Appreciate your honesty.
 
I was one of the few who bought a lot of those American made accessories, such as the 100' blue 3/4'' Goodyear hose, the 50' American made extension cord, the brass quick disconnects, etc.
 
And I absolutely love all of them! Especially the Goodyear hose, while it is a beast to handle, it gives me more pressure and was well worth the inflated price.
 
I know I'm in the minority, but I loved all those American made accessories Adam's used to carry. However, I do understand it's a business and if stuff isn't selling well, it needs to go.
 
I guess I'm just disappointed because I waited to get a new foam gun and now the American made red ones are gone.
 
And for the record, I'm not one to spout about BUY AMERICAN and not walk the walk. While I'm an avid Trump supporter, I do think it's ridiculous his clothing line is made in China.
 
I made the decision a couple years ago to slowly phase my entire wardrobe into American made. I buy 90% of my clothes from ALLAMERICANCLOTHING.COM (not advertising, no affiliation with them, just a great website). I've spent a thousand dollars with this company in the last year alone.
 
All my shoes are American Made New Balance. Boots/Socks/jeans/underwear/polo shirts/undershirts/workout shorts and shirts all MADE IN AMERICA.
 
My only overseas clothing vice is my Polo Ralph Lauren collection. I stopped buying new stuff, but it's hard to throw away $1000s of dollars in clothes, haha.
 
I just wish everyone had my mindset of American made first. I think this country would be in a lot better position, if so.

Not to be a downer, but as a long time Adam's buyer ('06), I must say I'm quite displeased at the Made in China products that have infiltrated the website. I always loved the "Made in America" motto that Adam's used to push. This recent foray into overseas products has led me to buy less and less. 
 
Just being honest.

As promised, here's some pictures I took today. 

I'll take a video later of the DIC and all the customizable gauges the Denali has.
 
 
                                     

Same here. 
 
That's always been one of my biggest gripes with detailing carts, they're too low IMO.
 
It's the first thing I look at when I'm thinking about a detailing cart, the overall height.
 
I'm 6'4'' and the less I have to bend over while detailing, the better. I've always wanted to see a 48" detailing cart come out, something easier on the back. 
 
I love that idea of cutting holes into the cart for wash and rinse bucket. Only thing I could see even better, would be to drill holes along side the big holes so that splashed water would drain down.

It's been done at Best Buy!  
 

Just a little feedback on the new formulated car shampoo.....
 
I've been using Adam's products since 2007 and this is the first time I've been displeased with a product.
 
I must say I'm very disappointed the old car shampoo was discontinued. I really miss it now. I'm not a fan of the new car shampoo, the performance was poor with my foam gun compared to the old formula and I don't like the smell. I got much less suds with the new stuff vs the old.
 
Does anyone know where I can get a gallon of the old formula? I tried a 16oz bottle of the new stuff, but wish to go back to the old stuff.
 
Thanks

I have a HydroFoamer that I've used for about 9 years now, it's the same gun I used with the old soap. 
 
Maybe I was a little trigger happy. 
 
 
 
 
Yeah much better results, I don't know why I thought 1 pump was an ounce, when I talked to Benjamin yesterday, he informed me 1 pump is anywhere from .20-.25 of an ounce.

I have this as well. Tried it a couple of times and got the same results.
 
I use my steamer to clean my interior windows now, love it! Just got it for Christmas, it's a Dupray Tosca 

Thought I'd share this cool Snap On LED worklight I got at Costco last week.
 
It's an awesome 2K lumens 5000K LED worklight, bought it for polishing, tired of the heat from halogen lights.
 
This was only $29.99, but unfortunately is made in China, I bit the bullet anyways.
 
Pretty cool light that is super bright, only uses 25W of energy and cool to the touch.
 
Going to use it this week for polishing in the garage.
 
Here's some pics:
 

 

 

 

Here's a perfect example of what Dylan is talking about, as well as the insane cost of labor to achieve such a result:

My Mom has a black 2014 Audi S4.
 
It's pretty cool, but I'd rather have a Mercedes, just my preference. Audi seems to be very popular these days, but after sitting in a Mercedes vs an Audi, I'd go Mercedes all day. 

Only option is to colorsand, but with factory clear coats being so thing, I wouldn't.

Kinda saw this coming to be honest.
 
I often miss the many accessories Adam's used to carry, such as the MADE IN USA Goodyear hoses (best hose I've ever used), the Red/White/Blue extension cord (use mine all the time), the Dramm brass shut off valve (love mine, especially polished up ), etc. I figured these were dropped because the profit margins weren't high enough to justify carrying the products anymore.
 
I think I actually liked the random accessories that were carried over the staple products. One can only buy so many gallons of product at a time. While I'm happy to hear there will be a new influx of products coming to Adam's, I still refuse to buy Chinese products whenever possible, it's just a thing with me. Not saying I don't own any Chinese made products, I just try very hard to avoid them. 
 
In this day and age, it seems it's nearly impossible to steer clear of cheap Chinese made products. That's the way the world is. I often say, at my 32 years of age, I wish I grew up during a different era...... I'd give up cell phones/computers/satellite TV in a second to avoid products made overseas and especially my pet peeve of corporate named stadiums/arenas/venues.
 
Just my .02

Yes 6.2L.
 
I'm a member over at GMTrucks.com, GMFullsize.com, and GM Inside News.
 
I'm trying to lay off the mod bug, it's hit me hard in the past. That's pretty much the reason I got the Denali.
 
I'm planning on leveling the front rake of the truck this Spring, then contemplating an exhaust, but not wanting to spend the $1250 for the Borla or Corsa. We'll see. The HID mod will take place in Spring too. Maybe some AMP steps as well, if I can find a good deal.
 
Don't have any issues with my radio at all. I had 1 small issue with voice navigation not working back in July, but it hasn't happened since.
 
Yeah I'm going stock 4300K pure white light on mine. Going to get all my stuff at The RetroFit Source. Going with high quality Morimoto ballasts, bulbs and projectors. 

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
 

Just picked these up
 
Got 2 pairs of New Balance, both "Made in the USA"..... meaning 70% or more of the materials are from the USA
 
A pair of 940v2 shoes for running and working out.....
 


 
 
And a pair of 990s for everywhere else

Nice find, I found something like that at Costco a few years back and bought like 5 of them
 
I believe they were $7.99
 

 

Just ordered some of the new Tire Shine and some more VRT
 
Haven't placed an order in so long, I've been going through withdrawals
