  2. Here's another great job by Chase! I always love these jobs. This is the wife, of the client I did the Cayman for. GREAT people, and they've seen what my hands can do. This is her daily driver, and I think they'll order up a polishing package in the summer, but for now it was just a wash, clay, sealant, interior job. I'm always very grateful for return clients like this, and furthering our relationship. I went to the client's house for this one, here's how things went down: Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner, Wheel Woolies, Boar's Hair brush, & New Lugnut Brush on wheels Adam's All Purpose Cleaner& Fender Brushon tires & wheel wells Adam's All Purpose Cleaner & Fender Brush to clean floormats Adam's All Purpose Cleaner, Wheel Woolies, & Boar's Hair Brush to clean the engine bay Blow dry engine bay with MetroVac Sidekick & one of my "dirty job" towels Full two bucket wash with Adam's Firehose Nozzle & shutoff valve, Adam's Jumbo Wash pads, & Adam's Car Wash Shampoo Dress wheeel wells with Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray Adam's Clay Bar, Adam's Detail Spray, & Adam's Great White Drying Towel to decontaminate the surface Blow dry cracks & crevices with MetroVac Sidekick 70/30 Alcohol wipedown with Adam's Singlesoft Microfiber Towel Adam's Quick Sealant Comboto protect this baby Nourish engine bay, tires, & all exterior plastics with Adam's SVRT, Adam's In/out Spray, and a Block Sponge Vacuum interior with my Shop Vac Dust dash with small brushes, Adam's Detail Spray & "dirty job" towel Scrub seats and door areas with Adam's Leather/Interior Cleaner, Adam's Horsehair Interior Brush, & one of my "dirty job" towels Nourish seats & door areas with Adam's Leather Conditioner Clean interior & exterior glass with Adam's Glass Cleaner & towel Dress roof rack with Adam's SVRT On to the pics baby! Arriving on the scene: Lettin' the DWC & APC get right down to work: Engine bay before: Washed & Blow dry: Always check this area during a wash. The lugnut brush is used for MANY other areas than just lugs: All done washing: Ready for a pool rinse, let the car help dry itself: Hittin' those fender wells before moving forward, in case any overspray gets on the car, I have a few steps after, to remove it. I don't dry the car beforehand, when I clay. Any water left on the car after rinsing (ALWAYS DO THIS IN THE SHADE OR GARAGE) acts as lubricant for when I clay, and then I use the Great White Drying Towel to absorb what's left behind. I took this pic, so you can see all the dirt and junk left behind, EVEN AFTER a wash, absorbed into the towel. This is after just the roof. I always like to dress all areas with SVRT & In/Out Spray BEFORE I apply my LSP or do my IPA wipedown, because I'll remove any accidental messy areas, in the steps to come. Here's a 50/50 of the rear step pad, after 1 coat of SVRT: Buttoned up after 3 coats absorbed: Engine bay afters:

  11. Here's another job completed by our man Chase. This client just bought this truck and contacted me to get it "proper", via one of my good friends referring him! It's always nice when you have friends backing you up! The client knew it was a low-mileage, well-kept truck, but he was also aware that the previous owner had no clue how to care for the paint, so he was honest about the swirls.....but after getting under critical lighting, they were worse than anticipated. I knew this would be a 2-day project for sure!! Truck had 62k miles on it, truck arrived very clean, here was my plan of attack: Adam's All Purpose Cleaner, Boar's Hair Brush, and Wheel Woolies to clean engine bay Rinse & blow dry engine bay with Metro Vac Sidekick Wash tires & fender wells with Adam's All Purpose Cleaner & Adam's Fender Brush Clean wheels with Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner, New Lugnut Brush, & Turbo Stick Use Adam's Waterless Wash & Waterless Wash towels on rest of truck Adam's Clay Bar, Detail Spray, & Adam's Single Soft towelson entire truck Compounding done with another brand & microfiber pad (took anywhere from 4-8 passes, per body panel) Tools used - Flex PE14-2, Flex 3401, Metabo 4" One pass of Adam's Fine Machine Polish & 4th gen White pad Alcohol wipedown entire truck Coat entire truck with Adam's Quick Sealant Bumper, middle hood & roof, & tailgate got a 2nd coat of Adam's Quick Sealant Rest of truck that was "non-striped" got topped off with Adam's Americana Paste Wax Nourish entire engine bay, wiper cowl, tires, and mirror housings with Adam's SVRT & Adam's In/Out Spray Clean interior & exterior windows with Adam's Glass Cleaner & Adam's Glass Cleaner Towel Interior was super clean, but still got love from Adam's Leather/Interior Cleaner, and then nourished with Adam's Leather Conditioner Fender wells got dressed with Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray Sealant & wax removed with Adam's Double Soft Towels I wanted to hit the trim with APC & SVRT, but simply, just ran out of time!!! Polishing this beast took forever!!! We also removed the windshield decal, removed the window vent visors, and debadged the "Ram" portion of the logos on the doors. On to the pics, here's she is upon arrival: Got the wheels cleaned up....gawd I LOVE this tool.... Here's the paint after wash & clay, toooons of defects, heavy marring, horrific