Very nice!! making me want a station myself! @Editguy

So here is the solution I came up with. Just a loop of black cord. I also bought some rubber edge trim from Amazon to keep the racks from scratching the polishers.

Drove up from Colorado Springs this morning to pick up a few items, it was the first time I had been to the new shop. Showroom was decorated for Christmas and there was plenty of stock on the shelves. Staff member was very friendly and willing to answer any question I had. Once I had picked out the items I needed, he asked if I would like a tour of the warehouse. I immediately took him up on the offer and we spent the next 10 minutes or so walking around the warehouse and the “Shine Shop” which is a detailers dream! Just wanted to give a shout out and say thanks for the hospitality, he didn’t have to do it but seemed genuinely proud of where he worked and wanted to show it off. Adams is the best and their staff is a big reason why, keep up the good work and I look forward to my next visit.

Hi everyone. I’m Jason. I currently drive a Mercedes Benz C300 in metallic gray. 
 
I love cars and like keeping them clean. But I always neglected my car... just used the pay and spray car washes, occasionally auto drive through car wash(touchless and touch) during the winter. 
Interior fared better as I always vacuumed and wiped down without any trash lingering. 
 
Recently I started browsing reddit and occasionally saw cars pop up from AutoDetailing section. Every time I would think “My car could look so much better like that”... fast forward to today I just got my shipping confirmation on my first Adam’s and detailing product order! 
 
Past few days I been creeping in all random threads on this forum, especially in the Mystery box part! I got a bunch of questions from reading this and that. 
 
But since it’s winter I decided to start by learning Rinseless wash with one bucket method. My hands get awful dry during the winter. 
 
So my first order consists of: 
Limited Edition Mystery Bucket 
Rinseless Wash 
Limited Edition Bucket(it was $1-2 cheaper I think!) 
 
Got the shipment tracking info today and total weight is 18.5 lbs. Wonder what it is! Says 2 packages. One is 5.4 lbs, I’m guessing that’s Rinseless + empty bucket? 
 
Either way I’m excited! At worst I’ll miss some things I’ll need which I can order separately. From seeing the Mystery thread, Bucket mystery seemed like a great place to start. The Trunk was tempting $99 for $200+ but I felt I could use the bucket... I have none and wanted a lid unlike Home Depot Bucket. 
 
 

Today we went to “2 bros pizza”. 2 pieces and a drink for 3 bucks. Then we went to Carlos bakery. So so good 

A little update. We went to a restaurant called Barilla. Like the barilla pasta in grocery stores. I got pizza but my friends got pasta! 

Only ever had one red car in my life.  You have a great collection.  Bet I can guess which of Santa's reindeer is your favorite too.

Just picked up this red beast on Saturday. It’s gonna need the works, looks like the dealership washed it with sandpaper.  

You're killing me with those Canoli!!!  I'm Italian!

I love the big, fatass beads that collect on the back of my hood-scoop  

New member here.  Added a new stablemate which has been CQuartz Professional coated and I am getting back into car care.  I used to sample many different products from typical retailers.  For years, I have watched and read about Adam's products so here I am.
 
I picked up the Essentials Kit so I am off to the races.  I will search and see which products I should use, but if anyone has any product recommendations in terms of ceramic coated care that would be extremely helpful.  Aside from the products in the kit, I also have a bottle of CarPro Reload to add to my arsenal.
 
When the weather warms up, I plan on seeing what I can do with my 200K mile daily that has been street parked for 6 years in NYC.
 
One quick question I do have for you all is can I use H2o Guard & Gloss on my glass to create a hydrophobic layer?  
 

I agree! I watch their stuff all the time. Jealous of Matt's garage
 

Still available? Interested in cinco de Mayo sprey and boost. Tried to send a PM but not working 

Looks good Jeremy!! Love the red on this!

Joined the forum today!
 
I’ve come a long way from washing cars like my dad taught me!
 
I have a nice setup (Kranzle, Mosmatic handle, Adams, quality microfiber and even a Rupes). Just need to get some experience with the Rupes and I’ll think I’ll be good to go!

Devon, this is fantastic!! I love it! I am actually extremely impressed with how it turned out. Bravo my friend bravo!! I am going to have to make a gingerbread house soon too!!

Thought you all would enjoy this! I decided to steer away from a normal gingerbread house and make it into a shop! I went a little crazy and made some cabinets and a bench in there as well as some racedeck flooring like my actual garage 😂 had to add the final touch and throw a Adams sticker in there as a banner lol. Enjoy and merry Christmas everyone! 26 years old and I had way too much fun doing this haha. 

I just purchased an Alfa Romeo Stelvio and noticed the paint was tacky and had a lot of debris stuck to it.
I pulled out and original Adam’s clay bar and went to work.
after, I hand polished the whole Alfa by hand using the Correcting Polish and Finishing Polish. The results are great.
I am going to take more photos when the sun is out and I detail the glass.
Thanks Adam for such wonderful products.

I will add what I can. The below tire/wheel is brand new. This is with 2 coats of tire armor. It is more of a matte appearance and I did two rounds of tire n rubber cleaner with a tire brush. I am pleased with the appearance as I don’t like them super shiny. 

Interior Detailer instead of VRT in the engine bay.
 

Adam's did a collab with Big Chill that combined WW, DS, and CB for their appliances. Recommend you try that process.

WOW! Great looking car. Nothing beats a black car when its detailed correctly.
 
Welcome to the forum.
 
The wife and I have a 2018 Camaro SS LE1 in Mosaic Black.  She loves detailing it. 

Hey Howard! Great question. The waffle weave towels are designed more towards waterless wash. The waffle weave and  waterless wash compliment each other. The waffle weave pattern will definitely pick up dirt better than the borderless grey. The waffle weave pattern is just more designed for that type of use. (I think. Don't quote me on that though) The borderless grey ones are more for rinseless wash, buffing  product off, H20 G&G And other applications. Although no one says you can'!t try it But I'm not sure how well the results will be. I would also consider how plush that borderless grey towel is compared to the waffle weave. If you use the borderless grey on a dirty car it could potentially damage the towel and fibers of the towel; then you would be out of a towel or however many. Just something to consider!
