And here's a couple good ones for winter maintenance washes:
 

 

Good video for winter prep:
 

Just filled it out. I think my only suggestion is to try and not give the same exact stuff to everyone. It makes the mystery box boring. It would also be pretty cool if you guys sold sample sizes like the 2oz bottles you guys have. I think thatll be more helpful for anyone starting out. 

Did my part and completed a survey, would like to add that I think the inclusion of the towels applicators or what have you was a great idea, so that if you get a product you can get right to trying it. One other thing, is that New products are a great addition to boxes, certainly something that would make me go after one. IE if the new interior detailer was released and a mystery box came out shortly after, if it said will include as part of the total the NEW interior detailer (insert whatever new product here) I would have a higher likelihood to buy one. To me it makes a great way to get the new product in peoples hands to rave about. Yes I think the random person here might not like the idea but to me it makes for a nice way to get a new product which I probably would add to my order anyways. 

I really like when shipping goes with a theme, like wheels/tires, or interior, or basic wash, etc. It seems like there was more thought put into those.

Survey submitted. Since there's so much chatter about shipping costs, maybe you guys can add a 1 time "free shipping code on a future order" or $10 gift card (to cover shipping) as something that The Mystery Casino might include in some mystery boxes/ buckets.

Thanks mc2hill & Chonke
 
No it's a 2017 C7

I wish I would have thought to take a "before" picture, but the Leather & Interior foam cleaner followed by application of Leather Conditioner did wonders for my DH (daily handbag ). 
 
I was surprised at the amount of dirt that was removed (especially from the handle area) - as the bag appeared to be pretty clean just by looking at it - and the conditioner smoothed away several scuff marks.  Using the red premium interior dressing applicator made it very easy to evenly apply the conditioner into folds, under straps & around the hardware. Very happy to have another practical use for these products! 

Yes, thank you for the review - I was wondering how the new towels performed.  I think I might have to place another order during this current sale and get a few!

Ive used it on my sofa too, and also on my leather boots. I also used it on my leather motorcycle jacket when I still had one a while back. Really good stuff. 

I have used both on leather sofa that the dog likes to sleep on and have had great results, better than the stuff the furniture store sold me.

Personally, I spray rinse first in order to knock off all of the debris & dirt that is easily removed with just the force of the water....then I hit the remaining bug splatter & dried-on stuff with Waterless.  While the Waterless is working its magic, I start washing.  By the time I get to the pretreated areas (which usually tend to be the lower parts of the car), the splatter & debris wipe off easily.  If there's a particularly stubborn spot, I just spray it with a little more Waterless and try again in a couple minutes. 
 
I love Waterless for spot removal of things like bird bombs.  I keep a bottle in my car at all times just for that purpose.  For some reason, the birds that fly over the parking lot at work seem to be very active in that regard. 

Had some time this morning to wash my car with Adam’s new Wash & Wax for a second time… I tried it two weeks ago, and I felt it just did OK. The water didn’t bead as well as I had hoped, and I thought the shine was a bit lackluster. But! I’ve learned never to review something after just one use.

I didn’t put any last stage protection on after last wash or this one, and look at this killer shine! I normally have to put Brilliant Glaze on to get that kind of reflection! And the water beaded off like crazy this time. When I did the pooling rinse, the car was almost bone dry when I was done. Just a few minutes with the leaf blower, and one waffle weave towel was is needed.

As per usual, Adams doesn’t let me down!

To me, having dirty glass is a huge pet peeve. I want the glass I'm looking through to be as invisible as humanly possible. This is why I own every glass cleaning product Adams offers. I'm constantly looking for the most effective and efficient way of cleaning glass and keeping it clean. (this is a relatively long review. If you're looking for a TL;DR, jump to the bottom).
 
Enter the tough and microsilk glass towels. When these were released, I was hesitant. My current approach works rather well. I clean heavy dirt with the aerosol glass cleaner and fuzzy side of a green towel. I use the smoother side of the green towel to remove as many streaks as possible. If I'm applying the glass sealant I follow the process on the bottle. If not, I follow the heavy dirt cleaning by wiping the glass as clean as possible with the blue "perfect glass" cleaning towel. If I'm cleaning only mildly dirty glass I use the glass cleaner and the same two towel approach. However I was still curious about the new towels so I snagged a couple of each type.
 
The first towel I used was the microsilk towel. As soon as I held it for the first time, I was immediately reminded of the tiny Oakley cases that come with their sunglasses/glasses. This made me realize these towels were going to be used on interior glass only. Which wasn't a problem. In fact, the inside windshield of my Corvette had a haze on it which was a perfect test for these towels. I quickly went outside and began to clean the interior glass without any other products other than the towel. I was impressed at how easily it cleaned the glass. All the haze came off quickly. The towel slid over the glass nice and easily without grabbing (like those blue "perfect glass" towels). It's now stored nice and neatly in the center console of the car, ready for use when ever I need it.
 
Now for the tough glass towel. I wasn't smart and didn't read up on these towels so I didn't fully understand the difference between them and the green towels Adams sells. Usually that's not a good idea (always do your research before spending money), however I was very pleasantly surprised with these. When I opened the package I realized these were VERY different from any other towel. They are much stiffer. Reminds me of those pads you put under the dish drying rack in your kitchen. It's not super thick, but it definitely is thicker than a standard towel. This gives the towel not only great absorbent properties, but also cleaning properties. When I use the green towel, it gets saturated quickly. I find myself constantly folding and re-folding so as to not leave streaks. With the new tough glass towel I didn't have to do that once. In fact, I covered the outside of the windshield in the standard glass cleaner, had the tough glass towel folded into fourths, and scrubbed away. It cleaned like no other with less effort! In fact, all corners of the glass, side windows especially, were easy to clean given how stiff this towel is. I could get the corner of the towel into tight spots and remove any dirt, smears, or smudges. Once I was done cleaning, I flipped the towel over to the dry side (which was bone dry as the other side trapped all the glass cleaner) and made sure no streaks were left. There was no need to follow it up with a different towel. I proceeded to clean all the other windows on the corvette with one side of the towel. I even used less glass cleaner! I also was able to use the one towel for the entire process and not leave a single streak. This towel is now an absolute staple in my detailing arsenal. 100% would recommend to anyone.
 
 
TL;DR:
Microsilk towel is awesome for interior glass. Effortlessly glides over glass and is very efficient.
 
The tough glass towel is an incredible one stop product for all exterior glass. Gets heavy dirt off without getting saturated, and doesn't leave any streaks. Allowed me to use less cleaning product.

Great example of their customer service...happy it worked out for you! But I was wondering what happened to my order. It had, uhh, what was in the box you got. Yeah, all that stuff. I'll send you my address.

Sunny day underside cleaning.

After applying Adam's Ceramic Paint Coating to my car, the water beads sparkle like glass beads because of all the light they absorb.
 

Lights, camera, REFLECTION!

I tried to post it in the reply, seemed like it uploaded but then I didn't see it. ????

I saw the video of Adam saying that ceramic boost can be used on non coated cars. So I have a few questions.
 
1. How often can you use Ceramic Boost?
2. If I do use Boost can I still use H20 Guard and Gloss?
3. Can I use Detail spray?
 
I'm not fully committed to ceramic coatings yet, but I'm still looking for some of the benefits that Ceramic Boost may offer. 
 
Or do I just stick to the traditional Wash, Polish, Wax, Guard and Gloss, Detail spray routine?
 
Any help would be appreciated!! There's so many options just trying to find out what the best one is for my paint and ease of use.
