I tell people I have this under control, but it have Adams products hidden in nearly every room of my house.

I told my mechanic at work today, that I might have my crew use the 2 bucket wash system on all my golf course equipment. He looked at me funny and said I have problems.

I believe they're moving production elsewhere.   

Anyone out there looking for a Flex, I currently have 3 remaining in stock

Old units are great, and honestly, if they could be produced as fast as we could sell them, they would not have been discontinued!

It will be considerable higher than that.  It will be a much nicer unit, and will be more spendy indeed.

Nick,  Will it be in the $40 or so range or are we looking at something a lot higher in cost? When you are on a tight budget (like most) shelling out $50 or more for a nozzle can really hurt.

It will be better, that you can be sure of.  Some of the design details are still being finalized.  That's as specific as I will get until we get closer to the launch. 

Old nozzle was a nice, USA made unit!  We had a pretty high return rate due to self-adjustment.  About 20% of them did that.  Unscrew the stainless stud, fill with heavy bearing grease, re-install stainless stud!  That's all it takes, but that was just one of the issues.
 
The other issue was a very, VERY slow manufacturing time, and as was mentioned earlier, their main business is fire hose nozzles for the government.  Big $$$ items took manufacturing precedence over our small units, apparently.  We had as many as 200 on backorder at a given time.  Customers angry, not good!
 
New sprayer coming.......stay tuned!

You and I have been through many chapters at Adam's Polishes and I am grateful for all you have taught me.    Thank you for your dedication to the team, for always being available, and of course incredible new products.  You will be missed but I know you'll be massively successful in your next venture.  

Peanut butter.
 
Seriously peanut butter... Put a little on your finger, rub it around on the plastic. The oil will take whatever it is out (as long as its not paint overspray).

In the nearly 14 years since this small business was started, some cool things have happened.  I crossed the block with an Oldsmobile at Barrett-Jackson back in 2005, which sold for $4M.....accidentally! 
 
After becoming the official car care products of Corvette and Camaro, I was able to meet the Kirk Bennion, the designer, Dave Tatman , the plant manager, and Tom Hill, the quality engineering manager.  Had lunch and spent time with each of them!  There are other great people at the Corvette plant as well, but heck, how coll is that!?
 
Tom Hill recently, as in VERY recently retired from GM.   He only put in 35 years, but apparently, that was a good number for him.   He was hired by an incredibly well-heeled businessman, who has one of the most remarkable car collections I've ever seen.  Tom is now in charge of managing and overseeing the maintenance of the cars, most of which are Ferrari's.
 
Tom asked me to come out and help explain how working with old original paint goes, which products, processes, etc.   Certainly, it was an honor, and I had Chris Toth, one of our fine Moderators and friends, come on down to lend a hand.
 
We helped detail a 1939 Mercedes Benz 540K, and a 1959 Mercedes 300 S, both amazing cars.  The 540K was purchased for just under $7M in Monterey..wow!
 
While we had flights out this morning early, last night, Tom found himself in a pickle.  The new car garage, maybe a 12,000 square foot Garage Mahal, (it really is....google it) was about to be completed, and the cars needed to be moved back in, from a storage building that housed a collection of another well-to-to collector.
 
Tom asked if we could possibly stay an extra day to help drive cars.....and we said, "Heck Yes!"
 
It was a 5-mile drive through beautiful Windermere, Florida, and what a drive it was.
Well, here are a few photos, and I'll add more... 
 
It suffices to say, this NEVER happens to me, and today, I had to pinch myself to be sure I wasn't dreaming.....not once.....not twice, but three times!
 
Thank you Tom, and thank you Chris, for making Orlando Car Dream come true!
 
Vehicle list that I drove....we'll wait and let Chris talk about his list!

Love the rinseless wash.  We had a fairly good sleet/snow early in December along with lots of road salt.  Used coin car wash to knock off the big stuff...except wifes car used the 6 inches of rain in 24 hours plus her car was not driven in the mess.  Very pleased with the results and even put on a layer of wax to top the sealant already on the car.  Never done that before in December.  Thanks Adams!

Thanks everyone for providing your input. As Adam said, this is certainly helpful information that helps us gauge things and ultimately helps us improve your experience with our products and our service.
 
The survey has been closed for input. We will be putting a new survey up in the coming days to target a few more key information points we want to study.
 
Thanks again for your massively helpful input! We appreciate it.

Thank You My Friends!  We are striving to do better, and your input helps us massively.  Some of the raw comments were the best.  Don't hold back, you won't hurt our feelings.  Improvement is what we want, and clearly, we have a few dozen products in the line that are less relevant than we thought.
 
Again, THANK YOU!

It's funny I used to think the same thing as you, "holy smokes I've spent how much"  (say up to $400 at the time).   This was in June, I am now well over $1000, and have gallon refills for detail spray, waterless, car shampoo and all purpose cleaner.  Aside from the new polishes and the latest release of products, I pretty much have everything except for a few brushes and undercarriage spray.   Adam's has great promotions and great products, I've been able to save a lot when looking for the right deal, and as a result i have been a loyal customer since first trying the claybar/detail spray combo.  Also the community here is second to none, of any online forum I have been a part of this one seems to genuinely have the best mix of people.  Everyone is polite, no "douches", and you rarely get anything but positive support from the community.

Just ordered glaze last night along with other things. Think I've spent around 300 bucks in adams products in the last month. Now my adams supply is building up. My wife thinks I'm crazy. Maybe that why I like garage time. Got some VRT too, can't wait to use it.

Hey guys I have been stalking these forums and other forums and I have been craving some Adams products but I saw a lot of awesome reviews. I ordered a few things because of the cyber monday sale so I can try them out and I bought the 36 oz detail spray, thats the new formula right? a 11 x 11 wash pad which will replace my crappy auto zone one, severe swirl and haze remover, and the finishing polish which I gt for like 7 bucks each! I was going to order 4 single soft towels but there were out of stock. Any idea when they'll be back? Anyways, can not wait! I want to see what the products can do!

You guys are killing me.  First I buy the clay, then out comes the new clay like a week later.  Bought MSS last month and son of a....here is a new sealant.  Anyone else want to see a product upgraded?  I almost guarantee a new version will be on the way after I buy the old one.   

Geez you greedy buggers! 2 NEW PRODUCTS ISN'T ENOUGH!?!?

The tire product and nozzle are still a ways out, don't worry... we won't be announcing them soon. 

I say grow yourself a beard, then next month Dylan can unveil Beard 2.0!

To my undserstanding, none of the soon to be released products will be in Chicago.
 
I personally can't wait for these!  BOTH of the pictures Dylan posted...those products are NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE.

Brother....just you wait....you have NO IDEA!!!
 
You're misunderstanding the process, and how rinseless wash works.  The foam cannon is not used in this method.  A rinseless wash is done on a lightly soiled car, not a FILTHY one, where foam cannon is needed.  When the product hits, and the video launches it will all make sense.  But it's a basic, 2-bucket method, wipe clean, and follow with detail spray.   SUPER SLICK.  SUPER SIMPLE.  It will blow your mind......

Just in time for black friday...
