Wife made this Adamspolishes pop socket. 

This is how I got mines. They did'nt have undercarriage available last time. Now the do.

I might look into having one made. That's what I did with the C7 Corvette flags that can be seen on the above photo.

Yup! I got some glass cleaner and eco APC last time. Could use a few others! 

My wife's co worker husband is making my banner 4'L x2'W  should look like this. I will post when I get it.

Yes, what Matt said. I use it on my Wrangler Rubber mats.  

In my small business owner experience and knowledge (which admittedly may be limited), it seems strange for a variety of reasons. 
 
First, your dealers who have order and stocking requirements are directly competing with the manufacturer. For example, Adams sells direct to consumers and frequently offers sales. In order to try to maintain market share and orders, the dealer needs to (or should) match those offers. The problem is that the profit margins are established and decisions made at retail pricing. Discounting cuts the margin, and does so considerably. 
 
Secondly, the “Adam’s Polishes” searches will inevitably lead to the website. It today’s society of click and ship, the end user has zero need to seek out a dealer. So not only are consumers not being driven to the dealers, they aren’t even being discovered despite the investment to become a dealer. 
 
I do have knowledge of the stocking levels for dealers as I’ve looked into making the leap. I have no doubt I’d pick up some sales here and there from people local who would support my business. Making the leap won’t return the investment because the loyalists will support us anyway, regardless of the cost difference. New customers are a price/convenience equation, and that’s one that we can’t compete with unless someone is within immediate proximity to us. 
 
Now a dealer has bought into a certain tier of product. This means that they’re investing in so much inventory in exchange for certain pricing. With that, you have to hit ordering minimums monthly or quarterly. What that really turns into is you have to turn your inventory to make money to cover that next order. Without a protected area, what stops someone from ordering on Amazon or direct from Adams?  
 
It’s a model where Adams makes the most money by offering to consumers since even at a discount, they still make more than selling to a dealer. In the meantime, the dealers that do sign up front considerable funds in hopes of garnering sales, but competing with Adams and their multiple sales outlets at the same time...again, direct and Amazon. 
 
The flip side of the coin would be offering territories or regions and allowing someone who is a dealer to buy into that area (for example X square miles) and any order that comes in from that area is credited to the dealer, and done so regardless of if they have that particular product in stock (sometimes it doesn’t make sense to stock everything). So even if a product drop ships from Adams, their dealer who paid their fee gets credit and gets to make their piece of the pie.
 
As a business owner, a model like that may significantly sway me to make the jump. I front a considerable piece of money, but I know that the manufacturer (who can stock way more than I can) is not competing with me or sniping my sales. In exchange, we would push those individual product sales much harder. We make money. Adams makes money. Customers are taken care of easily and happily. Everyone wins.

Hello,
I have a question to whoever is wanting to trade. I know most of us want to trade for stuff we don't have including me. But I have to be honest some of you want to trade but don't know the value you are trading for. I make trades but expect the trade value of the bottle. If you want to make a profit or scam someone don't do it here. eBay is doing a great job for that. Example if I need a Ceramic Boost and its up for trade. I will trade you for the value of it not 1 item less then that. Come one getting tired of people who are just posting to make it to 50 post to trade that for me is shady. They don't even try to make sense on there post . I have done a few trades here and can say there's a few good people here. I was hesitant to trade at first thought what if I get scammed. Then I said oh well lets see how it goes luckily I have trade with good people. But social media is a big thing because you can report that person and words spreads out. Sorry Guys and Gals just wanted to speak what I have been reading and thinking.  If you felt insulted by this I'm sorry but this get old. I'm in for Adamspolsihes  not to make profit could of done it some many times .

Here are a few pics. They dont do justice on how bright they are, but its almost like the sun is in the ceiling. Disregard the messy garage. 

I have noticed the same thing, maybe it should be 50 posts, plus 3 months of activity to cut down on the games.   I know there have been a few items that interested me that people have put up for trading, but I'm focused on building my supplies so I have nothing to give yet.   When and if I am ready to do some trading, I can assure you that it will be of equal value, we should be here because we believe in the products and outcome, not to make a buck off one another.

To me, trades are trades, you either are willing or are not willing to make the trade. Its like buying a product at the store. If you like the price you purchase the item, if you dont you look elsewhere. If you dont like the price Adams is charging for a product do you look for another one? Did the pressure washer the put up for sale make you pause? They are essentially doing the same thing, trade your cash for their product in the end you just need to decide if its worth it. 
 
As stated in the Garage sale rules: "Buyer and seller beware! Adam's Polishes and the Adam's Forums team accept no responsibility for transactions conducted here, although repeated issues or complaints associated with a particular member may result in that member having their private sale privileges revoked."

Im right with you man! Another reason I now stay away from wanting to trade anything. I rather purchase from someone who has overstock of a product or just wants to get rid of it at a discounted price.
 
Sick of seeing.. " I have 2 items but want 6 limited edition detail sprays and your first born"! 
Yes I exaggerated a little bit but believe me I read some individuals trade request and I LMAO!  

How I clean my wash pad is like this thanks to this video..
