Team Adam's Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Winter is starting to take hold and for many of you this means some pretty low temperatures. As such its important that if you do decide to order that you make sure your packages get to you not frozen! Standard Ground Shipping, especially if it will be in transit over a weekend, means the packages will sit in a non-temperature controlled truck for a period of time. This latency will many times result in frozen product, but to avoid this there are a few things you can do: Order on Monday- Ordering on Monday ensures that the package will be shipping and arrive to you with no layover during the weekend and thus won't sit in a truck exposed to the low temps. Select 2nd Day Air- Packages shipped using this expedited shipping option will move on weekends and thus won't sit in the truck. Also the bulk of the transport is via jet in a controlled environment. Deliver to Your Office- If you won't be home to accept delivery change your shipping address to your place of business. A package left on a doorstep is all but guaranteed to be an ice cube by the time you get home if the weather is cold. Call Us- The Adam's team is always willing to come up with an option to help you get your products if you need them and in their non-popsicle form. If you're not sure about how your should order or arrange delivery call us and we can help make sure you get your order shipped in the best method to prevent freezing.

Dr Jkel Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hey Dylan, Since my items are stored in the garage and it is not heated is there a temperature range or minimum temperature I should store Adam's products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yeah, I lost a gallon of APC that I had broken up into recycled Adam's sprayer bottles. The bottoms of the bottles cracked in the heat and well.... Had a little discoloration in some WW too. Turned greyish. Still smells like a tropical mixed drink tho! I'm clearing a space in the house this weekend to bring all my product indoors. May have to get out the wheelbarrow for that load. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 All chemicals despise temperature changes, especially when they are below 45 or above 85. Hope this helps! I keep my polishes and waxes in the house. Everything else lives in the hot garage, but survives ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordgrey Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Bob, the previous formula of WW would do that, turn grey I mean. Doesn't affect its usefulness though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Bob, the previous formula of WW would do that, turn grey I mean. Doesn't affect its usefulness though! Thanks Nordgrey! Was wondering why it was the only product changing colors on me. NinefootNic (my homie) gave me a gallon of it when I first got into Adam's last year. I don't use it that much and have actually given a few bottles away myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric@thompsonracing.us Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Thanks Nordgrey! Was wondering why it was the only product changing colors on me. NinefootNic (my homie) gave me a gallon of it when I first got into Adam's last year. I don't use it that much and have actually given a few bottles away myself. I thought I was the only one! I received two cases (8gal) this summer and they came grey. I chose not to sell them cause they didn't match the 16oz color. I've been using them up on my own stuff. Works just fine!

Chewy Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 My snow tires and wheels are mounted... My car is NOW fugly! 17" wheels and high profile tires just look like poo compared to the 19" wheels and summer tires... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordgrey Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 That's one of the reasons I went with my OEM wheels for my winter tires. At least it looks half way decent! Of course finding 2x 225/45 R18 and 2x 245/45 R18 winter tires was an abject lesson in interweb searching! The selection is amazingly slim........ and PRICEY!!!

The selection is amazingly slim........ and PRICEY!!! Which is why I went with my size... Also, a higher sidewall is MUCH needed in the snowy months. These are 55 series and stock are 40 series 245's. Plus they don't make the WS's in the larger sizes. The WS's are always rated very high for the price and I can see why. http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=78553&postcount=6 Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluezey Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Got the snows mounted and put on the Caddy, like Chewy, I went with a 17" wheel and a sidewall, the pot holes are pretty tough on the 20" and rubber band tires. This is what I'm running; Bluezey:pc: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
