I'd play it safe and do paint correction.   I have no faith in Strip Wash. Its the only product by Adam's I dont like. 

I'd be happy with a black and red version of the last flex fit style hap made by Pacific headwear.

Am I crazy or was there talk recently about Adam's releasing a wash specifically for cars with their coating?

I think i read about it on here, some like W&W but loaded with SIO2

Yet to be announced but it has been talked about by an Adam's employee on here

I purchased one at 19.99 plus 15% off.  Next day it was 29.99

Edit. It was even in the first new product email

It is good but you have to take care of it.  Air dry it well after use. Comb the Mitt after it dries.

Personally I dont care for them.  I like the red Mitt Adam's sells and other brands offer 

From what I read, the iron remover will activate 75% faster and is thinner so it will go farther than the WC.

I'm waiting for it to show up.  

To me thinner and activating faster is a benefit.  I'll use less product and achieve the same results.  I find the WC is great for wheels but doenst really cover well on paint. It basically stays where you spray it.  

If you dont want to order the new product, you can use WC at full strength or 1:1 using distilled water.

Good to know, thanks. My truck does have black trim in a few places, so I still have a use for it. I’ll just stick with VRT on the “grey” pieces.  

PM me and I'll share a place that has a grey trim restore product.

So for an update to everyone, we have some samples of window film and ppf on their way from Suntek. We are going to play and see what we can learn with the samples before going all in and getting a plotter. If it goes well and we get the basics, we will move forward. 

 

Hopefully in the future we can offer detail, coatings, ppf and window film to our clients. 

PPF is definitely something I would have done had I had the funds at time of purchase. My area I was quoted $3000 for Xpel ultimate including" paint correction" by the local Porsche dealer for the '17 Explorer for full front, a, b, c & d pillars. Another window tint shop quoted me $800 for full front w/o paint correction using SunTek PPF. I didn't bother looking for pricing on my lease silverado. Ultimately, if it was my vehicle and not the wife's, I would have corrected the paint myself and had the front end done. She was adamant that it wasnt needed. It would have saved the front end on the Explorer.

My suggestion is to pay close attention to the clarity of whatever film you coose. It's possible Xpel got better but every car I've seen with xpel has had an orange peel appearance, and that's the biggest gripe I've seen online about Xpel.  I have heard great things about SunTek and 3M. 

Anyone notice an increase in product descriptions being wrong.  For example the new Adam's hat, it says it has the favorite circle logo, but it's clearly not. 

I've also seen a number of products go up at one price, only to increase in price the next day and then the lower price isn't honored because it was incorrect. The latter hasn't happened to me but still sucks and I'm sure if frustrating for both sides.

Just surprised this is happening all of a sudden, i never noticed any of this in the past. 

So who went and took pics of the unannounced products that Matt implied would be on display??

For sale is a used black Adam's foam cannon. It works perfectly but has fallen to the ground a time or two so you will see some scrape marks in the plastic and bottle.

Asking $60 plus shipping. Only thing I'll accept for trade is the adams fireman's nozzle.

* Also for sale locally

I use a half gallon (4 pint) pump-up garden sprayer. It is similar to the Colad sprayer, but less expensive.

 

I use this sprayer for Rinseless pre-spray. Works great and is a great price point.

I use this one in the yard and it would work great for Waterless/Rinseless. When pumped up good it has good pressure and the wand has the ability to do a stream or a mist.

I prefer the towel application method for Ceramic Boost. Helps to reduce over spray onto windows.

So, I tried the Ceramic Boost - on both the Viper and the Ram. I did side by side of it versus CarPro Reload. Bottom line, they are both great products, with the slight edge to....Ceramic Boost! Made both vehicle look great! Wil be ordering a gallon of this as well!

Ceramic boost isn't currently offered in gallons

This is a brand spanking new 2017 Camaro that was probably sitting for a while at the other dealership. It had to bring it from Quebec to Toronto. I don't believe anything will be done to resolve this situation by GM.

Won't know until you try.

It could be seen in this teaser photo from Instagram along with the new foaming interior cleaner and pump bottle

This was earlier this week

Wow I guess I didn't realize they're fazing out the normal APC!

I'd put money on the EPA being the reason for that.

If the Camaro is that new, complain to GM. I'd leave out that you clayed it. They love to blame the customer

For the money the Sidekick is had to beat, I just could never justify the price on the Blaster.

Until you use it for the first time and finish drying a vehicle in 5 minutes.

I love the red wash mitts. my favorite wash media by far.

Rapid Remover

My guess is that it's a foaming applicator. Looks similar to a foaming pump.

If I was to do it again, I'd skip the sidekick and only buy the master blaster revolution.
