I finally gave my truck the love it deserves. A few weeks ago I detailed my wife's Murano and this weekend it was my trucks turn. I had some new products that I haven't used before and needless to say I was blown away by the results. While I was doing my thing I had my oldest some using VRT and In and Out spray on the trim and then I hear "Dad, look at this". Immediately panicked because I didn't that was going to be good. Without me knowing he used VRT on my step bars. I have to say that they came out awesome!! Nice deep dark shine to them. My son can't clean his room but he took the initiative to do that so I was pretty happy.
 
Overall it was a great morning not only cleaning up my truck but hanging with my son doing guy things. Plus I learned a new purpose for VRT.

Hey guys!  I started my Adam's addiction last summer with a few small orders and have loved every single one of the products, so I think it's time to step up my game.  Now just patiently waiting for spring time so the car cleaning shenanigans may resume!

Hey Robert, I live in north Charlotte, Huntersville area.  Here are some more shots for you!

Well momma done had the baby on 1/28 a 9 pound 14 oz baby boy by the name of Owen Daniel Lawson. Momma and baby are doing great. Might be hard to get to Grabiak but I will try.

Hello Everyone,
 
My name is Elvin and I am from Maryland.  I received Adam's sample box as a Christmas gift last year and loved the products included in the box! Since then I have spent around $250 already (in less than a month!) trying other Adam's offerings.  I can't seem to stop buying, the products are that good!
 
Last but not least, I wanted to share my experience with the customer service team, I have been on the phone with Dan and Kourtney and they have been amazing!  They even honoured a sale that I missed!
 
Thank you for great products and great customer service!
 
Elvin
 
PS: I really enjoy your videos.  Please keep on making them!

Hey everyone!  Nick here from South Carolina - just started my Adam's journey since my wife got me a kit for Christmas.  Since then, I have placed two more orders.  My buddy (Hellcat owner) got me turned onto Adam's products.  My recent order should be coming in Friday and I'll have everything I need to do a complete detail.
 
I am new to the game as I have never been into detailing the proper way.  Being a lifetime owner of black vehicles, I hope these products help rejuvenate the love I have for black cars.
 
Here is my current ride.  2012 Challenger R/T on 22" Vossen wheels, lowered on Eibach springs.  Hit me up on Instagram - eastcoastnick

Sweet garage. It looks amazing.

Now to move all the tools, cabinets and Adams cleaning supplies in...

Well most likely that last 2 bucket wash heading into colder weather. Most likely opt out for rinseless washes until spring now. Finished off with some HGG
 

Amen Thanks too all whom have served.

This is what I use. Low enogh not to hit the truck but plenty high enough to reach across the top.
They even always go on sale around Christmas, I got mine for $22.00
 

lol I don't even want to think about it . I would be dead meat.

My personal recommendation for a good all around machine would be the Rupes 15. I have All Rupes machines and love them several Flex rotaries and 3401. A couple of PC . AS I do this as a side business. I have never used a cyclo so I can't comment . But I find for someone that wants only one machine that the Rupes 15 fits that bill perfectly.

I personally never was a fan of the wash pads myself always preferred  a sponge.  But I love the wedge as that is my go to wash media at this time. As far as gloves . I always wear a pair of those long chemical resistant ones. Due just using so many types of chemicals does build up overtime.

Annette after a few years of this my hands are sensitive, I don't even wash the car anymore without putting on a pair of nitrile gloves, your husband should start the same regimen and protect your skin from absorbing chemicals.  The soaps are fairly gentle but anything in high exposure should be eliminated.

Welcome !!

During the week of August 2nd, my son and I flew to Maryland to pick up our newly acquired 1966 Impala.  Appears to be garage kept as the original interior is in excellent condition for being 49 years old.  The package shelf and the carpet are the week areas.  The 283 / Powerglide combo run like a top!
 
We took five days to drive it cross-country to Arizona.   It did well, averaging 17 - 19 MPG.  Except for a mechanical issue in OKC that was quickly repaired, it performed excellent. 
 
It was repainted some years back.  It is a single stage repaint.  My guess it's a Centari Enamel repaint.   My preference is to leave the car as is and only repair some minor mechanical issues. 
 
The Adam's air freshener took care of the "old car smell" in the interior.   But after the road trip, I had 2410 miles of bugs and road dirt to remove.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
I started by jacking the car up and placing it on jack stands.  Made it easier to clean the undercarriage and engine compartment with APC and various brushes.  I will soon remove the wheels to adjust the drum brakes and will hit the fender wells and backsides of the wheels at that time.
 
Followed up with a three bucket strip car wash.  I think the previous owners used turtle was on it, as I has lots of it to remove from under moldings and emblems.  I also scrubbed the jambs.
 
After blow drying the car, I proceeded to clay the paint.  This was probably the worse I've ever seen as I needed two clay bars.  The biggest improvement I noticed was to the glass.
 
The old paint was too far gone for Adam's Paint Correcting Polish, so I broke out some more agressive stuff I still had along with my oldschool Snap On buffer.  This Centari is hard stuff!  However, it did help a bit, and I followed with Paint Correcting Polish.  Maybe when the weather cools off, I may color sand it.  I followed with Adam's Paint Finishing Polish, but only on the roof and hood as I really noticed no benefit.  Maybe if the paint was in better condition, I might have noticed a difference. 
 
An IPA wipedown followed and then I applied some old Adam's Machine Super Sealant and allowed it to cure.  Time to hit the interior.
 
Copious amounts of Adam's Leather and Interior Cleaner were used on the seats, door panels, and dash.  Adam's Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner was used on the carpet.   I followed with Super VRT.  That stuff is awesome!  Adam's Window Cleaner cut through the "film" the previous owner could not remove with foamy stuff and paper towels.
 
I haven't figured out what to use on the 49 year old trunk mat, as I did not want to damage it.  For now, wiping it down with APC will do.  After removing all of the junk, I vacuumed the trunk and returned only items that belong in the trunk.  Another area requiring caution is the original trunk spatter paint, as liquids can damage it. 
 
Spent about 23 hours on it.  I slapped some Chevy Mag Style Hub Caps on it, dropped it back on the ground and this is the finished product.
 

 

 

 

 

 
Later that day, I drove it to a local cruise and was pleasantly surprised with all of the attention it received.  Clearly the interior is the best area of the Impala.
 
The next day, I gave it a quick two bucket wash and followed with H2O G&G.   I think it turned out very nice considering what I had to work with.
 

 
I may try some Adam's Brilliant Glaze before taking it to the next cruise. 
 
Now I have a reason to buy new Adam's Orange and White Foam Pads as I ruined my old ones. 
 
 
 

Just fired up the Mini to knock out my side view mirrors as they have never been polished. All I can say is WOW! Holy Lord this little guy kicks major A$$!!! I had no idea how powerful it would be. It is like having a miniature FLEX for tight spaces. I love it. Gotta do some bumpers and then A Pillars and headlights next. What a great little polisher! Just wanted to share my experience. Had the Mini for a few weeks and finally got the time to use it. If the Mini is this good now I have to look at getting the 15!!!

Excellent post . Thanks for sharing.
