*Official* Ask A Detailer Thread

do you have a Bissel Little Green machine?

I've used Adams Upholstery Cleaner with great success. While i just was talking about Adams being expensive, Upholstery cleaner they have is quite unique. I've gotten some nasty stains out with it as well as my LGM.

 

I don't have one!

 

I was thinking about trying CG out and interenting the products are the same.

Do you have a good recommendation for a vacuum? I bought a master blaster recently and absolutely love it. Did not know if metro had as high of quality if product for a vacuum compared to the blaster.

 

the blaster is a pretty good one. It will be tough to find something better.

 

What about a vacuum though? The one I currently have is just not cutting it.

 

i just use a newer shop vac. hasnt failed me yet. I have a hand held cheaper version of my shop vac which is good for the smaller cars.

 

Shark Navigator Lift Around Pod Vacuum With Extra Attachments - Model NP320

Shark NP320...it's one of the best household purchases I've made. Works great for the car/truck and also great on the house stairs. Strong suction, good attachments and easy to clean. Compact so you can put the canister in the truck and you're not fighting with the hose and unit outside the truck. Beats the hell out of the Dustbuster types, too.

I got mine at Target awhile back, but it appears they don't stock it anymore. I'm surprised at some of the Amazon reviews...not my experience at all. Maybe I got lucky and got a good one.

 

I have an old Hoover canister style vacuum which is nice since it has wheels and a long hose, but sometimes it just seems it is not able to suck up enough of the contaminants on my carpets. I am having to repeatedly go back and forth for the vacuum to pick up the debris.

Thanks for the recommendation of the shark, but unfortunately I have to pass. I have owned one other shark brand prior and I swore to myself I would never by another product with the the shark label on it.

 

Whatever works for you. I am happy with Adams, besides I have purchased enough garbage in the past that doesn't work. Besides its Not like I am detailing for a living. Second, pretty sure they are not the same products as this has been addressed on other forums.

 

I'm friends with their former product developer. You can continue to overpay if you'd like.

 

Or I could believe everyone who has a friend that once worked at a company.

 

some people just need to overspend to keep a company going. you're one of them.

 

I appreciate the advice. I like the products I am using. I do use other products than Adam's. I happen to appreciate the fact they push Made in USA along with their customer service. Last time I looked it was up to me and my wife on how to make our financial decisions not you.

 

better bring your fact checker. Towels are from North Korea, pads from China. If you honestly believe their actually Made in USA then there is no saving you or your wrong opinion. Have fun with your next back order because they're being shopped and probably sold soon.

 

Yes, I realize not all products are from USA. Never said they were. I like the fact they try to push that. Jeez dude use the products you like and I will use the ones I like. Doesn't make either of us right or wrong.

By the way, did your friend or facebook friend, let's call him "Dillion" for shits & giggles, come clean before or after leaving the company? Will we expect the same products at the new company he is working for afterall he was product developer or copier the way you put it.

 

In the words of Mile Phillips: "Find a product you like and use it often".

 

Adams is great stuff I used it for a while. Personally I've done A lot of paint correction and ShineSupply is what I use for that now. Amazing products.
I'll attach a pic of a faded 1992 mercury Capri I did. I know there's a spot of the fender but there's only so much you can do to horrible bodywork without repainting.

 

Nice job on the Mercury. Bet the owned loved the results.

 

WOW! That's an awesome before and after.
