PATRIOT WAX - In having had this on my Charger for a couple months now, and having that car only seeing Waterless Washes, I can't even begin to describe my feelings about this wax.  It is NOTICEABLEY slicker under the towel.  The surface tension on this wax is RIDICULOUSLY slippery, and it cleans up so fast.  And the same goes for the shop truck.  It lives outside, and is exposed to elements.  Most waxes I've used in the past, don't hold up as well, and allow more of the environment to breakdown it's shell.....NOT Patriot.  And MUCH less debris sticks to the surface, when I go to wash the truck, water & shampoo go shooting off the surface.  INCREDIBLY pleased with this wax.  Worth every friggin' penny......BIG TIME.  I'm not even gonna comment on the shine, because it's absolutely ri-gosh-damn-diculous, and everyone already knows that.
 
NEW MICROFIBER PADS - Thicker.  Stronger.  Beefier.  Better.  Period.  NO OTHER MF pad on the market even comes close.  No contest.
 
NEW FINISHING POLISH - I'm sooooooo impressed with the workability, and length of work time on this polish.  I've already stated that.  But what I have NOT commented on, is the stupid, obnoxious amount of gloss achieved from its finish.  WOW.  This polish, and the new finishing MF pad, have produced results I've never seen before.  So incredibly super pleased.
 
PROTOTYPE EDGELESS TOWEL - If the manufacturer can keep up with production, so we are NEVER out of these (like a couple of our other towels).  I absolutely DIG IT!!  Not only in the 16x16 usual size, but in a 24x36 size also.  I can see a use for this towel, as a fender mat, when wrenching on our perfectly polished cars.  I also see this as being another alternative for a drying towel as well.  MULTIPLE advantages to this towel being made & sold in a few sizes, as the quality is killer.  My advice is we also offer this in bundles of 10 with a good price break, like MANY other vendors offer.
 
LEATHER/INTERIOR CLEANER - Just wanted to remind everyone what a killer product this is.  I find myself doing door panels & seats, wondering - "Man I hope that comes out....I'm not sure about this one."  And this product KILLS IT.  Every, single, time!!  Don't think it gets enough credibility or kudos.  It's the best I know & never lets me down.  Along with the horse hair brush, it's a LETHAL combo!
 
Just been using these a good bit lately, and wanted to share.  Hope life is good, my fellow detailers!!

Gonna probably pull the trigger on Friday with the Tranny shop, so I am aiming at being back on the road within 30 days!  

I also rinse the brushes out after every use, meaning after I get done with one tire, I rinse out the tire scrubbing brush.  After a fender cleaning, that one gets rised too.  It seems to help keep the dirt and grit from really bedding into the brushes.  I've had some of my brushes almost 2 years now and they look very close to new.  Give em a little soak with APC and let them sit in water like Dylan said and you'll have yourself some nice, fresh and clean brushes and woolies!

Umm.... Yeah... I'm pretty sure that's one of the cleanest blown Suburbans on the East coast!  Awesome work!!

IPA & LSP
 
 
 
I began wiping down all of the panels with Isopropyl Alcohol and a Waterless Wash Microfiber Towel to remove any of the polish residues that remained. 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
Then it was time to bring out the Flex and get the Machine Super Sealant laid down. Now I initially wanted to go further with this detail and was planning on using Quick Sealant followed by Brilliant Glaze and my first use of Patriot Wax. However due to the delays with the shipping processes because of the fires in the Colorado areas my delivery of Quick Sealant and Patriot would not be arriving until the following day. Knowing this Suburban was a daily driver I knew Machine Super Sealant would be my next best choice to keep these results lasting and provide a good solid protection from the elements.
 
 

 
 
 
First came the initial "X" of the MSS onto the pad. Followed by 3 pea size drops moving forward with the Flex set at a speed 2. 
 

 
 

 
 
 
After the MSS was applied I allowed the sealant to bond onto the paint for 25-30 minutes before wiping  away and residue. From there the owner was instructed to wait at least 12-24 hours before using any other products onto the paint. 
 
 
 
 
THE RESULTS
 
 
 
So after nearly 14 hours on the exterior alone I was able to get the Suburban outside for a final inspection and take some shots with the sun going down on one side of the driveway and the moon in the sky on the other. With the black granite paint having so much depth and shine I couldn't wait to get this thing on the road for a little cruise back to the owners house and to see the completed work on my truck in return. 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Thank you for taking the time and having the patience to go thru this entire write up. As always, I have to thank the amazing staff and products of Adam's Polishes for allowing me to achieve these results. The new Adam's 2 step polishing products and microfiber pads did an excellent job on this beast. For anyone considering adding these to their lineup, you will NOT be disappointed.

I have a feeling said goodies are going to do this to your face   while you do this down the streets
 
Can't wait!

