  1. Matt, do you know where you can purchase the Krud Kutter graffiti and road paint remover in a 32 oz bottle? I am only finding it in 55 gallon drums.
  2. I would like to see Adam's offer low profile microfiber cutting and finishing pads. After trying the ones you developed for "the other guys", I can honestly say I don't know if I would go back to Adam's current MF pads. Using a FLEX I felt like I had better control with it being lower profile, seemed to get better/quicker cut and found that I could machine polish in areas I couldn't get to before (i.e. partially under the door handles) reducing some of the hand work needed. Understanding there is logic to using both pad heights, maybe Adam's could offer both?
  3. It's not your Sealant. Your MF towel is linting. Most will tell you it's time for a new MF towel. I have found that the cheaper MF towels work better for removing quick sealant haze.
  4. I love the SVRT and would recommend it to anyone, however; I would not recommend it for use on running boards if you actually use it as a step. Yes they look awesome when you use it on them and I would even say if you dont use your running boards as a step, SVRT is the way to go. I had to stop using it on my wife's Tahoe because she insists on stepping on them to get in and she almost fell a few times. It does make them slick immediately after application (at least for a week or so). Once it soaks in and/or dries up a bit I would say you have nothing to worry about. I will say this: I dont want to discredit what Todd said because I have used SVRT on many vehicles and it acts differently on different plastics. Some plastics absorb it better than others and would be less slick or not slick at all. I think it just depends on the application. So if you want your running boards to look stellar and dont actually need to step on them, SVRT is the way to go. If you ride with others that use the steps (significant other, kids, etc.) and want to avoid a fall at all costs either avoid using it or knock it down with a microfiber after applying it. Either way, SVRT a must for your arsenal. You wont be disappointed.
  5. Agree. I used the APC on the wheel wells. Green Wheel on the wheels. Being brand new, it didnt require Deep Wheel.
  6. I have had success with doing a Dawn Soap wash a week after applying Quick Sealant. I fixed some halograms on a balck hood for a customer, sealed it, waited an hour and top coated with Americana. I beleive due to the high humidity that day I probably did'nt let the Quick Sealant cure long enough and some residual hazing appeared two days later, traped under the Americana. I brought the car back in and added Dawn soap mixed with some water and APC to a spray bottle. Covered the entire hood and let it dwell for about 15-20 mins. Followed that with a dawn soap two bucket wash. Dried the car and followed with IPA wipedown. Resulted in the complete stripping of the wax and sealant.
  7. Same here. Placed an order Friday morning and havent received an email either.
  8. It looks like as of right now you can only buy the pads in a 2 pack (same color), which I assume is in conjunction with the needs of the Cyclo. Will these will be offered for sale singly, for those of us that have the PC? Or in a two pack, one of each color?
  9. I just noticed that the 4" microfiber pads and the Cyclo are now available for sale on Adam's site. It looks like as of right now you can only buy the pads in a 2 pack (same color), which I assume is in conjunction with the needs of the Cyclo. Does anyone know if these will be offered for sale singly, for those of us that have the PC? Or in a two pack, one of each color?
  10. If it were me, I would figure out how to remove the console and then I would use the drill with the 4" pads or I would try the microfiber pads. I have never tried to polish these plastics myself but I have seen pictures others have posted using this method with great success.
  11. Just curious, I understand the logic but why would you want to ask someone to sign a waiver to clean their engine compartment? There is not to much you can hurt as long as you bag up exposed filters. IMO, you could do more damage detailing the interior and/or exterior of the car than the engine bay. (i.e accidentally dropping the polisher on the hood, kicking a ladder or step stool into the door trying to reach the roof, etc.) But to answer your question, I would just google waiver templates and work off one of those. For it to be legit, you may need an attorney to assist you to ensure all of your basis are covered.
  12. Awesome news! Man, the moon and stars must have aligned over there at Adam's Polishes. First Adam, now you...lol! Congratualtions!
  13. I just completed a silver car over the weekend (Flex) and had no issues with this. Did you by chance run the pad cleaning brush over the pads before you started using them? I did this and saw some loose fibers fly but that was it. It's nothing I wouldnt expect from a new pad, towel or of the likes. I know we are all just getting going with the new system so I am curious to see if similiar issues arise with anyone else, but I have done two vehicles now and have not experienced this. Keep us posted.
