    blcksilv08 reacted to Mantis in Wash then Snow then Wash then Snow   
    Ok, 
     I know it's winter time and this is the time you must let go a little. BUT I have a huge hard time about doing so. I come home on Friday night, foam cannon and do a very nice exterior wash, dry, windows and vacuum. Then by Sunday it rains. Then by Wednesday it snows. I can't win. I actually leave my truck in the garage and drive my wive's Jeep when I have to run around. But I'll have to go back to work Thursday and then my baby will be all dirty again. 
     I just want a week or 2 I can keeper clean. Thats all I want.😞

    Most automotive interior shops are men who sew.  No insult there.
     
    Also, I was digging through my inventory last night and found 2 Adam's aprons brand new.  I think I'll put one on my site.  Most likely FREE with a purchase of another product!

    It’s a bit of a ride, but @Sizzle Chest (Scott) at Auto Dermatology is an awesome detailer that would be worth the trip to go to for services if he fits your needs/budget.

    blcksilv08 reacted to TheWolf in waterspots after ceramic coating   
    ^Agreed.  The worst spots are on the glass, which shows that the Ceramic Coating was somewhat effective in preventing the water spots from being as severe on the paint.
     
    I would guess that something is wrong with the water filtration system.  Assuming it is not deionized water, since this would not be used for a whole-house filtration system, then something else is getting past the filter system.  If the filter sustem is just a water softener, then the deposits would be sodium or potassium, but water spots from these minerals should be much easier to remove compared to the calcium and magnesium in hard water spots.
     
    If the water filter is using another resin for treatment other than hard water, such as nitrites or arsenic, then that resin may be the issue.  Some resins have to be replaced, unlike the resins in water softeners that are recharge with salt.
     
    The OP should have the water tested by the company that installed the system to see what is going on with the filter system.

    Not a mobile detailing cart but I use the Milwaukee packout tool storage system to move all of my stuff when going mobile. Works amazing!

    I'm glad they were able to get you sorted out with the polisher you needed!  That's quite the collection you have, I'm partial to the 68 Firebird but the E55 AMG cars are a ton of fun to drive. 
     
    And you're right about the polar blast, I live 1.5 hours from Columbus and it was -25 F with the wind chill today.

    blcksilv08 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!

    So I just purchased the Adam’s Ceramic Wheel Coating Kit! I am applying to a brand new Peterbilt, (polished wheels) I will post pics after finishing the coating, an a couple months after. From what I have read Adam’s appears to be the best ceramic coating on the market for DIY like myself.
