I don't have the hose kit for the sidekick. My MBR has a 30' hose on it for when I want to get it somewhere. When using the sidekick, we just use the tip on it and let it do its work. It does great at moving debris out of crevices and panel seams. For heavy moving, it's all the MBR.

I am a nerd... but it fits perfectly in the back seat arm rest area in my F-150...!!!

Thanks for your input guys I will go ahead and give the WIx/Napa Gold a whirl as well as the Quaker State!

I'm a fan of Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic and strictly use Motor raft filters....But I own two Ford's. Wiz has always been a go to brand of filter.
 
And I'll second the motion of not doing an oil change every 3k miles unless you really beat on it (I'm talking track/strip time). If your running a decent quality synthetic and filter, I'd say every 6-7.5k miles is a good interval. Blackstone labs will do a used oil analysis for about $20 if you really want to dial in your change intervals.

If your only running your oil for 500 miles almost any brand name should be ok. The filter is not where you want to cheep out! The filter is going to catch all the metal shavings and bearing material that is going to be in the Engine after a rebuild, and most wear occurring in the first couple hundred miles.
I've had good luck with Mobil 5000 and recently Mobil 1 oils. I always run AC Delco filters.
I usually go about 5K on an oil change, oil is much better than it used to be, so I feel 3K is too soon, especially with synthetic. If in doubt you could have a oil analysis done. But if you feel better about 3K oil changes it's cheep maintenance.
On the race toy we use Kendall racing oil and Wix racing filters, and both get changed after 8-10 nights of racing

I would think if you buy the ceramic kit for trim and do the prep steps very carefully you should be ok, maybe clean the plastic twice. Or scrub the plastic with tire and rubber cleaner and then see how it looks. I'm by no means a ceramic installation expert, so just my suggestion

It's easy to remove, it also prevents leaks. Left one in my rag bin and now my clean rags smell like detail spray.

Truth and Honesty always win in the end. Your right that feeling in your gut just sinks you down but usually with honesty people are more understanding of what happened and willing to work with you on fixing it. 

Doors look awesome. Nice work on the floors

I've had that happen with my Hotmail as well.  But it's simple to check. Log in, go to your account, orders, and it will give you the tracking number from FedEx.  Then go to Fed Ex Tracking, put in the number (copy and paste) and it will keep  you up to date.
I've had times when it said it was being delivered on a Wednesday and the stuff came Monday (either early or late)   So they're not 100% accurate especially if it doesn't come directly FedEx, but mostly when it goes FedEx Mail.  They're always slower.  But even if you don't get an email from Adam's, it's easy to check.

Opinion noted, but I didn't ask for it. The question was for solution also it never stained before so I asked a question.

^^ thanks, I wasn't sure on the outer edge spacing. I've got a bunch of plastic totes (6 quart) on the bottom 2 shelfs for brushes and accessories. And bigger totes (15 quart) for towels.

I laid out the edges all the way around 1" then measured my 32 ounce bottles and laid out the width for two rows and took started by doing the outside bottle holes of each row and then measured to center for the middle one.
 
For the 8oz/16oz bottles I started with one whole and then just eyeballed it and stepped over for each keeping a similar spacing between each that would keep me the same distance from the 1" boarder line and fit the most bottles. After that I drilled the 4oz bottle hole and the Sidekick hole. After that I filled in with the paint correction set, the metal polish set, the paint sealant then two holes big enough for an aresol can (the aresol glass cleaner IS coming SOON per Adams) which will open up a 8/16oz spot for something else like waterless wash or something.
 
For the hole sizes I simply purchased the harbor freight hole saw kit that was on sale for 6.99 or 7.99 with coupon (can't remember which price) the day I bought the cart. I used the saw size that would reach the edges of the bottles I was cutting for (remember that when the saw cuts through there will be about another 1/16th more that the inner demensions of the hole saw to make up for the width of the teeth) or the next size if there wasn't one that would come to edges of the item I wanted to drill for. Also I want to note that I simply kept the disc that remained after cutting for the sidekick to elevate it enough to clear the handle and the cord and sit correctly. I attached it to the bottom of the tray with a centered bolt. I do plan to remove it and paint it but for it is just bare wood.
 
I used the cart today while washing my wife's Tahoe and it was nice having everything I constantly use right there and easy to move around as I went. For example the 3 end 32oz bottles are Wheel Cleaner, Tire and Rubber Cleaner, and All Purpose Cleaner which all three are used in the wheel washing. The next 3 32oz size holes are a bottle of Detail Spray, H2O G&G, and then the Adams' Shampoo.
 
My 16oz bottles are Interior Detailer, Leather/Interior Cleaner, Fabric/Upolstry Cleaner, Undercarriage Spray, Tire Shine, Glass Cleaner (for now), a bottle of Leather Conditioner, a bottle of VRT, and a bottle of Brillant Glaze.
 
The biggest thing is have fun and be creative! Make it hold what you want it too.

Bosch Icons. Had problems with 2 sets of OEM blades, was almost ready to have new wiper arms put on under warranty, put on the Icons and no more issues. They sell them with diffrent connectors, diffrent part number for each style, mine went on very easy.
Get them from Wal-Mart, I found that's were they are the cheepest, the parts stores want way too much for them.
I also have the Adam's glass sealer and have no issues with the Bosch blades.

Friend of mine has done a few. I'm gonna let him tackle it.

It took me a minute to figure out "MBR"...then I became seriously jealous! 

Great diy project

Is it OK if I resurrect this one?

On new green glass towel, use the thick/longer fiber side to clean. Them short fiber side to polish the window. I've personally had no issues with Adam's class cleaner and new towels. Seems a little cleaner goes a long way. When using previous spray head use a fast steady squeeze for best atomization.I think the plush waffle towels are out.

I do a similar process as Adam. I make sure to "clean" the glass with Rinseless at every wash, and I do that first. Brilliant Glaze would probably speed up the process, but I do it at every wash so it isn't too bad at all. Clay and Glass Sealant on the outside definitely makes a huge difference! Then a final wipedown with just a small spray of Glass Cleaner makes it flawless!

Welcome to the addiction

I heard about Adams through a co-worker that had a truck he showed. I wasted a lot of time looking at the products but never ordered until recently. After a wash and wax with some cheap junk that we got at Walmart I hated how that paint on my car looked and felt. I watch for them to have a big sale and jumped on it. Needless to say I've dropped more money than I intended but I have no doubt it will be worth it. PA weather hasn't allowed me to get out all the stuff I bought, but I was able to get out the car shampoo and detailing spray last week and wash off the grime. Just those two products alone made the Hyperblue paint on my Crosstrek really pop. Can't wait for the weather to break then I'm tackling our neglected black '05 Tahoe and my wife's black Subaru Legacy. Time to bring these cars up to better than showroom finish!

Heck ya, looks good! My local dealer had a deal I could pass up. Single cab 2wd, just about loaded as you can get single cab with the 5.3L. Truck is awesome!
