  1. my new custom uke is an unusual finish and super glossy. anybody that has one of the upper end Taylor guitars it's the same UV cured finish they use. tried the DS on it and it SUPER glossy and even shinier now. i expected that. what i wasn't sure would happen is how slippy it is. the body is very slippery and the neck is too. which is nice because it offers even less resistance on the neck when playing. wonder how it will effect the finish over time? thanks for all the recovery wishes. i notice i haven't been flooded with emails saying when people are coming over to help claybar and work my PC....
  2. been a hard winter.. in december i walked out my front door and slipped on my lawn and broke all the bones that hold your foot on.... yep, totally destroyed my ankle. had surgery on both sides and a couple dozen screws and plates put in and then had to stay in bed with my foot suspended for over 16 weeks afterwards. was allowed to start walking a little at 5 months and when i put my leg down to try the one bone broke again instantly... but i seem to be on the road again now. although i could sure use some help if anybody wants to come over and help me burn up some adams products and clean a couple of cars .....
  3. ok, maybe not a guitar. i have a custom hawaiian made tenor ukulele with a high gloss finish and wondered if spray detailer would be safe on it? i think it probably would but thought i'd ask before i use it frequently. it's a koa wood instrument with a UV cured high gloss finish. i use a little microfiber cloth that people make for guitars and ukes but imagine that ours is much higher quality and is better for it. we gotta have some musicians on our forum with expensive git boxes who use the same stuff on their instruments as they do on their ferraris....
  4. HI Gang I want to say thanks to all of you for the FANTASTIC gifts you've given me... I haven't had a chance to use most things yet because i was delayed in leaving South Carolina and when i got home the weather was cold, snowy and miserable to work outside. i did try my dads power washer and the car shampoo along with the wheel cleaner and brush and washed with a pad and then dried with the towels and sidekick. i used some spray deatailer too. THIS STUFF IS FANTASTIC !!!!! I can't wait to really do a thorough job and get some polish and wax on before i leave again for the suck. But wanted to show you a picture of who i am and tell all of you how much i appreciate your generosity and also for introducing to the adams products. if any of you are ever in the Charleston SC area when i'm in the country would be nice to meet with you. Again, thank you all so much Damien Young
  5. coming home has been set back a few days because he got hit with a PT fitness test and also re-qualifying with his weapon. so he didn't come on the date planned. but he'll be here and i haven't forgotten about pictures.... :--)
  6. haven't heard from anybody so i'm assuming i'm not going to have anybody come. i realize it's a long trip for everybody and also looks like the weather is gonna be lousy too. but thanks for all the kindnesses and i'll get lots of pics and some vids. les
  7. won't be long till dami comes home and begins his auto detailing 101 class. was wondering if anybody had freed up any time to come so i know how many hotdogs to buy? if nobody can make it i'll make sure to get lots of pictures when he gets stuff so everyone can ''be in'' on the presentation. i know it's a long trip for everybody that donated to him. i'll make sure you all see him get stuff if nobody can come and maybe afterwards when he has his stuff he can arrange to meet up with people when he gets home. he lives in charleston sc, which vacation homes in smelly tents in such exotic wonderlands as in afganastan, oman, kuwait, irac, kryzakstan, pakistan, germany, siciily, japan, united arab imirates, uzbekestan and a bunch of other ''stans'' and deserts i'm not allowed to know about that nobody would want to go. he did get to go to china and korea once though when he hauled president you know who's secret service and limosene there. gee... maybe if he ever does that again he can take his new PC and Adams stuff along and shine it up special while they're crossing the big wawa... right now i'm not planning on anybody being able to make it, so shoot me a message if i'm wrong so i know what to plan. i have oct. 23rd on sunday open if anybody wants to come over. know that if you can't come, you will all be in our hearts....
  8. there's a possibility we may need to change the date to sunday the 23rd of oct.. same place. would that work as well or better for anybody who wants to come? he may not be here the following sat.
  9. there were a whole bunch of boxes delivered to my house today... i felt bad for the fedx kid because they all think they have to park out on the street. so he rings my bell standing in the rain and walks down the steps and out the driveway to get another one and i said ''why don't you just back into the driveway do you don't have to walk so far''... this time he actually took me up on it. there were a lot of boxes though. i felt like i was a detailing shop gettin supplies in for a few months....
  10. lynn my wifes from harlingen tx down by brownsville. i remember us driving down... we went through pa, oh, ky, tn and all the other states and then got to tx. then we drove as far in just tx as we did in all the other states put together i think... i'm still waiting to find out the exact dates he gonna be home. there's a possibility that sat could change to the one before. i know during the week wouldn't be good for people. but i'm tryin to make sure we have a get together when he's actually here. that would be good i guess...
  11. to the people that donated and that live close enough and would like to come to the presentation i thought maybe we could get together on sat. oct 29th. only thing is i need to have an idea on how many people can come to make reservations. if the weather is nice we could do a little bbq or something at my place, but i'm also looking for a place that has enough space to let us bring in the boxes. we live at pa exit number 3, or maybe they call it mile marker 28 on the pa turnpike. also, off of I79 at the wexford pa exit. is close to both and easy to get to. basically north about 25 miles from downtown pgh. let me know which direction you're coming from and i'll give you directions. is still a tentative date cause i'm hoping he'll be coming home from SC, but with his schedule anything is open to change. i know he's trying to take a little vacation time but he did the same thing last year and ended up in afganastan instead.... but let me know those of you that think you could make it on that day and i'll see if i can make plans only thing is if i have it at my house and you have a folding chair try to bring it. i have a huge driveway so we could bbq and detail at the same time....
  12. ever hear of the old expression ''a picture is worth a thousand words.....'' or how bout the one ''put your money where your mouth is....'' well, here we have it. you guys have showed a lot of class and appreciation to a stranger that does a job some people take for granted. i for one won't ever forget you. that's a great picture adam. hopefully i can get as good of one for you from this end when the boxes get delivered....
  13. the 29th is a saturday and the only weekend date i could do anything. anybody that donated and lives close enough to come i'll take them out to lunch for the ''presentation...'' i live about 3 miles off the pa turnpike at the cranberry township exit which is about 29 miles from the ohio border. i do need to know how many people are coming so i can make arrangements
  14. and i thought i was gonna have to show him how to use stuff... maybe with his new stuff he'll get so good he'll go into the detailing business part time for his buddies....
