Hose, hose reels and nosels
flyboy9994 replied to ragin_cajuns's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
OK great. Do you remember what kind of lag screw sleeves? Are they plastic or metal? Were you able to use a regular drill with a masonary drill bit? Just don't want to mess up the brick on my new house! Thanks again. -

flyboy9994 replied to ragin_cajuns's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Hey Chris How is it holding up mounted to the brick? I need to attach mine to a brick wall also. Could you explain how you mounted yours? Thanks. -
Now that's some good stuff right there! Awesome. Very much appreciated.

Detail Spray versus H2O G&G
flyboy9994 replied to paulsags's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I still use detail spray even when I use H2O. Used as the final step after H2O, it takes care of any streaks etc. I might have left behind with the H2O. Plus I just love to use the stuff anyway! -
Hey all, OP here. Promise this isn't a rant or a complaint. More of an inquiry. If a few bristles fall out when the brush is new then no big deal. I'll continue to use it and if it get's to the point where it's obvious the brush is defective then I have no problem with contacting Adams customer service. Just got a little concerned when a decent size clump came out the last time I used it. Basically just asking if this is normal and if so then no big deal. I'm certainly not bashing and I use nothing but Adams and am constantly amazed at how great these products are. Lifelong customer here for sure!

Yeah... Mine are usually gone before I pull the last bottle out of the box. Yum!

Anyone else having issues with the trim and lug nut brush? I only use them with Adams products i.e. shampoo and APC etc. Only used a few times and only on the lug nuts so far and I'm not scrubbing hard at all. Anyway, a lot of the bristles are falling out with every use. I even had a large clump come out of one the last time I used it. It's still working but at this rate won't last much longer.

I swear that stuff is magic! Sorry for the hijack OP. Please let us know how it works on big screen TV too please? Thanks. -

H2O GUARD AND GLOSS
flyboy9994 replied to Tkitch92's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
You'll notice it start to wear off when it stops beading when you wash/rinse. I would say every 2 to 3 weeks would be OK. I used it two washes in a row to build a good base and now it's about once a month before I reapply. Again, just depends on your driving conditions and environment/weather as to how long it will last. -
H2O GUARD AND GLOSS
flyboy9994 replied to Tkitch92's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Also, I found these towels are perfect for applying H2O as it has a tendency to stain lighter colored towels. I usually use 1 wet to apply the H2O as you dry your car and the other to final dry/polish. http://adamspolishes.com/shop/accessories/microfiber-towels/adam-s-borderless-gray-towel-2-pack.html -
H2O GUARD AND GLOSS
flyboy9994 replied to Tkitch92's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
You really need to try this product. It's absolutely amazing! It's so glossy when I'm done I've pretty much given up on waxing altogether. Some do wax on top of H2O just to add a little extra pop but I find it pretty much good to go especially for a daily driver. I believe the standard answer is that it should last a few weeks to a month. Depends on your conditions, environment etc. I'm really addicted to this stuff and it's so damn easy to use. Just my opinion. Enjoy! -
Liquid paint sealant / lsp question
flyboy9994 replied to Ace22's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Interesting. Please post your findings. I'm thinking G&G won't play well if mixed in water before applying. Who knows, I've seen stranger things happen. Might work great! -
After clay, before polish.
flyboy9994 replied to flyboy9994's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Yeah. This was my thoughts exactly so I'll just give it another wash afterwards to float all the gunk away. Even though this is a new car, the paint is definitely rough with imbedded particles and I'm certain the clay bar will leave some behind. Also, I'm not going to machine polish this time. Paint is in pretty good shape otherwise so I'm going to try and hand polish with Revive. Still going to wash afterwards for extra insurance. Thanks everyone. Write up with pics to follow. -
After clay, before polish.
flyboy9994 posted a question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Well, I'm finally getting ready for a full correction this coming weekend. My only question left is what to do after claying. Do I wipe up the detail spray and clay residue as I go or should I clay the whole car and then re-wash and dry before using polish? I'm going to use Revive Hand Polish with the blue hand applicator, Brilliant Glaze then Liquid Paint Sealant. Maybe a coat of wax. Thanks. -
What is the proper procedure?
flyboy9994 replied to mxkx250's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
For sure. Finally going to get a full correction done this coming weekend. I'll post a write up with the techniques described above. Thanks again. -

flyboy9994 replied to mxkx250's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Over the polish residue? Sweet. That's going to save a ton of work for sure. So after clay, I'm going to use Revive hand polish. So leave the residue and apply Brilliant Glaze over that then wipe everything off. Liquid Paint Sealant to follow all that. Sorry for the hijack... Really good info here. -

flyboy9994 replied to mxkx250's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Brilliant Glaze UNDER Liquid Paint Sealant? Awesome idea. Going to try that for sure! -
The microfiber pad is the most aggressive cutting pad and he stepped down to the plain orange cutting pad which would be one step less aggressive. This should in concept remove or greatly reduce the heavy swirl introduced by the microfiber pad.

flyboy9994 replied to mxkx250's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Is this a daily driver? If so you may want to consider the liquid paint sealer after your last polish.
