Welcome to your newest addiction, Cedric! Thankfully, someone has already posted what you'll need to start...check here.

Welcome, Tim! Nice ride. That pic would've been perfect for the August photo contest on here, too.

Not reading my posts anymore, Joe?!

How long does it last? It depends. Applying it a few times a year, at a minimum, should be expected. About 200 miles of in-the-rain driving will likely remove it due to friction of the wipers, as will an entire reservoir of windshield washer fluid. Any cleaner or product with ammonia and/or alcohol will also remove the GS, so be careful about what you use (Adam's GC doesn t have either). Adding the boost will only serve to prolong its life. Agreed with Sherri...get the sealant first, then add the boost later. While it's a small bottle, don't worry, it doesn't take much to seal the windshield.

I'm not familiar with a glass cleaner pump. What is that? Any pictures?

Besides parking upwind and walking, you'll likely need to focus on cleaning when possible vs. it not getting dusty. So you know, diluting RW 16:1 creates a WW-like solution that can be used for the same purposes. It won't smell as aweosme, in my opinion, but it will get the job done at a much more economical price point. That, or buy a light-colored car that doesn't show dust as much (I assume your's is dark/black).

Welcome to the addiction, James! You've come to the right place to keep those sweet rides shiny!

Quite possibly my favorite "informative" article on this forum, and have referenced/linked to it numerous times. Should be mandatory reading for all newbies when an account is created.

Thanks, Dan! Hope to make it.

Hearing rumors of a clinic tomorrow at the HQ. Any more details on the...detailing?

What a turn around. That next to last pic looks like one of the actual tree, only upside down. Well done, Jimmy!

Some more thoughts...because as Jim/pirranah3 says, you think you've ordered enough and you laugh, but just wait! - Save yourself some time/effort and don't bother with a 2-bucket wash right now. Its main purpose is to reduce potential for damage, but since you aren't going to corect the car anyway till spring, my guess is you can carefully wash it this time with a good wash pad and the grit guard. - If you have it, and since you didn't order the SW, a few ounces of APC in your wash bucket will do well to strip wash the car before you begin your detail - WW is awesome stuff, but it's not meant for much more than light dust, fingerprints, etc. Hopefully you aren't planning to use it for winter grime? - RW can handle dirtier cars, but still won't and isn't meant to tackle caked on mud, winter road grime, etc.

Welcome, Austin. Great to have you along for the shine! Agreed with above. If you're in the market for a polisher, now's the time.

I wonder if Tommy Boy's car is done up with DS? Then again, as great as it is, I don't think Adam's could've put much of a dent into the damage that deer did. P.S. No, I don't see bees hanging around much when I use it. But bugs in general really seem to like my (white) car a lot more when clean.

Welcome to the addiction, Crs! You're gonna love it here. Where in WV? I was born and raised there... P.S. Let's Gooooo, Mountaineers!

Sloppy Joe...Slop, Sloppy Joe! https://youtu.be/VY14zcUM9SI"] Classic. Thanks for that trip down memory lane!

Jim!

, Mike. I like the picture. Somehow the focus, or lack of, adds some cool effects to the shine. Lookin' good.

This forum is awesome. The people even moreso.

When the addiction is this deep, what's another $239 for "one" bottle? At least you get free shipping.

First, welcome, Dustin! To clarify, PS should only be needed about every 6 months, not "every couple." For a daily, PS is a great base layer, and HGG ever 4-6 washes is perfect for maintenance. Super easy to apply, it'll also add awesome shine. BG really adds some pop, but it doesn't last very long at all. Read this for more insight: http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/27631-faq-should-i-use-wax-or-sealant-on-my-car/, and see what works for you. Feel free to ask any questions you have...we are all here to help!

Pictures or it didn't happen, gentlemen!

Sounds like a good plan to me, too. Keeping the budget in mind, a great kit is the Winter Wash kit, currently on sale for $150. Add in the 10% off forum discount code "shineon", and it's a steal. http://adamspolishes.com/shop/kits/adam-s-winter-washing-detail-kit.html. Then, add in some PS and a MF applicator pad and you're nearly all set! (If you want to splurge and like to roll the dice a little, Mystery Boxes are a fun/great way to start...just sayin'). I have a white car, too, and will likely not do any correction until Spring, either. My process will be similar to yours. HGG looks great on white, by the way. Check out this video for a how-to to get ready, noting the products Adam is using and how they may apply to your goals: Then, watch this for how to maintain: Post some pictures when you're done. Would love to see those rides!

Welcome, Nikhil! With Adam's, we'll likely see the shine off that new car halfway around the globe!
