I know I'm not the first to do this, but it was a first for me... so I thought I'd share. The far left heater control knob in my 1965 Mustang felt completely unattached to the cable that opens and closes the hinged heater box door. It's a simple, effective design requiring no electricity and I was pretty sure it would be an easy one-hour project. The thing is, getting to the heater control arm and cable is nearly impossible without removing the rally pac from the steering column and the instrument cluster from the dash.  So, to verify my suspicions I inserted a endoscope that sends a wireless live feed to my cell phone. It didn't take long to discover that the 53 year-old cable had snapped. In fact the bent end piece was still threaded through the attachment hole on the control arm. Luckily I had planned on replacing the cables at some point and had a brand new set still in the package ready to go. 
 
I spent the next hour removing the rally pac, and disconnecting the speedo cable and light bulb sockets from the back of the instrument cluster, just so I could get to the damaged cable and control arm. 
 
My garage has no power so I stuck an Adams Polishes magnetic LED light to the upper side of the interior dash to illuminate the tight, dark space. It was perfect for the task. 
 
After another hour of squeezing my hands through crazy small spaces... the new cable was firmly in place and working, so I carefully put everything back together, and was actually pretty pleased that I didn't goof anything up in the process. Then I started putting away the tools, protective rags and miscellaneous pieces and parts. Like others here I'm a bit OCD when it comes to how I store everything in the house and garage. As I was putting everything back in to their designated spaces my eyes went to the now empty spot the Adams flashlight typically lives. It wasn't there, and for the life of me I couldn't remember setting it down anywhere. That's when it hit me that I may have forgotten to pull it down before closing everything back up. 
 
So, once again I enlisted the endoscope and phone app... poked it under the dash... and low and behold... there was the Adam's logo looking all bright and crisp! 
 
There was no way I was going to disassemble the instrument cluster again so I just sat there... completely frustrated. Then I remembered the time I replaced the defroster ducts, and that there was probably enough space to fit a finger or two if I pulled up the duct end pieces. If that was possible, I was fairly certain the flashlight would be within reach. So off came the defrost/speaker grill and 30 minutes later the flashlight was no longer buried in the dash, it was back on the wall where it belongs. 
 
FYI... my husband laughed out loud for a full five minutes... so to make myself feel better... I logged on to the Adam's website and ordered a Mystery Bucket.

That’s the latest look/font. 

Something good did happen to Dan - he got a full time job with Adam's!  Several years ago Dan was just a regular user like most of us.  

Great idea! Or even just pick 3 for “X” price or something like that.

I was thinking of purchasing a bunch of different hex applicators, since it appears that a few of mine have wandered off....  
Would it be possible for you guys to put together a hex applicator kit that includes maybe the yellow, red, and black applicators at a discounted price?
Thanks!

Okay, so it's not the whole car, and not as crisp as some of the other pics... and certainly not exactly a "back road" shot... but... Laguna Seca Raceway is back in the hills of Monterey, California... and the Adam's shine coming off the hood of my car was blinding bright... so here she is!

Here's a couple pics of my Shelby GT500. I loved both pics so you decide !!

Don't buy mystery boxes or buckets if you're going to complain about what you get.    

Does anyone know if they are gonna come out with Woman attire? it would be nice for us girls instead of wearing a mans sweatshirt!

Excellent! Thanks for following up! See you there!

Geebee's body shop is now in business! LOL my wifes car had some pretty bad scratches that we didn't notice when we got the car. To satisfy my Auto Detailing case of OCD, I wen to work. OK, so a small pat on the back from me to me....LOL All the scratches came out thank goodness.

I am a nerd... but it fits perfectly in the back seat arm rest area in my F-150...!!!

Dan it must be hard to focus on the track while admiring all of the refection in your hood!!!

I just wanted to send along a big "THANK YOU" to Dan@Adams, Bianca@Adams, the Adam's marketing team, the Adam's shipping crew, and the rest of the Adam's team, in general! 
 
Here's the story (even if it's a coincidence): I sent an email request just last Friday to list the Foam Gun as the Daily Special. I hadn't seen it posted there in a while, kept striking out on the recent MB sales (despite seemingly buying one every time since July...but, hey, at least I have a healthy supply of CS, W&W, HGG and others!), and my desire was getting the better of me, especially with all the gifts already under the tree. Well, lo and behold, two days later, there it was as the Daily, as if to say, "Buy me!" How could I resist?! I had some minor issues placing the order on the site, but a quick call in the morning later, and it's already sitting comfortably in my garage (yes, it pays to live ~90 min south of the Mother Ship), just waiting to spread holiday cheer (read: SUDS!) all over my cars...as soon as the weather cooperates!!! 
 
Moral of the story - Adam's listens. 
 
Anyway, you all are the best, and really, your customer service, and of course, product quality, are second to none. You have earned my repeat business (until I go broke, anyway ). Keep up the GREAT work!
 
         

While shopping for a used truck, my wife saw a Black 2012 Ram 2500 diesel crew cab. She loved it, I love everything except the color. Not because I don't like black vehicles, I think they look great when clean, but this truck had obviously taken through automatic car washes often. It was swirled up really bad, and for someone who is a little OCD about their vehicles it wouldn't be good to own it. We ended up buying it and I tried lots of auto store products to try and clean up the finish. Clay bars, waxes, etc always to my complete dissatisfaction. I began shopping for a brand new truck in a different color (silver, white,) but was looking to take at least a 10k hit on the deal.
A friend of mine has a black vehicle and it always looks flawless. He recommended Adams Polishes to me. One phone call to an extremely knowledgeable and helpful gentleman, and a box of products were on the way. A few days later a box arrived containing a polisher, pads, correcting polish, finishing polish, sealer, detailer, cloths, etc and I went to work. I watched Adams how-to videos, and went to work. Wash, clay bar, polish, and seal and after 6 hours, the paint looked AMAZING! There were some pretty deep scratches in the paint in places and about 95% are completely gone, with only the deepest ones still visible but just barely. I was completely blown away on how well each product worked. This truck is big, I took my time and really actually enjoyed the process seeing this truck go from something I wasn't really happy with and ready to sell, to a vehicle that looks better than new.
Now I make excuses to walk out to the garage and run the back of my hand across the glossy, smooth finish. I can't express how happy I am with Adams Products! Since the comeback of the Rams finish, I've bought a complete kit for my son to turn him loose on his black WRX. (He's going to love his Christmas present).
 
THANK YOU ADAMS POLISHES! Your products and people are fantastic! You saved me $10,000!!!

Brilliant! I'm currently potty training my 2 year old daughter, I need all the help I can get.

Put some H20 GG on the toilet seat. "Water" beads up and rolls right in. Nothing left on the seat. And I never have to be yelled at again. HAHAHA. Try it out. It actually works. Ladies, you're welcome.

I wanted to share samples with family and friends too. So I bought small, empty bottles at WalMart, made up some Adam's labels to fit (even for items not in my inventory... Yet), and now I can give samples of any liquid Adams product any time. Here's a shot of the first kit I made for a co-worker.
