  1. are those the same caps as the old ones??? they look different.

     

    They are different than the original push-pull caps, which were discontinued when the company who made them went out of business.   Dangit!   These are stock caps now, and they work well with all liquids.    There could be an upgrade to this cap in the somewhat distant future......  but not likely a return to the pumps!!   :cool:

  2. I learned a lesson on buying gallons... Only buy the stuff you use a ton, just because a gallon is cheaper in the long run sometimes its not always cheaper... I have a gallon of Undercarriage spray that I haven't even opened and it's probably 2 years old. But stuff like soap is different, it's used every time you wash your car (as undercarriage spray is not).

     

    Well put!  Buy car care products like you are buying MILK!   More because it's cheaper isn't better.  Especially if it ends up expiring.

     

    Another aspect:   We upgrade chemicals often.   Some big ones coming soon.  Overloading on chemicals can be a bummer, especially when you have 3/4 of a gallon of X product, and we re-vamp it!

     

    As for offering concentrates: Great idea!  We have tried that a few times over the past 15 years.  Since the majority of our customers are end users, in their garages, we had problems.  Using full strength.  Mixing improperly.  Also, not using distilled, R/O, other pure water makes chemicals act terribly.  That's asking much of many weekend warriors.

     

    Also, we continuously mix product while it's being filled.   Otherwise, the concentration is frequently inconsistent.

     

    My point:  Dilute a bottle of Rinseless 80% with tap water, and give it a try.  Then, dilute 80% with reverse-osmosis water, and you will be BLOWN AWAY!  The difference in water is so wide, and people often had issues, which we eventually nailed down to the water quality, or mixing system.

     

    Still, when it comes to degreasers, like All Purpose Cleaner, if we sold concentrate, and it was used with high-mineral content water, like anyone with a well, or who lives in the desert, it will not rinse clean.  White residue from the minerals in the water are a drag!

     

    Some of our international distributors certainly get concentrates, and we go through the education process on getting pure water, and effectively mixing.

  3. We will certainly have those nozzles available for purchase, as customers have damaged theirs, driven over them, etc, or just want extras.  I will say that the fan setting on this nozzle is not super wonderful amazing....but good.

     

    As a standalone sprayer, I'd give this one a 7/10.   Soon, there will be a SUPER nice nozzle, but it will be expensive.

     

    Thanks, and stay tuned!

  4. Friends, I failed to test the red dispenser pumps on the Brilliant Glaze, Paint Correcting Polish, and Metal Polishes.  We started sending bottles out with them installed anyway.  Fact is, they work terribly.  Awfully. Bad.  And I'm not overstating this performance failure.  These caps are a BAD fit for several products, and I owe you an apology for sending out a product without testing the method that dispenses it.

     

    The pumps work okay with some products, like VRT, Leather Conditioner, Shampoo,  Buttery Wax, Liquid Paint Sealant, and Rinseless Wash.  (Some hate the pumps altogether, and I can understand that.)

     

    I apologize for not spending more time testing these pumps.   We don't often have failures of this level, and this was a big one. I blew it, and I'm sorry to have made your detailing experience less awesome.

     

    So, now it's time to make it right.  Here is a link to the dispenser caps, which have an official price of $0.99 for 3 caps, which includes shipping.

    HOWEVER:  If you have any product with a pump, and don't like the way it performs, we will send you replacement push-pull dispenser caps, FREE! 

     

    Kindly use the code, "CAPS" which will make the purchase free. 

     

    Have thoughts on this?  Post away!   Care to email me personally on this?  Adam@AdamsPolishes.com

     

    Thanks, I again apologize, and appreciate your loyalty.

     

    Sincerely,

  5. Pumps are TERRIBLE on Brilliant Glaze and the Metal Polishes.  PLEASE shoot us an email with your address, and I'll get you dispenser caps, immediately!  Include your address, please.  orders@adamspolishes.com

     

    They are nice with Shampoo, VRT, and with Leather Conditioner.....the rest, not so much.  

    ABSOLTUELY TERRIBLE with Brilliant Glaze, I agree, and apologize like crazy to everyone.  They also cost way more than the dispenser caps, we just blew this one.  

     

    I am sorry, and please friends, let us send you new dispenser caps!

  6. Great shots, and bugs are a bummer!   Here is what I do:  Blast them with Waterless Wash 20 min before starting the wash process.  Then, after washing the wheels, and the rest of the vehicle, go after those stubborn guts with our Wash Pad.   The WW will soak into the guts, and make them easier to remove.
