    Adam got a reaction from Dan@Adams in HGG - not for me   
    Great input here!  This is a tricky product and we should have clearer instructions.  Direct sun makes it work poorly.  Sometimes, on darker finishes, it can look streaky if it dries too fast.
     
    Also, the product separates, so here is the crazy process I use for making sure the solids are removed from the straw, so the sprayer works correctly:
     
    Remove the sprayer from the bottle, and spray the product in the straw back into the bottle. Screw on the shipping cap.   Shake the H20 like crazy.    Remove cap, install sprayer. After washing the vehicle, which is ideally COOL to the touch, and not in direct sunlight, spray two panels with the H20.   Don't just kind of spray it, give the sprayer a fast, hard tug so the product comes out of the bottle in a fine mist.  If you barely pull the trigger, the product won't atomize well, and will spit out.
     
    Immediately hit those two panels with a damp Double Soft or Gray Edgeless towel.  Follow with a clean premium microfiber towel, polishing to perfection.
     
    Under the following circumstances, the H20 is tricky to use:
     
    Hot temps, direct sunlight. On a finish that hasn't been clayed and polished in a while. When the H20 was used in the past 3-4 weeks.  
    I've been using the H20 every third or fourth wash.  On my white Jeep, I rarely even wash it now.  Since using the H20, a pressure washer is just about all I need.  Nothing sticks to it.
     
    That said, I totally see how some users have issues with this product, as what I've just spelled out isn't spelled out well enough in the video, or on the label.
     
    Remember, our 110% unconditional satisfaction guarantee is there for things like this, and we are learning from you!   Thank you for your raw and excellent reviews, please keep them coming.

    Adam reacted to PHOKUS in "Tote"ing your gear-in what?   
    Sure do.
     
    The bag is made by a company called Thirty-One, and my wife is a consultant for them. She heard me curse my towel stack for what must have been the 50th time and surprised me with that bag. The bag can be ordered with custom embroidery like what you see on mine. The wire frame on top is quite sturdy, and standing inserts can be purchased to make the entire container semi-rigid. I did not go this route because as the bag empties, the entire bag gets shorter, taking up less room.
     
    The materials seem very strong. It appears to be some variation of a thick nylon, similar to what a heavy-duty backpack would be made of. The top-edge wire frame is slightly smaller than an average drinking straw. So, pretty thick. The fitted top has 3/4" elastic bands in each corner which keeps the top secured but it's fairly easy to remove as well. All in all, I am very happy with the bag. It keeps the unwanted dust out whilst allowing me to access towels quickly.

    I have used the wet method countless number of times, my gallon is only 1/4 full.
    I stopped doing wash/clay/wax for customers, and instead do wash/clay/HGG now.
     
    After washing with Adams Car Shampoo, then clay or speedy prep rinse car again, when rinsed well, I just knock off a little of the water that is on the vertical surface of the vehicle. DO NOT PERFORM A POOLING RINSE! The HGG needs water to be activated in order to work.
     
    After rinsing (In the shade), apply 1 panel at a time, about 1 spray for 3 square feet. Shake the bottle well. After I've sprayed the panel (pull trigger fast and flip your wrist at the same time to mist across panel being worked), I then go to my wet towel bucket, which has two towels in it, both are plush microfiber (Double Soft).
     
    Wring out one of the towels and spread the HGG which has now activated with the water. The plush microfiber will spread the HGG and absorb most all of the water left on the panel, you'll know it's done correctly when it "disappears" into the paint, put the "used" towel back in the water bucket underneath the "fresh" one. Then dry any remaining water with dry plush microfiber. Continue process over entire vehicle. Swapping the towels out also eliminates staining on them from HGG. Also keeps towels from getting clogged with product. Give the bottle a couple shakes each time you spray a new panel.
     
    If you have any streaks after you've finished the vehicle, simple take one of the wet towels and lightly spread the un-activated HGG, dry with dry towel. 
     
    If your working in a hot ambient temperature, and water is drying on the car too fast, use a spray bottle with water, to mist the panel first so the HGG can activate.
     
    Streaks come from not enough water on the panel, as well as using too much HGG.
     
    The results from HGG and the minimal amount of time required to apply are simply amazing. I haven't had a single customer who disliked the way the paint looked after I was finished.
     
    Want to really get it done fast? Have a friend, spouse, or significant other use the dry towel while you spread with the wet.

    Adam got a reaction from Ryans09G8 in Apology: Dispenser Pumps on Brilliant Glaze STINK!   
    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. 
     
    http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-new-dispensar-pull-cap.html?___SID=U
     
    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,
