Default THINKING of trying adams

i tried wolfgang uber rinseless a couple months ago and really , really like it . was going to buy more yesterday , the 64 ounce for $50 size , and they no longer sell that quantity ...i'm upset . thought about some adams but i really like the wolfgang . i'm not asking a comparison of the two as that as not allowed . but if you've tried adams rinseless i'd be interested in your thoughts . ALL suppliers mention things like ''special polymers that encapsulate dirt '' i doubt these kind of statements . these statements may very well be true but i'm not smart enough to comprehend them and they just bother me . . . peace

Thanks for thinking about giving us a shot for your care car needs.
Here is a quote from Adam.

My personal guarantee is this: if you are not exceptionally satisfied with any Adam's Premium Car Care product, I will refund your money, plus 10%. I will also replace the item with a like product of your choice. -Adam Pitale (President & Founder)


BTW, To encapsulate the dirt and contaminants means to lift the dirt so you won't scratch your paint.
Hope this helps.

I use Adams rinseless and it works great. Give it a try, I think you'll find it equal to, if not better than Wolfgang.

Our Paint Sealant is pretty durable and can be applied by hand, it would do you a good job of protecting your paint.

Also you could apply our H2O Guard & Gloss every 4 or so washes, it is a water activated sealant that you apply as you dry your car, it will help the PS to last even longer and it's super easy to use.
Thanks!

I HAVE A VERY HIGH REGARD FOR ADAMS POLISHES, not only for the high quality of their products but for their true concern and going well beyond expectations.

My eldest daughter passed away on Dec 29, 2010, from breast cancer. She was 42 with a 2 year old son. Prior thereto we needed help in raising funds for her medical expenses. Adams unhesitatingly put two auctions on Ebay for Liza's benefit. Other Adams customers who heard also helped. It was a fantastic experience. Unfortunately Liza didn't make it. I will always be grateful and will remain a loyal customer not only for this but for the high quality of their products !!!

THANK YOU !

tried the rinseless wash for second time yesterday . i got finished and i'm going '' wow , this thing is really shiny '' then remembered i'd zainoed it after the last wash so now i don't know whether to attribute the shine to the adams or because i'd zainoed it . guess it was shinier after washing than before washing so right now i'm pleased with the adams . also used the '' h2o and gloss [?]'' on sons outside kept car and after a couple rains it still looks just washed . . peace

I have used Adams products, almost exclusively, for several years. Although I have bought some Adams Rinseless Wash, I have not used it yet. But I am sure it is an outstanding product, because all of their products I use are outstanding.

I have started using Adams now and I am getting great results. However i don't use any rinse less product. I suggest phoning in to Adams when you are ready to use the product and describe what you want vs the condition of your vehicle. They will be able to advise you correctly when given the exact need you have. Best of Luck!

I have a black metallic car and just bought a bottle of Adam's H20 Guard and Gloss to use as a drying aid after washing. I must say I'm extremely impressed. It's the first product I've used that's given the most instant results of any other product I've tried. This product will be permanent in my arsenal! I do an annual paint correction and I'm told you get better results on paint that's maintained. I'm thinking of trying a bottle of Ceramic Boost which I'm told works good over the top of H20.

Yes you can apply Ceramic Boost over your H2O.
Thanks again!!

Tried the Ceramic Boost over the H20 on my black metallic paint. I'm totally sold as it brings the finish to a whole different level. As anyone knows black is a tough color that needs constant maintenance. I usually correct my paint once a year in the fall but, don't think I'll be correcting this fall due to the use of these 2 products combined. These 2 products should only be used on paint that is in good corrected condition and not neglected. I'm sold!
