I Love the Odor Neutralizer and it comes in a 16oz bottle. When do you think you are going to offer it I the gallon refill bottles. When you are a owner of 4 or more cars and you want the car to smell like stock it the bomb.

Hi I'm Ray and I have the addiction and a co-dependent wife.  
 
Identification of a co-dependent:
When placing a order they remark how good it will be for their vehicle When a order arrives they act as if you are doing their car the next day When their requests interfere with your planned activities Can you make my car: Have a cleaner windshield Smell better Outshine the neighbors ...And anything else you can think of You know the co-dependency is really bad when they state:   How can you possibly go play golf when it rained yesterday and my car got dirty.  No worries, I'll get started on her car about 7:00 AM and I can go play golf on Monday.

Today was another day for learning the Adam's products.  I received multiple items on Friday, including H20 Guard & Gloss which was recommended by several members for use on my truck.   I decided to do my wife's car, which is 5 years old, before doing my truck, since she is so supportive of my efforts.  I have to say, I'm a bit amazed on what it did and how well it worked.  I followed the instructions on the video and it did what it said, the wife's happy and I am no longer hesitant about using it on my truck.
 
I did have one challenge, the humidity was running around 95% when I started and between the wash getting the H20 Guard & Gloss completed, the sun hit part of the car and I ended up with water spots on the chrome around the drives side windows.  I did not notice it while it was still outside, but once it was inside under the LED lights it was visible.  In order to get the water spots off, I took the gray towel that I had used earlier and rinsed in hot water and went over the chrome a couples of times.  This seemed to dull the chrome , so I hit it again with the GG and then it came out spotless and shiny.  
 
Being my first usage of GG, I am glad that is if forgiving when you make a mistake.  I'm still not sure what my mistake was or it could have been a combination of humidity, sun, old man getting slow, etc., but what is important is that I was able to correct it.  Now, I get to relax until this evening when it cools down to do the  interior.

Cheers to the forum again! I missed number 1, but am still happy I placed.  I was in a different class this year with much more extensively modified cars, but still managed to eke out a nod. I also unfortunately scraped my splitter right after judging ?, so I’ll have to see what I can do to minimize the scrape.  Rinseless diluted 16:1 and VRT in the engine bay. Interior Detailer in the cabin, Brilliant Glaze on those windows, and Cinco De Mayo detail spray on the paint for the pre- judging touch ups.  
 

Went to the US Senior Open. Good people, good beer, good golf...all add up to a great day!
 

Teeing off on 3...or maybe it was 4...

I have also noticed that my pickup takes longer than the SUV's or the car, but I can't explain why - other than my pickup might get some extra love.   
 
I generally do the outside of two vehicles on day one and then the interior of them the next day.  According to the weather I'll change which order I do them in, either way it is two exteriors or two interiors.  By doing half of two vehicles, I save time on getting out equipment, chemicals, etc., and it lets me focus on the task at hand and get into a rhythm - good music also helps.  As an example, when I start on the interior windows, I do every interior window on both vehicles and then I'm done with the Glass Cleaner and Brilliant Glaze so they can be put it away.   I know this method doesn't work for everyone, but for those that it does, it tends to let me run through the tasks quicker.
 
I also have my detailing tray set up in the chemical order so I can go from chemical to chemical without having to look or think about what is next.  My towels are set up in the same way so I know what is next by what I have used, I just work my way down the shelves and I'm good. 

Images aren’t great as I took them this morning after driving the vehicle (so it’s not right after the detail).  Also, the lighting stinks.  But you’ll get the idea.
 
ill post images of the Discovery later this week.  Momma is out of town so she’ll get into a clean ride when she gets home!

This is the my daughter's Range Rover that still needs some additional time spent on it, but it took a major step forward today.  The front rims where nearly black with brake dust and grime, my son-in-law and I are pleased with the way that they came out.  The information on the site, the video's and all the hints from the members have helped with the learning process, but there is nothing better that knowledge to use by getting your hands on the vehicle with the products - plus it helps with the addiction...
 
I have nearly ran out of Red motorized items to do, so I may have to resort to doing the riding mower after I mow on Sunday, yes it is Red, so it qualifies.
 
The other item I did today was use the left over Ultra Shampoo in the Foam Gun on the garage door along with an old microfiber sponge.  The door really cleaned up nice and I even cleaned the windows with the Glass Cleaner.

You're well on your way! Recommend you read this forum to help answer questions about the best products for what you want...
 
 

My kids who have pets keep using my ON and we have found many other uses for it.  A few squirts of ON and the pets are happy that the vehicles don't smell like humans anymore and the following week it is a few more squirts.  We have also used it in the laundry room, storage room, mud room and I put a short squirt in the golf shoe bag after an outing.  If you have tried it yet in a pair of smelly shoes or sneakers, give it a short squirt, you'll be amazed.
 
The ON and Glass Cleaner seem to be getting more use in and around the house than they are with the vehicles.  At least with the GC, I can order the gallon and I would do the same with ON if it were to become available. 

The one enhancement that I would like for the shopping experience is to be able to put Out of Stock items on the Wish List and get alerted when it is back in stock.  Not only would this help the member in knowing they can order it, but it would also let Adam's know how many need to be produced or procured, especially for the specialty items.  The two examples that I'll reference are the Small Detail Cart and MicroFiber Blanket.

Been trying to talk myself into one for a while now, and I found this at a Sears that was closing. Regular price was $2,000, it's available online for $1,460 and I paid $1,000 ?
 

 

 
I got this 300-piece Kobalt tool set back in February for $150, it's just been sitting in the box in the box in my garage since then ?

I organize mines like this..

Over the last month or so I have learned a lot about the Adam's products and it has been an adjustment from the previous products I used, but the results are worth the learning.  I have also added to the collection which has also helped.   I'm posting two pictures, the first picture is from the very first time I used the Adam's products on my truck and the second is how it came out today.
 
First I want to thank @pirahnah3 for reading my original post and letting me know to not worry about the Ultra Shampoo drying on the truck.  Hitting the entire truck with the Foam Gun and then washing it from end to end made it easier and cleaner.   Second, I want to thank all the other members who have posted tips and their methods for getting the vehicles right.  I know I still have a lot to learn about the Adam's products and some 40 year old habits to break.  My very first detailing was on a '67 Nova when I was 16, sure wish I still had that one, and it was 40 years ago.
 
Having plenty of Adam's MicroFiber towels also helped, they are significantly better than the others I had been using.  I also added some additional products, including the new family favorite with the Glass Cleaner.   The original picture had used a very popular off the shelf blue glass cleaner, today's wash included Adam's Glass Cleaner - I think the differences are pretty obvious.
 
For anyone who is not noticing the differences, I'll point them out.   
There is no reflection is the side windows in the original You can see the pine needles and individual leaves in today's picture Through the windshield + drivers side window the bush looks distorted in the original Today, you can see the individual leaves looking the same same two windows I also have a tip.  Tree Sap comes off rather easy when the vehicle is soaped with Ultra Shampoo and you can carefully slide a plastic razor blade under it.  The soapy lubrication allowed it to lift and come right off without any effort or marks left behind.
 
In another month+, I'll give her the full treatment and post
