  1. Just ordered my "kit". Perfect timing because I need to polish my truck pretty soon. Thanks!
  2. Update....Looks like the shutters are finally starting to need to be freshened up. It made it about a year, not bad! Ill be tackling this little project soon.
  3. I have heard of people doing that but I remember reading on here that under no circumstance should you ever do that. Maybe an Adams Team member can confirm that.
  4. That happened to a friends malibu driverside rear door window. It was covered under warranty because that specific dealer stated they had a few other vehicles come in with the same issue. You might want to try a different dealer, but you probably dont want to wait.
  5. Looks great! I need to try that on my explorers b pillars.
  6. Looks great! I did the same thing with the GM "chicklet" on my toolbox.
  7. Claying is a pain especially if you have a large vehicle. I do my truck about twice a year but am finding I should probably do it 3 times a year.
  8. If I'm not mistaken...the blue hex is abrasive and you wouldn't want to use that to apply wax or sealant.
  9. Nice job! That color rocks! Those bikes are amazing, I love the 103! We just took a trip on a few rented streetglides, same color. All I could think of was getting my adams supplies on it!
  10. This was the same experience I had with the clay bar... I started a thread about it and tried some of the tips suggested without much luck. I just thought it was normal for this clay.
  11. As these guys have stated, they might contain more fillers than other waxes in order to hide the swirls and imperfections better but that's all its doing is hiding them for a limited time. Brilliant glaze with help with that too. I would highly suggest reading the pinned topic in the waxing section titled " what wax is best for black paint?" there is a lot of good info in there.
  12. A good way to test if you need to clay is with a plastic bag like a sandwich bag. Put your hand inside and on a clean paint surface of your car lightly rub your fingers on it. You will feel all the contamination on the paint which the clay bar removes. Take your time, use plenty of clay lube and work in a # pattern to make sure you cover the whole surface. You don't want to miss a spot and have to do it again!
  13. You are really going to love that combo which is known as the "face melter". Be sure to post up pics afterwards. Are you familiar with the bag test for clay?
  14. From what I understand as far as longevity goes would be the sealant then American then buttery. So you'd want buttery to over the Americana.
  15. I'm about the same time for my fullsize truck. I think I need to be a bit more patient with a 2 bucket wash.
  16. ok thanks. I'm Curious as to what my truck would measure.
  17. Nice car! I cant wait till the day I get to specially order my car!
  18. Wow! Awesome car. I love the color combo of the exterior and interior. Under the hood is tastefully done too. Looks great!
  19. Looks great! I love Audis. Did you spray DWC over the entire car to decon the paint? Also what are acceptable paint/clear coat measurements? What are measurements you wouldn't polish? Thanks for the help.
  20. Word of mouth has worked great for me. What creates a problem for me is my work schedule. It's kinda hard to find a day that works for me and the customer. I also HATE neglected interiors, mainly carpet. Leather is easy for the most part. If I had more time to officially dedicate this to a "side business" I could easily get a full detail a week. To me that sounds good for as busy as I'd like to be.
  21. I've thought about putting one of those retractable awnings on the front of my garage but I'm not sure how the neighborhood association would like that.
  22. Ok, thanks for the tips from all. I need to start wearing gloves during details for many reasons. I'll also have to give an extra squirt of DS on my hands. Thanks again.
