Devon527 got a reaction from nateeric in Pressure Washer Recommendations?
I know this is an Adams forum, but Matt at Obsessed Garage has purchased hundreds of "budget" pressure washers and tested to see which ones were up to par, all his videos on this are on Youtube. I would definitely go electric, if you get the right one, it will do everything a gas one would. If I didnt have my Kranzle, I would most likely buy *****.
EDIT: Also another thing, PSI is not what really matters, its the GPM or Gallons Per Minute that is the big factor to figure out.

At first I had to double-check the author...it's a green truck, so no way it's @RayS' car so how could it be his post? Did someone back his account??? I'm a mod now so I can help. 🤔 Well, I was partially right... 😆😆
Nice work, Ray! They're gonna make more in the sale for sure!!

Devon527 got a reaction from Hamilton Detail in Adam's Pressure Washer
I'm not one to talk bad about a company, especially Adams. But there are better options than this pressure washer. That video above is spot on. Matt at obsessed garage has done hundreds of tests on different pressure washers to come up with entry level pressure washers that are built well. Tons of youtube videos of him testing them all and he'll tell you if its junk or not.

Devon527 reacted to Captain Slow in What light do you use to find swirls on Silver Metallic paint?
Daniel, you inadvertently answered your own question. You don’t need a different light source you need a darker background to contrast the light reflected off of silver paint. When I work on my wife’s silver Beast I will turn off all the lights in the garage and use a hand held LED flashlight to check my work. My previous ( and next!) vehicle was pearl white and I learned quickly to do what we do in our optical lab when we’re inspecting lenses for cosmetic defects.
This lens looks pretty good, right? Guess again.
Same lens, same old man hand but with a black background providing contrast just like your security light at night. Perhaps a pop up shade or parking under a tree if you have no garage. You may also need to get down closer to the paint and change the angle of reflection to help see imperfections.

I must say, lots of good inspiration on this thread! A bit of an update on my garage setup.

Devon527 reacted to Trevor in Official Garage or Detail Shop Picture Thread?
You guys have some great garages! I'm really new to detailing and just started to figure out what I need in March. So far this is what I have chosen for a set up. All I have been detailing is my truck, my wife's car, and my motorcycle. Between Youtube and this forum I've been learning lots.
I use my garage as my workshop for various projects and it also has my gym in it so everything competes for space haha.

Devon527 got a reaction from falcaineer in 2011 king ranch seat cleaning
Just a FYI, all King Ranch trucks come with leather interior, thats kind of the main reason its called that is due to it being a saddle type leather which is why they are so different to clean and treat than most leather seats.

Spray them with APC or eco APC and work that in with your hands, then spray them out with your hose. Let them dry and you're good to go!

Devon527 got a reaction from kaj41354 in Tire Armor
Saturday I applied two coats of tire armor on my truck. Could not be happier with it. I put 1 coat on my daily Ford Ranger and that is definitely a matte look compared to this.

Devon527 got a reaction from Nickfire20 in What Did You Wash, Shine, and or Polish Today
With the decent weather we had this weekend, I was able to finally apply Tire Armor to my tires and I couldn't be more impressed with it. This is 2 coats which looks perfect.

Devon527 reacted to Dan@Adams in Service and Security Update - 3/11/2019
Copied from the announcement on our Facebook Community:
Friends and Customers of Adam’s Polishes-
We recently learned of posts on social media raising concerns about potential credit card issues in connection with transactions on the Adam’s Polishes web site. We place huge value on our relationship with our customers, and we are writing this post in an effort to respond to those concerns.
First let me clarify, Adam’s never stores or holds credit card information. When our customer types in a credit card number during the online purchasing process, the information is first encrypted in the browser before it is sent directly to our credit card company. Adam’s employees do not have access to credit card information at any point of the process.
We take security and privacy very seriously and we have been working proactively and diligently to address any potential issue. When we learned of these concerns, we engaged expert security professionals to review the concerns raised by our customers, our security and our website. All of the scans have come up clean, and thus far we have not been able to identify any issues with our website or service providers.
Adam’s is not trying to minimize or avoid the fact that people have and are experiencing credit card fraud. We are just trying to understand it and react to what is a very complex issue. At the end of the day if customers have an issue, we have an issue – we fully understand that.
As part of our ongoing effort to improve service and security and in addition to our ongoing software upgrades, we are changing our server hosting provider this week as part of commitment to improving the customer experience and security.
We appreciate your loyalty and hope you will be patient with us as we go through this difficult and time consuming process. Of course, if you have concerns about the Adam’s site, you can use Amazon, PayPal or contact your local dealer.
If you do feel like you have had a security issue as a result of ordering through the Adam’s site, please contact us directly at IT@adamspolishes.com. We will update this post on Friday, March 15th with any new information.
Thank you.
