Congrats Dan!
 
Now get yourself back down here to under-represented FLA (formerly the Sunshine State...currently #wearegonnaneedanark).

Friday night after the show, I joined some of the team for an informal working dinner. We covered a lot of interesting and exciting topics and ideas, and Adam informed everyone that he would like to bring me onto the team as East Coast help, focusing on a few exciting responsibilities. I tried to maintain my relaxed, somewhat mellow composure as best as I could throughout the dinner, but in my mind I was jumping up and down on the table, screaming with happiness!
 
Saturday at the show was much busier with a larger crowd, so I didn't get too many pictures.
 
Demonstrating MP #1 on the passenger side exhaust tips on the C7 Stingray for a customer. He was blown away how fast it removed the discoloration from the exhaust.
 

 

 
One of my favorite rides I saw at the show...drool.
 

 
Another pretty lady that caught my eye!
 

 
The show was great! We sold quite a few polisher kits and tons of other product, while meeting a lot of great people and helping a lot of customers with great questions. The new T-Shirt giveaway was a hit, and I think Taylor, a super friendly part-time model that was helping out at the umbrella cart, nearly ran out of all of the 4oz free samples of DS, TS, and TID that were allotted for the show!
 
On the way to dinner Saturday evening, beautiful sunset behind the mountains.
 

 
On Sunday, the adventure had come to a close and I flew back home to Pennsylvania. I made a stop for some groceries on the way home from the airport, and was still amazed how clean the Regal G.S. looked even covered in a few hundred miles of bug guts and driving through the rain.
 

 
Earlier this week, I did the difficult task of giving my two weeks notice to my current employer. I have learned more than I could ever imagine in the last 13 years there. I thank them for an incredible ride all over the world and wish them nothing but the best, but I am more than excited to start this awesome new journey in life next month!

I stopped covering my garage queen car.
 
I'll wipe the dust off every couple weeks with either RW or WW when she sits for a while.
 
If she sits for an extended period of time I'll cover her. Last time was from October 2013 through April 2014. I'd had shoulder surgery and couldn't shift, or work on her.
 
Dust gets on the underside of the cover and was causing me more damage than the occasional wipedowns. Think about it, how often do you wash your cover? Me-never, it was slowly accumulating dust. Will you be able to wash with all those microfibers? They're going to pick up dust too.

Dave speaks the truth! I'm almost positive I saw at least one gallon of BG at the Goodguys show this past weekend, and I think it sold. I use enough of it that I might eventually start getting it by the gallon too.

For the adhesive? You're going to need a ton of plastic razor blades and 3M adhesive remover cans. It will take hours

Paint sealant is effortless to apply by hand. Don't apply it like turtle wax in the 80's it should go on in super thin layers. You should use approx 1/4 to 1/2 oz total for a coat on a car.

Always use a clean towel to wipe away the haze. Always use a clean MF or foam applicator to apply.
 
If you are working on room temp paint and not in sunlight as directed there should be no issues and honestly with my experience with other sealants you can let it cure overnight and come out in morning to remove the haze and it comes off effortlessly.

I wash all my microfiber towels together with Adam's Microfiber Revitalizer & Brightener.
 
If I've got a towel used with H2O Guard & Gloss, that one gets soaked and hand washed in a bucket with 1/4-1/2 ounce Microfiber Revitalizer & Brightener then thrown in the washing machine with the other towels.
 
The Microfiber Revitalizer & Brightener is formulated to specifically clean automotive chemicals, it's powerful, and  I don't find any need to separate my towels. Yes, over time my white Single Soft and Double Soft microfibers turn slightly grey, but that doesn't bother me as long as the're clean.

Can't wait to see the rest.  Good start so far.

I'm pumped you were able to make it out to Colorado!  
 
Love the 5am photo!  LOL!

Hey guys and gals!
 
I've had so many thoughts running through my head for the past week, and I've been super busy dealing with some exciting things, that I'm not even sure where to start, but here we go!
 
A little background on me real quick: I've been an Adam's Polishes fanatic since I made the switch to Adam's products when I bought my GTO new back in 2006, and I've never looked back. Made in the USA products mean a lot to me, and when you add ease of use and incredible results to that, well, I think that's just awesome!  I would say I've done full exterior and interior details on around 60 cars now in the last 2 1/2 years as an evening and weekend hobby to help out friends, local businesses, and even some customers that travel 90 minutes down from Pittsburgh. I know I don't have thousands of posts on here (yet!) like some of you do, but a lot of my friends and road rally buddies usually refer to me as something along the lines of "the Adam's guy"
 
I've been helping Dave out at some of the Carlisle Events for the past 2 years, as well as helping Adam and Ray at the Grabiak Chevrolet Detail Clinics. I had an absolutely amazing week helping out at Corvettes at Carlisle a couple weeks back, and towards the end of the show, Adam offered for me to come out to Colorado to see Headquarters, meet the team, and to help out at the Goodguys 18th Colorado Nationals. Seeing as I had a long weekend, a bazillion or so airline miles, and an opportunity to continue my passion of detailing cars and interacting with the car community, I said ABSOLUTELY! 
 
