I picked one up today in my last order so we shall see I guess.

Yeah the shine is what I want to avoid but want to add some type of protection if possible.

well dang...did I come along at the wrong time?  Heck I thought the buckets where all the same size I actually never paid attention to the size listing as I just assumed :-< and well...we all know what assumption is lol

thanks Wolf!

Ok so I am putting this out here in the hopes that the Adam's crew will see it and make them a reality. 

The two brushes offered for the wheels and the tires are "ok" but I think there is a LOT of room for improvement for both of these items. 

The tire brush could stand to be slightly stiffer, slightly curved inward in the center, rectangle in shape and have an oval shaped or bent J style handle to allow for a better scrubbing with more control of the bristle path to keep off of the wheel itself. 

The wheel brush should either be offered double ended or more of a rounded end with cleaning bristles slightly shorter while being soft and non scratching.  The exposed solid edges of the brush should have a non marring rubber type edge covering to aid in preventing dinging of the wheel or finish when cleaning.  Also, too often when using the wheel brush with the wheel cleaner I have to use my finger tips to agitate the cleaner to loosen the dirt and grime from my wheels or will be faced with many areas that will have to be re cleaned as the car is being dried.  Even after using G&G on the wheels etc this still is an issue. 

Cleaning brushes are a pivotal part of any cleaning arsenal, the wheel woolie and the fast stick are awesome products....how about refining the brushes some and don't let the local auto parts box store and Walmart brushes out do ya.

I say all this with love though!  :->

WOULD LOVE the 2gal or 3.5gal buckets to come along!  I have some small old buckets I use for the wheel washing. 

May I also let you take note of other groups that sell a TON of stickers to label the buckets for  wheels, rinse, wash.  Say way you want but people BUY these types of little items especially the ones who are OCD and want things labeled and organized etc.  PEOPLE LOVE stickers and such, I promise you are missing out on some profit by not offering such things. 

Might I also add that people would like to see the bucket dollies and other things offered as well. 

This is great input, and we are listening....  New Glass Cleaner is coming.... And I must say, treating the glass first is what I do on every car I clean. 

 

1. Brilliant Glaze on interior glass.

2. Clay and Glass Sealant on Exterior Glass.

3. Easy time cleaning with a mist of Waterless Wash and a Waterless Wash Towel on all glass, once treated.

 

Time for a video!

then why sell the glass cleaner and new glass towel if you are recommending the waterless wash?  Of all the items I have purchased, the glass cleaner and the towels are ones I certainly am not fond of.  Not being a butt head or hateful but just voicing a question and opinion.

I know this is a bit taboo in these parts but I find Junkman's glass cleaning tutorial is fantastic. Cut with one towel {competing product name removed}. However, Adam's glass cleaning towels seem to be cut from the same cloth [+1 for the pun] with long nap on one side, short on the other. Polish/Buff with the second towel. The glass master pro helps in my BRZ so much with the tight angles of the glass.

Glass Master Pro?  details of this item?

I also am not a great fan of the new glass towel.  One side seems to catch like rubber and the other does not leave the cleanest finish. 

I meant to follow up here.  I got the side kick on the new years sale.  I LOVE THAT LITTLE THING!!!!  I wish I had not waited so LONG....the more expensive ones must be AMAZING if this little thing is this great!  But for just my own cars...MY GOODNESS you can not go wrong with a Side Kick!  BUY ONE!

What is the Quick Paint Sealant that is commonly referred to on here?  Is that the grey paint sealant currently offered?

What is recommended to use on satin flat black?

So no one has any replies to the glass towel question or the blue waffle utility towel info I asked about?

Which side of the new glass towel should be used?

Are the blue waffle utitly towels not being offered any longer?

I am also looking for info on the new mitt.  I am thinking of getting one.  I have the wedge and the sinthetic pads.  I like the wedge but I am not positive it is really not scracthing.  I also have the grit gaurds and the grit gaurd wash grate add on and it still doesnt get all of the gunk out of the pads when washing the car. 

I followed the Detail Docs video with the use of the cockpit brush.  I actually decided to buy one and mark it just for this use.  It works well but I also agree who the heck thought this material would be a good idea for ANY surface w/ constant friction and contact like shifters, steering wheels and seats. 

why is there so much panic when people clean the wheels and this happens to rotors?  This is normal oxidation in a rapid form from the aggressive cleaning solvent.  it is surface level only, move the car 20ft and use the brakes and boom it is gone.  As far as CBC rotors, I dunno but it is still a solid surface but posing the question to adams tech support would be best for those. 

AH good point Wolf

I got some Adam's gift cards as well!  Now to decide what to use them on!!!!

Nice thanks!  What are the opinions on the Side Kick or the Shop Vac.  I can not even come close to affording or even wanting to buy the other offerings from Adam's as they are WAY out of my range for just detailing my personal vehicles.

LSP?? lol I am new here.  and MBs?  I have a 14 Camaro SS 1LE and it is running some carbon ceramic HF pads.  

AND WHAT IS LSP???? lol

I noticed a few days ago the Blue Waffle Utility towel is no longer listed.  I love those things for wheels and door/trunk/hood jams etc.  I also do not like how the new glass towels do.  They seem to stick or hang up like a dry rubber or something across the glass.  Any tips??

gosh i just use the adam's great white drying towel.  I want a sidekick but just use a shop vac blower right now.  

So we are not supposed to use the wheel cleaner every wash??

I know this topic is well over a year old.  But is this still the same?  Only use the 2oz of MFRB and no other detergent with the towels?  Also why wash the towels with sealer or H2O G&G separately?  I have washed mine with my towels a couple of times already :-(

I'm new here. But how about a bug and tar removed or something to help get them off. Doesn't matter how much I have scrub etc I keep finding places from bugs/etc as I'm drying the car off. Very annoying

Thanks for the welcomes and the compliments!
