I would suggest you practice by coming here and do mine first.

Totally over thought this one.
I built an undercarriage sprayer last year with misc brass plumbing parts and drilled some holes.

Well, I feel stupid now!  

I just wanted to send along a big "THANK YOU" to Dan@Adams, Bianca@Adams, the Adam's marketing team, the Adam's shipping crew, and the rest of the Adam's team, in general! 
 
Here's the story (even if it's a coincidence): I sent an email request just last Friday to list the Foam Gun as the Daily Special. I hadn't seen it posted there in a while, kept striking out on the recent MB sales (despite seemingly buying one every time since July...but, hey, at least I have a healthy supply of CS, W&W, HGG and others!), and my desire was getting the better of me, especially with all the gifts already under the tree. Well, lo and behold, two days later, there it was as the Daily, as if to say, "Buy me!" How could I resist?! I had some minor issues placing the order on the site, but a quick call in the morning later, and it's already sitting comfortably in my garage (yes, it pays to live ~90 min south of the Mother Ship), just waiting to spread holiday cheer (read: SUDS!) all over my cars...as soon as the weather cooperates!!! 
 
Moral of the story - Adam's listens. 
 
Anyway, you all are the best, and really, your customer service, and of course, product quality, are second to none. You have earned my repeat business (until I go broke, anyway ). Keep up the GREAT work!
 
         

My winter tip for those that like to rinse off the under carriage of there vehicles. Just get a garden sprinkler that shoots upward and set it under your vehicle. Also, let it spray in that area of the underside and move around as necessary. Attached is a picture for reference.

And within a minute of each other. You twins?!

And within a minute of each other. You twins?!

Ummm, I may put on socks with my Crocs, and possibly a long sleeved t-shirt.   ....This our best time of year weather-wise.

You could also leave the used pad/pads on it or in the box, then claim you need more since, shockingly, "they came that way." (Feigned) ignorance is bliss.

Thanks, Joe/Michael. Both good tips which I'll give a shot. Any other ideas welcome...

That,Sir, is an Awesome garage!!!!!!!

I would recommend Racedeck flooring and if you join the garagejournal.com you will get a discount.
I have Racedeck Freeflow in my garage and I really like it.
As far as the cabinets, I have Gladiator garage and they too are nice.
 

 
 

I've found that my dual 500 watt halogen spot lights work best for silver and white cars. I will put them on the lower power setting for brightness, and either put them right in front of the car or right behind the car, at the headlight or taillight, and adjust it to about that height as well. Then I will look all sorts of goofy like a baseball catcher doing all sorts of odd left-right-up-down stretches as I'm looking down the car to make sure I removed all wax or polish. I do this with the garage doors closed, since it makes things easier without any sunlight glaring in, and so my neighbor doesn't think I'm practicing some sort of detailing kung fu

That has happened to me a few times on lighter colored vehicles, any wax or sealant is hard to see on a white, light grey, or silver vehicle. Usually a shot of detail spray removes it. Even better, wash it and top it off with H20 to remove the leftover sealant and add more protection.

When this happens to me I just use a spray on wax...any will do the trick, spray the area and it will moisten it right up for easy removal.

ECHO......ECHO.......ECHO........ECHO........
 
 

Just wanted to say how impressed I am with the Sidekick.  I just received mine and wow, so much power from such a small package.  I will never dry without it.
 
A thank you to Joseph at Adam's .com.au for getting this out to me.  It took a while to get here but was definitely worth the wait!
 

My dog has a panic attack anytime the vacuum cleaner comes out.  I can only imagine what she would think if I tried to use that to dry her.  She's 12, and to this day has NEVER been attacked by the vacuum....not sure why she's so afraid of it.

Now there's an idea...once the Patriot is gone, drill a hole in the cap, throw a string through it, write 2016 on the back, and voila!!! Problem solved!

My yellow lab used to dunk his head in my wash bucket and take my wash MIT while I was in the process of a car wash. Neighbors must have thought I was crazy when I'm chasing him around the yard yelling, and his head covered in soap suds

Pets will eat anything.  I put those interlocking rubber tiles under my car in the winter (like they have in day cares) but I store them in the basement in the summer. Our 12 year old cat eats them.  I have to wrap them in a tarp so he can't get at them.  But he makes some really colorful poop when he gets ahold of them. 

Looks great, Dustin! As a fellow white car owner, it's always nice to make the black car owners jealous every once in a while!   

I stripped, clayed, and sealed last week, so this week was the wash and HGG application. It's also been a really long time since I really pampered the trim and glass, so I took care of that. The following is my process, and the products used.
 
Wheel Cleaner
Tire and Rubber Cleaner on tires and rubber trim
Wash with CWS
Dry with HGG (paint and wheels)
 
Under Carriage Cleaner in wheel wells
Waterless Wash in all door jambs
SVRT on ALL trim, cowl, roof racks, running boards (makes them super slippery so it's a good thing I  don't really use them), and etc
Tire Shine
Glass Cleaner on all glass, inside and out
Glass Sealant on windshield and rear window
Waterless Wash final wipe down
 
Enjoy!
 

 
 
 
 

Nice Beemers!  
And don't take days off when it's raining. Take them off when it's really nice and sunny...........detail early.........then drive for the rest of the day. Those days are the best.
