Default Thinking of purchasing some Adams products

Can anyone vouch for these products vs chain store products. I'd like to take things to the next level with my cars and spend money in better products for keeping it clean. I have been watching videos and curious. Thinking of buying a lot to try.

I'll definitely vouch for them and if you don't like them return the products. They also offer a 110% guarantee.

That said, and they'll remind you of this too, technique trumps product every time. If your technique is solid, their products make it that much easier IMO.

Thanks. I ordered a perfect interior kit and the brilliant glaze from them. I'd like to try the buttery wax but still have Meguiers carnuba left that I bought and used on it.

really like the rinseless wash . alsp tried a couple other products on my sons car that sets outside year around . liked them [ don't remember exact names right now ] and was satisfied with them . one i tried on his car was ''wash and wax[?]'' later drove his car and ran the wipers . windshield was instantly trashed . i could see nothing just a blur on windshield . i've since washed the windshield with glass cleaner after using the wash and wax . . peace

H20 Guard & Gloss is a must for me. Little pricey but worth it. You'll get best results with their product if your paint is already corrected.

I use nothing but Adam's Polishes products. I especially like the H20 Guard & Gloss and the Detail Spray. The car wash is excellent as well.

Default Detail spray

Is there a difference between the blue and the pink detail spray?

I've only ever used the pink detail spray. My guess would be just in the scent. The pink is strawberry. It does smell nice when detailing my Z. Adam's Polishes is on here, perhaps they can tell us the difference.

They do limited releases of some of their products. Pumpkin spice detail spray should be out soon. As long as it's detail spray you'll get the same results. Like big Russ said, it's a scent thing.

The Pink is for regular (shiny) paint, the blue is for matte paint and matte stripes and wraps, anything that you don't want to shine.
Hope this helps!
Thanks guys for buying our goods!

Everything has worked great that I have used so far. Very impressed with the glass cleaner. I actually used it with my fine nanno sponge instead of the clay. I do have one question. I used the blue interior detail spray and it worked great on my rollback and most of the vette. Not an even satin finish for some reason. The only spot it hasnt worked.
Having problems with under the hatch. It's not leaving the same result as everywhere else. What am I doing wrong?

Definitely better than what you will find in the local store. Adams stands behind their products, quality is excellent. Agree with good technique for sure. Have found that all of their products are easy on/off, can't say that about some other "hi prestige" brands!

They have terrific products. I bought their orange correcting polish and their white finishing polish. That combo made my 2005 tsx look the best it has ever looked. Very easy to work with.

What are you spraying on the area surrounding the rear glass?

I love Adam's products and use them on all my vehicles, but for area's such as that around the rear glass for that type of material I use a damp microfiber cloth.

I have used their ceramic wheel coating product and the results were amazing - both on my relatively new 2016 Stingray as well as my three year old truck wheels.
