Congrats, Tony! The ZR1 looks fantabulous!

I'll be there also to help out as required.

Bruce

Hey Bruce--can you show me how to do those detail thingies on my vehicle?

Tell the rest of the GOCC I said "Hi" for me!

Scott

There will be an email going out to CA residents tomorrow. Mark, Dylan can you guys grab the graphics and post them up here once the cat's out of the bag? Normally I'd do it myself but I won't be near a computer tomorrow.

 

Rich

Ehhh, me thinks the cat already escaped!

Talked to the First Man (Adam--get it?) this evening, as he headed to the airport, from the SEMA show--and Nov 14th is ON!

And Ashley said so, too! That makes it really for real!

See you there!

Scott

Uh-oh, warehouse dudes (and dudettes)--talked to Adam this morning and he tells me he's gonna be in Torrance on Nov 14th and is doing a Detail/Demo

Day that day! Hope this doesn't catch you by surprise!

I'm starting to put out invites, so be ready!

Scott

Our Last Detail Bash in Torrance!

Adam's is moving the entire warehouse to Colorado, and we'd rather sell our current inventory than move it more than 1,000 miles. So come get what you need Nov. 14th -- at 25% off our regular prices!!!

Moving to Colorado is a step that will help us keep down costs and provide faster shipping to our midwest and east coast customers. But before we say goodbye to Southern California, we're having one last big Detail Clinic and warehouse sale... with 25% off everything, a FREE 16oz Glass Cleaner for everyone that attends, and a BONUS $25 Gift Card for every purchase of $100 or more. Come on out and stock up!

Adam, Ashley, Steve and Dylan will all be there to share tips, tricks and give hands-on advice for your toughest detail challenges. In fact, we'll show you how to get the best results on your very own car! And the big sale includes everything you need to keep it looking good; even our very newest products like premium hand applicator pads, Waterless Wash, Americana Paste Wax, and all our economical gallon bottles. Adam is even providing croissants and coffee -- why wouldn't you stop by for this amazing Adam's event?!?

And fear not -- just becasue we're moving our warehouse we're NOT abandoning our California customers! In fact, we have some big plans for more regular CA car-care clinics... stay tuned for details.

Hey Adam! Glad you got to meet Eddie over there. Hopefully his Willy's will be done in time for Reno and we can get the car into your booth. Sorry I missed your call--hope you had a chance to relax for a little bit while over there! Talk to ya later!

We had a GREAT time! Here's a montage that one of the guys posted on You Tube:

Actually I have a photo of the first time I ever used Adam's. It was at a Detail Clinic hosted by West Coast Corvette:

 

Hehehe, I was working the booth at that one, Jason!

Hmmm, you know you COULD convert a PC back to a sander...

For spots that severe, short of mechanical abrasion to remove, it would likely take some sort of acid-based product to remove. I used a waterspot remover, years ago, that I believe was an acetic acid based spray. That said, you could try dampening a towel with some vinegar and wiping a small area to see if the spots start to "fizz" and loosen. If that were my truck, I'd be tempted to try a regular limescale remover that you would get for use in the bath. (I would avoid bare metal, or you may get "bright" spots.) If you are able to "melt away" those spots you can go on to clay barring and polishing to finish up.

Just remember, stronger acids can etch, so dilute appropriately, use eye and skin protection, and rinse off with plenty of water!

Hey Deb! Car looks great! You still got your boomerang?

Scott

Hehehe, I see I'm in this pic! I'm in the light blue tank top, black Adam's cap-- trying to hide behind that tent pole--not too successfully!

Until Adam comes out with a convertible top system of his own, Ragg Topp is the product that he has been recommending for use on convertible tops...

...or, as Ashley says below...

Hey John!

Thought you would know this already...black paint...use a black light!

Having good lighting of any sort is great to have, but think about this... ...when is it you really see all the blemishes and smudges at their worst? I'll bet you'll say late afternoon, when the ANGLE of the light rays are catching all those fine scratches and totally highlighting them.

To me, having even, overall good light can actually hinder spotting those problem spots--try getting some point source of light and view your paint at an oblique angle...

This may not be a great analogy, but, you ever seen one of those paintless dent repair guys work? They'll set up some sort of light or an object with a straight line(s) to use as a reference, and look at the working surface to see what the reflection looks like, at an angle. They can see all the dents and waves on your car, in that reflection. By that same token, looking at your paint at an angle will highlight all the scratches and scuffs that you may overlook when looking at it straight on, in bright light.

Of course, if you were to go with the black, suede look, you wouldn't have to worry 'bout the scratches...

...forum.

Hi everyone! Finally got a chance to register, it's nice to see so many familiar "faces" on the forum.

"My name is Scott, and I am an Adams-a-holic. I've been a buddy of Adam's for a few weeks, now. It's sure nice to have a way for me to get in touch with him, 'cause he never seems to answer my calls! J/K! Does anyone have a cure to an addiction to Adam's Detail Spray???"

Anyway, I got the invite to check out the forum a while back, but I could never get it to come up on my phone's lousy internet... ...but, here I am, now! So, "Hi Adam, Jason, Ashley!" Guess you guys are stuck with me.
