You know you want it......

 

 

I love mine. 

I avidly use a Flex and PC 7424xp. Why would I get a cylo.

Thanks... 

great job!

Cupcakes?

Someone should repost this video or redo it...      

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR Eric!!

 

I can't wait to see this thing!!!!!!

Why? How will we get in?    

And no racing! 

Getting ready... Writing my wish list and spiffing up the Shelby. 

See you soon! 

Have a look at the video... it covers the basics. You just want to make sure you're using the product that makes the most sense for you and your particular situation.

 

Sweet! Thanks Dylan. I've been using a product like this from another vendor. So glad to see you guys have it now. And your video is great. 

Will add it to my Valentine order... 

It hurt to watch...  

Logged on to the forum for the first time in A LONG time. 

Good stuff...

I'll be there on Saturday. Is Eric coming too?

I wanted to start off by thanking everyone involved with this clinic/show. Eric and the crew at Thompson's Racing put on an amazing gathering for everyone to enjoy. The weather was more than everyone could of asked for.

 

The Adam's crew killed it with a Car Washing demo, Polishing & Paint Care demo and an Interior Cleaning demo. I overheard a few spectators express how they learned everything they were looking to know about plus more which is a great thing. I enjoyed finally meeting Dylan and Justin who lived up to everything we all know them for. Top notch is the best way to describe them.

 

As for the turn out. You name it, and it was there. I took tons of shots that turned into a project to load onto Photobucket for other annoying reasons, but I got them for you all to drool over.

 

I can go on and on about everyone and how awesome they were, but I'm sure you are all saying, shut up and show us the pictures! Thank you again for everyone involved for an amazing weekend. It was well worth the trip down.

 

Now on to the coverage.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great pics! I don't think I've ever seen my car look so good...  

What a GREAT time!

Thanks to Eric and family for such fantastic hospitality... Great food, friends and beautiful cars.

Only pic I have is my car...

indeed

Admission is the first step to recover!

I appreciate the fact that Adams will replace the jar and contents. As a matter of fact they did just that. I got a new jar with the improved lid and it still is a pain. And I'm not a fifty pound weakling.

My friend that is also an avid Adams fan bought another top of the line carnauba paste wax that comes in a tub with an o-ring to seal it. And is so easy to open a 2 year old could do it. If anyone from Adams would like to PM me I'd be happy to tell them the name so they could investigate their tub.

Because of the ease of use I haven't touched my 3/4 full jar of Americana in months. And I refuse to melt it and pour it or do anything convoluted to transfer the product.

Respectfully,

Peter

It looks like a ho-hum family sedan... Doesn't look sporty at all.

Oh yeah it has led lights... Woohoo!

Wash it with dawn and APC. Then wipe with IPA mixed 50/50 with water. I'd wait a few days after to let the touch-up paint dry.

Went fishing...

With a begonia for the breakfast table.

Actually the 15k includes better brakes, suspension, exhaust and short throw shifter. It is a limited production run of 500. The tune is extra but they are looking to get well over 300hp with it.

Here's a link to the brochure for more specifics.

here's a few cell pics of Dave's '67. Less the wax. Sealant and glaze only.

Mines next...

Welcome, congrats on the car, they're sweet machines!

 

Pete is a standup guy, you're in good hands!

Why thank you Eric...

Thanks a lot! Paint I used us called Krylon Fusion, I used the Satin variety to get that look with plenty of coats. The best part about this paint is it binds chemically with plastics so on the can and the company even says you dont have to prep it for that reason. But I just couldnt get that out of my head from all my paint prep work ive done so all I did was rough up the plastic with 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper and after that wiped down with IPA and then went ahead with the painting.

 

 

 

Id say your rubbie needs the exact same treatment and would look awesome in the end if you did what I did.

 

Incase you wanna do it heres what you need:

 

Krylon Fusion Satin Spray paint - $4.75 a can I used 5 for all moldings

3M Wet dry sandpaper - $5 at auto zone (already had them from other details)

Painters plastic - $10 (home depot, or just use newspaper)

Detail tape - you probably already have from details

Isopropyl Alcohol - $1 at target

 

Total : $39.75

 

I wrapped the whole car and I'm glad I did now cause after seeing my garage this spray paint had a lot of overspray, more than usual spray paint even. But hey for under 50 bucks.

 

-wash

-sand plastics with 1500 grit

-IPA wipe down

-look for missed spots

-IPA wipe missed

-Tape off/cover

-Spray about 4-5 coats it took for mine to lay flat

-Let sit overnight, take off tape and covers

-Sit back and enjoy

 

Super easy and a great way to change the look of a car fast. Better post up if you do it, love to see a rubbie with it done.

Great thanks. Looked on Quadratec web page last night. All 4 oem flares are $169. Hmmmm.... Very tempting. As I need to take them off because I'm getting a spot of rust where they attach to the fender.

I'll let you know the course I take.

Thanks again.

Very nice! I've been looking at a red one at the local Ford stealership.

Fantastic work!

My jeep fenders are starting to look bad. How did you prep the bumpers and black plastic? What type of paint did you use?
