However, I will say this... bring my wife into anything again and you won't have to worry about solid food again.

That's not a threat, that's a promise.

You can dish it but cant take it. Becareful james, you may be the only one left in the ICE CLUB at the rate you treat its members. I am referring to camaro and vettes with your comment on other challenger owners. My comment had no intentions on talking bad about your wife, it was a joke towards you. So calm down and go clean your camaros.

Nitro: This will be interesting to run our cars together...we have the same rwhp, just went about it differently. Yours will hold up longer...but I would love to see how they act on a closed course. Glad they got her back together for you. Cannot wait to hear it/see it

[NitroBeagle]

Yes we should do that sometime.Ted said it was the most they ever got out of an L99 conversion. The torque was up there too. I'll post dyno sheet when he emails to me.Are you gonna do the conversion ?

I can take a joke and be the butt of a joke anytime you guys want to hack on me. BUT my wife is OFF LIMITS. 'Nuff said.

You're right, I think I will go clean my Camaros. Unlike your Camaro, my Camaros actually get driven.

[xtreme2s]

Well....I tried to do well for us Iowa guys at the Camaro Superfest in Michigan. Cancelled out my room due to very busy, but then Saturday after work, said "what the heck" and did an all night drive to make event for Sunday.

Car was clean and detailed even after playing at GG auto cross, figuring doing spot detailing after the drive. But luck ran out, I ran into a massive rain storm on the way and that just f'd up any chance.

At 6am, went to the host hotel, used the free car clean area, scrubbed, cleaned best as I could, and entered in the 2010-12 Super Car class. I pulled down a 3rd.

It is getting hard to earn a trophy when the others in my class all had less than 500 miles.

As what has been prior said, brand spanking NEW should have different judging considerations. Was up against very new ZL1's, dealer sold Callaways, or Nickeys, and etc etc. Oh well. Had fun!

I did learn how to polish, detail with the Adams products, they had a great display and were all day doing lessons/demos on machine polishing with their products.

And toesuf94 Scott, you would have been back flipping on a brand new THR ZL1! Guy from Chicago "just picked it up", with THR installed extras of headers, and CAI. The miles he had on it were driving it home from Tom Henry in PA to Chicago, then to Ypsilanti. Beautiful car and some classy THR badging

I never heard of Adams until Cam5 forum. Been a lot of great comments on the Adams products and now they are listed as "official products for Camaro/Corvette" (The Adams gal said GM came to them)

Been using Meguairs mostly

What was neat on the Adams is the easy buffing system to remove those sunlight seen "cobwebs" Those swirls that we get from using the Calif Duster, wash mits, then drying with any towel or chamois. Black cars have it the worst!

The 3 compounds are colored and using the matching colored pad in 3 steps, one after another with a buffer (they sell) matched to their pads After that mist spray on a "shine enhancer" let dry, wipe haze off with their double microfiber cloth, ending with their "wax/sealer"

Tip: The guy taped (the green paint tape) all joints or seams (like between hood - fender) and etc to prevent the pads getting hooked and keeping the residual from buffering getting inside the crack/joint.

I did buy a start kit of products and a buffer. So I will be using real soon!

Did I mention the car they were letting anyone try and demo with was Lingenfelter's black convert which gets heavy use. (Rims were really beat up and Adam's guys worked hard on those)

[NitroBeagle]

I've watched their instructional videos online.Seems like a very good product.I need to make the switch,I been using Meguiars also.

i do, its all i use

[Quackersacker]

Chad good to see you hope all is well. Where do you get your adams products? online? I talked to them about carrying a line of products here. Maybe I should pursue some more. Ill have to find that email. Dont think there is anyone in Iowa carrying Adams products

[NitroBeagle]

I think the closest place that carries Adams is in Illinois. I use their all purpose cleaner and it works great. I ordered it online, and will do that when I make the switch.

Hey Chad how you been.? I know you been using Adams for a while now,seems like all that use it are very satisfied.

i was to until the first camaro fest. i spent some time at the adams booth. they made me be leave. anyone who wants to try there stuff can come on over, i will let you try it and give best demo i can. all i ask is replenish what you use. i order right from there website, i have all most all of there products.

i am doing ok, i still check in here everyday, but due to the drama i stay away most of the time.

[2Wicked]

I use Adams and I really like it. It might be a little pricey but I think it's worth it. I like how they have videos of their stuff. they have a good video on how to take care of the stripes.

[Tipper69]

Ive never used any car care products... I probably should start

With your big stick cam and LS3 heads, and matched tune flowing thru your headers and big pipes, the idle thumping, and sound will be awesum!

We're planning on going tomorrow. I think Steve_RS_Camaro is going too. We're planning on meeting him at the rest area just outside of West Des Moines probably around 6:30 a.m. or 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Hey Roy, I don't have my car back yet otherwise I would be there. I ran there earlier this year. My best that day was 59.5. Awesome course where we can use some of that horsepower ! 9am is early start, usually don't start til 11. I might come out to watch but also thinking of going to Route 66 for the drags. Have fun tommorrow and stay between the cones.

Tim S

I hope so. I was going for performance and sound. I would like to do more exterior stuff for shows but I'm looking at other things first.

[roadrage41]

for you'se guys that are looking into the adam's stuff, one of the moderators on the forum works at s.j. smith in davenport. (his name on the G8 boards is 4gasem, not sure on there.) He's got a few grand in adam's products in his garage. If you have a big enough showing at an event, like an ICE event, not just a car show, they'll usually either cut you a deal or send you some free stuff. I know they sent a ton of promotional stuff to the G8 meet down here last year.

Nitro you werent down here for the memorial thing were you? I went on a memorial ride today, same circumstances.
