The Things You on Other Forums

[TR6speed]

I am on the Corvette Forum daily, but yesterday a member posted a questions on how to prevent scratches ans swirls on black paint when washing the car. Many of the replies were very good about the 2 bucket method. I did a complete write up on how I wash mine and of course I mentioned that Adams is the best products going for maintaining a great looking vehicle.

There were those that said that they never wash their car, just detail spray and micro fiber towels that they get at Cosco. It is scary to think what some of these cars might look like in person.

I have mentioned Adams on that forum for as long as I can remember (well for the last 6 years) and never had any problems. Actually there are a lot of Adams users on the forum and talk about the great products. One thing is none of us ever put down another vendors good. We simply say they are good products, but we happen to think Adams is the best as far as we are concerned.

 

I used to read more on CF but now only participate on there occassionally, too much of the usual forum bickering. You would think that since the forum is all Corvette fans they would have that in common... but noooo... they fight about which vette model is "best", which tire is "best", which paint protection is "best", which avatar is "best"... of course they don't all do it, but unfortunately some of the biggest contributors are also the ones doing the negative fighting so the few apples ruin the barrel for me. Wish they could just voice their opinions without having to be "right". Reminds me of the recent thread here on Adam's about arguing with people who think they are always right!

 

Love this forum. We can express our opinions and respect each other for that. We can admit when we are wrong or when we don't know everything.

A few years back I said something about Adam's and was asked if I was a dealer. When I replied I was I was banned for advertising. I stay out of the detailing section now.

The C2 section is great though.

I heard that once, but than again I was on the C5 General section, not the detail section, but I am not the only one on there that talks about Adams and how good it is and so far (6 years) I have not been questioned.

Funny, every time I mention ANY product on other forums ( I belong to VW, Volvo and a general oil one) I have to put the "no affiliation" dis claimer to avoid the flames.

 

Just make sure you wear your flame retardant gear.

There are people on chargerforumz raving about how all you need is a wax to get perfect paint... it's hard to stay out of some of those topics

[Chuckkilo3]

The people over at f150forum.com definitely need some help. There are guys over there just buying Turtlewax and towels at Walmart.

 

One guy said that ALL cars have swirl marks and there is nothing you can do about it.

 

Someone from Adams needs to post in their vendor section and set those people straight.

i'm fanatical with my 2012 lousy $20k Focus. (best looking 3rd gen Focus in RI) imagine me with a Corvette! i'd be guarding it 24/7 & armed to the teeth!

[JBlack151]

I'm always shocked when I hear such things, but I think I'm really shocked and embarrassed that those things are being said for cleaning Corvettes of all things.

I say it quite a bit on there. Even got a few people interested in Adam's. When they look at the results I got on my vehicles, it's an easy sell for someone that wants the same for their vehicle.

Chuckkilo3 and I are on a Frontier forum. Recently someone asked about removing swirls. The two of us and a few others recommended a PC and foam pads for someone new to machine polishing. Another member told the OP to get a rotary instead of a weak PC. He had used a rotary in a body shop for years and it was the only way to go. We went back an forth on why the PC was a better choice. Maybe he was the one they talked to for the Car and Driver article! http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/lounge/16774.htm

[Team Adam's]

Whats even scarier is that some people think thats just how a car is supposed to look... I've been at clinics where a guy says "I've never had to polish my car and it looks better than new!" We then venture out to have a look at find a swirled up mess.

[TK427]

just detail spray and micro fiber towels that they get at Cosco..

 

Some people will never learn, but then again maybe that just haven’t seen the light yet!
