With the Special Edition Sprays, the trade forum got out of hand.  I had asked people about things, and all they want is special detail spray.  They have 2 bottles of shampoo and brilliant glaze, but they want 4 special edition detail spray.  So I traded 15 of mine, for a mini swirl killer, so roughly 150$ or $10 a Bottle and I paid Freight just so I didn't have to deal with them anymore.  I made a topic about having a positive or negative post about doing deals with people, to hopefully weed out the people that do bad trades.  

I’m very new to the forum. I have made a few trades and I have a few in progress and I feel pretty good about them. Like someone was saying earlier both parties have to agree. And if you feel it’s fair then go for it. If not just say no. 

Welcome Mike! Fellow Floridian here... Im a few hours north of you, in Daytona Beach. Welcome to the forum... you definetely picked the right place, as everyone here is happy to help! Have you been to Cars and Coffee in Palm Beach yet? Adam's is a sponsor, so they are there in full force every month! Great place to see a bunch of cool cars and meet the Adam's guys at the same time!

SWEET! 

The blue Jeep is actually more trail Jeep.  I need a SK to hide some battle scars

Welcome to the forum! Nice jeeps!

First off Welcome!
I was at BJ, it could have been me...…..everyone including myself started with a PC.
However the SK will correct faster and is way more comfortable to use.
 

Welcome! I would definetely recommend getting the 15mm swirl killer first. If you want to add a second down the road, you would then want to get the SK mini. I have both and I absolutely love, and highly recommend. As BrianT said already, other polishers will vibrate much more than the SK, causing considerably more arm fatigue. The SK is a night and day difference, making for a much more pleasureable experience when polishing!!

Welcome Mike ... Im in Pembroke Pines, where are you? 

Thank you and I will post a pic soon. my car is a bit dirty and I haven't had a chance to wash it since its been raining. But will do soon! I also forgot to mention I have a page on instagram @6baysgarage

Hey Rod, Welcome!  Yes I can tell you guys first hand, swirl killer 15 and mini 12 are the way to go. I am new to the process and started with a cheap harbor freight setup, as I thought I wouldn't need the more expensive polisher since Im just a weekend warrior. Let me tell you how wrong I was... not only does the swirl killers do a better job with less time and effort, the amount of fatigue to my arms was CONSIDERABLY less with the swirl killers. You will get done quicker, the finished result will look better, and you will be WAY less tired when you get done! You could get by with the SK 15mm alone if you absolutely had to, but the mini helps a lot with the curves of my car and smaller areas so for me having the mini also ended up being a must.... Good luck, hope this helps!

Nice arsenal Matt! Welcome to the forum! 

Pretty big Adams fan over here! How is everyone doing? 
Here is a few pics of my collection. 

There’s another one on eBay right now. Start bid at $100

^^^ 100% Agree with M3Eric here.  I purchased the 3" and 6" Griots polishers early this year and used them once and now they sit wrapped up in the boxes they came in. Upgraded to the 12mm SK Mini and the 15mm SK and the difference is night and day. The SK's are a lot quieter, run smoother with very little vibrations, and have plenty of cutting power. They are 100% worth the investment. The 12mm SK mini is a beast of machine and great for all the smaller areas of your vehicle.  Welcome to the forums and your new drug.....The "Adams Addiction" is a real thing with no interventions available lol.

100k Limited Detail Spray was only 100 bottles! This is why I now order 2 bottles the moment they go on sale. 1 to use, 1 for the collection 

I’m glad you were at work then!

Honestly, I didn’t even wanna go that high. But then I remembered, when was the last time I saw one up for sale. One guy had one with 2 other bottles and I didn’t buy them when I should have. So, basically until I got it.

I was one of the people bidding on this. I lost because I was at work when the auction ended so I didnt realize I was outbid. Honestly, I would have went to $150...that was what I decided early on, I just never thought it would actually get there. I think my max bid was set to $125 or something like that. Oh well, if anyone out there has a bottle they can spare, plz message me. Cash or trade, I can work something out, im sure!

LOL Cars and Coffee was by all accounts quite litereally 10 gal, that is as long as they only produced what they mentioned in other threads....
 
"Limited to 80 bottles" 
80 bottles at 16oz per bottle 1,280 ounces
128 ounces per gallon = 10gal. 
 
Personally I would have bought all 10gal if it was offered. 

Canda DS was limited in a 55 gallon drum and gave us 440 bottles, just to give you an idea-- smaller market base. 
 
USA Detail Spray was a 330 gallon tote and yields over 2000 bottles, and we're pretty much sold out. 
 
 
Just to give you an idea! 

I placed a decent size order during the last mystery bucket sale which included the Detail Boy shirts and a few detail boy/girl stickers. One shirt was for me and one was for my son. While the package was inbound, the day of the delivery, FedEx marked the package as damaged, not deliverable. I called Adam's and spoke to one of their sales reps, Chandler. He said typically they wait until the damaged package is returned, see what product(s) are damaged, replaced those, re-box and then ship back out. He saw that I had some of the Detail Boy shirts in there which sparked the conversation of hoping they were ok because he knew inventory was running low on them. I said to him, I'd hate for you all to get the box back and see that the shirts were messed up and then not have inventory to replace it. He said you're right, I'll deal with FedEx and getting the damaged package back but in the meantime I'll make sure a new box is sent out to you ASAP so that you don't miss out on the Detail Boy shirts! 24 hours later I had a new order in my account and a tracking number in my email! Thanks Chandler and Adam's! 

Received my holiday order just in time!!!

That's a heck of a collection.  I need one of those mounts for my swirl killer.
 
I was not able to get any of the illest detail spray.  But got some of the Canada and kingit detail sprays.
