  1. Once the wax wears off, consider adding HGG to the mix every 4 washes or so to maintain your sealant, add gloss, etc. In the meantime, DS is great for after the other washes, and BG when you just want to show off.
  2. My vote is for RW, as well. Great stuff...check out the kit when you're ready.
  3. That one made me laugh out loud, Rich. And to answer the question, I just keep mine on some shelves. Nothing special here.
  4. The general rule is more durable products are applied first...in other words, sealant (like PS or HGG), then wax, then glaze. BUT...it can also be personal preference based on desired effect. Some like to apply glaze between sealant and wax, for example. So really, neither you nor your buddies can lose. Just take them out to lunch and split the bill 50/50. See this article for more on longevity and layering info:
  5. Welcome to the addiction, Joe! Great looking SS.
  6. Welcome to the addiction, Tommy! Agreed with comments above on use of HGG and DS on any parts of the vehicle, to include chrome trim. HGG is my personal favorite product from Adam's. But any of the sealant, wax and/or BG will work just fine and is safe to use, as well. Just experiment and see what you like best, understanding they all offer different levels of shine and protection. For the wheels, PS and HGG does really well (mileage will vary), but wheel coating will offer the longest lasting and most durable protection. Great looking SUV, by the way...but I am a little concerned it appears to have grown a woman's leg. I don't know if Adam's really sells anything for that....but I guess LC will work on the shoe.
  7. Welcome to the party, Andrew! Great looking car.
  8. Nice car, Corey! Great color, and I've always liked red calipers.
  9. Any word on the grand opening? Or did I miss it? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
  10. Welcome, Ralph! Some TRC is certainly in your future. Great looking Jeep.
  11. This is my surprised face, Rich: Doesn't sound like you have anything to lose, either. Good luck...and don't forget an apron.
  12. Ditto, on both having a white car and this not happening, as well as spraying the applicator vs. tires. If you do decide to spray the tires directly, Brian's suggestion of using a towel to wipe off the excess is spot on. Keep in mind different tires react differently to the products, even tires by the same manufacturer on the same car. Those differences likely explain why you're having a different experience with the new car. And if it keeps happening, you might want to try VRT (again?) - it's not as shiny, but still a great product.
  13. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming it was a good thing to do to it. But it got me out of a pickle for now, so lesser of two evils.
  14. That's what I'm thinking, too. Maybe a bad solder somewhere that the heat remelded. I'll chalk it up to a mini-miracle for now.
  15. Welcome to the addiction, Erik! If you can solve the riddle of spousal understanding, I'm sure many on here will be happy to hear the secret... And while I was off, it wasn't as far off as it may have seemed, huh?!
  16. Thanks, Wyatt. I panicked, started boiling them, lost patience - what the %#×! do you do with a boiling hot DST?! Impossible to ring out - and so washed in MRB. Anyway, they're soaking now in APC and I'll rewash tomorrow in MRB. Fingers crossed. I about freaked when I found them! OK, not "about." I did. Did I mention two brightly colored, non-MF towels also found their way in the mix?
  17. My MF towels got put in the laundry with regular soap and fabric softener - not by me - can they be fixed? If so, how?! Please help!!!
  18. The addiction is real, gentlemen. Just meet it head on and order the Ultimate Kit.
  19. Yes, you read the title correctly. Don't believe me? Read on... About a week ago, my (admittedly outdated LG G3) phone died on me. Out of nowhere, the screen went blue and the phone shut down. It wouldn't turn on, wouldn't take a charge. Nothing. It was D-E-D, dead! While I forgot to get a picture of my phone, here's what it looked like: So now what??? Dr. Google to the rescue! After a little research, I found this is fairly common with G3's. I came across multiple articles and videos describing how people applied heat to the motherboard as a fix action. Hair dryers, heat guns, and ovens, too. I thought no way that could work, but I'm not an electrical engineer. But the phone is essentially a brick, so what do I have to lose? Well, besides all the data I hadn't backed up in a little while. Anyway, off to the kitchen! Phone disassembled, motherboard laid gently on the cookie sheet. *No cooking spray applied. Oven temp set at 350' (later reduced to 325', basically out of fear ), and timer set for 10 VERRRRYYYYYY LOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGG minutes. A watched motherboard never broils... Dinner's ready!!! It didn't really brown, that's just the lighting. I think. Soooooo, did it work? Phone reassembled...press power button........wait.........no blue screen.......wait..........Verizon startup screen!......wait......... YES!!! I am back up and running, and - knock on wood - have been ever since. And there's even a little Adam's reflection on the home screen for your viewing pleasure. I must admit I really thought I was being punked. But I'm not surprised at all to know there are plenty of smarter people than me out there. When in doubt, phone a friend! P.S. Hat tip to @Norton who doesn't believe I'll get a new phone anytime soon. He's probably right.
  20. Agreed with Ryan...the heat gun (not too hot!) could work really well and lessens the risk of damage to the finish. But then again, I'm only speculating - I've never done either option.
