ihaveacamaro got a reaction from Rick72 in All Purpose Cleaner for bugs and tar?
I find APC to be great at helping remove bugs off the front of the car.... much better than waterless wash imo, especially if the bugs have baked on.
Don't let it dry, and always wash and wax afterwards.

ihaveacamaro got a reaction from Greenskeeper in NEW Detail Spray Feedback.
Detail spray to clean light dust and for claying. Spray wax to protect, but not clean. Detail spray generally adds enough protection for a day or two, whereas a spray wax generally lasts two weeks to a month. I know of one spray wax that I tested that lasted two and a half months, but then again it's claimed durability was up to 5 months.
Me personally, I don't like the idea of having to clay with something with wax in it like the new detail spray. I doubt it affects the claying process but it just doesn't seem right.
Very true and I like that you guys keep it clean and simple. One of the best things about Adam's.
It just seems that you guys are really pushing that this new detail spray has protection in it whereas I didn't really see that marketed or pushed in the old detail spray. That's really where my entire two product point stems from.
For example, in the new detail spray here's a line in the description:
Extends Protection with NEW Wax Boosting Technology
The old one said this:
Enhance Gloss and Depth in Shine Keep Your Car Looking Just Detailed Great For Interior Detailing but nothing about protection. Judging from the descriptions placed on the new detail spray, I see it more as a spray wax than a detail spray. I have another manufacturer's spray wax that can be used for light cleanings, claying, drying aid, and adds a little protection as well. I see their product and yours as true competitors, even though yours is labeled detail spray. Either way, as more and more products have come out, the line between QDs and Spray Waxes has blurred and the two products do seem to be merging into one category. -

ihaveacamaro got a reaction from Chase@InsanePaint in New videos: Another way for you to get to know me!
Another thing about getting likes and views on youtube is that it also translates to google searches. Remember that google now owns youtube and that more and more videos are coming up as "results" to google searches.
For example, I just searched "Adam's Americana Review", and the fifth result is my video review. The first result and the third result are both reviews I posted on forums and guess what they do? They link straight back to my video!
Out of the first five results on google, three of them are mine. That in my opinion really shows the power of both forums and getting views and likes on youtube.
Hope this helps bud!

Good luck on the youtube endeavor! I have recently just hit 100 thousand views (only detailing videos, total views is a bit higher) and 400 subscribers on mine It took a lot of work and a lot of videos to get there.
If I may, here are a few things I learned over the past year:
1) Constantly uploading videos really helps! (Even before and afters work as good videos)
2) Average time most people will watch to is 2 minutes. Doesn't matter how long your video is. If you go to your YouTube dashboard, then analytics, then audience retention, you can see how much time people stay on your videos for.
3) Don't be shy to say something like "if you liked this video, please subscribe if you want to notified when I upload more". On mine, I always ask for a like rating and subscriptions. That's not because I want to see how many likes I can get or something like that, but rather because Youtube will rank your videos for their search engine. If someone searches waterless wash and your video has 2 likes and 100 views and another has 10 likes and 100 views, which one do you think will come up first? Coming up first in search engines means more views, and more views mean more subscribers, and more subscribers means more views! It's a big circle!
4) Most importantly, and it looks like you're doing this, but is to have fun making these videos! Never once have I felt like I was doing a chore making mine. As soon as making videos feels like a chore, I will stop.

OK, red is too much on the dark background. We'll work on that.
I prefer the white as well, but yes, both options will be available so you just choose which you like better.
Whatever skin you browse with last should be defaulted for you the next time you jump on so you don't have to change back and forth manually each time or anything.

ihaveacamaro got a reaction from Chewy in AdamsForums "Dark" is alive!
Have to agree, the red is a bit too bright and contrasting. Tone it down a little and it will be great

ihaveacamaro got a reaction from Greenskeeper in Foaming Sprayers
Glad you like them!
I am not a typical Adam's fan. I do try other products and am not loyal to one brand. I think that the best results come from using the best you can get from any company.
With that said, the foaming sprayers on Adam's sprayers are the best I've ever tried. I just got in my order of four empty 32 oz bottles and foaming sprayers

Don't hold your breath. Adam's has been on a good streak of releases lately. I'm sure they want to make sure those towels are absolutely perfect before they release them. Might be a while.

I did the search and wasn't able to find anything on this. I got some foaming sprayers while I was up there and they are the best I have come across yet, thanks to Ihaveacamaro for recommending them. I looked yesterday and today and didn't see them.

ihaveacamaro reacted to JBlack151 in New 2-Step Paint Correction System Discussion
I prefer not to go from polishing to sealant or glaze/wax with out an IPA wipe down or coat of Revive. Even with the new PFP as well and I've got about 5-6 uses out of it on various vehicles. I just don't want to take that risk regardless if the vehicle is white, black or any other color.
To me there are too many variables in ones technique/process to justify not doing a simple part to insure the paint is properly prepped for the next step.
Again, just my preference.

ihaveacamaro reacted to Team Adam's in Give in to the dark side.....
Agreed. The skin will be an optional selection you can default to, light or dark.
Thats racist
We started with the light coloring as the general idea is to match the aesthetic of adamspolishes.com
The dark is coming as a result of suggestions for people who like to browse in the dark, in a cave, on the moon, or are vampires who are adversely affected by the radiant light cast off their ipads.
