Brownie 303

Customer's TL that has never been detailed while in his possession. Pretty much all products Adam's has were used and this was my first paint coating customer!  I'm a BIT nervous as my applicator and all my towels haven't hardened, I hope I did everything right. Anyway on to the show!

Hmm, they posted something else yesterday 🤷🏻‍♂️ Glad it worked out!

Hi Chris, any chance Denver ops is open for a few hours today?  I went around 3 yesterday and the gate was closed. I need to pick up a paint coating. Thanks!!

2019 Tesla model X, customer requested a clean and shine.  I couldn't just put on brilliant glaze which is pretty much what he wanted/paid for.  Being my second "customer" I used iron remover, clayed and used the one step combo, polish and topped with the uv ceramic spray and achieved a respectable result.  Gave myself a FUNcussion by hitting my head on the gullwing doors about 87 times 😄

Glass (there's a LOT of it) sealed, mats trim and tires hit with VRT.

I also got to break in my mtm hydro 😉

My friends 75 MG Midget, freshly Adamized by yours truly.  

Finally got my first "customer", a 75 MG midget with a fresh single stage paint job.  This car has 8 layers of paint and was BADLY oxidized so I had my work cut out for me, trashed all my pads.  I used the new compound, my old bottle of the orange heavy correcting polish, the new polish, brilliant glaze, sealant and then spray wax and some other stuff to top her off.  He wanted the tires and top to have a period true matte finish, no thunderbird leather jacket finish here!

Ceramic coated the explorer Saturday.  I did a full correction last Oct and have been maintaining it, but I wanted to take it to the next level, mission accomplished!

In light of todays cancelled detail clinic, I ended up getting my wrangler corrected and coated with the help of a good friend of mine.  Came out nice!

@Brownie 303 What, no love for the 2000 Frontier!

That has been a solid truck for him, He doesnt want it Adamized but he will be more thrilled when I post pics of his MG I'm shining up for him!  I may swipe the keys for the truck and bring back that champagne color goodness! 

My 18 Wrangler and my wifes 16 explorer. The jeep has yet to be "Adamized" even though it looks perfect in pics, it has lots of broom scratches from the dealership when I got it.  Her car got the correction first, happy wife equals bigger allowance at Adams!

I just read that the Governor has limited all mass gatherings to 10 or fewer people.  Get your Skype passwords dusted off folks 😷

Finally adamized my sis in laws pilot.  Compound, polish, brilliant glaze, sealant and ceramic liquid. Tires and glass sealed, full interior job as well as deodorizer. Also took the one step kit to the headlights and sealed those as well, you can see how oxidized they were on the before pic. She was super happy, I welcomed her to the Adam's way of life 😀

Also cleaned up the wrangler, did some trim restore and installed the anti tailgate spray, I mean tire shine, or as my tailgaters may say "tire blind" 👍

Count me in!  

Greetings from Anaheim!  Quick stop on my way to the airport, felt just like home!  The kids were a BIT too wound up so I made it a quick visit.

Hope to meet you up there one day, Alex! And anyone else visiting, too 👊🏼

I have an application I'm about to submit as I have a DESPERATE need of a change in scenery. I hope to work with you someday, but for now I can message you when I'm dropping by for a quick hello!

I went back today because bogo ruled my finances. I must say you guys outdid yourselves. It looks AMAZING, very good job to everyone involved. Everyone needs to go this weekend to see it in person, and pick up your midnight detail spray like I did 🤪

I dropped in today and I was blown away. It looks AWESOME, it wasnt done, they were aiming for completion at end of day. And lucky me, I get to see the Anaheim store this week on my vacation! 

I promise not to do this too often, but I'm just happy with how well Adam's products perform to help me do a good job. I have maybe 2 ounces in my sprayer and it's making these tires look brand new.  Nothing sees dirt and abuse more than these machines, who knows what kinds of muck this has on it!  

That's awesome!!

After winning the boss over to let me buy Adam's products at work, I cant help but share. Heres a dirty JCB telehandler that I used APC on the tires to bring them back to black. I'm heading back to hq soon to burn a hole in his card some more!  

The weather's been all over the place so I've only managed to knock out 3 interiors. My wrangler, wifeys explorer and my sister in laws pilot.  The pilot is waiting for a full paint correction but I managed a deep wheel clean and a wash for now. 2 out of 3 cars have leather which of course was cleaned and treated. 

I played with the new compound and my mf pad on the pilot headlights and got a good result for such little work. Sun dried makeup was NO match for APC, IC and ID new almond scent!  I LOVE the in n out spray, it really rounds out the detail and gives a "like new" finish. I've had a similar product from car brite for WELL over 20 years that I use sparingly as I was scared I wouldnt find a replacement. I included a pic of cleaned and cleaned/treated leather in case you haven't picked up your leather conditioner yet! 

So what does everyone like to listen to while you detail?  For me it's a mixture of Adam's videos playing in the background, some video game podcasts, or 90's music, Sunday nights it's all about doo wop. So how about it, what rounds out your routine?

The "summon" feature on my buddies tesla backs so slow and careful that people walking have ended up yelling for it to hurry up!  I only need a "rotate your wheels for cleaning" function 😀

I used it on my glass shower and it was practically invisible!

Welcome!  October is when I jumped back into detailing as well. You are spot on with the addiction part, what started as a swirl mini and the 3 step kit has turned into I own almost every chemical, wax, and all 3 polishers!
