Any big Adams followers out there?

[WaxAddict]

Copycating the CG thread. What about Adams?
I`m a recovering QD addict, and Adams Detailer was/is a favorite. I also have Butter Wax and it leaves a great look, better than some expensive waxes, but longevity... meh.

Any fans?

Adam`s Detail Spray has been a favorite of mine since I first tried it a long time ago.

[Bunky]

I have used a few:

1. Soap (pink) - liked this a lot
2. Soap (new blue) - liked this too. like the Adam`s pump dispenser
3. Carpet Cleaner - no smell, no suds - works but pricey. Not like CG Nonsense
4. Adam`s Detail Spray (older formula) - liked this. Some claim it was a CG speed wipe clone but always felt Adam`s was more substantial
5. Fire Hose Nozzle - pricey but really like it and use it all the time

Adam`s has good bottles/sprayers in my experience.

I`ve only heard good thing about Adams but haven`t used any of their products yet.

Couldn`t stomach the smell of the Detail Spray. Very slick though.

[TroyScherer]

IMO Adams has good stuff and a lot of newbie car guys love their stuff. The issue for me is there are so many other options out there that are similar or even better at a better price point.

Love the VRT, but even wholesale prices are high compared to other options, along the same line as Griots

Love their old soap, haven`t tried the new one, and I tried some of their APC when Meguiars discontinued APC+, it works pretty well, and the scent is much better than Meg`s. Other than those two, most of their line is priced too high for me.

I`ve actually never tried anything they make. I`ve always heard good things but it`s usually from the car enthusiast crowd and not always coming from detailers. I honestly think the price point keep a lot of detailer away and it`s simply not carried by the online stores I have wholesale pricing with.

I`ve never tried their products yet but I`ve always wanted to try their detail spray because I heard so much good things about it.

One i always wanted to try is the H2O GUARD & GLOSS. Read it has quite the following.

And i see they just released a new TIRE & RUBBER cleaner that looks great!

[XxBoostinxX]

I have alway been a pretty diehard VRT fan. I have always loved the look on my tires and have had decent durability, which others have complained about.

I recently tried out their new tire dressing and it is "ok". Durability was subpar and the look was to much for me on my car.

Have used their waterless wash and QD a few times. Both worked well but the WW streaks pretty badly if you use too much product. I feel like PB Spray and Wipe is a better product and value than both.

Their APC seemed like a pretty good product. It always seemed to work well for me when cleaning plastic trim. But at their APC price I rather just buy Optimum Power Clean. I believe OPC is more versatile and works better.

There are just to many other products that are just as good or better at a better price point.

Only things I use of theirs are the Interior Detailer and I still have some blue soap but do not plan on buying either when they run out. I used the old wheel cleaner and the undercarriage spray also and wasnt wow`ed by them either.

Interior Detailer I now use Megs #40 and soap is usually CG or Megs 111

[The Guz]

I``ve used some of their products. They do have some nice products.

Shampoo (blue) - Very good shampoo. The previous red version was good as well.

Guard & Gloss - This is a great product. On it`s own, I have seen 3 months out of it.

Their Liquid Paint Sealant is good as well. I`ve used it a few times and it works as advertised. This and guard & gloss work well together

VRT - For me it was ok. Nothing special. Was a bit to greasy for trim. It is very similar to Meguiar`s D163 Tire & Trim Gel. I sold VRT away. It is not missed one bit.

Interior Detailer - I was not a fan. I traded that stuff away. Was to streaky.

Tire Shine - I traded that away as well. Was not a fan of it. Durability was like any typical tire product.

APC - was ok. I thought it was a bit on the weak side compared to Meguiar`s D103 APC+ at 10:1. Good thing I only purchased one bottle

Detail Spray - Good but it`s not the best QD out their. I find Meguiar`s M34 and D155 Last Touch to be just as good, if not better

Leather Conditioner - I traded for a bottle of this and this one is pretty good. The benefit is that it can be used on all surfaces to dress them.

Waterless Wash - The previous version was not that impressive. Not sure about the new one.

Quick Sealant - This was great. Very durable and could be applied on any surface. Works great on wheels. VOC`s got this one. I have one or 2 can`s left and my stock is depleted.

Now that they have gone to smaller quantity amounts (8 oz on some products), it is hard to justify the cost.

Thanks for the reviews!

Do you think that the adam`s detail spray is the exact same as Last Touch? Color is similar.
