I bought a starter kit, extra bucket w/grit guard and the badass wash mitt from Adams. Then I also invested in 2 bottles of Fukken Wax!!

Its all good. Get your fukken fix, come back for a case next time......from me.

Just looked at your page. I didn't see the package I bought direct. I bought 2 bottles and it came with microfiber clothes. I'll comeback to your page on my next order.

Here's a direct link - Fukken Wax - 2 Cans



couple bucks cheaper after shipping too.

 

[ramflava]

Here's the one I found. I think it's slightly cheaper. I ordered 4 microfibers for $4.

 

[ramflava]

Ok just looked harder at your page. You're right. A little cheaper.

Wow. Superfast processing and shipping. Ordered this 23 hours ago, paid ground shipping and already have it on my doorstep. Its probably, because I'm in New Mexico and Adams is in Colorado, but I'm still very impressed!

Only one small complaint (and really not an issue) is that I clicked the button for the free DVD, it's on my receipt, but was not sent to me. I did, however, receive a nice calender. I don't need the DVD though since the videos are posted to the Adams website.

FYI!!! Wash that mitt in a degeaser like Adams All Purpose Cleaner or Simple Green and let it sit in it.

The natural oils in the wool will kill suds like no bodies business. I literally poured 16oz of APC into my bucket with hot water and then sprayed the mitt and massaged it in and then stuck in the bucket over night with the grit guard holding it down as well as bottles on top to hold it in the water.

That Mitt is AWESOME!!! The drying towels will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!! Spritz the truck with detail spray as you dry and you'll fall in LOVE!

Washing MF before using isn't a bad idea either. Are you aware of the correct ways to was MF? Alone with nothing but other MF and either air dry or machine dry but NO softener!! Adams MF detergent is really quite good and all I use now, but the "free" laundry detergent works well too. Just NO softener and DO NOT wash with other items!!!!

 

[ramflava]

Wow, great tip!! Thanks. I'll do that. Do you think I have to wash the MF first? I just got my truck washed last week, I was gonna test out the detail spray. Tomorrow is when I'll wash the police unit, truck, and Journey.

Ok, so I have the mitt is the bucket with simple green soaking. Used the detail spray and love it. Use a lot on just one vehicle though. Just spraying my truck I used 1/3 of the bottle.

I tell everyone you HAVE to buy in gallons. The best way to do it is to wait for a daily or weekly special or the holiday or seasonal specials they have. I usually buy up at that point.

I have a 5 gallon container of DS in my basement!

If you're using DS on a dirty vehicle it's not the best choice. Adams Waterless Wash would be a much better choice since it is designed to encapsulate the dirt and insulate it from the paint finish. Follow that up with DS for the POP!

All MF has some dust and strings left in it from the manufacturing process, so washing tends to get those out. You don't HAVE to wash them, but I've found they absorb better once washed.

Adams got SLAMMED with orders last weekend, but that's NO reason to miss the DVD. I guarantee you, Nick will send one out to you. I prefer them online as we don't even own a DVD player. We stream everything now...

Is Fukken a sealant? I'd REALLY recommend you put a base of sealant on your vehicles if they're DD's and see bird droppings and such and then top with a wax. A sealant BONDS to the paint whereas a wax will sit on top of it and degrades much quicker. Especially in the heat.

You're moving in the right direction!

After the Merino Mitt soaks, be sure to rinse it out REALLY well or that Simple Green won't play nice with any shampoo you use.

With the new DS, sometimes less is more. You only need 2-3 sprays/panel for it to spread out effectively.

I believe we temporarily ran out of DVDs at the warehouse, but if you still want one shoot me a PM and I can send you one of mine I have lying around the house. I'm with Chewy though, streaming them is easier for me.

YES! Missed that point! Rinse and Rinse and then Rinse again!! Remember it's basically a chamois inside the mitt so it's holds on to whatever it comes in contact with. Rinsing is HUGE!