swirling... Got all the adhesive & residue off from behind the Ram emblems (these were the hardest I've EVER encountered), all that's left after this point, is to polish. But a picture like this might make most people "freak out" lol. Here's some 50/50 shots during polishing: Had to call in my buddy Vince for a couple hours JUST to get caught up. With the fyasko of the incredibly stubborn debadging, and the intense level of swirls in this paint, I was running behind. He took care of wheels, tires, undercarriage, and used the Metabo 4" to get in all the small areas. This way I could just focus on the big panels. Started seeing some redemption... Got my favorite rubber/plastic nourishment out, and went to town! Loved on the glass with this streak-free combo: Gave the door jambs plenty of "sexy" with Adam's Detail Spray and one of my "dirty job" towels: After pics of the finessed interior: Gave this girl some SOLID protection and PLENTY of wet shine with this stellar combo! And here's how she came out!! Disclaimer: We're very aware of the slight discoloration in the paint when the emblems were removed. They were saved for future re-installation if necessary, but he may have other plans. Thanks for looking!! If you have any questions, feel free to holler!!!
  12. Its that time of year again my friends. Tomorrow, April 2nd 2013, is World Autism Awareness day and as many of you are aware, our man Dylan is the father of a child with Autism. With 1 in 88 children now diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders its more important NOW than ever to bring attention to the cause. I'm asking everyone to make a small gesture tomorrow by wearing blue to work or school. Drop by the hardware store and buy a blue light bulb for your front porch. Show support for a disorder that is impacting families all over the world including your neighbors, friends, and family members. Also, this year again Adam has stepped up in support. Last year, thanks to your generosity and Adam's support we were able to donate over $4,600 through the purchase of our "Light It Up Blue" kits. This year again we'll be making special items and kits available to purchase throughout the month, with 100% of your purchase being donated to Autism Speaks. We have 100 of these on hand now, once these are gone we'll list a new charity kit for sale. Adam's Polishes - Adam's Light It Up Blue for Autism Charity Kit

  20. 2 years ago the Adam's Polishes Team set out to produce a Ultra-Premium paste wax, one that would challenge us to formulate something to outperform our current waxes. A wax that produced amazing depth, gloss, clarity and shine while maintaining ease of use. The culmination of this endeavor is finally here and to commemorate its launch we are offering 250 Limited Edition Kits. This ambitious project utilizes the very finest ingredients available, in high concentrations, in our own proprietary blend to provide a wax of unparalleled quality. Each Patriot Wax is hand mixed and hot poured into a solid CNC machined billet aluminum container featuring the Adam's Premium Car Care logo. The limited edition packaging also houses a special red and black hex grip applicator in its custom cut foam housing. Each Adam's Patriot Wax ordered will be hand mixed and poured fresh, one at a time, to ensure you receive the highest quality product possible. In addition to owning one of only 250 produced, your purchase will help us support the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, a charity that serves members of the United States Armed Forces injured in service to our nation. These heroes and their families deserve our thanks and support as they sacrifice so much for us every day. Adam's Premium Car Care will be donating $25 from every Limited Edition Patriot Wax purchased directly to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. The first Limited Edition Patriot Wax produced will be auctioned off with 100% of the proceeds being donated to the charity as well. Each component of the kit, including the aluminum, packaging, and applicators were all sourced from local independent small business to ensure top quality craftsmanship and a product made entirely in the USA. Adam's Premium Car Care, along with our partners on this project, are extremely honored to finally see it fully realized and we hope you will feel honored as one of the 250 lucky customers to own it. Today we launch the first run of 50, available on a first come, first served basis. Each pot will be hand mixed and hot poured to order so that every unit is absolutely as fresh as possible when it arrives to its lucky owner. We will announce the next 50 for sale after the batch sells out. The very first Limited Edition Kit has been produced and will be auctioned off starting later today. The link to bid on this particular item will be posted here when the auction starts. Click the link below to place your order. As an optional item, feel free to request your box be signed by Adam himself or any member of the team in the order comments. If you'd like a special message include that as well. Each kit will sell for $250 and once all of them are sold, no more will be produced. This product is being made available only to our forum followers first to give you the very first opportunity to own one of these yourself.
