Used the Trim Restorer and Ceramic Coating on the Avalanche this weekend.. Great results and glad Adam's has these products to make the truck look good again!
Pre treatments:



 
Post Restorer and Coating:

Had a friend come by to have me look at her IS350c that she bought new in 2009(2010 model) that she has never had polished, waxed or even the wheels cleaned.. Will give her this, it only saw touchless carwashes, so wasnt too bad with swirls.  The carwashes did a number on the paint tho.. dull, lifeless and a wicked stain coming out of the mirrors, almost like they aren't sealed to the body properly.  Well, 6hrs later, stripped, clayed, polished, sealed, glazed and buttery waxed and wheels cleaned as best as possible without taking them off.. looks not too bad.  She did the interior, good thing she is a bit of neat freak, the inside wasn't bad.. just some spots needed Leather Cleaner and the rest treated with Leather Conditioner and Interior Detailer...
Oh, and she went home and placed an order with Adams..  another person hooked on Adams after seeing the results...

Was getting annoyed at how the previous owner didn't look after the wheels on the car, so took them off, hand polished them with some CP then sealed them up with a 3rd party 9H ceramic... Looks a bit better.. let's see how the ceramic holds up. 
After hand polishing.. really need to get a nano polisher..arms killing me..lol

 
After coating...
 

yep...my real dog decided to take a bite out of my air freshener when I wasn't looking...Dog likes Adams too...lol

Maintenance wash on the daily driver...
 

 

 

 

Most likely a Tow Hook.  There is a spot on those cars to take a plastic cover off and screw in a tow hook recovery point..

After a day at Track School at the Mosport DDT, my Brembo's sure made a mess of my wheels, queue Adam's Wheel Cleaner... If I keep doing this, maybe a ceramic coating might make life easier..... Next step.. full detail to get any other track grime off the car.
 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to this thread, there is another LED light stand in the wild to help kill those swirls....  I was about $37CDN for all the pieces, wicked discounts up here in Ont on LED lights, only 7.99 for the two par30 bulbs at 5k.

This would make for a really nice canvas print on the wall in a rec room.

Hey Rich, that's good info for the folks that live in the USA... problem is the toll free line doesn't work from Canada and we have to call direct.     Not a big deal as I have only had to call in once and as always, the folks there are great to work with.  Being north of the 49th, I'm very used to US based toll free numbers not working for me, but that is life in the Great White North.

Congratulations on your endeavors, I really feel you nailed this concept and have been trying to impart this on my managers where I work:
 
" clients and customers are different people. A customer is a one time transaction. A client is multiple times. They come back. They talk to people. They engage with you. These are who you want to be your clients. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship. Customers are still good revenue, but don’t provide the continued returns that a client does. "
 
I work for a fortune 100 company and they keep calling our clients, customers.  Do people that spend multiples of millions of dollars on your products and services customers???? 
 
 

Had a day above freezing here in Canada, so broke out the new Worx HydroShot and gave it a whirl.  All my outside faucets are shut off for winter, so this system kinda made sense...only issue I ran into is battery longevity, might look into getting a second battery to ensure I can also wash my wife's truck in one shot.... car is white, so hard to tell how dirty it was, but there was a fair amount of salt on it and with just the HydroShot most came off before breaking out the car shampoo and finishing it off with a detail spray dry.  Car had LPS applied to it in Sept. and still beads ups, so still working...maybe next time I'll top it off with some G&G.

Hi Shane,
Good site, the only thing I would suggest is to not load all the info on your home page and to have the tabs at the top open new pages.  This will allow for your site to load faster for people with slower links and aide in caching the site on a proxy or local browser cache.   Only other thing I would make sure of, is you can see some people license plates and for some reason.. some peeps get pretty anal about that, not sure why, but would hate to see someone freak out on you over that if you didn't have their thumbs up for putting their car on your site.

But what if you only own black cars polished with Adams products ????  LOL.....

Now to correct GM orange peel on the 2011 Avalanche...