Update! I think I am going to go 4L80E. A good friend has found an avenue where it cheaper to get a Stage II that will handle a Ton of HP for me, than having a built 70. Should be back up by September with all the travel I have coming up! Couple other goodies happening while its apart too...

Yes. The new gallon has the same sized spout and is almost identical in height. 

Will the current gallon pump dispensers be compatable with the new gallon bottles?

Welcome from across the river in the Columbia / Mountville area!  You made the right choice in car care!

This will drive OCD people nuts when they have these new jugs sitting next to the old ones on a shelf.

A little sneak peek of a new gallon design we're trying out. 
 
These have a slightly different shape to the neck, which is not only sturdier, but b/c it has more of a gradual taper to it reduces the chances of the accidental "GLUG!" spill when trying to pour product into a bottle when the gallon is near full. 
 
You may see some of these included in your next order... stay tuned! 
 

Snapped a few shots throughout the day and thought I would share them.
 
It was an amazing race day to say the least with Sebastian Loeb setting a new course record by over a minute and a half from Rhys Millen's record last year.
 






 
The GT3 that came really close to hitting me

 
Another angle. I am in the white shirt

His beard is so contagious, vaccines have been created for it.
Years ago, he built a city out of blocks.  Today over 600,000 people live and work there.
Every time he goes for a swim, dolphins appear.
Alien abductors have asked him to probe them.
If he were to give you directions, you'd never get lost and you'd arrive at least 5 minutes early.
His legend precedes him, the way lightning precedes thunder.
The police often question him, just because they find him interesting.
His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man's entire body.
His blood smells like Detail Spray.
If he were to mail a letter without postage, it would still get there.
When it is raining, it is because he is thinking about something sad.
The pheromones he secretes have been known to affect people miles away, in a slight, but measurable, way.
His personality is so magnetic, he is unable to carry credit cards.
Even his enemies list him as their emergency contact number.
He never says something tastes like chicken.  Not even chicken.
His organ donation card even lists his beard.
He's a lover, not a fighter.  But he's also a fighter, so don't get any ideas.
His reputation is expanding faster than the universe.
He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels.
He lives vicariously, through himself.
He once punched a magician... That's right.  You heard me.
He is, the most interesting man in the world.
 

Saint Dylan... the patron saint of shine. LOL 

Wife: Who are you talking to?
 
Husband: Uhhh....Dylan at Adams
 
Wife: Oh really (while grabbing the phone) What are you wearing Dylan at Adams?
 
Dylan: A beard
 
Wife: (to husband) She sounds hideous!

Perogies?
 
You're not a Diva?  are you sure?
 
You look pretty Diva to me

Welcome!  What's a G8?

Total bummer. Was I the only one loving these?!?! I only use 36oz bottles for everything except for GC and SVRT Milk. I guess since I'm mobile it helps to have a larger supply on hand at all times then refill them from my 5 gals and 1 gals when needed.
 
FWIW I can't stand the way the 16oz feels when using them.
 
I'll be good until one breaks. But knowing how great you guys improve things I'm sure the new bottles will work well.

Um.. wow... I know I've been away but.. dayum... 
 
On a side note, I've only 1 pretend internet friend.. Mook, hes my BFBFF    

Hey, if we banned people just because of the odd people they've met from the forums, everyone who's ever met Dylan would have their account shut down. lol

Statistically speaking yes, but the flip side of that is (statistically) girls on the spectrum tend to have more severe diagnosis. It is what it is... we've made our peace with it and all I'm asking for is a happy, healthy, little girl. Nothing else matters. 
 
Tanner is a very loving, very sweet, and unique guy. We feel truly lucky to be his parents and will feel the same about our little girl regardless of difficulties if there are any. 
 
All I know is I'm DOOMED! How on earth am I ever going to say 'no' to a little girl... I'll be a pile of mush I'm sure. 

Its been killing me not to tell more people, but we decided to keep the news to ourselves for awhile. Those of you connected to me on facebook probably saw the posts yesterday. We told close friends, family, and I've told a few of you here who I know outside just the forum. 
 
WE ARE EXPECTING A BABY IN NOVEMBER!! A LITTLE GIRL!! 
 
With our difficulties surrounding Tanners diagnosis there was a time we thought we might not ever have a 2nd (statistically our chances for having another child on the spectrum were high). We had always wanted 2 kids, but life doesn't always go according to plan. It was a devastating feeling and one we struggled with for a long time. 
 
Its not to take anything away from Tanner... I wouldn't change a thing about my quirky little guy, but autism does present a lot of challenges for a family to overcome and we weren't sure we could do it again. We finally came to the realization that being afraid of what could be isn't a reason to not proceed with your hopes and dreams. We left it up to fate and decided we'd just go for it. 
 
So come this November Tanner is going to be a big brother as a little girl joins the von Kleist clan. 
 

Yeah, but your list is already set up.
