Watching Shameless on Netflix and saw Adams being used! Season 2 episode 9 "Hurricane Monica". A lady is washing her semi with Adams. I got so excited when I seen it, while my wife proceeded to roll her eyes. About 18 minutes in.
 

Don't move the vehicle until you have completely removed the hose slides.....

I made the same mistake first time ever using it. 3 seconds after starting I realized something just didnt feel right...

Hey guys, Kyle here. I'm in charge of product development at HQ and I can assure you that project is still in the premature stages. It was originally conceptualized to be a tablet style with "glass Boost" application but the alcohol content in the Boost has been pesky for perfect results. We have some goodies coming for ya! 

Yesterday Adams released a new video almost 20 minutes on wheel detailing. It was specific and showed how to properly clean and treat the wheels. Many of Adams "How To" videos are outdated.
As someone who has only been a customer in the last year or so, I was glad to finally see a refreshed "How To with some newer products. I wouldn't mind seeing Adams come out with newer updated videos like this. I understand these videos take a lot of time to produce but I feel it would be a great learning tool for some of the new people.
I made a list of some more videos I wouldn't seeing updated or created. Let me know your thoughts or what you would like to see.
 
- In-depth on paint correction
- Engine bay detailing
- Ceramic Coating
- Basic 2 bucket wash
- Pad care
- Mixing Ratios
- Drying techniques
 
Again some of these exist and some are simple but would be good for newbies.

I'm sure finishing the customers car was more important then the warranty. I would hope Adams would replace it anyway under those circumstances

Ended up being the power cord. As I wiggled it, it would cut out. Cut about a foot of wire off and reconnected...works great now. Guessing it was pinched somewhere.

Great results man! I will have to test this out this winter. I will be sure to do a write up/review. 

You can use all Adam’s compounds and polishes on gel coat. Gel coat is hard to work with because it is very thick and tough, that being said, it is hard to burn through as well. You will want the correcting compound. Good luck!

The panels are too close to the tire, itll get on the paint. Maybe on the truck that might work but I feel like all the product going into the wheel well is being wasted. Spraying the applicator has worked best for me. 

I was going to ask the OP that question. Spraying on the applicator also avoids getting any overspray on the rim or paint. I also noticed you dont need much product to get a nice look. 
 
If all else fails, try those cheap microfiber towel packs from big box stores and use them exclusively for you tires. Itll be more flexible than the foam applicator, and cheap enough to throw away after a few uses

I spray the tire shine directly onto the hex applicator then apply it to the tire with the applicator. Gives it a nice even coat, without slinging issues.

Why don't you go with a pump pressure sprayer. Similar to the Colad one that Adams offers? I've contemplated on switching over to a few of those for my main chemicals I use a lot of.

Today I finished a project which is a handle that connects two bucket caddies together.  This allows me to move them around more easily.  This two-bucket setup is dedicated to wheels and tires.
 

 
The handle is from a old garden tool, I bolted on two steel straps, painted it black, and then bolted it to the bucket caddies.  I also drilled small holes around the inside of the caddies to let water drain out.
 

 

I have one of these in my workshop for aerosol cans on my workbench,

I also have one of these for when I build my detail cart,

The harbor freight one isnt bad, but its small and only has room for 2 or 3 bottles if I remember correctly. 

Just watched Adams Headlight Restoration video and noticed this gem hiding on the back wall. Anyone at Adams or on here know where I can get one? I would love to have these in my shop.
 

Welcome fellow Ohioan...Coldwater here...

We have a few small things planned. All will be revealed soon

Another thought, from ideas presented elsewhere on here:
