Yes, always nice to meet the real cyber person with most contact electronically. Would have been nice to have better weather and see your magic touch in person. Hope you had a chance to see a few of the cars.
 
Have a safe trip back to CO and Nick to IN.

This is amazing, glad the authorities are taking him off the street before he actually cracks. I am no expert but know that a degree doesn't mean as much as experience in a lot of cases. Hopefully he is locked up or just goes away soon.

I forgot to tell you yesterday how much I like the bag too, the adjustable dividers rock.

I tried the 2 step polishes on my 01 Acura head lights, it is amazing how well it worked. Much quicker with the flex and MF pads than the 3 steps and my PC. Not sure why but these headlights get a nasty film on them, my Monte or either Silverado have the same issue. I should have taken a before, but here is an after. The lens is clear and you can see the reflector & bulb now. Looking forward to the 4" MF pads.
First pix has some of the film left that was covering the entire lens and the second how it looked after about 5 minutes of polishing, cleaning and AQS.

God stuff, maybe it should be part of the driver Ed curriculum so the new drivers can learn how to drive in traffic from the beginning.

True, but we still miss Elvis

Great to meet Nick & Mook, sorry I missed connecting with you Cheryl. Would have stayed longer but my neighbor had to get home. I am going to break out my new toys. Can't wait to try the Flex and MF pads with the new polish.
 
I have sun on my way home, hope the rain misses the fairground.

Cheryl,
 
Mook & Nick are at the show I met them an hour or so ago, it was nice to meet them both. You will find the Adam's booth in the vendor area under the GrandStand. If you need any supplies it is nice to walk out with them. Hope the rain stays away the rest of the day. Might try to get back down tomorrow too.

I received my Flex and 2step today, can't wait till I can sneak out of work this week and try it out. Want to have my Monte ready for Back to you 50's this weekend. Can't be seen in a car with Adam's decals not looking perfect.

I received a 5 pack today, my metal is feeling appreciated again & looking better than new. Great job on the new design.

I'll let you know about the Rupes...I'm in the same situation as you, except I usually have 2 or 3 cars a month give or take.  So I'll give you an honest review.  I didn't need it, I just love trying out new combo's.  I love the Flex, easy to use and corrects like a mother...but an R/O that Paul Dalton swears by on Million dollar cars just had to be tried
 
Just read back through the thread...please don't make this a friggin Rupes argument thread, go create your own people!

Looks great, just hit a my 03 Duramax with Patriot. It is looking better than new. Will try to post pics later, my camera is acting up today.   I was able to grab a couple pix of the truck in the garage as it decided to rain again.  Patriot #34 on an old truck 
 
 
 

That is the technique, one of the tips I saw in a video was to wipe the inside and outside opposite. Your choice just do one side vertically and the other side horizontally that way you know where there is a streak if you have one.

I will take a pix tonight when I get home and post it. It is a simple hook if I remember correctly.

Call in and add it to your order, Matt was kind enough to help me out twice today. Ordered a flex yesterday, realized this morning no foam pads for it (had the PC foam) then this afternoon I see a post on Silverado SS by Nick on metal polish towels are back. Matt was there to take care of me again with a 5 pack.
 
I think I am set until at least Thursday now.

Go with 2 coats of AQS on the front and you can rinse off most of the bug splatter for the summer. I started using AQS last year on the front of camper and truck, makes the clean up on the return so much easier.

I'm just going to wrap this up and close it since (strangely) the topic of handing out business cards is far too intense a topic for some. 
 
We appreciate the suggestion, we also appreciate the willingness you guys have to promote the brand thru word of mouth, but please consider this from our perspective:

1) Printing business cards costs money, we wouldn't/couldn't  sell them to you, and we couldn't control how they were used so how do we manage something like that without it becoming a black hole of cost? A downloadable document you can print is another option, but what guarantee do we have that the printed cards are delivered in a manner consistent to our standards? A wadded up, mustard stained, black and white sheet of paper doesn't exactly scream "premium". Not saying you guys would do this, but its an option if we open it up. 
 
2) We already produce DVD's that are free with your orders as well as a catalog thats coming soon. These materials provide APPROVED company information on all the products, processes, etc. as well as contact information for the company, website, etc. Since these are marketing and instructional materials we already produce and provide that have a consistent method of delivery it makes the most sense to use these rather than add a card. 
 
3) While our customers are our best advocates they are not our spokespeople. The vast majority of our customers would do an excellent job of representing us, I have no doubt, but there is a contingent (as mentioned by others above) that might not understand the products as well as they think they do or even misrepresent the products. A scenario like this can do more harm than good and we want our products to be represented officially - thus the reason a catalog or DVD makes so much sense as it contains the info and the contact / ordering stuff. 
 
In the end we appreciate the willingness to 'market' for us, but you do have to understand that from a business perspective control of our brand image is a very important thing as is not flushing money down a hole we cannot control or measure. 

Word of mouth marketing is called WORD OF MOUTH for a reason... not word of card. I'm sure we could sit here all day and come up with 1,000 specific scenarios and types of shows where it would or wouldn't work. The fact remains that we are an online company. A person will have to be fairly comfortable with the idea of shopping online (or at least browsing online) to do business with us. 
 
A simple "I use Adam's Polishes, heres a DVD" will suffice. If you don't have the DVD thats fine... just telling them gets us an endorsement that money can't buy. If the guy remembers GREAT! If he doesn't then thats our fault for not making him aware we exist. 
 
How this became such a source of hurt feelings I will never understand, but topic closed. Enjoy your weekends and try not to take the internet so seriously. 

I have the MetroVac Jumbo and it smokes any shop vac I have used in the past. I don't plan on using the dry ability as I am worried about some of the dirt back at the vehicle.

One tip, Clean the outside in one direction with the towel...IE UP AND DOWN
Then clean the inside LEFT TO RIGHT
 
If you see streaks...at least you know where to start.
