This is a great thread and can't wait to hear the responses from Adam's. I love their products and have most of them, Just like the OP said there are alot of choices with the LSP's but when do you use what? What products work with each other as far as boosting performance and which don't? I have a gallon of the G&G and love this product, now they have the hybrid version, I want to get some, now the ceramic spray coating comes out, why would I want the new G&G when there is the CSC now? I love everything about Adams just would also like some more clarity of what to use when?  Thanks for the great products and customer service!!👍

I understand. Thanks for the info. I'll be placing a order tomorrow.

Not sure but I believe the forum discount code is "SHINE ON".  I could be wrong on that though

Thanks a lot. That worked.

I'll try that. Thanks

Is Adams a site sponsor for ls2 GTO anymore? The 10% discount dosent work anymore? Thanks

How's the slickness with this product? Similar products like gtechniq and carpro are very slick? Curious?

^{What is the slickness like with this product? Cool Vid by the way..} 

Any updates on this new formula yet?

Are they coming out with a new fire hose nozzle one since its not listed on the site anymore?

So has It been mentioned when the new extra bottles will be ready for sale? Haven't heard anything else?

When should the new bottles be ready? I need some also. Thanks.

What the durability like with the new formula?

Here is the write up Corners posted up.

First of all, I'm not a big fan of the GWT's. I have about 18 just sitting in my shop in a big rubber maid box so at least they don't get any dust on them. Long story about them but won't go into it.

With the other towels, when I got a pretty good dirty spot on them, I'd put them in the washer and then the dryer. Before I did that I would spray the bad spots with APC. They were simply not coming out clean.

I tried everything to get the stains out but to no avail.

About six months or so ago while detailing a large pick-up, I was going through a lot of towels. When I was done with one and it had a lot of grime or gunk on them, before I put them in a pile, again I would give them a shot of the APC. Still stained.

Having 7 of the wash buckets, I've devoted two of them for nothing but dirty towels. Whites in one, WW towels in the other. I now fill each bucket with warm ~ close to hot water because I know it won't take long for the water to cool down.

I then take a gallon of APC and without measuring it, I put roughly 1/4+ of that gallon in each bucker. Toss in the dirty towels and continue working. When I have three or so in the bucket/s I take a simple paint stirring stick and swirl them around for about 30 seconds to a minute and then go back to detailing. I stir them around more than once ~ probably around every 20 minutes.

When I'm done detailing the vehicle I again swirl them around while I am cleaning up other stuff. I then empty the water outside my shop and wring them out. Take them into the house and standing by the kitchen sink, I check every towel to make sure it's clean. So far I have never had another dirty towel or a stained one using just this first method. Then I put them in the washer/dryer and when done, their nice and white or blue and soft.

When I am done using foam pads I bring them into the house and put them in one section of the kitchen sink. Turn on the cold water and when the sink is half full, again I just take a gallon of the APC, pour in an unmeasured amount of it and then start stiring them around and squeezing them. I'll then take each one, and put that in the second section of the sink, check them and if they are okay I put them in another Adam's wash bucket. If I come across one that is still fairly dirty I then use the APC spray bottle and give it a couple of shots and using my fingers I work the APC into them. I get a lot of foam from the APC but when I'm done working with one I put it under the cold water and let it run down on half of the pad until I see clear water and flip it and do the same thing. I then wring them and into the bucket they go.

I found, with both towels and foam pads, if I let them dry in the sun they are not soft as I would like them to be. So I take those out to the shop and lay them on a long metal (moveable) bench. I first put a thick towel down. With this weather, the inside of the shop is usually 80+ degrees. It takes about two days for them to become thorough dry. Then they go into seperate rubber maid drawers.

Yes, I'm using a lot of the APC but in the long run, it's better than paying for new towels and foam pads.

You do realize the date of this thread, and that based on his profile the Bob you're addressing hasn't logged into the forum in over a year, right?

Im here from time to time reading sometimes just not logged in, i greatly appreciate his detailed response. I have also recently purchased a gallon of the adams microfiber wash to help with this situation. I was using Micro restore, it worked well i hope the adams cleaner is better. I have used it once but not on overly dirty towels. Thanks again.

I got your response, thanks for the detailed write up. Ill do as you mentioned for my towels going foward.. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

joined..

If it is tough coming off after an hour, my suspicion would be that it is on too thick.

 

Unless (maybe) it's really really humid where you live.

 

When it dries nicely it should be a haze on the paint. If it looks really white, might be putting on too much.

Ya from hearing what you guys are saying i put on to much product, ill try it again :pc:thanks for the help and tips..

Chris, one more question using DS to remove any stubborn spots, does that effect the shine of the BSG?

Glad to help Bob! Us GTO:burnout: guys have to stick together!!

you got that right...

thanks for the help Chris.

I used BSG for the first time today and it went on east but wasnt that easy to come off had to use alot of presure and wipe it quite a bit for it to come off, i let it sit for a hour. is this because i applied to much product? that what i was thinking since it was my first time using it. thanks

That totally depends on two things. Do you want to do it right and how it looks to you. It's your car and if you're happy with the results then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I might think it looks like crap but I don't own it, drive it or have to see it everyday. Bottom line is, what do you think?

 

Now if you want to do it correctly, then you'll clay, SHR, FMP and then wax. This is how you achieve the wet look. Anything short of doing it correctly and you won't want to park it next to me.

 

nice vette now time for some new wheels.....

I remove the SHR to see if the problem was corrected, but you don't have to you can go right over it with Revive or FMP.

I see Adam do this in his videos, wont the 2 products mix/ get both on your pc pads? ive always wiped the car clean after each step. but this way would save a ton of time.

No need to pm everybody.

 

What I do is get an Adam's applicator pad and moisten it with a bit of detail spray. Then I put some S&H on one end of the pad and Revive next to it on the pad and wipe it on. You can use a little bit less S&H than Revive. Let it dry to a haze and remove with a clean microfiber cloth.

That's all I do.

 

Check out this video from Adam. He goes through it step by step.

can you apply both together with a pc? what is the advantage of doing this?

I use Revive both by hand and with the PC. When using with the PC I use about 4 pea-sized drops, very little (if any) pressure on setting of 4-5. I also don't move as slow as when I use SHR because you aren't doing any correcting.

 

It works great on clearcoated wheels too, especially on the 4" pads

what color pad do you use with the revive?
