I cut the strands on mine to be more low profile when I had my Camaro.

Adams products are not for the volume detailer looking to maximize profit.
 
So either raise your prices or move to a more economical and concentrated product designed for production detailing.

Sounds like some of the members here who freak out when it takes a few business days to get their package lol.
Bottom line people want things instantly. He paid you instantly and expects his package instantly. I don't think he was trying to scam you over a filter but who knows...

Good points made by all.
 
I think this will be a good thing for Adams in the long run.  They are finally being put in a situtation where their most loyal customers are challenging them to get better.   Being pushed by the threat of lost business will certainly get things into gear I am sure.
 
For those who are upset, by all means, venture out and try some other products.  Its perfectly okay.  I can assure you that no one manufacturer makes the best product in every catagory.  Dont fall in love with brands, fall in love with products.  I have tried most of the major brands and I am still around because a few of Adams products are simply elite.  Others are average at best.
 
There really should be no emotion involved when buying products to clean a vehicle.  I have never understood that part.
 
Carry on and good luck to Adams in their transition...

Thanks Chase, and indeed, this will make turnaround times much, much quicker.  I promise.

Says the guy who spends tons of time detailing fire trucks and firehose nozzles!!!  lol
 
He relies on his equipment to get the job done as do you with your firetrucks.  Does being shiny make it farm better?, no....does your firetruck being shiny put out the fire better?, no....
 
Does it help to protect your investment and show others you take pride in your craft?, yes it does IMO.

A silica based spray sealant would be the easiest option here.  Wash like normal and spray liberally while the tractor is still wet.  Then rinse heavily and dry, and you are done and protected.  No applicators, buffing, hazing, etc...

Overworking aka dry buffing. Make sure your pad is primed and do only three section passes of your cutting polish with moderate pressure. Should take about 1 minute. Remove the residue and inspect.

Small chance of spontaneous combustion but you should be fine. We've only lost a couple members in my 4 years here.
 
 
 

 
 
 
You're good to go, wipes right off.

Easy way to find out. Go apply quick sealant with a towel that you know does not lint. If no lint, try it again with the towel in question. Either of those tests will verify the culprit.
I'm 99.9% sure your single soft towel is starting to lint like many others have...
It will leave heavy lint with any wet product like quick sealant or detail spray, and leave minor lint when removing hazed products such as waxes or glazes.

If your using clay lube that contains wax or wax additives, you need to remove the residue before polishing. It will clog your polishing pads prematurely.
I personally find it to be good practice to remove the clay residue every time before continuing with the detail. Most of the time it's a quick waterless wash wipedown but very contaminated cars may get a full wash after claying.

Glad you had a good time!

You can still get the same one online for cheap. They are great carts, I love mine.

You will have to get the bottle rack elsewhere.

Dissect the detail. Every nook and cranny should be clean, no wax or polish residue anywhere, swirls should be gone (strip a small area very carefully with IPA and inspect in the sun), trim and rubber should be conditioned, the paint should bead and sheet water (show evidence of LSP). If you can't check off all those boxes, then demand a refund or a redo.
