Unless you're trying to get a hot date from a babe trust me they will be wowed with just the claying and sealant and a thorough wash and vac on the interior - if you have the time, apply whatever extra you want on top lol

​​Do the baggy test first to see if it needs clayed. As far as Americana or PS, if the car lives outside I would definitely go with the PS. And as far as the BG, I would apply it no matter what protection that you go with.

Clay bar it and throw a coat of sealant. Vac and wipe down the inside. Done.

I like Dan also use dedicated MF cleaner and have not had any issues with there being stains on clothes, even clothes that were washed right after the MF towel load was done.  And this has been true with washing basically everything off the towels (Detail Spray, G&G, paste wax, buttery wax, LPS, etc etc.)  Give the vinegar a shot and maybe switch over to a dedicated cleaner and hopefully that alleviates the situation.

I have not had any issues with waterless, Rinsless, and many other chemicals that i wash. Are you using the microfiber cleaner or regular laundry detergent, not sure if that would matter but I use a dedicated microfiber detergent. Try running a empty load with some vinegar through the washer, it will help with cleaning it anyways and you can score wife points there lol

What you got against white lol

Hi Chris, the Daily Special typically doesn't change during sale promotions, so it hasn't updated recently since we had the FOAM sale running. We updated it to the Mystery Box today, and then I'll make sure that the marketing team gets it updated tomorrow or Friday. Thanks!

Why can't he ask here? He has a Cyclo, a product not made by Adam's but they do sell them, and is curious if anyone has had experience with both a Cyclo and a G15 to compare them??? Just cause the G15 is not sold through the Adam's website and is a competitor's product, it can't be discussed? 

Also note that white is not going to pop like a darker colored vehicle. My 02 Camaro SS is white and it won't have that pop. But if you keep it clean it will have that bright look to it instead of the dingy look.

On my quasi daily driver, I correct and clay once a year. I may touch up a few spots here and there throughout the year if they bug me.
 
On your garage queen I say once a year is more than enough, maybe even longer if the swirls stay away from it

Theoretically you should NEVER have to correct again.
 
However - in the real world - it's completely up to you. I used to do a full correction twice each year on my weekender but I found it to be unnecessary. I now  do it yearly and fix spots when needed.
 
Check your car out every time it's out in the sun.  If you see swirls or other problems correct them.
 
Do the "baggie test" after you wash every few months. If your paint is rough then clay.
 
Your car does not have to be on a schedule.

Chris keep in mind there is a difference in Adams staff and moderators. 
The moderators have responsibilities in maintaining the day to day order on the actual forum but in a lot of situations they cant speak for the company as they dont have access to that info and its not their position to do so. Reviews, store, etc.
 
Took me a while to figure this out as well.

Let me start off by saying one of the reasons I like Adams was the relationship and helpfulness I encountered on the forum and lately I've noticed quite a few changes. On new product roll outs it was usually stated what,how and why along with some hype and excitement, now it usually starts with someone linking a pic that was on Instagram along with quite a few replies but no "official" reply. Usually that comes with a sale and a product page but no description and that leaves to questions because there is hype but no official reply. Regarding the foam cannon, that thread went on for 2 days discussing the min gph and members were left on their own to discuss and then a forum member noted the ratings changed.
In the Product,Feedback sub forum there's been a lot of input on new products,product ideas ( an AIO,special edition TID) and issues with new products. Sometimes there's zero input from Adams, sometimes it comes a few days later. Either way IMHO it doesn't look good to newer members. Ironically on other forums that I belong to Adams is a sponsor and questions almost always get answered the same day. Also there are threads that appear weekly such as "Mystery Box for Canadians" that never get answered.
I know I'll probably get flamed but I wanted to get my point across that this forum is different than when I joined. The genuine helpfulness and over all positive membership is still present but the overall feel is different.

It can very from car to car. My paint corrections start at 350 and I usually add 10% for large truck/suvs. A lot of it depends on how bad the paint is...sometimes you can just do a polish and be ok. Other times it requires both stages of polishing and lots of elbow grease.

No offense Dan but, in the interest of customer satisfaction, you should probably just turn that feature off if you don't have the manpower to handle it. That way people won't even be able to leave messages if there's no one with time to reply to them.

Thanks Chris but unfortunately I have enough buttery wax

Forget adding soap to the pad.  Add 1 oz into about 2 gallons of water.  Blast a stream of water into the bucket.  You will have enough suds to last the entire wash.   

I recently bought 2 - 2 packs and 3 of the 4 are unraveling after the first wash. I just emailed Adams to make them aware.

nice car man!  Not too many left!    I use Adams on mine as well
 

There are some flashlight that are "specialized" in that field like the Rupes flashlight.
 
I have a $40 LED work light on stand found at your lowes or local hardware store. I found the halogen type doesn't work as good and creates crazy heat so LED is a must in my book.

Here is my 02 WS6 I've dubbed "The Mongoose".  About 3 years ago, I did a full paint correction on here using the Adams Paint Correction Polish and Paint Finishing Polish (used the matching orange and white pads).  I followed it up using Adams Brilliant Glaze and Adams Americana Wax.  I absolutely love the color pop you get using those two products in conjunction.  Pewter is a hard color to make pop, but Adams products make it happen.
 

 

 

 

 

 

It would be nice to have a 'Sticky' of the Uses for the different products and their proper order for Garage Queens, Weekend Drivers, Daily Drivers etc....

subscribed for when I detail my white car....looks like G&G is the way to go for us white car guys......but in what order are you guys doing these things?  theres just so much product out there that it can get confusing on what to apply and when.
