    Back in 04 maybe, Adam used to rent a house across from Carlisle fairgrounds .  He had the majority of the upstairs filled with Adam's products, but the basement was packed wall to wall with bicycles and parts. He should get together with Mike from American Pickers!

    The Man himself, Adam, started his career detailing bicycles in the neighborhood.  As such, he has an affinity for bicycles and keeps a few "hanging around" at HQ.  It goes to show he has not forgotten where he came from.

    ZMAN024 got a reaction from shane@detailedreflections in Suede seats   
    If the areas are heavily soiled, you'll want to spray some Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner on a MF towel and wipe the surface. Don't spray directly on the suede. Follow that up with a clean MF towel to remove the dirt. Be careful not to saturate the suede.  Use light sprays on the MF towel and go over the heavily soiled areas as necessary until you're satisfied. Follow up with a pass with the Cockpit Brush to groom the pile and you're good to go.  If you want to maintain the suede and it's not dirty, you can get away with just using the Cockpit Brush to gently remove any surface lint, etc and groom the pile.  If you search the Library, there is a video on the subject.

    Yeah they’re the snake oil of the car care business. I’m just surprised some idiot hasn’t tried it at home and burned their car to ground.

    ZMAN024 reacted to Nickfire20 in Pretty cool scent/fragrance find...you can thank me later?   
    Every few months the wife and I venture to Bath and Body works and pick up a dozen or two of their wallflower scents.  Today was no different, until we had to find the last few to equal 21pieces(for the sale, of course).  I came across the scent “Sun Washed Citrus”  I took a wif...thought about it, and said to myself immediately, I know this scent,  then I was like this is an Adam’s scent.  I thought some more and realized it was very close to WATERLESS WASH!  My wife enjoyed the scent, so we grabbed 4.  When we got home I pulled out my bottle and the wallflower and asked her opinion, and she agreed, they are very similar.  She also mentioned it was one of her favorites!  (I wonder if I just talked her into washing her car ?).
     
    Either way, I know many of us love the WW scent, so if smelly stuff inside your home is your thing, go grab some,  could even throw one in the garage!  ??
     
    ENJOY!

    We have a trunk deck from a corvette a client gave us to polish out and play with. Also a spoiler from a Volvo S60. I need to polish out the trunk deck and apply different coatings so people can see the difference. Then film over part of it so that can be visualized as well.

    Thanks for jumping in here Emery! Indeed it has been a little crazy for Emery, Tyler, and myself to keep up with things. I was out supporting Hot August Nights two weeks ago, and now I'm at Corvettes at Carlisle (we just finished dinner for the evening), so that puts even more strain on an already understaffed team. 
     
    I am very sorry for the inconvenience if anyone has been trying to get through to us. I will be back in the office Monday morning and will help to alleviate some of the phone frustrations. Please bear with us during these growing pains, and let us know how we can help.
     
    Respectfully,

    ZMAN024 reacted to Black Bowtie in Cleaning a Yeti using Adam’s products?? ?   
    Yeti was supposedly for the outdoors person hunter/fisherman, I will be damned If I will give any money to a company that has a knee jerk reaction to the anti gun liberals. Dicks Sporting goods and REI are two others. I was a member of REI for over 40 years and will no longer step in their doors or buy for them online. Plus YETI was made here in Iowa and closed the plant. Now I think everything is made in China or the Philippines.

    ZMAN024 reacted to shane@detailedreflections in Carpet shampoo: what are you using?   
    Carpet care...a million ways to do the same job. Carpet and upholstery cleaner work well, as does APC on some stubborn stuff. 
     
    As for equipment, what’s your budget?  We use a shop vac, MyTee hot water extractor and a vapor chief steamer. We also use a tornador tool, air compressor and master blaster revolution and/or sidekick.  
     
    One variable is “what’s clean to you?” At a clinic we hosted (and @pirahnah3 and @ZMAN024 can attest) we took a clients garage queen car that was “clean” and extracted his carpets. The water that came out of the extractor looked like coffee. Sometimes surface clean isn’t “clean” and the equipment doesn’t lie. We can get the majority of things out with a combination of our tools and the right chemicals. The tools are the far larger and more expensive side of that equation though.
