Good problem to have Welcome!

I would like to see a Compare Products feature on the website. Or a list of strength and aggressiveness for certain products.

For instance, is one step polish on an MF or orange pad more aggressive than correcting polish on an orange pad? 

Or, is Wash and Wax or H20 G&G  stronger than using Spray Wax or Detail Spray in between waxes?

There are just so many products now compared to just a few yers ago, It's really difficult to decide, and the website descriptions don't detail much in comparing their own products. 

This bottle was signed by Adam so I wanted a display case to keep it pristine. Thought you guys might appreciate this here :)

Yes, my hope was to have the second battery charged within a few minutes of the other one dying and be able to continually switch off.

When I tried that alternation this morning, I only got 11 minutes of total charge before it died. Its around 1.5-2 hours of charge time to get ~30 minutes out of them.

Maybe it's my charger? It also has never turned from red to green light. Sometimes it will flash green but go right back to staying on red.

Hopefully an Adam's rep can chime in on if this is all normal or not.

Edit: another thing I noticed is when the battery is dead, the indicator won't turn on at all,, but the second you put it on the charger it shows 2 bars. 

Update:

So I'm on day 2 of polishing, and neither of the batteries fully charged to the 4th bar. I'm not sure if they ever were supposed to or are able to?

The fist battery lasted me 27 minutes TOTAL on the default 3rd level speed, but that was not continuous use of 27 minutes. There was several minutes of downtime between panels/sections etc.  The second battery lasted me 30 minutes total before it died. 

27 and 30 minutes of TOTAL battery charge time before it runs out is a little surprising when the site claims 35-45 of use time "under load".

I feel like I'm only doing about 2/3 of a proper job on a section because I'm racing against the battery clock.

Hmm, I have some revive but stopped using it because I didn't really notice a justifiable difference for the elbow grease it was taking.

I figured that even finishing polish with the swirl killer would be less work and better results than Revive while not being too aggressive? Could be way off base though.

You should use waterless wash and a waffle weave microfiber towel to remove the dust. You can use detail spray if you are in a pinch. 

I would advice against that starter kit. I was never a fan of the kits. Most the time it seems like they add stuff you don't need and skimp on the important things. For instance that kit only comes with one bottle of detail spray? That will last you half of your Tahoe. Also, it comes with wheel and fender brushes, but no wheel or all purpose cleaner?  Two wash pads, but one bucket?  

Wash, clay, and seal/wax is your best bang for the time and money... I'd recommend the following:

If you want to clean the wheels, get yourself some All purpose cleaner, tire and rubber cleaner, and the wheel and fender brushes. 

1. Car shampoo, wash pad, and bucket with grit guard. 
2. Clay bar and, get yourself the gallon of detail spray. You'll go through it the fastest. 
3. Hand polish if need be, but you probably won't be able to see a huge difference on a new car for your time and money TBH.
4. Seal with Liquid paint sealant. 

Thanks! Surprised anyone remembers that haha but it's great to see some long time members still here.

Never stopped detailing and hanging around but I've been lax on keeping up with all the new products over the years. I could ask a million questions now.

My point was, with that line of thinking, what could have been so bad with the original APC that they tried to discontinue and replace a fan favorite without asking costumers first?

Similarly, not too long ago a fast food joint removed and replaced one of their most popular sauces under the guise "we want to continue to make our products better." People freaked out and demanded they bring back the old sauce. The restaurant finally caved and said it was really removed because it was the last sauce that still had high fructose corn syrup, which did not line up with their overall menu beliefs.  They apologized and brought it back. 

I have the AR Blue Clean 383 with the foam cannon and I must say I'm really impressed with this setup so far.

Tried searching the forums and google but didn't have much luck. Seems like a lot of guesses and bickering lol so hopefully this doesn't get too out of hand...
Anyways - I'm interested in the foam cannon but have no pressure washer... any suggestions?

Thanks!

Friends, these are made by Nelson corporation, and here is a link to the Amazon page: http://www.amazon.com/Nelson-50336-Brass-Connectors-Female/dp/B0015AUY3W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1395637533&sr=8-2&keywords=dramm+brass+disconnect

I'm looking more for accessories than products.. Thanks though!

That is not how I normally spray detail spray to do a wipe-down, which is why I purposely state "there is no question the panel is fully saturated with detail spray."
 
The video was simply to show that I was impressed at its ability to absorb all the left over water after a car wash, go on to do a full detail wipe-down, and make it through a video showing how it can soak up a fully saturated panel of detail spray without leaving streaks.
