Mariner

I am glad this topic was brought up again, saves me from searching for it. Wife just bought a new Golf wagon and the dealership doesnt even give it a detail. Just pulled the vinyl off and washed it. So I just ordered (about an hour ago) LPS and a few other items to add to my old stock of products. Will be going over it well this weekend if the weather permits. Thanks for all the tips everyone. 

So I spilled some TID on the driveway the other day. I washed it down with some water.
 
It rained today and this is what it did below! You can see exactly the outline of the spill. Interesting.... seems like its repelling the water off the concrete?
 

You have an entire bookshelf dedicated to your Adam's supplies.

True...but I do that now anyway! 

Yeah I live in Florida and we always wash early morning or late afternoon, and park in the shadows of the garage/house. I feel your pain lol.

I love the Interior Detailer. When I had my Raptor, everything was leather so I used the Leather and Interior Detailer. But now that I have a 4Runner with cloth seats, I use the Interior Detailer on the dash and center console and it's always worked perfect for me. I tend to use it quite heavily and have to wipe down my car at least 2-3 times a week (dogs). But I always use a fresh blue waffle towel. 

You have a separate account only for Adam's detailing products and MB's, and it is the first one that get's money deposited into it on payday, and it is nicknamed "for the love of my life" on your online banking so the wife thinks it's for her.

Nice.....you can apply too much H2O G&G, however once a month you are good to go.

We could open a craft shop and sell our beads!

I happen to be one of those people that probably use HGG "too often" if there's such a thing, but it's been about a month and a half since my last application. I've washed the car and dried with Detail Spray approximately 5 or 6 times since then. With that being said, here's some pics after a light Florida rain shower this afternoon. HGG is some pretty amazing stuff!! Sorry for the sideways posts :/

Partially reviving this thread because I didn't want to start a new one, but I had a similar experience with this new Tire and Rubber Cleaner. I only ordered a 16oz at first to try it, and honestly I was really disappointed after my first use. I have the Adam's blue tire brush and I scrubbed quite hard during the first application. The soap was really brown and I thought I was doing great. Finished up the tires and wheels, then did the paint wash and dried. Went out later and noticed my tires were still brown. Not quite as brown, but brown. Almost had a scratchy look to them and looked terrible. So instead of applying the tire shine then, I wanted to try another Tire and Rubber clean. So today I did another wash, approximately a week later after my last application. Again, I went through the same process of applying and scrubbing with the blue brush, and after the SECOND application with now half the bottle gone, the soap was still really brown. But once I finished and dried off the rubber, they were much more black this time. So then naturally, I applied the Tire Shine and off I went.
 
After giving this whole thing a little more thought, I realized that these tires are new as I purchased my SUV not too long ago and that because of that chemical on the tire, it must have just needed a little attention. Overall, now that I've seen the desired result, the Tire and Rubber Cleaner is an excellent product, and I'll need to buy the gallon next since it's so easy to use a bunch of it all at once.

It's about time you joined, Nick. Welcome! The Adam's frenzy is real 

I'm very sorry you're disappointed with the forum lately Brian. I've been trying to keep my personal life private, but it's apparent that my absence here has been noticed, so I will give an explanation.   My father had a massive acute stroke to the right side of his brain. I have essentially been unreachable to anyone other than immediate family, Adam's Team Members, and email for the past 3+ weeks due to this unexpected and very difficult event.
 
As Adam's begins to grow, especially during these peak summer months, I've been answering phones, emails, and live chat tickets from 730AM to around 7PM EST Monday to Friday nearly nonstop, with an occasional break for lunch or to stretch. The time I have not been doing this, I have been spending the evenings in the hospital, then at my parent's home once my dad was cleared to come home, driving him to doctor's appointments, taking him grocery shopping, and so on. Now that he is starting to improve, I will be back to dedicating more time to the forum.
 
I'm sorry that you feel that I'm making excuses Chris. Hiring summer-time/temporary help for customer service is not always an easy proposition, as we would need to take more time to train the person on how to use systems, and they must have expert knowledge of our products to answer questions correctly. We recently hired more people onto the shipping team to handle an increased amount of orders, which increases our overhead expenses.  We will be looking into having more help on the forums as well.
 
While part of my job responsibilities are to oversee the forum with the other volunteer moderators and admins, there simply have not been enough hours in the day to devote the time needed here lately, and I do apologize. We strive to answer all emails as fast as possible. Some days the emails come in faster than we are sending replies out - calls and emails take top priority, because those are the best two ways to reach us about problems, order issues, and so on. We will work on prioritizing the answering of forum questions into the customer communication workload in order to provide the personal feel that the forums provide to our customers. 
 
With new products, I cannot post answers about a product until I physically have it in my hands. I will not sugarcoat, guess, or make up an answer to a question - I will only answer questions if I have physically tested the product and can give a 100% truthful answer. I will work with Adam and the shipping team to make sure that new products get sent out to me and the other testers in a more efficient manner, so that we can answer questions immediately upon a new product release, and so that we do not have these problems in the future.
 
For the foam cannon, I received mine this afternoon at 2PM, so I immediately went out and verified that it works well with a 1.3 GPM, 1700 psi electric pressure washer. The specs were then updated accordingly on our site. The original specs were recommended from the manufacturer for best results. I was 98% sure the Foam Cannon would work fine with lower GPM pressure washers, as I have tested other brands no problem, but I was not going to post that until I was 100% sure and physically tested the unit. Again, better planning and earlier testing on my part would have provided an answer more quickly, but my mind was occupied on other things. For new product ideas, input, and issues, again I will make sure I find time to address these as well. All of these things do not sit on my mind lightly, as I do want to provide the best customer experience possible.
 
For the Mystery Box for Canadians, that is completely up to adamspolishes.ca as to whether they want to take part in those promotions, and it is best to contact them directly. Our Canadian team is even smaller than our U.S. team, and mystery boxes are a lot of logistics to plan, package, and make sure each one is fair before it ships out. I will reiterate to the appropriate people again about this issue and the thread that I forwarded to them. I never posted a response because I did not have a good response to post.
 
I am sorry that the forum is different than when you joined Brian, and I will strive to make it great once more.
 
Respectfully,
Daniel Tyger

No streaks! thats all you have to say about this stuff and I hate streaks on my windows. I have used both glass towels and blue waffles with the product and love them both. 

Great choice in SUVs. Those things are the real deal as far as capability goes. 

Congrats on th new ride, I know how ya feel, my white truck doesnt always pop like some of the darker colors, but I still give it all the love. 

Nice truck! I there aren't many mid size SUV's that are really trucks any more I appreciate the 4 runners for that.

Nice and congratulations

Looks good, congrats on the new ride

Nice T4R!
