Tried the new Adams Titleist Golf Balls on a Challenger.  I did this after sealant, but prior to Americana.  I'm pretty happy with the results:

 

 

HGG may be the coolest thing invented since transparent aluminum! (anyone know that refernce without googling?)

In Scottish accent "Hello computer?"

Tonight I gonna pour one out for homey Dylan:

Yes, it should be a milky type liquid. It separates quickly, so make sure you're shaking it periodically while applying.

 

It used to be "Brilliant Spray Glaze", but the new formula has more carnauba, which doesn't play well with a sprayer. I've never used it with the pump top, but I can see how it'd be kind of a pain. If you have the pop top, use that. Just remember to close it before shaking it up...

 

One more note about BG, it goes a long way.

Ain't that the truth!    ...still haven't cleaned all the glaze of my garage ceiling.

Power of your hand is nowhere near as good as a machine.

Interesting, my wife tells me the same thing.

Hey Salena,

Saw another person from Fresno on here and got excited...then realized we've already met and got even more excited!  I use Rinseless fairly exclusively on my Challenger.  The Waterless Wash is also very good for touch ups an light dust.  If you haven't ordered some already, I can bring you a sample of the Rinseless Wash to the next C&C.

Very nicely done!  Even as a MOPAR guy, I gotta say I really like the current gen Camaros...and yours is particularly shiny!

Thank you for this.  It's good to know the proper way to clean those surfaces.

I tried the new Glass Cleaner out yesterday after washing my Fiat (with new blue soap of course).  Some initial observations are as follows:

- It cleans the glass really well (as it should).  I usually spray some on the glass and a spritz on a fresh portion of a glass cleaning towel.  Then I wipe down the section of glass.  I follow that with a separate dry glass cleaning towel to buff off residue and remove minor streaks.  It definitely cut through the haze that builds up on interior glass without effort.

- The scent is great...much closer to the original bright green stuff.  The TID colored batch of glass cleaner never quite smelled right to me.

- Streaking? None, nada, zip, zilch, zero.  I didn't have any real streaking issue with the prior Glass Cleaner. I believe that comes down to technique and dedicated towels.

- The only thing I noticed is that my on my second pass with a dry towel, my towel tended to drag noticeably more as tried to remove remaining residues/streaks.  Not a real issue by any means...that's just something that stood out.

- Color? Well, it doesn't look like TID anymore so that's good.  Looks a lot like APC though...so check your labels  :-)

Overall I see this an improved product for sure.  My glass was crystal clear when finished and the product slots nicely in the Adam's lineup.  Very easy and pleasant to use.  I feel like it delivers a true Adam's experience.

I have the same experience as OP and have been meaning to post this same thing for some time.  My original few bottles and gallon of glass cleaner were a bright green color.  The scent always reminded me of Sprite/7UP (essentially a fresh lemon lime smell).  The last gallon I purchased was the milky green (similar enough to TID that I've mixed them up before).  I know this was chalked up to aeration during bottling or something.  The scent of the milky green stuff was less pleasant and honestly smells like something that would be standard issue to the custodial staff at work, not an Adam's product.  It's very chemically smelling.  It should be labeled just "Glass Cleaner" and not "Adam's Glass Cleaner".  

Now, it seems to be equally effective in its ability to clean glass which is why I've never really commented.  It cleans glass just fine, but is somehow lacking in that overall 'Adam's Experience' now.  

Each time this topic comes up, it seems to be dismissed or the OP is basically being told they are not capable of differentiating their own products.  I don't know if the formulation or process has changed again since, but there was definitely a change.

Any chance of the being able to get just the labels for those of us that have a pretty good bucket collection already going?  

Beautiful!!  I love that car.   You did a great job.

I'll echo what others are saying. Spent probably around $2500 in the first 18 months.  After that, just maintenance purchases to keep stock filled, replacement towels, and whatever new products show up...works out to ~$500/yr.  

First the Flex returns and now Dyan?!?!  It truly is starting to feel like the old days. 

Also, this....

Even though I don't participate on this forum too often, I lurk and follow what's going on a whole bunch. When I started getting into detailing about two years ago Dylan was one of the elements that attracted me to Adam's. I enjoyed all of his video and forum contributions because his explanations are always presented in a way that answers the question while being easy to understand, even for a novice. I'm a dedicated Adam's user and respect all of the staff no matter what but Dylan's departure definitely left a bit of an empty feeling. So very glad to see that he is back on the Adam's team!

 

Nice job.  Nice car.

'Merica, F#%K Yeah.   

Used the new Tire Shine on the 392's Goodyear F1s.  I really like the results.  VRT make your tires looks new for sure.  However, this new Tire Shine makes them look 'showroom new'!  The shine and deep black make the tires just visually pop.  When applied with the foam applicator the shine is not obnoxious at all. No sling that I could see.  

This is truly one of the pieces that helps give your ride that 'new car' appeal again.

Used mine for the first time today.  It was definitely easier to get behind the spokes and into hard to reach areas.  I worthwhile improvement for sure.

Beautiful car! I will never tire of looking at shiny Challengers.     

Man, I love Challengers.  Your hard work shows.

Came through on The Facebooks today.  Very true.

I was fortunate enough to find myself in a position to get one of these babies about a month ago.  She's a Plum Crazy 392 Challenger SRT and she's a beast!  Right now she's rockin' a coat of Quick Sealant and some Patriot Wax.  Here's a few shots in various states of shine:

Nice job! Nice Chally!

Well, at least when the day comes you have to sit on the porch polishing your shotgun, you'll have the proper skills and products.

I think there's another thread like this out there.

To your question, maybe 100 bucks last month but about 2500 - 3000 to build out the whole collection over a couple years.  Like many have said before, you find yourself spending A LOT in the beginning and then it tapers off. The rest are "maintenance purchases" as I like to call them.

My wallet basically had Chernobyl style meltdown the first year.
