  1. How long does a 200 gram of clay usually last you guys? the old adams clay.. did you guys break it up into 3's or?

     

    Mine get broken up into thirds but I also separate my clay for different areas on the vehicle.  Top, middle, low and wheels.  This way you isolate the risk of bringing something from a lower part of a panel any higher on the vehicle since I know some people clay a panel at a time from top to bottom instead of the entire vehicle top to bottom.  I always have at least another whole bar ready to go in case I drop a piece, the piece becomes super contaminated or anything else that may arise.  It never hurts to have spare clay, applicators or polishing pads!

  2. A larger factor is the brake pad compound.  I've seen some racing compound brake pads become concrete on wheels as soon as they get wet.  I happened to come across this after cleaning an M3 that had said brake pads on it.  He stated that short of going to a wheel refinishing shop, there isn't much that can be done.  Obviously different pads leave different results but with that amount of time and pad compound used, I'm betting it's on there for good, unless you get them refinished.

     

    You're on the right track with the SHO.  Keep them clean, clayed, and sealed to help extend the life of the entire wheel.

  3. And I had ONE Margarita......................that was enough! Don't know who made it but that thing added hair on my chest!

     

    LMAO!  Quote of the weekend!  Is that Mook double fisting in the 3rd to last photo?!?!

     

    I finally had the pleasure of meeting Mook and Adam for the first time this weekend as well as seeing Ashley again.  Talk about a busy event!  Adam was swarmed by people every time I stopped by.  I got to chat with Mook for a bit and talk about an awesome guy!  After walking around for a bit and my dad seeing a ton of 62's like he had back in the day, he was getting the itch to get another Vette again.  After looking at everything for sale we made our way back to the Adams booth and I finally got a chance to introduce myself to Adam himself.  Talk about a humble, down to earth and fun person to be around!  Wish we could have stayed longer but the sun burn was setting in and we had to boogie home. 

     

    Hope everyone had a great time!  I know my dad and I did!

  4. I don't want to tarnish a reputation, but I am having a hard time recommending Liberty Bottleworks.  I placed an order with them through their website on July 19th hoping that they would arrive in the next two weeks before my family and I left on vacation.  I sent an email on July 25 asking for status from Customer Service.  I got no reply.  Went on vacation (had a great time), and my first day back at work August 14 got call from them.  I was told that my order was lost, and that I should have a shipping notice email by the end of the week.  That was August 16th, and I still do not have a status and we are now past 30 days from order.

     

    Go figure, the product I post up and someone has an issue.  I just can't win.  No wonder I don't post on forums anymore. 

     

    Hope it works out for you.

  5. I'm looking into this as well, even tho it's just my side job, since the client list is getting longer and the value of the cars seems to be getting a fair bit higher.

     

    I think JBlack151 has some insurance program going on.  Paging Mr. Black!
