Thank you sir. I've had 4 black vehicles, and this being the wifey's, opted for something a little different this time around. We've had it completed for 3 years now last month. I'd change a couple things: 1) Go with a 7" lift and/or consider a body lift in addition to a 6" suspension lift for greater clearance on nubby 35" tires 2) Amp Research steps. I was already deep into the project when we got started, so another $1500 for steps wasn't attractive at the time. Good luck, Nick

It is well worth it. After going through 2 PC's in 9 years, and still having a Makita Rotary, this is awesome for those who are experienced with both the PC and Rotary.

Great addition to the family of products! All the best, Nick

I can't wait for the old yellow bars to make their way back!

Look classy guys, nice job! Nick

Awesome applicator for sure!

...and it's certainly better than the alternative of using a heavily based petroleum product that would otherwise attract a ton of dust, bugs, etc...and eventually brown

Great write up, this is a great tool for the noobs to detailing and using a paste.

Awesome to apply, awesome to smell, awesome to look at!

Funny stuff, I had a 1/2 bottle of DS left over from my initial purchase from Adam in 2001. It's wonderful to see the improved evolution of the product since!

I find the "effect" lasts longer on the windows and chrome than the "look" on paint.

well said, and agreed!

Sort of a vaccum action. Thanks, I'll have to try that next time.

Quick update. The car has been rained on several times, and the beading on it looks amazing!

Nice job.

Clear coat protein!

Nice!

I'm curious, how do you fill your Leather Conditioner bottle? I have a bit left in my old 1/2 gallon container and was trying to get it to the 16oz bottle with the funnel. The stuff is so thick that all I could think of was fill up the funnel, then tap the LC bottle, but it took awhile. VRT isn't as bad, and I love how thick LC is when applying, but was wondering if y'all had any trick up your sleeve. Thanks, Nick

I did indeed. While the E was a great car, the mileage was creeping up on it and we got out of it at a good time. Enjoying the new one thus far. I was more than pleased with the results of the regimen, and couldn't help but share with the gang. Thanks for all the kind words folks.

Thanks all. I usually get comments all the time at the gas stations and stuff after a detail, but whoa, I wasn't expecting as much as I have since then.

Sure, which forum is it? Thanks again!

I realize it is sort of an oxymoron, but I had to try it. WOW is all I can say. After being an Adam's fan since 2001, I honestly can say I haven't been this impressed with a product since first doing the prototypes of Butter Wax v1.0. I didn't do the prototype of this wax, so I think that is why I'm even more impressed is that the folks who did got it right! I simply could not keep my nose out of the bin everytime I went to reapply. The value of this jar will be awesome. You use sooo very little, and the learning curve on this paste was easy. I purposely tried to put it on thicker in areas and it still removed with ease. On the GS, the doors have no recess, so I tried to do an entire door thinking it would be a PITA to remove....not so, I was able to on all 4 doors! The working area of the wax is far superior to the many other pastes I've tried in the past (10+), and the results are stellar! I highly recommend getting your own!

Hey Friends, Had the opportunity to fully detail my newer 2007 Lexus GS350. I bought it used with 22k miles on it about a month ago. The dealer's detailer reamed the surface with a wool pad and attempted to remove some wetsanding marks very much unsuccessfully. While I had to use another product and my Makita Rotary to remove those marks, the car was done in this fashion: -Tires cleaned with APC, Wheels cleaned using Adam's Green Wheel Cleaner, Wells cleaned using APC and Boulder Blonde Fender Brush -Washed with Adam's Wash via Foam Gun and Professional Wash Pad, Bucket, and Grit Guard, dried with a Gray (old version) drying towel. -Clayed using Detail Spray and Blue Claybar -Spot compounded using Makita Rotary, Edge Green Pad (Gen 1 system), and other product at 1500RPM -Polished with Rotary using Fine Machine Polish and Scratch Remover combo on Rotary with Orange pad at 1300RPM -Jeweled using PC and Fine Machine Polish with White UltraFine polishing pad at level 5 -Sealed using Super Machine Wax on PC with a Red Finishing pad on speed 4 -Hand Applied Adam's Americana -VRT on Tires -Metal Polish #1 & #2 on exhaust tips -Brilliant Spray Glaze on Wheels **Disclaimer--Last pic taken after waking up early on the weekend to wash the car prior to the "water police" patrolling the area. Since I was on a roll, I never changed.

nice results

Nice pics. What lens is that?
