Before:













After:











It was a nice turn around. I fixed my SLR so these were all from my phone because my battery is dead on the camera. No interior shots as it was just a typical vacuum and wipe down. I enjoyed this detail, the bedside really turned out great and i was glad it reversed his driver error.

 

Nice rehab.

 

What are your thoughts on the Adams wash wedge? Worth it? I am kind of on the fence with the new product?

 

i like it. I got to test it out before they released it. I like it because i have a big problem with hair on my hands, especially when its wet. The wedge is also very easy to clean and the little fingers suck the dirt up from the surface.

At first i was a little hesitant because its foam, its gotta hurt the finish right? So far it hasnt, its also made of the same foam i apply the sealant and wax with. With the lubricants the soaps have its never an issue. Its also easier to ring it out that the wash pad or merino style mitt.

Only thing i have noticed is that the handle seems like i could rip it off easily but its been fine through 6 washes.Let it be known its a Lake County wash wedge but they're making some changes to it to become an Adams wedge. Much like everything theres multiple suppliers.

 

I was worried about the same issue with it being foam. Also wonders how long something like that will last for? I am content with the microfiber mitt, or the boars hair brushes I use, but it is difficult to wash the boars hair due to the plastic handles.

It is too bad Adam is such a D**k, I want to support Dylan, similar to when he was at Surf City. Actually thinking about it, never had an issue with anyone other than Adam at the company. They have great customer support.

 

I am friends with DVK personally so i never deal with Adam directly. I buy all kinds of products from all different companies but Dylan sends me things to beta test for him so i get to try it all first hand. Only thing AP has that i would buy right now is the H20Gloss and the wedge.

 

Looks like you do great work!

 

What are you using for your waxes and sealants?

 

I use Sonax Poly Net Shield for most applications.

This one i used the SCG Acrylic Sealant.

I never wax unless requested. Wax is going the way of the dino.

 

Total jealous you get to beta test. Nice turn around on the Tacoma.

On a side note, I really liked Adams products ever since coming across them a few years ago. But I could tell a difference after DVK left. Definitely tell a difference now he is back especially product develop.

 

wowwww

 

i agree, the product and marketing really slipped while he was "away". Its nice to see its back along with him. Hes got some big things coming, thats all i can say

 

That Adam's H2O G&G looks good. Recommended?

 

I like it, ive used other brands versions of a water activated sealant. Easy to use, doesnt smear and protects pretty damn good for a water activated sealant. I use it every other month after a wash.

Plus the grape smell is good.

 

Nice restoring!

 

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

 

its a new concept to a lot of different people so it takes some time to grasp when you're doing it but once you start, its really nice. I noticed an improvement in shine, feel and protection.

 

Cool.
I am using Duragloss now, but this looks easier to use.

 

Cool. Patiently awaiting the coating if it gets released.
