Matt@Adams

So I have been with Adam's for quite a few months now, but have yet to share my daily on here. But I figured now is the best time as any! 
 
Now just a fair warning, my car is definitely not for everyone! I'm 22 and in a crazy car scene. I love all cars, though, which is why I love working here and seeing all of your guys' stuff! 
 
My HD crashed so I don't have many pictures as of right now. It used to be silver and has been wrapped a Matte Brown Metallic (soon to change again). 
 
Its a 2007 Acura TL. 
 
 

 

 

 

Since Adam's custom/blank bottle label isn't available yet due to their concentration of moving/new warehouse/shipping/etc. issue.  I've decided to make my ow.  Of course I would prefer a "real" Adam's label instead of my ghetto knockoff.  But I guess these would do in the meantime.  
 

 
And I just emailed Adam's to see if they could send me a Waterless Wash label so I could put it on my pump pressure sprayer that I use for waterless wash.  I mixed the waterless wash using the Rinseless Wash, that's why I don't have an empty Waterless Wash bottle to reuse the label.  

Here’s my list. I started off with stuff from the land of the rising sun, did some European rides for a while, now all domestic.
A lot of fun was had with stuff on this list, and probably more money than I wish to think about.
And yes, I had a Vega fetish for a while. I’m still looking for another clean one too.

Not the quickest or most exciting but it's saved me a ton of money and is running like a champ!

20 and no cars that I can truly call mine, but hopefully a GTI or SI will be coming soon.

Great thread!
 
Let me do some thinking here on my fleet....

age : 25
 
1997 camaro RS 69k miles bought in high school
 
1998 z28 camaro 84k miles mint condition bought for $9k
 
2010 camaro ss ordered new
 
2002 corvette zo6 18k miles
 
currently own 2013 silverado LT z71 4x4

I'm only 19 so this will be a short list for me...
 
2003 Acura RL... Dad bought new, I bought it off him my junior year of high school
 
2006 Acura RL... Dad bought this one a year old and I took it off his hands right before college
 
2008 Honda Accord... bought this used and it's my baby. perfect condition. will drive this through college

My new favorite product 
 
No joke. 

Each bottle has an entire box of instant banana pudding in it.  Tough to cover up that scent. 

Cool video, and a shout out to member tjk_art for the cool DS art work in Adam's office!

Great video!!
 
Most likely, I will not buy the tire shine. I prefer my tires to look natural not shiny. The super VRT works just fine for me.

Great more money I don't have lol and a new detail bag I will get that too.

Great job on the video. 

Go Ducks!

Nice hat Matt, Im lovin it!

I am new to detailing and I am about to pull the trigger on some Adams products for my 2014 Sierra. It is a show truck that hardly gets driven. I built it for Sema 2013 and its been in the garage pretty much since then. Any recommendations on what products to start with. The wheels are Intro billets without a clear coat. Here are some pics, some are from Sema.

Hi Guys, I love this Forum!  I love the friendliness, the cool vibe, and cool people.
 
We don't have issues here, hardly ever.  However, since this is been a common issue, I'm forced to lay this down:
 
Anyone who makes our forum unfriendly will be permanently banned. 
 
Sorry guys, but you can PM, email, or talk anywhere you want, but unfriendly posts here won't be tolerated.
 
Thanks for keeping it positive!

What a bummer! Check your PM too, I just wrote you. 
 
Chances are the point of sale system wasn't set up and ready for payment but that's no excuse for this one. We should have jumped through a few hoops to make it happen. 
 
The good news is you went for a beautiful drive and you'll be getting some free products for the hassle :-)
 
Sorry again for the disappointment, and it is certainly justified. 
 
Don't worry, we will make it right. 

WOW! You were right, they really did take care of me.  You are one great company and customer satisfaction is not just lip service. Thanks so much and I plan to attend the detail clinic next Saturday and hope to meet Eric and Adam.
