I finally was able to pick up the car today. Here’s the final list of changes:
 
-Wrap in Oracal Matte Sunset Shift wrap. 
-Wrap roof, a posts, mirrors, partial hood, spoiler, front splitter and lower rockers in gloss black
-Paint calipers in what ended up being a four stage paint to match
-Gloss black emblems
-Powder coat the wheels black
-6mm wheel spacers on the front and 15mm spacers on the back. 
-Ceramic Coat with a Vinyl/PPF coating everywhere, wheels and calipers in accompanying product.
-Drop a mild tune in the car to wake it up a bit.
 
These are quick shots with the phone. A good video and photo shoot will be happening. The wheel pic was after driving it home, so yup...they’re dirty. These brakes bleed dust everywhere. 

Thanks fellas. Got the interior done yesterday. And did a quick wash. Needs polishing, but I’m going to wait until after they fix a gouge in the bumper next week.  Here it is:
 
 

Hope you enjoy!

 
 
 
 
 

Hi Rich, I am in complete agreement with Chris and can think of 17,291 reasons as of today where you are a prime example of what makes this forum great, but I'm leaving off the "old" reference.

I just wanted to send a special thanks to the folks on this forum that religiously answer questions and give feedback.  Specifically @RayS @falcaineer @Dan@Adams and there are many others as well but I see these guys chiming in on almost any topic.  Thank you guys for taking the time each day to read and help.  For me, it is invaluable.  Often times I read about problems that I don't necessary face but still find the knowledge and approach each person takes as valuable future info. 
 
Kudos to you all and keep up the good work repping the best car care company in the biz..... in my opinion. 
 
I put this in the feedback section because I think it fits best here.  

I have been around for many years and detailing my cars (non-professional) with just about every retail product that has hit the shelves. There are many excellent retail products on the market, but over the last year I have started transitioning my detailing "tool box" over to ALMOST strictly Adam's products. I also recently decided to give Ceramics a try. I wasn't convinced enough to spend the $2000+ for a professional ceramic application, but became very intrigued with what I kept reading about the ceramic spray coating from Adam's. The process was easier than I expected, and the results were outstanding. I look forward to learning more from the fine folks on this forum. I hope I will be able to contribute as well!
 
This is my '04 Corvette Z06. She really likes the Adam's products!! 😎👍
 

 

Thank you Matt.  I can assure you that I get much more out of this forum than what I give and I appreciate everyone's participation and friendly communications.

This is, and always has been, a first class forum.  No problem is not worth answering.  Everyone helps each other.  And I agree with you that Dan, Falcaineer, and RayS are some of the best when it comes to helpful answers.  Well done guys!!  

Thanks so much, Matt. It's an honor to be a small part of this forum. Like Ray, Dan and most every one of our members, I enjoy learning as much as trying to help. We're all in this crazy world of detailing and OCD together!

The Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner should work fine for that, and to wipe down the buckles.  For a light cleaning just spray it on a utility MF towel, but for a soiled seat belt, spray the belt and scrub with a small upholstery brush.

Wanted to give a shout out to Charles and Adam (not Adam Pitale). 
 
Had issues with my Micro Polisher and contacted customer service via email. Received a quick reply from Charles who asked me to bring it back to the warehouse. I went the following day. Unfortunately Charles was not in when I arrived. I was assisted by another gentleman, I didn't get his name. He looked over the polisher and saw the problems. He asked if I wanted a refund or replacement. I told him I would like it replaced as I really enjoyed using the polisher while it worked. He had Adam get a new Micro Polisher and replaced the unit. Can't ask for more than that.
 
I decided to walk around the showroom since I was there. Can be an expensive proposition if I'm left to wonder for too long. This when I got to talk with Adam. A very pleasant young man and I enjoyed talking with him. Adam took great care of me and I left with some great products.
 
I am a loyal customer due to the great product line and equally great staff. Keep up the great work!

Got my truck some new tires yesterday. Of course the first thing I had to do was put some VRT on them! Don't worry, I'll clean them later. 
 

First, hard to believe anyone would let their vehicle get that bad. Second, hard to believe you could get that paint looking so good!!!  Another great job Chris!! 

Ya, two plus hours on a Sierra Denali. I used an airbrush to apply the initial coat to ensure full coverage of all the angles. 
Second coat was just applicator on the chrome leading edges. 
Definitely took a lot of patience....

Did paint correction on the nice Chevy SS Intimidator Truck. Had to start with MF pad & Compound. Followed up with foam pad & Polish. Check out the before & after pics.

New member here! Just caught wind of this forum the adams instagram page, been using adams since 2015 since I got my first car(2015 dodge dart gt) and now using them on my hatch!

New to Adams products Few pictures if the jeep and charger love detailing cars. Well thanks for the add hope to see some of you out there on the streets 

Hello guys,
I've been using adams polishes for a few years now. I love there products. I also been collecting the limited edition bottles. I have attached a picture of my collection and of my truck.
 

I've been thinking about changing the bike to Ceramic Spray Coating and decided today was the day.  The bike has not been out this year so it was exceptionally dirty and really needed some time spent on it.   The first order of business of was to get it outside and take a picture and then hit it with a strip wash.   I'm sure you can see the dust, pollen and who knows what in the first picture.  The bike is a 2002, Suzuki GS850 Intruder and is 100% original.  The kickstand and tires are the only things that have even been on the ground.  

 
After the strip wash and dry, it was into the garage to start the process of making it pretty again.  I had just enough marks that I decided to go with Scratch and Swirl remover and an Orange pad.  The second picture shows the difference with 1/2 the tank completed.    With the exception of the tank and a couple other small areas, everything else was done by hand, but I am confident that that a Micro Polisher would have been helpful.   

 
Next I turned my attention to all the plastic that looks like chrome.  I decided to give the Scratch and Swirl Remover a try and was pleasantly surprised at how well it clean up the turn signals as show in the next two pictures.

Now I was able to turn my attention of the real chrome and since I ran out of the old product I was using, I was able try my recently purchased Metal Polish #1 and #2.  I have to say that I am absolutely blown away by how easy it is to use and the results, which are shown in the next picture.  Please note the chrome parts under the shiny area, that is how everything looked to start.  The point being that it not only cleaned it up, which the other product I previously used did also, but I'd say Metal Polish #1 and #2 was half the effort.
 

The seat received Leather Conditioner and then I started on all the red sections with Hand Polish to make them nice and shiny, followed by Surface Prep and then out came the Ceramic Spray Coating.  Just so there is no doubt, I only put the CSC on the red and non-heat conducting areas, the exhaust and engine did not get coated.   Here is the end result, the first picture is with the garage lights off and the second with them on. 

 

I am very pleased with how it turned out, but I also will tell you that as small as the bike is, you'll spend plenty of time getting all the small places cleaned and polished.  I'm sure I'll find some spots on Sunday when I put Ceramic Boost on it that I missed.  That is just part of having a bike, they take time to take care of keep looking good.
 

It's quite possible they could put together a trio. I can ask if there are any plans for that!
