Adam's Car Care Products
Okay, so I got my nice little Adam's Car Polishes "car care discount" since I bought my 2017 Stingray from Mike Furman @ Criswell on February 1st. I bought a tin of the Patriot Wax, a bottle of Butter Wax, a spray bottle of leather & interior cleaner AND a wheel brush (red bristles + black handle). FWIW, you can also find these products on Amazon.com if you search for them.
I used the Patriot Wax (a paste) with the "hex" applicator about five times and still have some left over. I opened a fresh bottle of the Butter Wax (liquid) today and used it - with the hex applicator - on my Torch Red Stingray. Six coats of wax on the car in just over eight months. Not bad, eh?
The wheel brush came in handy as well, although it is still kind of tough to reach the 'back' side of the black painted aluminum wheels.
The interior cleaner is a bit nicer than Armor All - which is still pretty good on plastic trim - especially for the leather seats.......and it won't leave them slippery the way Armor-All does. I still chose the (readily available at any store) "Black Magic" spray to use on my tires - with a foam applicator you can find at Wal-Mart anytime. My Corvette is clean, crisp, shiny and looking sharp sitting in the garage. I probably will not drive it for another two weeks - since I am working a lot and will be doing some traveling out of town. Not only is it clean, but I swear it smells nice too!!
I recommend trying some of Adam's Polishes for your Corvette too. Not quite 4,000 miles on her and she looks fabulous!!

I use a lot of Adam's products. Quality all the way around and made in the USA.

I used their ceramic coating a couple of weeks ago and it really makes the car easy to clean and look great. It was also really easy to apply (after all the prep) which was important to me. I give a big thumbs up to Adams products too!

Thanks for the review on their ceramic coating. Ease of application is a biggie.

The Adams wheel cleaner smells bad a week later and it discolors the tires. A guy who sells Adams products says that Adams doesn't smell any worse than other wheel cleaners and he usually cleans his tires before he uses the wheel cleaner so his tires don't discolor.

The new version of their wheel cleaner smells quite a bit better than the old version and much better than others I have tried. I use Adam's tire and rubber cleaner on the tires and they always clean up nicely.

Adam's H20 Guard & Gloss is a must for me. It gives the best instant results of any other product I've used through the years. I use it on my maintained metallic black paint and it looks amazing after I wash it. And if ya wanna add more bling to the paint go over it with their Ceramic Boost spray assuming your paint is in corrected condition to begin with. I haven't jumped into the ceramic coating waters yet but, I might give it a try next fall when I do my annual paint correction. I'm gonna wait till then and find out from my friend who just coated his car with Adam's coating. His car will get the test daily driving in the midwest seasons.
