    Parad0x got a reaction from Nickfire20 in Guaranteed Delivery Before Valentine's Day: Limited Time!   
    Just got my order of the Valentines Day Limited Edition Detail Spray and I like the scent.  I was expecting a creamsicle type orange smell but it’s a bit more of a strong straight up citrusy orange smell, but in a good way. 
     
    It came with an Adam’s small sticker like some other orders have as well.   But it also came with a small package of sweet hearts candy which was a nice touch and a plastic card, similar to a hotel room key card,  with valentines day graphics and some wording mentioning to use the code ‘bemine’ for five dollars off an order by February 22nd.

    You guys are kidding right?  Are we so far gone into PC la-la land that we can't suggest a woman would be the most likely gender to own and operate a sewing machine?  My mom, grandmother, or mother-in-law would not be the least bit offended by that comment.  They would be flattered that I assumed they were capable.  
     
    Futhermore, I've never met a man in my life that owned a sewing machine.

    I watched a video on YouTube put out by Adams for the ceramic spray and I'm pretty sure one of the vehicles they used it on had matte black vinyl center stripes so not only can it be used on vinyl but matte vinyl as well. Win Win.

    Friends:  We started this shine-therapy forum over a decade ago!  Time sure does fly....doesn't it?
     
    Thank you for being here, and participating in this shine-crazy community.  Thank you for your business, and for voting for products you like and don't like with your dollars.  Thank you for helping us create better solutions.  Thank you for calling attention to areas or products we can improve.  Thank you for helping us grow this business exponentially, I'm humbled beyond words!
     
    Please, SMILE while you type....
     
    Thank you for not using this forum as a place to air negativity.  Thank you for always being respectful of other members, and our employees.  Thank you for  using detailing, your therapist, or exercise, or meditation to work through your issues, when you feel like life is tough.  Thank you for making AdamsForums a positive and pleasant place to hang out!
     
    In 2008, when we started this forum, we had 6 employees, and a few thousand customers.  Today, we have 125 employees, and over 300,000 customers.  One thing we have learned, for absolute certain:  WE ARE NOT PERFECT!  There was exactly one person who ever walked earth, who was perfect.  We are not Him.  We are not even close.  
     
    If you are feeling perfect, like your finish is 100% swirl free, and never needs cleaning or polishing, if you feel like your poop doesn't stink, like you walk on water, and are comfortable coming here to blast members or the company who pays to maintain this community, please, don't.    Need to get some negativity off your chest?  Find a dirty or swirled up car to detail.  Find a therapist, let out a primal scream, go for a run or hike, a mountain bike ride, go ski or snowboard if that's your winter kick, like it is mine! 
     
    There are many ways people like to get negative energy out. Blasting other members, or this enthusiast forum sponsor probably won't help you turn your frown upside down.  Please come, hang out, be kind, give and get detailing help, and understand:  We want to earn your business, but more importantly, we want your kindness. 
     
    Vote for the products you like with your dollars.  Don't buy stuff you don't like, but please, don't bash them.  If you cannot understand the marketing team's decision to bring on a particular product, you are probably not the target customer!   I have never watched TV, don't buy soda or potato chips, and don't follow sports.  Do I hang out bashing Coke, Ruffles, or slamming the Super Bowl?  Absolutely not, it's just not worth the negative energy!  (Plus, my kids, wife, and employees need me to be a positive influence.)
     
     
    So friends, I've instructed our incredible  Forum Leadership Team to permanently remove AF members who regularly post negativity.  Threads that are overrun with negativity are also going to be deleted, unless they offer detailing solutions or help to members searching.
     
    As the only AdamsForums sponsor, we want people to feel great about being here.  
     
    Thanks for your business, and your smile, and here is my Primal Scream, after getting this off my chest!

    Parad0x got a reaction from falcaineer in What to do when little/no scent is wanted?   
    I have not used it in many years, but I remember Griots interior cleaner being a capable interior cleaner with no added scent.  I always thought it worked very well even on carpet stains for not having a chemical odor to it.
     
    I’ve not tried the Adam’s foaming interior cleaner but the almond scent sounds good, at least to me, though I know it wouldn’t work in your situation.
     
