Greg from GA

Hi, welcome.  I have spent time in cars in India from New Delhi and also in Pune and Mumbai.  You are a brave soul for bringing a 2017 into that mix!  Something that I learned being driven around there that the US people on this forum will find interesting (I hope I get this right - please correct me if it is misleading!).  There is no concept of liability insurance.  Everyone has to have insurance but your insurance is for you (what we call comprehensive here).  So WHEN (not IF based on my driving experiences there) you get in a little fender bender - your insurance is for your damage, the other driver for his or her vehicle.  I asked about pedestrians and got a blank stare...

Intersections in India are like rivers of flotsam and jetsam.  The smaller pieces float to the front while you wait to proceed.  trucks in the back, then cars, then tuk tuks, then motorcycles, then scooters then bicycles.   It's like every intersection in an artery having a coronary!  I loved seeing all the scooters so much when I visited about ten years ago that I got a Vespa here at home.  Bajaj there, Vespa here - kind of...

And Greg stop hiding, but I concur!

Not hiding - been traveling.  Back now.  Luckily weathered Irma fine.  It fell apart before the heavy winds had a chance to hit Atlanta area TOO bad.  Atlanta does not do wind well at all.

Damn that H20 G&G continues to impress me.  Here is a friends Q5 that lives outside.  It is a lease and he treats it as such.  I detailed it a few months ago - that's probably the last time it was touched.  This weekend we detailed the interior and exterior and ended with a wet car and H20 G&G.  Amazing how much life it breathed into this paint.

Supposedly it has begun here but I cannot tell yet 

I made a couple of camera obscuras for a 96% viewing in Marietta, GA

The Adams Backpack Adventures part 2 - Italy

The backpack saw some rare and fun cars. I'll attach some pics on this thread.

Hey Greg, where have you've been hiding I was going to message you last night and poof you appear. I saw the Nissan Maurano video it came out great!

 

 

Had some travel recently here as summer wraps up: three weeks ago NYC for some shows, two weeks ago Florida for work and one week ago I tagged along with the wife on a business trip to Italy (first time for me).  

Funny thing about the Murano - took me two days later to see it in the sun.  The damn thing is metallic!  News to me...

Traveling in style with my new Adams backpack

I see e fishing rod grip idea. Similarly tennis racket grip tape would be easy and my be more available.

What's MEKA stand for?

Mobile Exo-Force of the Korean Army It's from the game Overwatch which is what that vinyl symbol is. It's my daughters car and that is what she named it being Korean and all ( the car, not my daughter).

I am superstitious about using anything on my motorcycle tires but I also believe a little bell keeps gremlins away.

So I am trying to dial back in the self promotion of my videos on the forum here but this video was has some nice Adam's product shots and it is short.

Tell me how you distinguish between the VRT and the in and out.  Reason I ask is that I have used the VRT for some time and it works for me on the engine bay.  I even dilute VRT in a spray bottle for the non pad application surfaces.  Does in and out fit in there or am I already doing that with my spray VRT?

Greg, thank you for another great video, your little quirks keep me wanting more. I did notice you made a motorcycle wash video that I asked about, thank you for that. Keep more coming you've got my votes.

Yep I just did that last night.  Wanted to test on the H20 G&G.  DAMN that stuff SHINES!

 

 

 

 

My favorite product would probably be H20 guard and gloss too. 

I've meaning to ask this question for a while and this reminded me.  I got H20 G&G in a mystery bucket.  I used it and I don't get where it 'plugs in'  If my car is liquid paint sealed and waxed and detail sprayed after a wash does G&G sit on top of that or is it designed to replace the wax step and detail spray step.  I am just confused where it fits in and if it is intended to be a replacement or enhancement of some other layers.

The chair is old.  It's a Craftsman, but I've seen similar everywhere.  It's like this one.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Heavy-Duty-Shop-Garage-Rolling-Padded-Mechanics-Creeper-Seat-Stool-w-Tool-Tray/162541389020

My PDR guy has one that he loves - I am going to have to ask him where he got it when I see him next.  It sits lower and has a bigger 'butt' in it.

looks great - love the creeper chair, what is it?  My old knees like it a lot...

Thanks!  And they cleaned up the edges before it was painted.  I tested a few bottles out put pushing them against the edge and it seems to be fine.  

 

Thanks!  It's hard to tell in the picture, but the plate has sides to it that is the same depth as the cart's tray.  

 

Thanks!  

If you wanted to 'plus it' you could put a thin little rubber trim piece around the openings that hopefully did not impact the inside diameter too much.  Something like: http://amzn.to/2th5PQ0- but again damn nice...  Maybe you could even get the trim in red?

damn thats nice!  How do you keep the top plate elevated?

You Rock Greg! Really enjoying all of your videos, and this is a great hack!

 

We used to sell similar hand-soap style red pump tops for our bottles, but we did discontinue them after we found that they had too many issues with clogging, dripping, and/or failing after several uses with some of our chemicals. 

 

I'll be interested to see how the Starbucks pumps hold up over time. Keep us updated!

Update at about a month into it - no clogging so I am going to stick with this.

I 'get by' with NOT vacuuming every time on my cars and use my Master Blaster Revolution to blow out enough dirt/grass/etc to be happy with the result.  I've already got the blower out to dry the car and jambs so it's just part of that.  I do need to vacuum every once in a while, but with this approach thats one less thing to drag out on a quick maintenance wash.
