand for.  That being, please be prepared for the price to be about the same as or just a little under what Guard & Gloss would be.
     
    So, I have a customer who has several rescue Cavaliers and Cocker Spaniel.  One dog had explosive diarrhea and one has a bladder control issue.  Nothing was helping to get the smell out from those incidents, well except for ON.  They really love the product and are hoping for them to come out with a gallon as well. I have them covered, but would be nice for ease of ordering and saving on waste by having the ability to order a gallon online.  So hopefully my discussion with customer service made an impression (told them there is always comments on the forum about needing it, and that is only a small number of the Adams user population).
     
    So, my suggestion to you is to call customer service or email customer service and tell them about wanting to get it in the gallon size, as remember while they do watch the forums, they may not get all things noted and passed on.

    Most likely a Tow Hook.  There is a spot on those cars to take a plastic cover off and screw in a tow hook recovery point..

    Thank you!  Yes the Novistretch are super easy to install and as well to use.  I have installed the snap screws on cars at shows before they head home, takes me about five minutes max (I have a mini tool kit I take with for that purpose).  Amazes people when they see me doing it...but then again they see me detailing the cars at shows while the hubby goes and visits...LOL

    Yes, our garage is full now, as the three trucks each take up more than one spot.  We have the vette loaned out to an Australian here training with the Military and are considering selling the 2013 Avalanche (only has 51,750 miles on it and has customer halo headlights, custom painted bowties, 2" lift kit, and is the Black Diamond LTZ loaded edition).  We may also sell the vette after we get it back..  After that, we will have some room to store a vehicle   As for the calipers, yes they are color matched.  The seatbelts and knee pads are orange as well!

    Picked up the new 2018 Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Camaro today!  They had it on the lift Thursday after arrival to put on the ground affects, so took a picture of the underneath.  I told the dealership to not wash it, that I would bring in my Adams Polishes, so would just need to use their wash bay, they had not problem letting me wash and dry it there (they know I am obsessive).  After drying installed the Novistretch (am a reseller for them as well).  That Crush orange color is definitely a head turner!

    Another option is to get all set up in one spot, and then have your bride drive the car around you.

    I have a portable steam cleaner that I can use to get in and treat specific areas without spraying down an entire engine.  It is just a store bought one that attaches to my steam mop for the house.

    A coating will NOT prevent stone chips. They are less maintenance, but still require maintenance. The routine will depend on the coating you choose. 
     
    To prevent stone chips, you’d went ppf or paint protection film. 
     
    As for advice on a coating, are you having one installed?  Or installing one?
