    Mark L got a reaction from Beemer in Just a little teaser...   
    I understand that, but for practicality, it's too much for me. Plus Adam stated the chemicals have a shelf life of 18-24 months if I'm not mistaken.
     
    I just looked at my order history, I ordered my 36oz VRT on 1/1/2013 and am just running out right now, nearly 18 months to the day I bought it.
     
    A gallon is 128oz, I've used approximately 36 oz in 18 months, or roughly 28% of that gallon. Thus it would take me approximately 5.33 years to use a gallon, far exceeding the 18-24 month shelf life of the product.
     
    Adam's used to sell stuff in 1/2 gallon sizes back in the day, that would be perfect for me.
     
    I guess I'll have to buy (2) 16 oz VRTs and just empty them into the big bottle. I've grown very fond of the 36 oz bottles, they just feel right
     
    I wish we could send our empty 36 oz VRT bottles back to Adam's for a refill

    Thanks Eric,
     
    If I towed at all, I would have gotten the 2500 with the Duramax, but it's not practical for me.
     
    To be honest, I'm extremely impressed with the 6.2L and the gas mileage so far. I'm getting 16+ mixed right now, better than my 2010 5.3L GMC Sierra
     
    Love the truck

    My truck finally came in this week and I picked it up on Monday
     
    Absolutely love this truck! By far the best interior and exterior styling GM has ever done IMO
     
    This thing rides like an old Cadillac and the Intellilink system is awesome! 
     
    Just 1 quick pic for now, I'm going to claybar and do a light polishing this weekend, barring this horrible NorCal wind.
     
    I'll take some interior and exterior pics this weekend and upload more. 
     
    I went with a 2014 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 (Standard Box), opted for the big boy 6.2L V8, 420HP, 460 TQ and the Driver Alert Package, which vibrates the seat cushion when you're drifting into another lane.
     
    I went with the Cocoa/Dune interior, did not want the all black with this valley heat. 
     
    This is by far the most advanced vehicle I've ever owned. And let me say this, GM's intellilink system blows my Mom's Audi S4's MMI user face out the water, great job by the GM engineering team! 
     
    Highly recommend this truck

    GEICO is my most hated company by far, their commercials are absolutely annoying beyond comprehension. The older I get, the more inclined I am to spend my money on companies that DO NOT advertise on TV.

    Mark L got a reaction from BluedogGMC in Adam's Ultimate Fire Hose Car Wash Nozzle   
    Yeah I tried that a couple times already. Too much grease or not enough grease, both were a problem.
     
    It's gotten worse lately, but I've learned to live with it. Like I said, the nozzle is built very well, it's just the design has flaws. It's changing the spray pattern while I'm washing the cars off lately.
     
     
    Thanks for the interest, but I'll hold onto this one. I'll be buying the new one and demote this one to the backyard.
     
    I'm going to re-grease it soon, hopefully that will help out with the patterns changing while holding it.

    Mark L got a reaction from IrishCurse in Adam's is now a One Polisher Organization . . . . . . .   
    This is highly disappointing, not the fact that Adam's won't be carrying the FLEX anymore, but the fact FLEX has sold out to the Chinese. 
     
    I just purchased my first ever FLEX right after Christmas, a brand new FLEX PE14-250 rotary polisher and I absolutely love it! After years of using a Makita 9227C, the FLEX is much lighter and easier to control. It's a real shame, it's getting harder and harder to buy non-Chinese tools. Even Snap On has more Chinese made stuff versus USA made. 
     
    I just hope, for FLEX's sake, they still manufacture their tools in Germany and don't adopt the classic Apple line of "Desgined in California, Made in China' BS.

    I finally bit the bullet and ordered a Flex Rotary
     
    I've been wanting one for a long time and got a great deal on another site.
     
    I've been using my Makita 9227C for over 8 years now, and while I love it, it's really large and gets heavy under an 8 hour polishing session.
     
    My new Flex rotary is coming this Monday and can't wait! 
     
    Hope it lives up to all the hype.
