    Two other things I miss from when Adam was running things:
    They only made enough products to meet customers' needs, and there was not any unnecessary flair nor multiple variations of products.
    If something could be made in the USA, Adam had it made in the USA.

    In a first for me, I’m quoting myself! (Not to be confused with talking to myself 😁)
     
    I forwarded the info for bulk orders to purchasing. I think it would be nice to get Adam’s the business.(We have over 40,000 people working from home, but quite a few of our offices have people still going in.)

    while I just finished washing 2 of our cars 15 minutes ago, I have plenty to do. Both of my jobs are “essential“, but only one pays like it.😀

    I had to use Brilliant Glaze on both my cars because the windshields had more streaking than a 1970s college campus! (Or maybe it was 60s, I wasn’t in college until the 80s and we clearly didn’t have enough streaking then😀)

    I only use Patriot on my Vette. It is garaged and quite frankly rarely driven.
     
    We did have a 2017 Equinox on a two-year lease and I knew it would be outside the whole time because we only have a three car garage. I used the original formula ceramic paint coating and the original trim coating on that. It was my first attempt at coating and it is hard to imagine it being THAT simple, but it is. I did maintain it with ceramic boost every once in a while, but it was really easy to wash and always looked great.
     
    i also coated my Model S when I got it 18 months ago (9 months after getting the Equinox) and maintain it with either boost or ceramic paste wax. If I have the time, I go with the wax, I find it relaxing. The biggest headache with the Model S is the water runs off the hood so fast, it will soak my shoes if I don’t stand to the side!
     
    I haven’t coated my wife’s Volt because, dang it, I need something to wax more often. (Patriot on that)
     
    i did recently use the Ceramic Spray Coating, on my new riding mower. That was only a couple of weeks ago, but it sure does hose off nicely!
     
    The spray coating is quick to use, but has a shorter life than the paint coating, so you have trade offs to consider. If you want your regular washes to be easier, coat the Equinox, you won’t be sorry.

    Tim got a reaction from MichaelN in New Tesla Model 3 - What to use for glass?   
    I use the glass sealant on my Model S windshield and never have chatter. For the glass roof, I purchased a glass coating (another company since Adam didn’t have one last year) but today, I would use the spray coating on the roof and b pillars to help keep those cameras clean. Oh, and a bit of glass sealant on the backup camera really helps too.

    Tim reacted to Adam in Thank You for Your Smile...and Business!   
    Friends:  We started this shine-therapy forum over a decade ago!  Time sure does fly....doesn't it?
     
    Thank you for being here, and participating in this shine-crazy community.  Thank you for your business, and for voting for products you like and don't like with your dollars.  Thank you for helping us create better solutions.  Thank you for calling attention to areas or products we can improve.  Thank you for helping us grow this business exponentially, I'm humbled beyond words!
     
    Please, SMILE while you type....
     
    Thank you for not using this forum as a place to air negativity.  Thank you for always being respectful of other members, and our employees.  Thank you for  using detailing, your therapist, or exercise, or meditation to work through your issues, when you feel like life is tough.  Thank you for making AdamsForums a positive and pleasant place to hang out!
     
    In 2008, when we started this forum, we had 6 employees, and a few thousand customers.  Today, we have 125 employees, and over 300,000 customers.  One thing we have learned, for absolute certain:  WE ARE NOT PERFECT!  There was exactly one person who ever walked earth, who was perfect.  We are not Him.  We are not even close.  
     
    If you are feeling perfect, like your finish is 100% swirl free, and never needs cleaning or polishing, if you feel like your poop doesn't stink, like you walk on water, and are comfortable coming here to blast members or the company who pays to maintain this community, please, don't.    Need to get some negativity off your chest?  Find a dirty or swirled up car to detail.  Find a therapist, let out a primal scream, go for a run or hike, a mountain bike ride, go ski or snowboard if that's your winter kick, like it is mine! 
     
    There are many ways people like to get negative energy out. Blasting other members, or this enthusiast forum sponsor probably won't help you turn your frown upside down.  Please come, hang out, be kind, give and get detailing help, and understand:  We want to earn your business, but more importantly, we want your kindness. 
     
    Vote for the products you like with your dollars.  Don't buy stuff you don't like, but please, don't bash them.  If you cannot understand the marketing team's decision to bring on a particular product, you are probably not the target customer!   I have never watched TV, don't buy soda or potato chips, and don't follow sports.  Do I hang out bashing Coke, Ruffles, or slamming the Super Bowl?  Absolutely not, it's just not worth the negative energy!  (Plus, my kids, wife, and employees need me to be a positive influence.)
     
     
    So friends, I've instructed our incredible  Forum Leadership Team to permanently remove AF members who regularly post negativity.  Threads that are overrun with negativity are also going to be deleted, unless they offer detailing solutions or help to members searching.
     
    As the only AdamsForums sponsor, we want people to feel great about being here.  
     
    Thanks for your business, and your smile, and here is my Primal Scream, after getting this off my chest!

    Just soak those towels in hot water with microfiber revitalizer, it pulls all that crap out and restores the towels, just not necessarily the color.

    I used a borderless blue towel (yes, an older towel) to remove spray wax because I’m a rebel. I didn’t see any staining on that one, but that also could be because I’m colorblind.
