Yesterday, swapped out 10 incandescent recessed light fixtures for LEDs on the main level. If each bulb really saves me $335, that's a lot of Adam's stuff...over the next 50,000 hrs. Today, watching the Master's.

Car Shampoo
falcaineer replied to Raycruz42's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Pick up some In & Out spray. Makes getting protection into the small nooks and crannies pretty easy. -
Car Shampoo
falcaineer replied to Raycruz42's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
HGG is not too good to be true. It's true to be that good! And Adam's backs up everything with 110% guarantee, if it's not your thing. Buy it. You won't regret it. -
Cleaning/Detailing while living in Apartments?
falcaineer replied to jvibe92's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I see what you did there, Joe. Jvibe, there are some great tips in Adam's winter wash video for using the coin op. https://youtu.be/kmy92830C7g -
, Phil, and to the addiction! Great to have you along for the shine!

CONGRATULATIONS, Dustin! You definitely out-kicked your coverage, my friend. Only other thing I'll say is her ring had better shine more than your car!!! All the best to you both!

How'd it go, Joe? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? -
Cleaning/Detailing while living in Apartments?
falcaineer replied to jvibe92's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Thanks, Joe. I tried to do that at the end of the Rinseless paragraph, but it may be easily overlooked in the "novel" I wrote! Also, I'm must admit I just had another basic thought that many of you may already have considered, but the difference really is in the product name. WW requires no extra water; just spray and wipe. RW requires extra water, albeit in a bucket (and when not diluted to be used as a waterless spray), but no rinse is needed; just wipe down the car, do some light drying off, and you're done. Hmm. Why did I never think of that before? Adam's really does try to make it simple! -
Cleaning/Detailing while living in Apartments?
falcaineer replied to jvibe92's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
The differences can be a little difficult to understand at first...I went through the same thing...so let me try to help boil it down: Waterless (http://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/carwashing/adam-s-waterless-car-wash.html) is a spray solution that's best used for for light surface dust or dirt, fingerprints, etc. It works really well with the complimentary WW towels. By the way, it smells great! Rinseless (http://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/carwashing/adam-s-rinseless-car-wash.html) is often used in conjunction with a bucket and several gallons of water, and can be used on dirtier vehicles (heavy dirt, mud, etc., should still be sprayed off beforehand, at a coin op, for example). It works really well with the SST and DST. Note, you can also create a more economical waterless wash type solution by diluting a couple ounces in 32oz of water. Be sure to watch the videos on the Adam's website for each product as linked above, and check out this thread, too: http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/29727-waterless-vs-rinsless-wash/ Of course, ask any more questions here and we'll all chime in. -
Adam's Gave Me Back...The Shirt Off My Back!
falcaineer replied to falcaineer's topic in Testimonials
I'm happy to report that, while it took 3 applications of the CUC, I think I can declare victory! On the final try, I put a folded towel in the sleeve to absorb any excess cleaner and/or whatever the stain was so as to keep it from simply transferring to the other side of the sleeve. While it looked good to go, I ran the shirt through the wash, too, to remove any CUC residue. That was one tough stain. But Adam's is tougher! -
Adam's Gave Me Back...The Shirt Off My Back!
falcaineer replied to falcaineer's topic in Testimonials
Quick update...don't want to give any spouses the wrong info and cause marital strife!...some of the stain came back this morning. Might have been the iron. I'll clean it again and give another update this evening. -
Saved a nice shirt with the CUC. See here for more details! P.S. Moderator, if this is considered a duplicate post, please delete.

I have a collared long sleeve shirt (60/40 cotton/polyester) that's been hanging in the closet for the last 1-2 years due to a mysterious stain on the sleeve. Multiple attempts with so-called "stain removers" proved fruitless. That is, until Adam's came along. First, a hat tip to Tom (tmccoy2236) for planting the idea in my head. Now, to the thought - I wonder if Adam's CUC will work? What the heck. Let's find out........... "The Before." You can see the dark, shaded area. No idea what it is. "The During." A few sprays of CUC, allowing it to soak into the stain, and agitation with the cockpit brush. "The After." Voila. It looks good as new. I think I'll wear it tomorrow! Thanks, Adam's! Edit: When you give a shout out, at least use the right name. Sorry, TOm!

That one may not buff out. But glad you're ok, Dustin.

Welcome to the addiction, Ray! Great to have you along for the shine!

Welcome to the addiction, Scott! Please no pics of Portillo's or Lou Malnati's. You'll just start making me drool.

Paint correction

That last one looks as clear as a starry night! -
Looks really good, Joel. Would never guess almost 200K miles.

Not bad at all. Here's another link for a more current version. May have another tidbit or two...

Removed vinyl stripes, now what
falcaineer replied to musclejunkie's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Agreed with Nathan. However, also wondering if the existing wax, etc, is that thick, a 2nd go at SW probably wouldn't hurt. Then clay, etc. -
Hearing Protection

Good excuse...until she switches sides. Then it may "switch" to the right ear.