I cannot say thank you enough to Adam, Matt, Kent, Ben, Kourtney, Joe and every other member of the team for making me feel so welcome and giving me such an outstanding experience!
 
So now, I'll post up a sort-of photo journal of my weekend adventure to Colorado
 
Thursday, September 10, 2015, 0400...on the cold, wet rainy drive to PIT airport. I wasn't even phased by the weather and was so pumped up to get to the airport and catch my flight. I let out an evil laugh more than once as the rain was no match for HGG at 70mph on the highway...I had to get a quick shot of some 5am beading action.
 

 
Thursday, September 10, 2015, 1100...obligatory airplane travel shot. Oh Hi there Orlando! Quick connection flight and then non-stop to Denver.
 

 
The man himself, Adam, picked me up at the airport and we had to make a quick stop at Purifoy Chevrolet to transport a gorgeous 2016 Corvette Stingray over to Loveland for the Goodguys show.
 

 

 
Adam said that Ben would be meeting us at the dealership, so I had assumed that either Ben or one of the dealership employees would be transporting this dream ride, then after some paperwork, a gentleman hands me the keys! At this point I'm floating somewhere above cloud 9 and thinking to myself "...and I haven't even been in Colorado for an hour yet!"
 
I was smitten with this car after 2 or 3 miles on the road, even with it being the 8 speed auto...perfect color combo, perfect seating position, perfect handling and exhaust note with the bi-modal exhaust, perfect view of the aggressive fender arches through the windshield...perfect... The 35 or so miles to the show were truly a wonderful moment on beautiful roads that I won't forget.  This was really the only picture I snapped during the drive, before we got to those beautiful highways, but at least it shows the sweet HUD
 

 
Fully customizable gauge cluster, similar to my Buick/Opel Regal, just way more options and modes! Track mode is out of this world.
 

 
To be continued tomorrow with more of the adventure and a lot more pictures, but for right now I should probably get some rest!

Show was great Wolf!  Here are a few images..... but look out for many more, and even some video...

Look out! Tyger in the wild!

I really cannot begin to explain how much of an amazing weekend it has been here in Colorado and at the show.
 
I have lots of things to post tomorrow, maybe while waiting for flights at airports, but definitely when I get back to the east coast! For right now though, I need some sleep

UPDATED LIST
 

He just announced that Corvettes is adding another day too.  Now it's August 25 - 28th  Thursday thru Sunday.   You guys will have to be up and running on Thursday now.  

Perhaps it'll boost attendance?
 
That's got to be what they're trying for.

COME OUT AND JOIN ADAM & THE TEAM @ FUNFEST!
 
 
 
 
  ​The Midwest is known by many names: America's Breadbasket, the Heartland, Flyover Country – the list goes on. Mid America Motorworks is adding another name to the list – Corvette Country! Every September, thousands of Corvettes flock to the Midwest – and specifically Effingham, Ill. – for Corvette Funfest. That's why Mid America Motorworks is celebrating Corvette Funfest 2015: Corvette Country

Corvette Funfest is scheduled for Sept. 17th through 20th and kicks off with a Thursday Night Fun Run, where the Effingham Convention and Visitors Bureau hosts a Welcome Fest. The annual Friday Night Charity Event includes a silent auction to raise funds for a worthy cause and the headlining Saturday evening concert caps off the weekend with world class music.

All four days are packed with activities that center around America's Sports Car. Visit the Install Dome for new exhaust, American Racing Headers, Superchargers, intakes and custom interiors. The Fun Dome will feature the latest Corvette lifestyle items, from books, apparel and leather jackets, to furniture, jewelry and accessories that make your Corvette passion come to life. Seminar Village is the place to hear industry experts share tips, technical information and fun memories of their experiences with Corvettes. Combine these events with Celebrity Choice Awards, special displays and Corvettes as far as the eye can see and you'll be eager to come back and do it all over again in 2016!

The ultra fine Rich is referring to above would be 0000 Steel Wool. Use glass cleaner as the lubricant for the steel wool. 0000, or you'll risk scratching the glass.
 
Even better than Isopropyl Alcohol is Denatured Alcohol.

Hi everyone.

I'm a weekend warrior who likes to keep his cars clean. Looking forward spending some time over here learning and sharing. I am very familiar with detailing however Adams products are something new to me. Just watched an Adams daily driver wash video on another site and thought I stop over.

So far I've learned to polish I have also learned that black is not a color it's a full time job. I have learned to apply,coatings and love the ease of maintenance.

I own all the machines Adam offers plus a high speed rotary.
If I was to pick one machine:
Rupes Bigfoot15

Rupes 15 hands down! The easiest machine to use with the perfect amount of power. Plus the 6" pads are great for covering a lot of surface area..
