Now that is living life on the edge!!

I'm not sure which bothered me more, the gasoline soaked rag on the paint or the cigarette being near the rag 

Welcome to the addiction Michael.      Soon you'll have a garage full of products.......or a living room full like some of us. 

Watched as a couple "washed" their car with the gas station windshield wands. Snickered, then teared up a little. I really need to start carrying Adam's paraphernalia to hand out in these dire circumstances. 

On the way home from work, drove by my neighbor who was wiping down his GMC pick-up with a gasoline soaked rag while smoking a cigarette. 

Welcome to the forum Jason.   .  You'll find a lot of great advice here from a vast number of helpful people.

But... I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys 'R' Us kid.

 

The only thing that separates men from boys is the price of their toys !!

I'd definitely be in line for a free T-shirt with a $100 purchase since I typically spend that much each and every time.

Hi Adam,

In my opinion you don't need to use Wash and Wax each time you wash especially if you are using Detail Spray or Guard and Gloss as your drying aid.  Both products add a layer of protection as well as shine.  The Detail Spray has a trace of wax in it and the Guard and Gloss leaves a hydrophobic layer that last a few weeks or so.  I would recommend using the Car Shampoo on a weekly basis and go with the Wash and Wax as a monthly follow up.  

Can't help with the glass cleaner as I've never used the aerosol version.  I assume it's the same product only it uses aerosol as a propellant rather than the trigger sprayer. 

Definitely use the softer side of the Great White Drying Towel.  As a rule of thumb, softer is always better to minimize potential for scratches.

Can't help with the Wash Mitt vs Wash Pad.  I don't have the Wash Pad.  I'm sure someone else will have an answer for you. 

Welcome Keith 

Hey everyone!

 

Long time lurker (ok a few months since the addiction took hold) first time poster. Love the products and I have been humbled by the knowledge brought in their application by all of you and the Adams staff. Excited to check in and say hello.

 

I have learned so much about caring for my abusive relationship here (black paint).

 

Hello, my name is Jason, and I am a shine addict!

Welcome Jason.  The first step is admitting you have a problem.   

Now that you've gotten that out of the way you can spend lots of money like the rest of us 

Mystery Buckets are available right now.  They're a great step towards the cure to your shine addition. Mine arrives on Friday.

Too much money for an initial investment, but wait a year and you will own twice as much as that. 

Agreed that it's a sizable initial investment, but you will definitely spend more than that over the course of a few months time.  Once you get hooked on shine, you always want more. 

Welcome to the forum Josh.  You'll find the package deals are the best bang for your buck.  

Welcome to the forum Lee.  Good luck with the new ride. 

Hi Kaisen and welcome to the group.  You chose wisely for your first purchase.  You're gonna love the foam cannon and the sidekick.  I used both of mine today as part of my weekly wash routine.

Welcome to the forum Anthony 

Welcome to the forum Anthony. 

Shamwow.........cause the commercial said it worked better than a towel.

Welcome to the insanity Adam .   .  

The first step is admitting you have problem.    

The second step is finding others with bigger problems so you don't feel so bad about it.    

Well..........you definitely came to the right place. 

Hi Bob.  Welcome back.

Hi Oz! Please tell your son congrats on the new Jeep! I've used Ceramic Boost on several different types of textured plastic, vinyl, and paint so far, and it has worked awesome in every application. Our friend Kerwin from Aloha Detailing even used Ceramic Boost on the huge Adam's A logo on our canopy tent for our show display when we were up at Barrett-Jackson in Connecticut a few days ago to bring some color and protection back into the logo, since it was beginning to fade a bit.

 

It's currently my favorite product of ours. Just remember to use it sparingly for easiest application and removal. A few light mists per panel is plenty!

Thanks Dan.  I appreciate your input.  I guess I'll need to place an order ASAP so we can get the new ride off to a good start.

Not sure which type you’re talking about, do you have a picture?

No pictures yet.  I'll post some tomorrow.

My son bought a beautiful 2010 Jeep Rubicon this past weekend.  I was wondering what the best Adams product would be to protect the fiberglass hard top once I've had a chance to thoroughly clean it.  I was thinking about using the new Ceramic Boost, but I'm not sure.  Since the top has got a texture to it, I'm reaching out to the group for advice.    

Welcome to the insanity Trevor !  I love the color.  Adam's products will certainly make that paint pop.

So I purchased,

 

Adam's Great White Microfiber Drying Towel

Adam's Short Wheel Brush

Adam's 10" Wash Pad 3 Pack

2 - Adam's 5 Gallon Detailing Bucket w/grit guard

Adam's Car Wash Shampoo Gallon

Adam's NEW Standard Foam Gun (32oz)

Adam's Borderless Grey Edgeless Towel X2

Adam's Leather & Interior Cleaner 16oz

Adam's Wheel Cleaner 16oz 1 x

Adam's Glass Cleaner 16oz 1 x

Adam's Green Microfiber Glass Cleaning Towel (2 Pack)

Adam's Cockpit Brush  

Sounds like I need to get Sealant, Clay, Detail Spray, More towels and wax?   I will be washing it this weekend but I will have to clay it next weekend or the following (depending when I purchase).  

Wash->Clay->Seal-> Dry with detail Spray or Wax then dry with detail?  

Thanks for the info    

Welcome to the forum Roger.  Wow' that's quite a shopping list.  Glad to see you weren't afraid to dive right in. It must have been like Christmas morning when all of those goodies arrived  .  Good luck with the new car.  The Adam's line will definitely help keep that Grabber Blue paint in tip top shape.

Thanks Greg. Hopefully your sister cooked the burgers for you after all of that  .

Nice job Greg.   If you don't mind, please tell us what steps you took to get those awesome results.
