 I've only done one trade so far and I probably won't do anymore. The trade went fine no problems. 

 

 The problem is the shipping costs. Add up the cost of the product and shipping and it just isn't worth it. 

Agreed! I all for starting a locals trading group in Denver. Then we could just trade before Cars and Coffee or whenever works.

There's a document on the forums that does a great job at breaking everything out on when and how to use majority of the Adam's line up. No pictures and doesn't mention when to not use things. I'm sure it could be updated with ceramic info and other added products through the years. Information like not using H2O G&G on a ceramic treatment or not using APC on carpeted floors mats, could be really helpful. 

Like the OP stated, the info is out there, just not all collected in its entirety.

Great deal and how I jumped into the Adam's world (except it only had 10% off). As usual, the Undercarriage Spray didn't make the cut. 

Red car shampoo is a HOT commodity in this forum group.

Shake the detail spray if you see a layer of white settled to the bottom. Here's a link detailing all storage practices and cautions for specific products.

That is the previous logo.

From a quick search, around 2015 the new circle 'A' was introduced and 2016 was the start of it going on products. I'm no "logo historian" so don't take my word as fact.

What products are they?  I'd imagine that they could have a different recommended shelf life and some might have even got the new circle 'A' logo sooner or later (new products, label reserves in the warehouse, etc).

Welcome,  6miles!?  I’m jealous,  it’s my understanding that you can stop in and pick up your MB also.  

 

Welcome and enjoy!

I've been beaten by 2 miles. You can pick up mystery boxes/buckets from them, I did it at their last location.

Welcome from a fellow Coloradoan/Denverite. Now I have someone close by to trade extra MB products with.

I was hoping the new Eco-Wheel Cleaner would be a good solution to this problem. Currently, I only use WC and LPS on wheels before I mount the winter/summer wheels and just use the car shampoo and brushes in my normal wash routine. I'll brake down and use WC late into the summer if the brake dust isn't playing nice, but by then the salts have washed away and the wheels are about to be stored. Switching from stock Brembo pads to Project Mu also cut down on some dust and dust adhesion.

Nice half-cart in the background, Rich. Seems like a great idea for a wheel and tire cart.

I'd say the tin looks to be a paste version of Ceramic Boost.  Would be easier to control during application and completely avoid "overspray" on glass, which is very difficult to remove. 

Thanks for the tip. Most Adams products I don’t worry about getting on glass

Wipes are live!

That's an 18qt polycarbonate bucket; used in food service. They are pretty firm, but do hold up to abuse. They can scratch from abrasive cleaning pads, and can crack, but it would take a solid blow to do so.

For practical use, if you had it on a detail cart or bucket caddy (not sure if it fits), it would do fine. You might get hazing at the grit guard level, but it should be fine for the rest. It would let you see below the foam layer, but I don't think you'll see much with adequate shampoo in the bucket.

I’m also waiting for the Adam’s APP.  Videos included there, shopping, purchasing, tracking.   Also could set up subscriptions with sign up incentives, ie. free shipping or 20% off, etc

Just what everyone on the forums "needs," another avenue to buy Adam's products. We might have a problem....

I heard it was also much larger than the normal grey borderless towel

It would be 16"x24" if it is bigger. Normal is 16"x16".

 I nice roasted coffee bean scent. What would really be awesome is H2O G&G with coffee scent. Id buy numerous gallons of that.

We are getting into a dangerous territory, baseline products with no scent (minimal) and add a few drops of concentrated scent to said product.

Don't like the banana runt smell in tire shine; no problem. Want grape soda or coconut or any smell of detail spray; we got you!

Who's going to be the first one to mix it with Pumpkin Spice DS?? 

Nice find!

Just when I needed two more towels they went out of control with the price, so hopefully they go on the daily special soon!

The single towel was the daily special over month ago and the 2-pack was the daily special 7-10 days ago. I've been thinking about getting a second (and third) of these but can't justify it when I only have one car to maintain.

Welcome from a fellow Denverite.

The problem with doing this kind of thing to your car is that you realize how bad you need a repaint. Couldn’t even see the rock chips before I really cleaned everythi

Colorado roads chew into your front bumper, so I know the feeling of wanting to get the car repainted.

Looks good though. 

Seems the bottles are in upside-down in the product picture. Carry the case from the handle and you better pray the tops don't leak. 

Attached is a file (not mine) with almost all the answers and watching the video series are really helpful at the order of the detailing process. 

Heres where I got the file: http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/30463-detailing-guide-pdf-file/

With these options you need to reapply a protective coating of wax afterwards...correct?

You should reapply wax or sealant to the area if you use the Tire&Rubber or the All-Purpose or the other tar removal products. I'd assume you'd be fine after using Rinseless though, but a small area should be quick to knock out either way.

I just add them (the basic 'A' sticker in shipments) to generic and non-Adam's products. Plastic tote for towels, top of gamma lid, bag holding extra caps and sprayers, [A]other's branded products, coffee thermos, garage deep freezer....stickered...oops. 

Nice collection Wyatt.

Finally got around to doing a "full" detail with exclusively Adam's Products. No polishing as this is the winter detail, but extremely happy with the results and ease of products.
