I think if you call and talk to Dylan he'll work with to put a package together to meet your needs. All of the folks at Adams seem to go out of the way to make the customers ahppy. Good luck

That's all? Im up to $1,600 . Check out this thread.

Correct. I honor all Adam's discounts, but I do have to charge Fl. Sales Tax...I can tell you that shipping is cheaper and orders arrive the day after they ship in most cases. So if you ordered today, you'd have your goodies tomorrow. Another option is to come on by if you are in Orlando and just pick them up. Instant gratification!

Join the club after I too detailed my car for the first time the wife wants me to do the same for her Murano. We both sat and watch Adam's instructional videos now all she wants to talk about is Claying. I got ya claying right here .... Bang.. Zoom !!! But I'll do her car for her still. I can use the practice.
