I know this is an older thread but man...  I miss Quick Sealant!  

I know this is an older thread but man...  I miss Quick Sealant!  

Thankful for Adam's assistance in acquiring a case around the time it was going out of stock.  

 
I still use it on my daily driver as well.  

I notice this issue on my neighbor's asphalt driveway.  It could be either product, but I would guess the Tire & Rubber Cleaner is worse, since it is going to affect the oil in the asphalt.  Wetting the driveway may help dilute the product on the surface, but it might not resolve the issue.  You could run the hose near each tire so that there is a flow of water to help with dilution.
 
Also, if you live in a climate with winters, you should have your driveway seal-coated to make it last longer.  The seal-coating helps keep water out of the pores, where the water will freeze and cause damage over time.

I have the same problem with my asphalt drive way, we seal it every year but it still soaks up the blue wheel cleaner and leaves white stains. 
Spraying the driveway before helps, but since our driveway isn't perfectly straight; the pools of cleaner collect in spots. 
 
But I'll take a messy driveway in exchange for some clean wheels and cars. 

I recently bought a used ATS-V. I was happy with every aspect of the car except for the wheels. I used all of my Adam's wheel products and still had stains/water spots that wouldn't come off. I even tried some distilled white vinegar, and that didn't work either. Finally, I decided to use my drill with the Adam's mini pads and Adam's polish. I'm extremely happy with the results.
 
Before and after pics attached!

I'm holding out for an Adam's solution...  I bought the Flex from Adam's, because of their recommendations at the time.  Kind of disappointed to come onto the site the other day looking to purchase new pads and not being able to.  

Yesterday evening I returned home from work to find a package from Adam's that I ordered as part of the Black Friday sale.  It wasn't a large order by any means (just under $150 after my black Friday discounts), but imagine my surprise when I saw bottles, towels, and applicators that I had not ordered.  
 
Several years ago I mistakenly received someone else's order and thought this may have happened again...  until when I went through the box and noticed things were marked "free product" and were actually listed on my invoice at $0.00.  
 
It sounds funny, but the items don't even appear random.  It's like whoever put them in there looked at my order history and said, "Hmm, he's probably low on this.  Let's throw that in there too."  The way my luck normally is I will order gallon refills and a few days after placing my order they show up on the daily special.    This was a very pleasant surprise.
 
I just wanted to say "thank you" to the Adam's crew and a belated Happy Thanksgiving.  Keep up the outstanding work.

So i've heard about Adam's products for forever now and up until this moment the only thing that i owned was the Super VRT and the In and Out spray. I've always watched the videos and tutorials on how to properly wash, claybar, polish, etc on the Adam's website but always used other products. Around labor day weekend there was the 15% sale going on with free shipping so i decided what the hell i'm finally going to try out this stuff out.
 
So i ordered the two 7" foam pads, clay bar kit, both polishes, leather cleaner, leather conditioner, and the interior brush. Shipping was prompt and fast, however there were certain items that were backordered that i wasn't aware of which lead to a disaster. At first i was very upset and thought i'm never buying anything from Adam's again. However Matthew and Adam (you guys rock) reached out to me and made sure that everything was right. If it wasn't for Adam's amazing customer service i would of never seen the light.
 
Fast forward to today, i decided last night that i was going to wake up early and detail my car inside and out. I woke up at 6AM this morning (i live in AZ btw so i gotta beat the heat) and got started. Took me about 7 hours to complete everything. I'm absolutely exhausted, BUT i must say i'm blown away by Adam's products and will NEVER use anything else. I have used MANY other brands in the past, but i was truly blown away by Adam's. I don't think i've ever been so satisfied with a product before. I think my favorite products are the leather cleaner and conditioner. My seats have never looked so clean before and they look and feel like they were brand new. Thank you Adam's for the A+ products and A+ customer service!
 
Anyways enough of my yapping and onto the pics!
 

A quick back story:  My brother in law Frank is the singer for "The Streetlife Serenaders", an acoustic Billy Joel tribute band.  I turned Frank on to Adam's products a few years ago, and help him out every summer when he does his paint correction.  Two weekends ago he was playing at Ale Mary's in Scranton.  I go to every show and he threw out a little surprise Adam's tribute in their rendition of Movin' Out (Anthony's Song). 
 
The sound quality is horrible because the place was packed, so you hear a lot of "atmosphere".  I think this was recorded on my sister's phone as well, so it totally doesn't do them justice.  Here's the clip on youtube for anyone interested:
 

 
If you want to skip to the tribute, it's from about 2:00 - 2:12.  And for those that want to know exactly what it is, the line was supposed to be "at least he can polish the fenders".  Instead he sang, "at least Shawn can Adam's the fenders". 
 
Shameless plug:  if you like Billy Joel and are in the Scranton area, they are playing at Dooley's Pub & Eatery this Saturday (3/7).  Even though I'm just south of Baltimore, MD - I'll be there.    Check out their page:

Thank you!  I honestly felt like my price might have been a little on the high side, but that was probably me secretly wanting to keep the car...  and wanting to leave some room for negotiation. 
 
I'm not sure I will ever own another black car either... 

Good luck with your sale.  
 
Did you see the guy on CF that has the 08 Z for sale for $100,000.?       I think you have a better chance of selling. 

Thats a good lookin' Vette right there!

Good luck with your sale!

I don't have any pictures of the process, but can tell you everything I used. 
 
I didn't switch to the Cyclo, I'm still a huge fan of my Flex, Porter Cable, and the 4" drill pads.
 
Wheels & Tires
-Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner
-Adam's All Purpose Cleaner
-Adam's new Tire Shine
-Adam's Quick Sealant on the wheels
 
Body
-Adam's Car Shampoo (foam gun and 2 bucket method)
-Adam's Clay Bar
-Adam's Paint Correcting Polish (admittedly only used this on the fenders as the rest has been swirl free thanks to the good techniques I've learned from here over the years)
-Adam's Paint Finishing Polish
-I used a non Adam's product as a sealant (been testing it on my daily driver and recently applied it to the Z06)
-Adam's Brilliant Glaze was my final step
-Adam's SVRT and In & Out Spray on trim
 
I'm always happy with the results but seldom take pictures.  I took pictures this time because of the addition of the new hood.  I still get questions at gas stations "Is that the new Corvette?" 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
And finally an interior shot.  My Lloyd's mats are pretty worn, so please excuse them. 

me personally - i would paint the mesh grilles black.  then i would probably have a good vinyl place wrap it in gloss black - leaving the carbon fiber vents on each side exposed, just to see if i liked the black versus the carbon.  
 
but thats just me.

Here's a side pic of the hood before I detailed the car on Saturday...  I didn't resize it.  I'll post the rest of my pics in the Cars section.
