I've got a Torq 10fx with a combination of Adams and chemical guys pads and chemical guys compounds available. All of it is like new, 2 backers and the horizontal handle are there. 

I'm looking for $200 and I can ship everything for about $20 I think. 

Is this a wax with ceramic IN it? 

Or is this a wax specifically for ceramic coated vehicles?

Nevermind, I went back and actually read the description, which answered both my questions.

You could always take a bunch out of the container and put some in a Ziplock bag or small tupperware or LocknLock container to keep in the car.  And don't forget to condition any surfaces (especially leather) after you've used them.  

Yeah I could, but that defeats me placing another Adams order.... 

leather conditioner wipes! Great idea!

yep, I'm in too!

So with my last order I got two containers of interior cleaning wipes to keep in both our vehicles to do a daily touch up and clean up after the kids. The wipes themselves are excellent, great cleaning ability and the cleaner actually foams up a bit to lift dirt and grime so they are a great product. The container is too big. It doesn't fit anywhere in our 4Runner or my Corolla. 

I'd love to see the same product in a container the size of a tall boy or regular soda can so it'd fit in the door cup holders. 

Cheers!

I wasn't too fond of the detail spray, does the interior detailer smell the same? 

The air fresheners are great though, they just don't last long. 

I have used the Brilliant Glaze on my inside windows with good results. Can it be used on the outside windows/windshield ?

Thanks

I use BG on anything shiny! 

It's also great on window trim to get it nice and even looking

In and out spray works great for off-road tires!

Thank you!

No, but I can guess it may be become a somewhat pricey endeavor.

 

For blocky, off road tires, here's a great video from the Shine Doc on a process using TS. I'm pretty sure you could do much the same with VRT...

hmm... I suppose it could, I saw that video and the process seemed a bit involved... I'll try it though

This thread is just what I was looking for!

Added my vote above....I'm all in on the VRT. The results and ease of use just far exceeds everything else I've tried. Even the dilution ideas that are posted in another thread are extremely useful for the various surfaces on my truck.

(Copied from another post)

Dilution Ratios: Super VRT

1:1 – spray-on, low gloss tire dressing or bedliner dressing

2:1 – spray-on detailer for vinyl soft tops, tonneau covers

3:1 - quick detail spray dressing for protecting matte vinyl wraps

This is great!

Has anyone used in n out spray on tires? I’m thinking specifically for tires with blocky sidewalks like the BFG AT KO2. I used to use an off the shelf tire foam, and it was actually great, I’d be interested to see what in n out spray would be like

Welcome aboard Rob, good lookin truck!

Welcome aboard! 

Welcome! 

Give APC and the microfiber sponge a try, clay has worked well for me. 

A weekly maintenance wash is also imperative to keep it from getting too dirty. 

I used Brilliant Glaze, then paint sealant, and then American and bugs and dropping and everything else just falls off the car at this point. 

Welcome! 

that's a gorgeous car! 

We used to offer Brilliant Glaze in gallon size a few years back, but it sold poorly so it was discontinued in that size option. I do apologize for the inconvenience.

 

I brought up discussion for Odor Neutralizer, Strip Wash, and Ceramic Boost gallons again earlier this afternoon with the team. I can't promise anything, but I am making them aware that there is some demand for these items.

No worries at all! I just ordered a second bottle to use on the cars I deliver at work, I just Love the stuff.

dosent give me enough time to drive out on such short notice so hopefully I’ll get to go soon.

That's a trek! 

If you want to split gas let me know if the next one gets announced in time. 

does anyone else want a gallon of Brilliant Glaze? I use that stuff ALL the time, and love the smell. 

How long it last depends on your environment and how often you use windshield washer fluid.

It’s absoluteky worth it! Works incredibly well. I love the glass boost too, works great to clean the windows while boosting your sealant as well. I use glass boost alone if the windshield wasn’t too dirty to begin with

Caddy would be sweet for me too if my driveway wasn’t an incline lol.

I'm pretty sure they have locking casters on those. 

I agree, i have a spray from another company, i have used it but never really put it to the "test"

 

I would buy Adam's if it were available

 

It is also something that dealerships offer for $600, but I paid $15 for

Some don't charge anything for the application and just sell a warranty....

I just got the Orange sidekick and it works great for blowing out dust from the interior. 

Interior detailer or the interior cleaner dusted onto a towel also works well. 

Detail spray for nav/touch screens 

I concur with all the above, any machine will do, it’s all about how you handle the scandal with what you have. Unless you have that chemical guys junk lol, I’m guessing you do but that’s ok. We all have to learn some how.

 

 

Tyler, do you work this Thursday? I have some business to take care of in San Diego, I could head down there early show you a thing or two if your interested? Let me know if your interested and we can work something out.

I actually have thursday off, that'd be awesome! 

Thanks for all the responses so far. 

I've watched  Adams videos, as well as some others and did my best to follow the advice in them. 

The vehicle is a 2017 Toyota 4Runner in black, it's metallic black, and has the unfortunately typical swirls and scratches from horrific car lot washings 

on two different occasions I have attempted to correct the paint, working a 2ish x 2ish square on the hood netted shiny paint with scratches in it still. 

So I think I'll grab Adams pads and polishes and give that a shot next time around. 

I just recently got into detailing my own vehicles. Before it was mostly drive through car washes or bucket wash with stuff from Oreillys.

 And now I want to be able to get paint perfect and keep it that way. 

Unfortunately I went to another supplier to get the machine and and polishes/compound, this was before I discovered how good Adam's stuff is. 

The machine is a Torq 10FX and there are about a billion combinations of pad/polish/compound that you can use. 

So my question is which is more important, the machine I'm using or the pad/polish combo? 

I'm not getting anywhere near the results that I want so I'm going to make a change, just wondering if I need to swap out the machine as well. 

If you are ever in Orange County ca stop by and let me knoe I’ll hook you up for free and fix them or shrink them up depending how bad they are.

 

 

Thanks! 

I really appreciate it! I want to learn how to take care of them myself, it's a black car with factory installed swirls  so I want to get it perfect and then maintain it for its life.
