    Those are the bare essentials I would say. 
     
    Single softs from Adam's are great towels, but there are certainly cheaper alternatives out there without sacrificing quality. 
     
    I use my drying towels twice before I wash them. I thoroughly inspect them before the second use, though. Even though the car is "clean" you will manage to pick dirt up somewhere or another on occasion.

    If you don't want to spend a ton of money on microfiber cleaning solution, pick up some ALL Free Clear. It is a detergent that is dye/fragrance/fabric softener free. That is what you need for microfiber towels.

    OP I hate to one up you,   but my husband had ordered some cables and other small electronic related items during Amazon’s Prime day sale. When we opened the box it also contained a 32 oz bag of dextrose! ???

    So I got home and I was expecting a bunch of detailing stuff that I ordered. I got my Rupes nano ibrid kit and also two Adam’s boxes. 
     
    I was expecting a bunch of polishing pads that I ordered last friday so I wondered what my second box was. I open it up and it must’ve been a mystery box! It had a single soft towel, microfiber sponge, car shampoo, APC, glass cleaner and buttery wax. 
     
    I checked my adams account and I didn’t order anything besides my pads. I checked my amazon account and I didn’t order anything besides my utility towels. I even checked my bank account and nowhere on it was $29.99 taken out for a mystery box.
     
    I must say that it was it was a pleasant surprise but I still find it weird. Lol. Thanks Adam’s!

    I personally use a one bucket method, but that's just me. 2 buckets, grit guards, car shampoo, strip wash, visco clay, buttery wax and 10-15 towels with a drying towel should get you started. 
     
    The wheel brush, trim and lugnut brush as well as the big wheel woolie and wheel wash mitt would be perfect for 90% of the wheels out there.

    I have to say this mystery box stuff gets better all the time.  I thought it was great to start with but now you don't even have to order or pay for them. Well done Adam's !

    Sorry Ian, that MB was mine and they must have shipped it to you by mistake.  PM me and I'll send you the correct address.  This sort of thing happens to me all the time.

    I've had good luck with VRT not running after it rains. As stated above, apply the VRT and let it set for a couple minutes. Come back with a microfiber towel and knock it down. Prior to applying it make sure to wipe the trim down with TRC to assure the best bond and look possible.

    Looks like you need to take those wheels off and use a small piece of clay inside the lug holes then. If that doesn’t take it all off, use a small dab of finishing polish with a microfiber towel and work it. One of those methods will work.

    Try a clay bar on the wheels. If the spots are from a recent incident it should pull them off. BUT, once you clay your wheels keep that clay bar for wheels ONLY. It will pick up all sorts of metallic contaminants from the brakes and you don’t want to rub that all over your paint.

    cwp2016nd got a reaction from mc2hill in Single stage detailing questions   
    That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm thinking I might go out there this Saturday to do a test section so I know what pad/polish I will be using. I have 6 of each foam pad but I know it will take more than that. Once I know what pad I will be using I'm going to order more so I can just rotate them out as they get clogged. 
     
    I plan on blowing them out after each section pass, but they still get clogged with paint residue. First I will try finishing polish on a white pad, but I'm thinking an orange pad with correcting polish will get me to where I need to be. We shall see!

    Just wanted to say how great Adam's customer service is. 
     
    My day job is being the parts department manager at Shafiroff Racing and I speak with vendors ALL day long. 
     
    I had a slight issue with a 6.5" orange pad and I sent the team an email. All they asked me for was an order number that it came on and the very next day they sent out a replacement! To boot, they threw in a bottle of orange correcting polish  How nice of them is that?! 
     
    Just wanted to share with everyone how fast, easy and delightful this experience was. 
     
    Thanks guys!

    I agree. I ordered two of the new gray and white wash mitts during July 4th sale. I ended up getting two wheel wash mitts. I wrote this to Customer Service and sent a picture of what I received:
     
    I just opened ORDER #, and noticed that I was sent two wheel wash mitts, not two of the new gray and white microfiber wash mitts. There was no packing slip found in the bucket also. I know you all have been busy with the mystery bucket orders along with the July 4th sale, so I know mistakes will be made and I will always be a Adams customer for your outstanding customer service and product quality. Is it possible to get this corrected? Thanks.
     
    The next day, I received a notification that two wash mitts were being sent to me. Now that's customer service.
