  1. Like most everyone said, and to reinforce what Mook stated, SVRT can be used on interior peices. However, it is not as effective as Leather Conditioner. SVRT is shinoer that the Leather Conditioner. Leather Conditioner is designed to protect, enhance, and revitilize your interior panels and leather, reintroducing vital moisture and protecting it from the sun. SVRT has SPF 35, where the Leather Conditioner is SPF 65, making it a much better choice for the interior, where the glass can amplify the harmful effects of the sun. Leather Conditioner is also perfect for convertibles and motorcycles. If you chose to use SVRT on the interior for its water-repellent (not water-proofing) properties that is fine. Use it on your lower door panels and on your Weathertech floor mats in the winter time. Be careful and let it dry a bit longer than ussual as it can be a little slick right after you first put it on. Tack it down with a Microfiber Utility towel after applying. Avoid using it on your pedals. Also if you use SVRT on the dash have polorized sunglasses as it will reflect...a lot. (This is why I don't use it on the interior.)
  2. Just a few more days. I will be up there Thursday and Friday as well at The Man Cave Colorado booth doing some washing and detailing. We will also have a few car wash areas for you to wash your car with Adam's Premium Car Care Products. So it you have any questions or special product requests before Saturday, please stop by.
  3. I wrote a long rant but it comes down to this: Everytime I have a bad customer service experience I contemplate what detailing issues I have so I can call an Adam's Team member and come out on top with my hope for humanity intact.

    Input Needed

    I would go with the second one. The first one is just a white square with a red X. (i.e., bad link)
  5. Not my favorite mech design. I was always partial to the Vulture (Mad Dog) varient.
  6. Can't wait. I will be up there on Thursday and Friday too doing some washing and on-site details.
  7. 835 intelligent things. That is a pretty good record.
  8. Is this actual carbon fiber or a faux carbon fiber wrap?
  9. Sweet. Sorry I couldn't make it but I know at least two of my client's took their rides up there. Great pics Mook. See you soon.
  10. Sorry, I have been detailing cars. Today was a Grand Sport, tomorrow a Testla Model S, and after that a Torando and a Lexus. Now time to talk about detailing. One day I will even get to detail MY car and try out our new Cyclo buffer. One day.
  11. The Westboro Baptist Church is currently protesting at the victims prayer vigil. They say God sent the shooter as punishment. I really don't like those guys.
  12. Several discussions about that today. Even if someone else was armed the guy was fully armored and hitting him would not have made a difference. Second is that with the movie flickering, the smoke grenades, and people trying to flee would getting an accurate shot next would be next to impossible. Add in the possibility that if a movie-goer was armed, what if they would have hit the wrong person in the confusion? I wouldn't have taken the shot.
  13. Welcome to the addiction Taylor. Where in the D are you? I grew up in Utica.
  14. Hey everyone, just checking in. I am OK. I seriously considered going to the midnight showing and this is the theatre closest to our house. It is across the street from my bank. But we frequent a different theatre (Northfield), coincidentally next door to where the assailent bought the weopons used in this tragic act. Unfortunatly, the navy kid who was shot may be a co-worker of my wife's. We are still awaiting word on that. FYI, the police station is kitty-corner from this theatre explaining the fast response by law enforcement. While our hearts and prayers are with the victims and their families, my respect goes to the actions of the police officers and first responders for thier heroic actions. Ambulances were not getting there fast enough and the officers were putting the injured in thier squad cars to get them to the hospital.
  15. Saturday is our adventure day in the mountains so we may be stopping by on the way back.
  16. THAT is a great write up. Thanks Mook. Fun thing to do when reading this write up, replace the word "Mitt" with "Mook."
  17. Excellent idea Dylan. and it truely is Great News Greater than this.
  18. Not bad. That is about 20 minutes from the airport and 10-15 minutes from my place. My wife likes to shop in that area. About 5 minutes away from a high-end mall, plenty of eateries, bars, and entertainment. You will have fun.
  19. First I have heard of it.
  20. Are you using 3M vinyl? If so are you using automotive vinyl or DiNoc Architectural vinyl? I ask because the DiNoc has more texture. I use SVRT and In and Out Spray on mine. I have the 3M DiNOC inside and outside or my car.
  21. My worst was actually quite satisfying once completed. I did a 2012 Mini Cooper with 65 miles on it recently. The owner expected absolute perfection. Let me say that again, absolute perfection: not one scratch, swirl, defect, chip, unlevelness, or anything other than perfect. We took the job simply to see if we could do it. After day one, she found scratches I didn't even see. We used LED lights, halide lights, flourescent lights, high-intensity spot lights, and good ol' fashioned incendescent lights to find anything we could. The paint was so soft the when I inspected one scratch my finger nail managed to make an even deeper scratch. When polishing, I would get the scratches out and then have to wait 10 minutes for the paint to cool so that I could touch the car with a new single soft towel. On day one the clients graded me an A minus (extremely high praise from them). A mixture of Fine Machine Polish and Revive Polish followed with Brilliant Glaze and Americana saved the day. After two days the client was happy and now sings high praises of my work, sends us more clients, and even invited us over for a BBQ on the 4th of July. I should metion that the client is one of my favorite clients and I enjoy her company tremendously. If we ever get to do Pebble Beach we decided that this client has to come by to inspect our work before we leave. We learned a lot from this very frustrating detail.
  22. I think there is a copy in the Adam's antiques display case in the warehouse.
  23. Thanks everyone. 24 hours later..still geeked about this.
