Dealt with this. It is May. Right?!

That's actually a grey version of the red one you saw in the Adam's clinic thread from last weekend. They were running a special that day only so I can't vouch for the price anymore, but here's a pic of both.

A gallon of everyghing, ~50 Double Softs, and a 10ft ladder. That thing is HUGE! P.S. Post some pics when you're done. It's gonna look great. P.P.S. Welcome to the addiction!

I stand corrected. My nose betrayed me! Asked Ryan at Adam's, and he said they were indeed going for a cotton candy scent for the new Matte Detailer. Apparently it's easier to tell when sprayed vs. "nose to bottle." Enjoy the deliciousness!!!

Took the words right out my mouth...or off my keyboard? I brought this up to Matt recently and he said he'd put it on the list!

Give Customer Service a call in the morning and explain what happened. They might just be able to hook you up. (866) 965-0400

Yep, and here's a picture for a side-by-side comparison with a "regular" Adam's logo sticker. Of note: - While it's hard to tell, even with a flash, the two new limited edition stickers are a matte finish, not the normal shiny finish of previous stickers (Matte Detailer, anyone? ) - The one on the right is "all sticker"...no border peels off, in other words Not sure of your source, Wyatt, but after smelling it at last weekend's clinic, I'd call it more of a grape scent. Well, maybe it's grape cotton candy?

Love the GWT; I also just bought one of the new ultra plush drying towels. But another thought for you is to pick up a Sidekick. It's an awesome tool, and reading on here about how people with motorcycles love them (us with cars/trucks do, too, but motorcycles are more similar in this example ), I think it would help your drying process immensely. Add in that it's currently on sale, then double down with either the on-going 10% forum discount or a 15% sale like what's going on now, and it's a real bargain. Think about it.

Go ahead and apply it to the wheel wells (without UCS), it won't hurt. And use it on the rest of the car for that matter!

Firat, welcome to the addiction! As for process, a brief summary of the major steps is strip wash, clay bar, polish (which kind of kinds depends on correction needed), then seal/wax/glaze, or even coat (read this to decide which you'll want to use, including layering products: http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/27631-faq-should-i-use-wax-or-sealant-on-my-car/).Watch all the videos here, http://adamspolishes.com/video, and ask questions/read the forum articles. The fun part is coming up with what works for you, as we all have our own little idiosyncrasies. That car is going to look great! Black cars usually do. Good luck!

To clarify, diluted RW and WW are not exactly the same (different formulas), but they are very similar. They're both meant to provide alternate ways to wash a car without pulling out all the stops, for whatever reason you don't want to or can't do. WW is just that...you can clean a car that has light dust or dirt, fingerprints, etc., with just the bottle of product and some WW towels - no water needed. RW is meant for dirtier cars (not caked on stuff, though), but you'll need a couple ounces of product, a bucket of water, and several DST (preferred). I want to say the RW has more shine enhancing properties than WW, but I'll need someone else to chime in to clarify. Diluting the RW provides a more economical approach than does the WW. As for the scent, I prefer the WW quite a bit more. Bottom line, I'd recommend you buy a bottle of RW, try it out, and decide for yourself if both should be in your arsenal. Adam's offers a 110% guarantee, so you don't have anything to lose. For me, I like having them both. Edit: changed WW to RW in the last paragraph - reread your post and realized you already have the WW! Oops.

I'm thinking you treat it similar to a daily driver for your approach. So, in my opnion, the fastest solution is probably VRT the trim and tires, UCS under the body (not what is normally done for a car, but the 4-wheeler is smaller and easier to work with), and PS on the body. Don't know about the seat, but maybe ID or LC. Then, use HGG or Ceramic Boost every so often to keep protection going. All of these products should be fine on the plastics, since they work more than perfect on a car's. Post some pics when done!

We may have walked right past each other! I'm here in the Springs, too, by the way.

Patience, grasshopper!

Yep, sure do! It probably won't be the last time that happens, either. Welcome to the addiction!

Was fortunate to already get a couple of those. They're pretty sweet!

Now you're just rubbing it in!

You ever try sheet/pool rinsing, Jacob? Might save you some time, especially since the Sidekick, while it will work, isn't really built for a full dry.

I wait until I'm done drying the car, then break out the Sidekick. Sometimes I pull in the garage, sometimes not. Adam demoed using the Sidekick during the clinic last weekend, with a dark colored car in direct sunlight on a warm day. To reduce the chance of spots in those conditions, he didn't spray the car with any water until after foaming the car with the Foam Gun - the soap dried on the car while he talked - and washing with the 2-bucket method using the wash sponge and merino wash mitt. Finally, he rinsed the car...mentioning the "race against time" that ensued against spotting...then applied HGG (drying during that process). Then, finally, he used the Sidekick and new MF drying towel for touch-up. For what it's worth, the car was outside the entire time.

Welcome to the next stage of the addiction, Ash!

Got the privilege to see both of those at last week's clinic (and maybe a few other things that I can neither confirm nor deny knowledge of ). Stay tuned! The Matte Detailer smells awesome, by the way...
