Captain Awesome

I loved my WS6. I still miss that car. Sorry to hijack the thread, but her are some photos of her. First two are when she was new and last one is just before I sold her.

I'm guessing you saw the thread where I asked the China or Korea question yesterday, but it's been talked to death on here.

probably. I was just caught off guard because I thought everything Adam's sold was made in the USA. This was one of the contributing factors for switching to and continuing to purchase from Adam's. But I guess Korea is better than China. I am glad to hear the standards that Adam's has set for the two towel suppliers.

You don't clean your wheel wells first?

I do, but there is still dirt on the tires and some residue on the wheel house liners. And I don't like getting undercarriage spray on myself.

Was reading through another thread and saw someone say that the microfiber towels Adam's sells aren't made in the USA. I went on the website and looked through all the towels and applicators and there is no mention of them being made in the USA. Is this true that they aren't made in the USA?

how about a foam brush to spread undercarriage spray in the wheel wells so i dont have to get my hands and arms dirty

Low profile fender brush to clean cars with narrow wheel wells or lowered cars.

Nope, grey utility towels.

Something similar to SVRT for interior trim. SVRT is too glossy for me for interior use. I really have to knock it down when I use it. The level of gloss is perfect for exterior plastics.

Leather conditioner that has a scent that last longer than 3 days and isn't glossy at all. Adam's Leather conditioner is one of the few products I have not been impressed with.

Polishing compounds that work better with the PC. Can't stand how long it takes to get good results with a PC.

Wash pads in mitt form.

A heavier (I don't know what the correct word is) clay bar. I really dislike how long it takes to clay a car.

Thanks everyone. I am really impressed with MP 1 and 2. Much better than a certain "parents" polish I was using before.

Polished up the exhaust tips on my car today. I always wash them when i wash the car, but it was definitely time for a polishing.

love adams glass cleaner. i was so impressed the first time i used it. i literally couldnt tell my windshield was still there, i was amazed how well it cleaned the lcd in the dash too.

I've shown this prototype interior quick detailer before. Its actually been the only product I've used on my truck since it was purchased. Since the Equinox is pretty much spotless inside I figured it would go the same way.

oh, tell me more!!

In and Out Spray works perfect for the hard to reach areas like A/C vents. Try it out!

I was referring more to areas that are small, but I don't want any product transfer or in and out over spray, like window moldings for example. But I do love In and Out spray; one of my favorite products.

I would like to see smaller brushes for vents and crevices... The lug brush is just too bulky to get in the vents really well.

I went to Michaels and bought paint brushes for this and for applying SVRT to small areas.

I'm sure there is some sort of legal action you can take against the selling dealer seeing as it was advertised as "perfect" (or whatever adjective they used) and not "perfect except for differential which needs overhaul".

I would imagine that dodge will end up paying the bill or a good portion of it in the end. GM does a lot of goodwill warranty, or at least the dealership I used to work at did.

Try using a mixture of Adams shampoo and water in a sprayer instead.

I will have to try this. I like what GWC does to brake dust, but I don't want to have to wax my wheels every other wash. I will save the GWC for when it is time for another coat of wax.

So, we are the only company out here that will back up the product, machine even, with the 110% Money Back Guarantee.

 

Will Napa do that? Will they tell you to refer to the manufacturer after the 90 Days? Will the Manufacturer tell you no once the year is up?

 

That's in part what makes this company so great. We are willing to back that baby up even outside the typical warranty time period. Have you however, looked into the Flex polisher?

Wait a minute, so you're telling me if I buy a flex from you and it takes a crap, say two years down the road, you will replace it for free?

GWC 70% to 30% water.

How does wax/sealant on the wheels hold up to this? I love the results of green wheel cleaner, but it removes a good portion of the Americana I put on my wheels when I use it at full strength.

You would be better off locating an AEM Dry Flow filter (now owned by K&N) than the traditional oiled K&N. The Dry Flow filters have been shown to ot only filter better than oiled filters but also allow for higher air flow as well. They can both be cleaned allowing for a lifetime of use, but not having to re-oil is a time and headache saver.

 

Having said that I run the AEM Dry Flow filters in both of my TBSS's, but still run a K&N in my DD Xtreme (it's been in there for 10 years with periodic cleaning and re-oiling). The only problem I've ever had with a K&N was a little excess oil making its way onto the MAF sensor which resulted in some harder than usual shifts. Easily resolved, but a common issue nontheless.

Dry filters > Oil filters.

If you do end up with an oiled filter though, look into Green filters. they make cleaning kits for every color of filter and they claim their oil is MAF safe.

Dilute = Less Effective.

 

Yes, but sometimes you don't need full strength to get the desired results.

Concentrated Adams product would be fantastic! Then everyone can dilute it to whatever concentration their hearts desire.

can you make it so when you click "add to cart" it doesn't take you to the cart, rather you stay right where you are?

good stuff. anyone else?

done right

So what products do you dilute and what ratio? The only thing I dilute at the moment is APC at 50%. This cleans almost everything, but if it doesn't, 100% does.
