Who else uses Adams polishing products?

I won a premium kit at a truck show I entered a few years ago and now every show I'm at at least 10 people ask me what I use for detailing. I am in no way affialated with these guy's but after a lifetime of trying different products These are the best I have ever used. Does anyone else use them ? http://www.adamspolishes.com/

I use them. I really like almos all of their products. I'm just not realy fond of the Swirl and Haze Remover. It's too mild. They need to offer something a little more aggressive.

I've tried a few of their products. All in all, they weren't too bad.

They're not atop my list but, they're not at the bottom either...

The 'Buttery Wax' isn't too shabby... reminds me a lot of #26.

Really? Why? I sometimes wish I had gone with the Retrax, it's got a glossy finish to it..



There's another low profile cover that can support 500+ pounds. I forget the name, but a guy I work with might get one for his 250. If it's as good as they claim I might look into one of those. It'd be nice to be able to stand on it.

Wow, Nice work! It's good to see some of you using them, 9 out of 10 people that ask me what I use have never heard of them. I just thought I might help all those good looking Ford's stay that way.

A few years back, when Adam's products first hit the scene, Adam's sent me his complete detailing kit for evaluation. I found some of his products to be pretty good (like Butter Wax). However, at that time, I felt that his polishes left something to be desired. I'm sure by now (and would certainly hope), that he has improved them. From what I've seen and heard, that seems to be the case.

With that said, I would add again, that IMHO, it's about 25% product (given a reasonable product), and 75% process and proper tools. Therefore, if used properly, I see no reason why someone wouldn't be extremely pleased with the results obtained from using his products.

I am a big fan of the In & Out Spray, but that is the only one I use with any frequency.

That's some pretty good stuff, but I don't think they carry it anymore. Have you tried the newer Invisible Undercarriage Spray?

The In & Out Spray is being reformulated. I really like the undercarriage spray. You go through it fast though. The VRT is really nice. It leaves a very dry, low gloss finish to the interior. I really like the Brilliant Spray Glaze. It's nice to use between major details. It leaves paint and windows looking awesome and has, in my opinion, a better than Rain-X effect. I posted picture up of a detail I did this winter on my Expedition. I didn't finish in time to get day light pictures though so they're only shop pictures. Also, a picture of some of Adam's stuff I have, but not all of it. I love their microfiber towels.

If you guys like the Adams products then try this place and by them direct. Just look for the products with the same name.

http://chemicalguys.com/

And for those of you that like the In and Out spray try here. I buy it by the case to save money and if you call them they will usually get you it for even less.

Chemical Guys has a ton of stuff on their website. The descriptions all sound similar to the product above or below it. I got a headache looking at their website.

You misunderstood. My mistake. I can prety much figure out what products are the same between Adams and Chemical Guys. I meant the Chemical Guys site as a whole.