    My my go to interior cleaner for the past few years has been Blackfire interior cleaner. It too doesn’t have a strong odor at all and cleans very well.  After cleaning, I followed up with Optimum’s Leather Protectant.  It’s supposed to clean as well as ‘restore and protect’ but I always liked to first clean separately and then follow up with the protection.  The Optimum leather protectant has a smell to it but to me, it is far from overpowering.  It’s a bit like leather but quite mild, not overly leather scented like some others I’ve used over the years.  
     
    I’ve still got a very little bit left of both but since the fall I’ve just been using Adam’s interior cleaner and have been pretty happy with it, but of course, being Adam’s they’re all scented lol.
     
    Edit: Oops, I see you edited only asking about Adam’s products.  I’ll leave my post but if the mods see fit to remove it, by all means, not a problem.

    I agree with you Falcaineer, I fully believe it is a 2.0.  I was just replying in the thread to try and confirm for the OP his is in fact a 2.0. I have to believe they only put the stickers on bottles during the changeover to immediately know the difference between 1.0’s that may have been lingering in inventory or on shelf space waiting to be used up during training sessions etc etc.
     
    As for the product, I finally got to use it the other day for the first time.  I’ve discussed hw impressed I’ve been with the amazing gloss Adam’s detail spray adds but damn, ceramic boost not only adds gloss but the beading that has been ‘rejuvenated’ on my 15 month old Opticoat Pro Plus coated vehicle is stunning.

    We avoided what was supposed to be many inches of snow around here last night but tonight temps drop significantly and stay below freezing for quite a while so I figured while it was still above freezing, barely, let me get one last wash in.  
     
    Foamed and Washed with the Black Friday Gingerbread Ultra Foam and dried with the remaining Black Friday Cinnamon Detail Spray I had left.

    Parad0x got a reaction from TheWolf in New Year's Sale!!! 20% off Chemicals & Towels   
    Got my order today and love the shirts!  
     
    I got 3 different shirts, images attached of the 3 designs, a cars and coffee detail spray and a mystery detail spray.  My son and I love the mystery spray, he says it’s like kool aid.  I think I was expecting more coffee scent in the C&C, it just smells like sweet chocolate to me and my son and wife smell more hot chocolate.  Nonetheless, I buy these to use and not collect so the scents will be enjoyed while using them.
     
    Thanks Adams for more great fun products!  Before the sale ended yesterday, later than it was supposed to, I ended up grabbing a ceramic boost and wheel cleaner as I’m almost out.  I started using griots products nearly 19 years ago, eventually switched to Zaino and then to OPT (optimum polymer technology) products.  I used OPT stuff for many years now but I must say, I’m liking the quality and uniqueness of your products as well as the amazing gloss your detail spray adds.  I thought OPT quick Detailer would be tough to beat but you guys succeeded in my book.

    Parad0x reacted to shane@detailedreflections in Adam's Ceramic Spray Coating   
    This sounds similar to Can Coat by Gyeon. It fills a need for a client who wants more than wax, but less than a coating. Although with different sealants and waxes our there it’s hard to say just where it fits. 
     
     
    See above about Gyeon Can Coat. It’s most likely a stand-alone or last step. 
     
     
    True ceramic coatings and a product like this are vastly different in terms of application. The chemicals (vehicle) to deliver a spray will naturally require more product. For example when we airbrush wheels, we use way more product than simple hand application. That will account for the volume of the bottle on some level. You also have to plan for the excess that ends up in your towel. Sprays leave much more surplus chemical than a wipe on product. 
     
    And another thought, just because a product is released doesn’t mean it fits into your lifestyle. It’s okay to not use everything. We don’t use everything from everyone. In fact, there isn’t a manufacturer we use everything from.
     
    Sometimes it’s okay to say no. It just doesn’t fit for me. It’s not a reflection on a product, but your process and how things fit in. There’s a million ways to do the same thing in detailing. Our process works for us. It may not work for everyone. It doesn’t make one better than the other.

    The only competitor I am aware of is Ammo Hydrate. The original formula was water activated just like G&G. It was recently re-formulated to be used in the dry as well (Feburary 2018ish).

    Thank you all, sounds different so glad I grabbed one.  I'm not the collecting type so I have been and plan on continuing to use all the Limited Editions I have been grabbing.  To some I talk with it sounds dumb to care about how these things smell but they're not Enthusiasts so they just don't understand...
     
    Good luck @ObsessedDetailer, here's to hoping for the 3 different ones but I agree, very good price on the randoms.  If I get all 3 different I'll be kicking myself for not grabbing 5 or 6, lol!
