Wow, nice work man! I love reading your updates. How much are you charging these folks? That's a ton of work to be pro bono

Haha, yes and I have read that epic here in the forums. One of the greats really. You've got the Mahabharata, the Iliad/Odyssey and the Adam's Story: Early days.

Doing the weekly 2 bucket wash, this time with my visiting 9 y/o nephew. After what felt like a 1,000 point Q&A session while showing Tommy how to properly use products like car shampoo, under carriage spray, quick sealant & detail spray (some of the strongest smelling stuff) he says, "Here is what I think about the Adam's stuff: I like that they sell good stuff. Like when you wash your car, it gets REALLY shiny again. But most of all, I think they should re-name themselves to the Flavor Company. I could fall asleep smelling the detail spray."

good to know! thanks man:hi:

My uncle visited from out of town with his DD. I surprised him with a hit of the 3 step polish followed by BG and quick sealant for a happy (less bug-guts filled) ride back. BEFORE AFTER

GM is in my blood, but really I think that the Adam's products is what is giving the GM logo more credibility/endorsement LOL

"Adam's Official Car Care Products of Dacia Sandero" Looks like a banner to me! LOL

congrats! immense news!

i WISH that was the case

Thanks for all the support guys. Sorry about not putting the update pix- sundown got me again!

Thanks for all the advice guys. We have a shared driveway. Although the kids were warned many times before not to play by the Camaro, they don't listen. The parents have suggested they can help i.e. they know a guy who has paint and can do cars....you can imagine how strong my, "no thanks" was to that. I cannot judge others' parenting but the kids were out again the very next day, albeit a few yards away from the now mended Camaro. They have been stiffing the land-lord 6 months on parking (their vehicle is a rust bucket & can't be moved). They are on government assistance & have no credit, no insurance etc. The land-lord already told me not to waste my time with these people and offered his sympathy for the damage. I was offered a different parking space along the driveway but it makes no difference.

I appreciate the advice!

@Savi01 - the kids will be kids I guess. It's the cost of having nice things

Yes - I bought my touch-up pen+brush while on a service visit at the dealer. It was $18.

To my dismay, I walked up to find my baby loaded with scratches and dents yesterday morning. The neighbor children were riding their Razor® scooters down the driveway & using my camaro as their marker for the end of the race. I guess they hadn't realized what they were doing but dear god - they got every pannel, save the roof & pilars. The Razor® scooters are aluminum & the camaro is famous for sensitive/bad paint. I got a quote for professional repair of $3,000 (apparently the tri-coat paint is $500 alone). The family is a low-income family and there is no way I am even seeing $3 much less any help with covering the deductible on an insurance claim this large. (advice?) I did what I could. Upper front fascia: Lower front fascia: and this guy goes all along the door right to the back: A little Adam's elbow-grease masked the damage. For the deeper scratches I had to use another brand's heavier compound & follow with the Adam's treatment*. Finally, I hit the still visible spots with GM touch up paint. The damage I could not fix were the dents and impressions. The car has never been paint corrected but I assume when I get it back from the shop I will have to do it. Today, I strip washed with Dawn, clay bar & then moved to the Adam's restorative products. *I focused only on the scratched areas using the 4" pads. Also, I ran out of day-light so I only got to apply severe swirl and haze. To protect the car I used a can of Quick Sealant. AFTER pics soon
