I don't have any experience with the IK multi sprayers but I like traditional pump sprayers for some reason.  Zep has a nice 32 oz high output chemical sprayer with a fairly large mouth to refill that sprays my Adam's products very well.

In a first for me, I’m quoting myself! (Not to be confused with talking to myself 😁)

 

I forwarded the info for bulk orders to purchasing. I think it would be nice to get Adam’s the business.(We have over 40,000 people working from home, but quite a few of our offices have people still going in.)

I think I might know where you work.

Has anyone gotten their detail spray yet? if so what does it smell like?  My order still hasn't been fulfilled so I don't know that I can wait to get mine lol, thanks! 

Received my order yesterday.  Fruit snack, fruit cologne are as good as a description as any.  To me, the smell is not strong which is nice.

I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to snag a bottle - they sold out in about 24 hours after launching! Pretty fast considering we had 2500 available!

Quick question... Does the 2500 include both the silver and the gold label?

I still think it is closer to Red than Orange, but the important thing is that it looks great.

Well, when you take the first part of the color name into account, it is pretty accurate.  While I don't like the peppers (too hot), I do like the color.

Just a thought, but you can find/see a ton of ways people have been organizing their collections in this link...

Devon - Just a heads up.. you are going to get flagged by the forum police.  No selling of Adam's chemicals (even though you not selling, but buying) Good luck on your hunt.  I know that particular set was very popular.

I've used 303 also. Still have most of a gallon left. VRT 50/50 is my preference.

Same for me... used 303 until I found that I really liked the results of diluted VRT.

Every vehicle brings new water and new soap.  I foam the vehicles, so there isn't much soap in the bucket to begin with.

+ 1 on this approach.  I clean out the buckets as well prior to refilling with clean water and fresh soap.  It does use more water but the runoff just ends up running into a couple of tree beds at the end of the driveway which generally have to be watered anyway, so I don't see it being wasteful

I'm a VRT guy for my tonneau cover as well but use it in a diluted form so I can spray it on and wipe off the excess.  Use about 30% product to 70% distilled water in a 16oz bottle.  You probably can get away with less VRT and more water, but I like the results I get so I've just stuck with it.

Oh... I'm in too.

This heats my 1300 square foot detached, decently insulated garage pretty well.  https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dyna-Glo-50K-80K-BTU-LP-Convection-Heater-RMC-LPC80DG/202895381

 

I just moved to this from a kerosene torpedo heater, less smell, propane is cheaper than kerosene, and more BTUs.  I spend a pretty good amount of time in the garage but I can't afford to do a true wall mount propane system right now.  This is pretty good deal for $100 plus whatever a tank will cost you.

This is what I use as well for my 2 car garage.  While a permanent system with a thermostat would be nice, this does fit my needs.

Here is an oldie but goodie.  This is when I started using APC for the pads... still miss those Shine Doc series.  The Watercooler Wednesday's look to be fulfilling the void left by Shine Doc but I still really liked that original series.  Taught me a ton.

For me personally, I'm not a fan of the Eco Wheel Cleaner.  I'm all for being as Eco friendly as I can with the products I use, but in the end I just like the results of the original that much better.  (just for perspective, my daily driver wheels are not coated nor maintained very often between washes which average between 10-14 days)

For me, the original APC is just better in every way when compared to the Eco and others that are much cheaper.  No scientific reasons, I just like the results.  I love the Eco for general cleaning and use it around the house all the time.  For heavy cleaning of pads, heavy stains, etc. I just love the original APC (even compared to 'Heavy Degreaser' cleaners from other brands.)  I have fortunately had a supply to last me awhile but that did not stop me from ordering a half dozen bottles. 

Here are my main uses:

Cleaning All Polishing Pads / Applicators (no matter the polish and/or product)

Cleaning heavy stained towels (soaking them) before washing (use microfiber cleaner in washing machine as well)

I never get a chance to eat them. My wife nabs them as soon as I open the box.  

Same here.  Wife has been disappointed with my last two packages (no mints) so I bought the package of mints off Amazon and have them available for those times where they don't come from Adam's.  As long as she gets her mints, she's never made any comments on my orders (size or frequency) so I see this as cheap insurance ensuring that continues.

Anyone else feel like this is getting ridiculous?  Saw this on eBay this morning.

Now, we have all see those crazy 'buy it now' prices, but this one actually has bids driving the price.

Nice.  Congrats on the new car.  I agree with you... after seeing your pics, those on the internet do not do this color justice. 

I'm with you Nick.  Considering all the care and time I take filling my 16 oz bottles from the gallons, these pics always make me cringe.  (and that doesn't even address the $$$ aspect of seeing these products wasted).

I guess you have to be in 'marketing' to see the value of this type of pic.  Me, I just think of all the waste and how I would have buckets under that table collecting the stuff so it could be used.

I use a pumice stone if it is real bad.I also have a tool that looks like a comb with several rows of rubber fingers.

+1 - I use the exact same products.  Both work well.

300 a month?! I've been driving 400 a week for 6 years now, needless to say, I have to clean my windows a lot.  I've been loving the Glass Boost lately.

Well, to be honest... I drive a lot more than 300 miles a month but I was just using that number based on the "sealant recommendations" I've seen posted.  I agree with you though.. that boost is awesome.

Awesome. How often do you apply glass sealant? Thanks for the advice!

As others have mentioned, the sealant should last about 3 months but since this is my daily driver and I hit the 300 miles within a month, I do this monthly.  It's probably overkill but clean windows is just one of my pet-peeves so I don't mind the extra work.  U should see how often I'm cleaning my windows in the middle of the winter.  LOL

One note about the sealant (and this is mentioned by others) is that a little does in fact go a long way.  Even if you feel you are not getting full coverage with such little product...  you are... just have a little faith.  (personally, I had to force myself to do this   )

1. I did the exact same thing on my 2002 Camry that my daughter drives..  This what I used/did.

Aerosol Glass Cleaner - really cleans the glass well

Claybar the glass - just to make sure (note:  used the glass cleaner again to remove any residue)

Glass Sealant

Brilliant Glaze - for the interior.

have been using glass boost for the last month and it is still awesome

if I could like my own posts I would!
