Do You Wash/Detail Your Own Car? Look HERE!

All,
Once again, thank you all for your continue support and referrals. Detail Addict has been going great and growing strong. I will continue to provide detail services to the local bay area folks. Detail Addict is now ready to move into our next phase of expansion, RETAIL!

People come to me for different reasons. Folks are too busy, don’t have the equipment, solutions are too expensive, and some have damages and require restoration. Then there are those that work on their own cars and I would like to help those folks out as well and others between their professional detail sessions. Folks come to me to have swirl marks and spider webs removed. But after several washes by the local car wash, they come back. If you buy the right chemicals and accessories, you might never have to come back to me again for auto detailing.

I recently had the opportunity to meet Adam Pitale from Adam’s Polishes in person at a Fresno Porsche Event Meeting. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable man. We did several live demos at the event UNDER the sun. And sure enough, his products got the job done. I’ve been using his products for a while now and I like them. That’s not to say his products are perfect and no one can match it. There is always room for improvements in every product. I still use Menzerna polishes for those crazy swirls and Carnauba wax still gives a deeper/wet look to the car. But for the price and performance, they are definitely worth considering.

Here comes good part! While I was at the Fresno Porsche Event Meeting, I picked up my first load of inventory from Adam. I am going to pass the good deal to you bay area folks by selling this first batch of supplies TAX FREE AND SHIPPING FREE! The closest Adam’s Polishes distributor is in Morgan Hill so here is your chance! You will apply the coupon code NoTax and select shipping method Store Pickup. I will then deliver the products at the local meets below. If you are close by me, I might even deliver it to your house! Please specify which meet you’ll be at and print out your invoice and bring it with you. Order cut off time on the day of the delivery is 6PM. Couple of guys already picked few things from me, so get them while supply last! You can use PayPal or credit card for your purchase.

Current Pickup Locations:
Tuesdays, 8pm Union City Krispy Kreme
Friday Night WING STOP meet with 100% more wings and 50% less cops!

Please report all issues here and I’ll fix them ASAP!

Leo

First of all, don't go through a car wash!! Even the touchless should be careful with.

If you just want something super quick...
# Adam's Polishes - Brilliant Spray Glaze 16oz CD-007 $19.95

If you want to remove the swirl marks/spider webs the car wash put on...
# Adam's Polishes - Swirl & Haze Remover 16oz CD-005 $19.95
# Adam's Polishes - Revive Polish 16oz CD-004 $19.95
# Adam's Polishes - Buttery Wax 16oz CD-006 $19.95

If you don't care or don't have any swirl marks/spider webs...
# Adam's Polishes - Revive Polish 16oz CD-004 $19.95 (can be optional)
# Adam's Polishes - Buttery Wax 16oz CD-006 $19.95

Of course, if there are any surface contaminants, do clay before everything...
# Adam's Polishes - Clay Bar 4oz CA-001 $24.95

I live in an apartment building and can't wash the car myself. I can't take it to the carwash place that do it by hand since they charge $30 every time. So this is fast and furious. Oh well.

Great deal Leo.

Too bad I just invested in a lil Menzerna Sucks too because I'm a bit of a drive to your location.

Yeah, I understand... Maybe find a coin washing place that would let you bucket wash?

Not a problem... Menzerna has GREAT products. I use them myself and those that come to me for detail for the swirl/spider web removals. Adam's products are really good for those home use folks. You really can't screw up with their products.
