LOVE me some VRT!

[BoCRon]

So I'm leaving in 2 hours for the annual HUGE MINI get together at the Dragon in NC/TN. I ordered my first Adam's products last week, and they arrived on Monday. We had terrible storms on Monday so I really didn't get to do the detail I would have liked, but no worries. Anyway, last night in the middle of packing, writing notes, etc, I decided to do the glass with the sealer and try out the VRT. I took my iPad out to the garage and set it up on the desk and watched the instruction videos while I worked (in my jammies and slippers!) Anyway, the glass sealer was very easy to do. I haven't gotten to test it out yet, but based on the forecast I will soon enough. The VRT was fabulous, I did the tires and a bunch of the trim. Everything just pops. My only problem is that the hexagonal sponge that I ordered is just way too big for most of the MINI, but I'll save it for my husband's truck. I ended up using a crescent shaped sponge that I bought at some auto parts place a long time ago.

Anyway, I ended up packing the glass cleaner and the VRT to take along I loved it so much. They have detailing stations set up by "competitor" so I will have plenty of opportunity to spread the gospel!

Since the hex tire sponge is too big you can take the block sponge and cut it into small sizes. Works great for super low profile tires and tight areas.

What Dan said. The cut block sponges up to fit whatever spaces you need to work.

My cousin is getting married two weeks from now not but 25minutes away. I just cant see making the trip twice within a few weeks, Shes going to get an earfull for not setting her wedding day during the dragon.

 

And yes, i do agree that the hex pads are much too big for our Mini's i can make due now but will have to come up with something else for when i get it lowered:banana:

Also Adam's dealer Detailer's Domain carries these sponges: http://detailersdomain.com/carcareproducts/wheelandtires/UberLargeBlueApplicator.html

 

These are the sponges Adam's had for tire sponges before upgrading to the Pro tire sponge. They are great for low profile tires. Just cut them in half and they work perfectly.

SVRT is one of my favorite products! Have fun!

I'm also a big fan of the SVRT... saving up for the gallon refill.

I always used Meguiars Insane shine on my tires, but recently I tried the SVRT and I don't think i'll be using Meguiars on my car any more.

[3PedalMINI]

i love a high gloss tire and from the pics and vids i just dont see it being shinny enough for my likings. The only megs in my cabinet is the purple grape smelling tire wet

[Chris@Adams]

Two applications of SVRT will give your tires a little more shine, if thats what you are after!

[BoCRon]

I'm not big into shiny since it wouldn't last long around here. I'm kind of going for a stealthy look with my new MINI .

 

Here's a shot from the Dragon,

I used SVRT for the first time yesterday. I loved it. Tires have the just perfect amount of shine. The trim looks factory again, it doesn't look shiny or greasy it just looks "right"

[Shimy86]

does it collect dust on the trim???

If you asking if the tires attract dirt like the silicone-based dressing do - NO!

SVRT on the trim does not attract dust any more than the paint does.

[BoCRon]

The cabin we were staying in for the week of MINIs on The Dragon was off a gravel road and driveway. I didn't notice any more dust on the trim than anywhere else (mostly the back of the car collects dust, a "dirty boot" is a common MINI complaint).

The trim on the sides and front were fine.
