Thanks Chris. No sweat on the wheels, as this is my truck. The wheels see the pasture now and again. The cars are no problem as pretty much pavement queens except for the occasional road wash.

I understand the rinseless for the paint and wheels. What about the tires and wheel wells? I Use a brush now before the 2 bucket. Tires are cleaned each wash and then S-VRT.  Thinking brush and left over rinseless then wipe with a non-micro towel?  Trying not to get the hose out. I do not want to use micro fiber on tires and wheel wells. Driving down this way the tires need a brush. thanks.

In the machine maintenance ask the shine doc video if you look behind Dylan you can see the flex and another polisher hanging on the wall

Thanks for the link. Interesting. One (OCD)thing on coiling cords, I start with the cord at the machine end allowing the plug to twirl free while coiling the cord. Thus removing any cord line twist. told you it was OCD.

worthy of a sticky icky??

Thanks to all for the help.

My cars and truck headlights are in good shape. No correction needed. I have some of the clear polish that Adams made for the clear bra material. Can I use this by hand to polish before sealing or waxing? I am trying to avoid firing up the polisher just for the headlights.  Clay, hand polish then wax or liquid sealer??? Thanks

Many Thanks for the replies. I too use and like the SVRT and many more Adams products.   I think I had just bought a bottle or two of the non-super when the super VRT hit.  Ordered and switched to the super anyway. I think my first products were VRT and the drying towels  Based on those, I knew I was on to a good company.

May hit on the 36 oz SVRT on sale. As I do not follow Facebook, I wanted to make sure SVRT is not to be soon tweaked or reformulated. Other products have hit me on this and I just want to make sure. Thanks for replies.

I checked by phone with the Beco folks that Dylan mentioned. If you want gas the Honda powered ones have triplex and adjustable power. GX Honda engines and Legacy pump. Reasonable price for quality and eq seems to be better than you can find in box stores. The electric one I checked on had a five yr wty. Fully enclosed motor.

Thanks for the help. Ready to go!

I apologize for my ignorance on this issue.  Just received a cyclo. My question is it ready to go out of the box??? It came with 4 weights, alien wrench and a blade wrench all in a separate box.  Do I need to change any of the balancing weights?   The instructions act like it comes with no weights installed?  Which weights go in if that is the case.?  Thanks in advance for the help.

^ Thanks. Was going to the flex but may just cyclo now. Years of tennis etc and my shoulders need no more wear and tear. Also cyclo seems better for reaching center of large truck panels etc...

Brushes????????

How is the vibration on the flex compared to the cyclo? Will you get the numb hands with the flex?

Thanks for the replys...

i don't know if they do this anymore, but the gallon refill and the 16oz have a 'new formula' sticker on mine.

No sticker as in the online order ad is what made me wonder, as the new just came out in what Feb?

Edit: just chatted with Ashely...they are sure it is the new stuff...seems to be a little deeper or richer color...

Just received a gallon of Detail spray as part of my order. How do I tell if it is the new improved spray? I did order the new stuff and is such on my order slip but how do I be sure it is the new stuff? Thanks for a reply.

I Again, I DO NOT touch my paint.

 

I washed mine at home once when it was in the upper thirties and found out quickly how stupid that was when the concrete starting getting icy. I suggest you only do this if you KNOW your concrete is above freezing.

Golf shoes!

I use a pay&spray and go off hours if possible for a two bucket wash. I broke down and bought the Adams buckets and lids. This way I can carry warm water so hands are not so cold.

My pay and spray has 20mins for $3.00. So I just keep it running while washing so they do not complain. Good luck in SD

Here in less than 48 hrs. Will use soon. Looks like it will need a break in period as most quality hoses need. If you wear this one out you have done some serious car washing or watering.

Ordered the 75' (tired of coiling a 100') and the special of the soap and jumbo/regular pads @ 1 PM Oct 3...Fedx says it will be here today Oct 5...

All for 10% off and flat rate shipping plus the free stuff, you get 2 day shipping...now that is nice...Think I will go and get one of my rides dirty..

Edit: leaving for work @ 11:20 and Adams order just arrived...Adams order here in less than 48 hrs...

^ yep and maybe...I thank Dylan and Adams for finding these and with the 110% gty...shoot...I will buy from Adams. Flat rate shipping, no tax (for TX) and some car suds...sweet...

As to the price, just checked sears for the goodyear hoses that I bought years ago and they are $100 plus and not 3/4" and no special fittings.

This hose has a special brass fitting that turns easily thus rolling out the kinks if you pull the hose out of the coil by the nozzle. I know my sears goodyears kink a little but easy to undo and with the special fittings should be great. And I just ran over the fitting on my current hose!!

Heck, with the gty, life long hose and soap, I'm in before the cut.

Edit:

In for the Daily Special of soap and 2 pads and the 75 foot hose special and flat rate...thanks Adams, all things I can use and I need a dang hose that works...!!!

I clean mine after each use by placing the FB on the ground, spraying the wet FB and BHB with APC, standing on the FB handle just brush the BH over the FB tell clean and rinse. Cleans the Bh right up and the FB. Both going on 3-4 yrs ??? now and seem to be holding up fine. I use the same BH for wheels and engine bays and seems to be fine.

If on a budget: I use APC cut 50/50 (for tires and everything else) for pre-treatment of my towels and tide free on a cold wash with an extra rinse and the GWs and other micros come out spotless. Towels still seem to work. I'm sure the new wash is better but cannot use it on my tires etc...

I also still use an electric leaf blower to knock off a lot of the water before the detail spray and the GW for final dry.

Once the leveling kit is on and windows are tinted. I just finished the debadge last week so I've been slackin'

Aside: if just going to level look into the Bilstein 5100s. Raises the front end only. Put these around on my 09 4x4..nice firm, but not to firm, ride...saves the ball joints compared to a lift...
