Welcome

The VRT definitely helps a lot. Thanks again.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all of your input. Im going to order some Americana soon and let you guys know how it turned out. Can always count on this forum for answers and support.

thanks for the responses

Would LPS, H2O GG, glaze then wax be to much/overkill? Im thinking to many layers might affect the final result.

I have an Alpine White MB c300 thats 2 years old. I am wondering what the best wax/sealant is to make my paint really pop. I have clayed and polished the paint to almost perfect with no visible scratches or swirls so the paint looks amazing. Right now I have the liquid paint sealant on it and H2O GG. 

Will topping it with the buttery wax or Americana make much of a difference/pop or is this the shiniest I am going to get it?

Thanks for all the help. Think I'm going to buy the conditioner. And prob throw a few more things in my order because how can you order just one thing.

Could I clean my leather seats with the Leather & Interior Cleaner ( Diluted 3:1) and then apply TID? My seats are not really that dirty. I currently do not have the Leather Conditioner and was wondering if the TID acted as some kind of protection after the cleaning.

I know the Leather cleaner might dry out the leather so I'm a little nervous using it without applying the Leather Conditioner after.

I started a spreadsheet last weekend. It's more of a What is it? What's it used for? What goes with what? and Use Instructions (copied from the website) kind of thing. (screenshot attached)

 

Scott, I'd love your spreadsheet too. I'll PM you in a sec.

Kate,

Just sent you my spreadsheet. Hope it helps you. Please share with anyone you like.

Scott, You know I think as far as updating just adding the new products should be fine, that way if you have something that is no longer available you still know what you have. Maybe add an " * " to the products that are known to be discontinued. Have not had time to fool around with your spreadsheet yet. Is the one I have the last one or did you make changes.

 

Thanks again for the spreadsheet.

That does sound like a good idea. Maybe when I get a chance I'll tweak it a little bit and include the special runs. Thanls.

I literally started a similar list yesterday! I'm not into "collecting them all" but my inventory between 2 brands has gotten out of hand!

 

I think it's a good idea.

Really? What a coincidence. To me it makes it so much easier to keep track of things because all of my stuff is not in the same place. 

I have attached my little checklist of the things that I have for my own record. 

FYI the Chemical guys and Meguiars Towels I got before finding Adam's so take it easy on me.

I just sealed the paint last week. Next thing I need to pick up is the buttery wax and apply that before it gets to cold here.

Also some doubles of things. But this is everything I have accumulated in 2 months. I'm sure it will only get worse. hahaha

Welcome Scott!  Post some pictures of your MB.

 

Where in NYC are you? I'm in Queens.

Hey Chris. Thanks. I live in Forest Hills. Im guessing by your name you live in Rockaway hahaha. I get home after sunset so I have to wait till  the weekend to take my car out of the garage and outside with some good sunlight. I def will get some awesome shots of my car tho and post it. Im glad to see people actually want to see it. Makes the time and effort that much more rewarding. 

Welcome Matt

welcome. 

There was one in the past, and I believe some folks worked on an updated one recently.  However with new products coming online, and other being replaced, it makes keeping on up to date a challenge.

That makes sense. Maintenance would be challenging. I didn't know about the one in the past. Thanks for letting me know.

So building off of what I mentioned before I have put together a little template if anyone is interested. I decided to attach it to the first post so most people who look at this thread would be able to see it. 

This is my template of Adam's Detailing Supplies. I have included only the core products. No seasonal or special runs (Pumpkin Spice).

This forum will not let me upload an excel spreadsheet so if anyone is interested, I'll be more than happy to email it to you. It has drop down lists to select sizes and amounts. 

Anyway. This is just something I though would help out some people. If there is anything I missed please let me know so I can edit it. Thanks. I look forward to the feedback.

I think it would be a pretty cool idea if Adam's or anyone else can create a spreadsheet or checklist that encompasses all of the products. This was we would be able to see what we have already bought and what else we need to buy. Also maybe be able to link it to our profile where other can people can see our collection of products.

Just a wild thought.

It can also turn in to a "collect them all" type deal. I know that sounds a little corny but you get the idea I'm trying to get at. 

Let me know if this sounds like a good idea or if I'm just out of my mind.

Welcome. Glad to see there are new guys just like me.

Welcome, fellow newbie!

 

7 orders...Wow. Did you need to move into a smaller place to offset the investment?!

hahaha. I think I need to. Its just addicting. Once I get one product its the "oh wait I have to do this as well" moments. 

I think the double soft are the best on the market. Every other companies towels that I have bought it the past are so cheap compared to this. They stick and drag to my hand. All of the Adam's towels are amazing but the double soft is the best of the best.

Thanks guys. I'll definitely post some pics soon.

Hey guys,

New to Adam's here and checking in from NYC.

I discovered Adam's about 2 months and have fallen in love. Have made 7 purchases and basically have every Adam's product. This past weekend I finally found the time to do a complete detail on my car (Mercedes c300). After 6 hours split between 2 days my car looks amazing. So happy with these products and the customer service. The employees at Adam's are top notch. 

Anyway. Look forward to joining the forum and seeing what everyone has to say.
