Yesterday and today I had the pleasure to use my latest Adam's additions. I started Saturday afternoon washing the G8 GT. I used about 1.5 ounces in a bucket of warm water with a grit guard. I used 2 BM w/grit guards. I poured the shampoo directly on the wash pad and filled the bucket with the new nozzle and hose. The fire nozzle went on a new 3/4" industrial grade rubber hose. (The hose is made in the good old USA, but the lovely Mrs. already tossed the cardboard hose wrap so I can't tell you the maker. Anyway, I got it at the local Menard's.) I connected the hose to the warm and cold faucets in my laundry room and played with the mix until I had it to about 80*F. The Y converter I used does restrict the pressure. Still, I was amazed at the stream the nozzle put out. Standing at the entrance to my garage I was able to hit the street over 50' away with the stream. WOW! I cleaned my car and left the shampoo on until I was done with the whole car (something I've never done with any other mfr's soap.) It rinsed off completely and left no film. A flooding rinse left nary a drop on the car. I dried her off with my WW WW towels.
This morning my wife's TBSS got the same treatment but with a twist. I used Barry's Ultimate Wash & Wax. I had nowhere near the suds and after doing the roof, windows and hood I had to get the hose out and rinse.
The pad still held a lot of soapy water and cleaned well, it's just that the Adam's Car Shampoo worked so much better.
So what do I think of my new additions?
Car shampoo: Made gobs of suds, smells great, cleans great and did not leave a water spot anywhere. All of my previous car wash soap purchases will go into the foam gun ASAP. (Mom and the neighbors will love me.) My next Adam's purchase: A gallon of car shampoo.
Fire nozzle: This thing is the real deal. It is solid, very well built and does what it's supposed to: puts out a strong stream to a fine mist with the twist of your wrist. If you're on the fence about buying one because of the price do yourself a favor and GET IT! You will not be disappointed. Be sure to get yourself at least a 3/4" diameter hose.
In the 25+ years I've been working on my vehicles finishes I've probably bought a new nozzle or two every year. What a waste of $$$
The fire nozzle is so well built I think my 2 y/o daughters will be fighting over it after I've passed away.
Professional wash pad: When I got this pad out of the box a couple of days ago I thought Adam's had sent me the Jumbo pad. I had to measure it to confirm the size. It holds copious amounts of water, cleans well and releases junk into the grit guard easily. I'm torn between getting another pad or the Jumbo.
My old MF pads and mitts are already being used for under the hood,door jambs, wheels and arches.
Thank you Adam for such great products and thank you Dylan for getting me hooked.
