Here in Massachusetts (Foxborough to be exact) every other Thursday though the summer into the fall the MassCruisers Auto Club hosts a massive event at Bass Pro Shops in the same complex as Gillette Stadium. Average turnout is 1500-2000 cars, and a few thousand people walking the show as well. One of the great parts of this show is the club asks that any show vehicles bring a non perishable food item to be donated to local food banks. Anything and everything is welcome, from VW bugs to McLaren 720s, and everything in between.

I agree, best cruise night anywhere around here! Its a great location and brings beautiful cars from a few states!

38 pin yes. I believe I have an OBD cable also, do you have the round 38 pin port under the hood. I am not sure you can access all the modules/computers through OBD? I will never be able to use the Star Diagnostics to its full potential (coding, marrying components). I have done 8 of my 11 hydraulic cylinders (sent the one bow to top hydraulics). You can buy the seals for about $26 dollars a cylinder but you have to buy them in pairs so $52 about for 2 cylinders. Need Mercedes fluid, and you should flush the system. Hit me up here or there if you need anything. Same username everywhere.

Nice color for sure. I am in Brockton, and you?

Are you On benzworld? It's where I get most of my help and information.

I also have a star diagnostics if you are ever in a bind!

Dont know about the MSS but awesome car to apply it to! I love my SL500, got a 95 myself. 

Mine is a 2000 sport with the 18" AMG wheels. They are the best bargain in the used car market if you are mechanically inclined or have a good friend who is. I wouldn't recommend them to someone who has to bring them to a dealer. They are a dream to drive!

Yes this is the old Machine Super sealant not the new. I know the new can be applied by hand!

Not sure about the MSS though?

I have had shoulder surgery on both shoulders in the last year. I want to apply machine super sealant to my 2000 SL500. I can not use my polisher with my shoulders. I had a hard time washing my car. Washed it one day iced my shoulders, clay bar the next day, iced my shoulders. I want to seal it but need to do it by hand. I didn't want to do it and find out I made a mistake.

Thanks in advance

Welcome from a Brockton MA member. Where are you?

I agree and I've never used VRT on any of my dashes I do believe it is too glossy although you can knock it down with a microfiber and it's not too bad but thank you

I have recently acquired a very nice condition Mercedes 2000 SL500. These cars are notorious for the plastic interior parts deteriorating due to the sun making them brittle. I have already replaced a couple of the parts and I am waiting for my two sun visor mirrors to come in at a cost of $125 each. Would heavy coats of VRT help to prevent the brittleness or does anyone have any suggestions on a product to preserve these interior plastic pieces.

Sorta' like why does the gas pedal in my car allow it to go 155 before the governor restricts it, when the max speed limit in my start is 70?

 

At some point the customer needs to be held accountable; not the machine, the distributor or the manufacturer.

Sorry but I have to disagree with this statement! I have a couple of thousand dollars in Adams products and the products and customer service has always been fair.

I don't think "At some point the customer needs to be held accountable; not the machine, the distributor or the manufacturer" Is the type of reply Adams would post?

In the day and age of warning labels on everything I would think if the product can't handle speeds higher than 4 for extended periods of time maybe they should put a warning on the pad or package?

I see they have already replaced a couple of peoples pads which is what I would expect from them.

Have a nice day, just my humble opinion!

I have a bunch of those and mine too are linting bad.

I have plenty of the old machine super sealant so that is what I'm asking about if it matters. Riding the bike I kill plenty of bugs. Can the sealant be used on the headlights to make them easier to remove or would quick sealant (I bought a few cans before it was discontinued) be a better product or I am open to suggestions. Would either work on the plastic/lexan windshields for the same reason?

Thanks

As you can see this is a Road Glide with the dual headlight with plastic of some sort lens.

Welcome from Brockton MA, where in MA?

My 2000 Screaming Eagle Road Glide was stolen 6 months ago (was original owner). I am picking up a new bike in a few months and have a question. My last bikes engine was the raw aluminum finish. Most likely the new bike is going to have the black wrinkle on the engine, transmission, and cylinders. What product to keep that looking new and can handle the heat?

TIA

Older picture, working on it again. Winter is here!

I love the quick detailer for my wheels but this grill is where its needed. Suggestions?

After reading this I just purchased 4 cans online. Love it for my wheels and grill of my truck! I found it for $14.95

My 2012 Silverado LTZ came with the factory chrome clad 20 inch wheels. They DO NOT hold up to winter road salt. I purchased a set of take off Z71 wheels for the winter. I wash my chrome clad wheels just like I wash my paint (carefully). At the beginning of the season I give them a good detail on the tailgate before installing them and for the rest of the year I just wash, blow dry, and if needed a little detail spray. I have found the plastic chrome scratches easier than any chrome plated steel or aluminum wheels I have ever owned.  

At the beginning of the year my before installation detail consists of a good wash and blow dry. I then use Turtle wax chrome polish. I have most of Adams products but have never tried Adams chrome polish and am sure it would work as well as everything else they have. I am just saying what I have used and what works for me. My rims have sharp little inside corners that are difficult to clean. I have also found that if I don't get that dirt/stain out of those corners it can pit or damage the finish. After I get them good and clean buffing and polishing with a single soft I give them a good treatment with quick detailer. They have held up well and still look new after 3 years. Not sure that would be the case if I used them in the winter with road salt.

Are you near trees? Green worm poop?

I feel your pain. I sweat. My friends say I sweat just looking at tools (nice friends). I dry with a master blaster with a towel wrapped around my neck.I work from the center of the roof, hood, and deck lid to the outside so if I do drip it is on a still wet area. I have more of an issue when I am buffing, waxing, and LSP. I try to do my detailing on cooler mornings?

Ive tried twice to buy 2. Keeps saying shipping info not available. I have emailed them about this problem with no response, I guess unless I call I can't buy these towels?

Mine is also cracked. I'll post a picture later.

I just got a Gilmore and it works great. Some parts are made in China but I don't know of one that is made in the US.

I got mine here and with the coupon code the price can't be beat and the shipping was FREE and really fast. This one has the brass connectors.

Thanks, code worked. Cheapest I could find it anywhere with shipping.

I've bought a lot of used Snap-on off of eBay.  You have to look around and often have to play the bidding game but sometimes you can find great deals.  Of course this doesn't help when you need a tool for the project you're working on.  That's where Sears used to be great because you could just walk in and buy it off the shelf.

used is my first choice also.
