  1. It's good to see the "upcoming" products I glimpsed during a visit to Adam's HQ last month coming to market. While I didn't bring a buffer home, a couple of products with hand-written labels resemble what's available here... Having seen them in action, I know they're GOOD STUFF and worthy of the Adam's brand!
  2. Given your stated parameters (i.e., daily driver, not a show car, freshen up only, white paint), I'd skip the BG and wax. You'll get better "bang for your buck" by going with Liquid Paint Sealant after you correct/polish the paint. BG provides an outstanding shine, but offers no protection. Wax provides a great shine with limited protection. Liquid Paint Sealant provides a good shine with great protection. If you're set on BG and/or wax, layer it on top of Liquid Paint Sealant for the best of both worlds.
  3. Sorry. Didn't post, but I also sent a PM almost an hour ago, at 1915 MDT.
  4. Obviously, confirmation is not required but, based on a recent visit to Adam's HQ, this is spot-on accurate. Some pretty neat things under evaluation at the moment. I recommend staying tuned for (potential) upcoming product releases...
  5. I'm not Team Adam's, but I know they usually DO host at least a couple of Details Clinics per year at Adam's HQ. They're generally posted in the Upcoming Events & Gatherings forum.
  6. Thanks to my good friend Adam for the great time I had today visiting Adam's HQ! After taking delivery of a topper for my "other" vehicle (2013 Toyota Tacoma) in Denver this morning, I continued northwest for a visit to Adam's HQ. Adam's Team member Ryan greeted me on arrival and took good care of me, helping me with great deals on several products I needed. It had been a while since I visited the "mothership," so Adam indulged me with a tour of ongoing bottling operations while mentioning some plans has for future expansion. I look forward to more frequent visits when they come to fruition... Got a chance to observe and try several upcoming products (chemicals and tools) Adam is developing - some GREAT stuff on the horizon! Enjoyed lunch with Adam in Louisville, while talking about a host of topics that spanned cars, business, family, and even a little politics. Got back from lunch in time to meet some other loyal Adam's customers. Left with some new products (in non-descript packages) to try. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Adam... THANK YOU! You've earned my trust and my business. I recommend Adam’s Polishes to anyone in the market for car detailing products and advice. I look forward to the next time we get together, my friend!
  7. My GT500 is far from a daily driver, but I get good results using a combination of Total Interior Detailer, LC, and GC.
  8. Finally took some pictures. They're Outlined White Letters but, as I said, they brightened-up nicely...
  9. Register at the event, with $20 donation to the Wellspring Community.
  10. Washed my truck this evening, using TRC on the tires and my rubber bed mat. No pics (sorry, but I was pressed for time), but I'm impressed with how it performed in both uses. Despite being relatively "clean," lots of brown grime came off the tires and the white letters brightened-up nicely. The bed mat was similarly "clean" when I started, but yielded muddy-looking suds as I scrubbed with a fender brush. Bottom line: TRC is much more effective than APC at cleaning tires/rubber.
  11. #3 for white letters here, on my truck, not the Shelby.
  12. Everything you need to know about caring for factory vinyl stripes... http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/13404-caring-for-factory-vinyl-stripes/
  13. +1. Everything you need to know about caring for vinyl stripes. Pics of your GT350, Robert...?
  14. +1 for Tarminator. Like the others before me, it works well for me but I've never had as big a problem as yours.
  15. Welcome back, Bill! The site and products have changed a bit but, as Tim said, most of the items you mentioned are still available... The applicators for which you're looking are listed on the BUFFING PADS & APPLICATORS page: ADAM'S RED WAXING HEX GRIP APPLICATOR ADAM'S BLUE HEX GRIP APPLICATOR (FOR REVIVE HAND POLISH) ADAM'S PREMIUM INTERIOR DRESSING APPLICATORS (2 PACK) Many of the microfiber towels you mentioned are listed on the MICROFIBER TOWELS page: ADAM'S SINGLE SOFT TOWEL ADAM'S BORDERLESS BLUE TOWELs are now GRAY ADAM'S MICROFIBER REVITALIZER & BRIGHTENER Most of the other chemicals you mentioned are also still available: PAINT CORRECTING & PAINT FINISHING POLISH COMBO ADAM'S DETAIL SPRAY ADAM'S GLASS CLEANER ADAM'S ALL PURPOSE CLEANER ADAM'S BRILLIANT GLAZE ADAM'S CARPET & UPHOLSTERY CLEANER Alas, Green Wheel Cleaner was discontinued, but ADAM'S DEEP WHEEL CLEANER remains available. When in doubt, try the site's SEARCH function (in the upper right corner of the page), and don't forget to use Promotional/Coupon Code SHINEON for 10% off your purchase.
  16. I went with four Feit 4' LED shop lights. They were $25/ea, on sale, from Costco. Instant on. Good light output. No hum. Of course, I still have a dual-head halogen setup when needed for detail task lighting.
  17. TID includes "special odor neutralizers kill unwanted smells." As with every Adam's product I've tried, I found it effective, but I've never had problems with really bad/strong unwanted smells. I've got primarily leather interiors, so LC is my go to for interior protection. It works and smells great, but doesn't address your fabric need - sorry. LPS is my go to for paint sealing. I supplement with HGG, and generally add BG & Americana or Patriot before car shows. Again, I don't think that really addresses your desire for "different levels of paint sealing" - sorry x2.
  18. All inquiries responded to. Tires still available. NEW PICS ADDED.
  19. New and Unopened 16oz Pumpkin Spice Detail Spray, free to a good home. (Recipient to pay shipping.)
  20. Thanks for all the kind words, guys! I've had mixed results with complaints to the BBB, but I figure it costs very little to send an additional copy of a (complimentary or critical) letter I'm already writing to a business manager/owner. I've done so for years and, in general, those receiving complimentary letters have been appreciative. My goal in this case was simply to highlight the great customer-oriented company our friend Adam built.
  21. Adam Pitale, Founder and President Adam’s Polishes 587 South Taylor Avenue Louisville, CO 80027 Dear Adam, I am writing to express my sincere satisfaction with multiple purchases and visits to your establishment. As a regular customer for the past few years, I’m never surprised by the stellar service your team provides, always going “above and beyond.” This letter is, in fact, long overdue. You and your staff are accessible virtually 24x7, providing expert product recommendations and advice, even on weekends and holidays. The always courteous and knowledgeable Adam’s staff is a refreshing change in today’s crowded market place. I greatly appreciate your fulfillment of special requests, like finding me good supplies of two recently discontinued products. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed attending several Detail Clinics at your Louisville headquarters. Where else can customers learn from master detailers while enjoying complimentary refreshments and solid discounts on great products? For all of this, I say Thank You! You have earned my trust and my business. I recommend Adam’s Polishes to anyone in the market for car detailing products and advice. Please keep up the great work! Sincerely, Steve (aka Norton)
