Strip washed, clayed, polished, sealed and (Buttery) waxed a customer's car. 2015 Infiniti Q70S, Malibu Black. He said it hasn't looked this good since the day he bought it new, and better than when he had it done by a local pro detailer just last fall. Music to my ears! Now his wife wants her Explorer done, inside and out. ?

I purchased the standard foam gun a month+ ago and have used it 5 times, it works great.  This was also my first foam gun, so I really thought it was just a gimmick and my expectations were rather low - I was pleasantly surprised and very pleased with how well it works - it is not a gimmick item.
 
The plastic fittings are not as smooth as I would like, so being the good father-in-law that I am, I'll be giving it to my son-in-law and purchasing the premium foam gun for myself.  I don't expect the foam gun to work differently, but I do expect the brass connections to make it easier and smoother to connect/disconnect from the hose.  I have a large driveway and we usually get together to do multiple vehicles in a day, so we'll still end up using mine most of the time.  I expect the brass fitting to be upscale, while maybe not up to the level of my Eley hose reel and brass quick connects, but given the quality of the Adam's products I have so far, I wouldn't be surprised if it is at that level.

Be ready for a photo bomb here. 
 
We spent the weekend ceramic coating three classics for a long time client of ours in a five year warrantied coating. 
 
I’ll let the results speak for themselves. We’ve been so busy we haven’t been on the forums much!  Sorry!
 
 

This place was amazing! You can see it from the highway and it is huge! Everyone there was really nice and willing to answer any questions. Adam even took time out of his busy day to say hi. I got to watch a video shoot as well! I really can’t express how grateful I was to be able to drop in and take a tour. Went to Colorado to visit the wife’s family, but really I agreed because they were only 15 minutes away from Adam’s. I have been a huge fan of Adam’s products for years and this just solidifies that bond. It is a good thing I don’t live in Colorado or I would go broke! I would have to work there for sure. Here are a few pics that I snapped while I was there.

Had a friend come by to have me look at her IS350c that she bought new in 2009(2010 model) that she has never had polished, waxed or even the wheels cleaned.. Will give her this, it only saw touchless carwashes, so wasnt too bad with swirls.  The carwashes did a number on the paint tho.. dull, lifeless and a wicked stain coming out of the mirrors, almost like they aren't sealed to the body properly.  Well, 6hrs later, stripped, clayed, polished, sealed, glazed and buttery waxed and wheels cleaned as best as possible without taking them off.. looks not too bad.  She did the interior, good thing she is a bit of neat freak, the inside wasn't bad.. just some spots needed Leather Cleaner and the rest treated with Leather Conditioner and Interior Detailer...
Oh, and she went home and placed an order with Adams..  another person hooked on Adams after seeing the results...
 
Pre-detailing..notice the stain under the mirror:

First of all, know that I love Adam's stuff.  Living in Denver, it's great to be able to pop up to the HQ and pick up what I need, when I need it (be it Louisville or Thornton).
 
One thing that might be helpful is a product line flowchart/compatibility chart.   I acknowledge there may be a downside to saying "don't use this with that...." and I also realize that if you watch all the Adam's vids this information can be collected, but here's an example:
 
H20 Guard and Gloss:  This is a great product--one of the best out there.   But supposedly you don't use this with ceramic coated cars.   So, there might be a "wax path" chart.   Then perhaps a "sealant path" chart.   Finally, a "ceramic path" chart---with attending why one would use any particular approach.  
 
As I've said, I think the content is already out there--but in multiple places.   For instance, in the original ceramic vids, Adam says one would use this when the vehicle is kept outside, driven in the winter/chemicals, etc.  Whereas someone on the "wax path" (or whatever you want to call it) is waxing a show car or a car that's kept inside and driven infrequently.  Like I said, these aren't necessarily secrets, but for a casual user (or even a sorta-casual, sorta-weekend detailer user) it's nice to have ready reference.   Heck, maybe it's out there and I've missed it.
 
 

From someone currently serving to all who have, are, and someday will, Thank You! I salute you. 
 
What is a Veteran?
Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye.
Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity.
Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem.
You can't tell a vet just by looking.
He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel.
He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel.
They are the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang.
He is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back AT ALL.
He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat - but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs.
He is the parade - riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand.
He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by.
He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep.
He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket - palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come.
He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being - a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs.
He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known.
So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say Thank You. That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded.
Two little words that mean a lot, "THANK YOU".
"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag."
