    Adams Polishes Any Good?

    Hello All,
    I have been looking at Adams polishes and am wondering if their products are high quality and worth the money. I would be buying the cutting compounds, butter wax etc. Their products look good but i`m wondering how they perform before buying. If anyone could share opinions on Adams Polishes and give any other recommendations for detailing compounds, etc, that would be great.
    Thank you all

    They are probably good polishes. Depends on application as to what flavor of the month polish might be slightly better.

    I spend some time researching and ordered their polish. Seems to be abrasive enough but finishes smooth. I have decided to apply essence afterwards cuz I’m coating. I’ve read nothing but good/ great about their polishes/compounds.

    If not dead set on Adams though would seriously consider Griots BOSS line. Seems to be a favorite and used more by geeks and topians.

    Can’t go wrong either way.

    This linked thread was started for comments about the new Meg`s Mirror Glaze Professional line compound M110 and polish M210, but it does contain some info and suggestions about other compounds and polishes that might pique your interest:

    I am going to ask a similar question as was asked above: Do already HAVE Adams polishes in your possession OR are you thinking about purchasing them?
    Also, what kind of buffing (polishing) machine do you have OR are thinking to buy?

    Ferganzer- Welcome to Autopia!

    I won`t patronize Adams myself, and I do wonder *why* somebody would go that route, but I doubt there`s anything *wrong* with that line. IIRC, the people who make their stuff are basically OK (which means that everybody who markets said stuff under a private label is probably OK too).

    Generally, I`d think that you oughta have some pretty definite reasons for choosing a given product or product line. Reasons you can clearly articulate.

    FWIW, if starting from scratch today, I`d almost certainly go with Griot`s, although I`m doing fine with M101 followed by 3D Polish.

    I used the Heavy correcting compound, with a micro fiber pad.
    It worked well, not too heavy. Seemed like not alot of lubrication in it as it was drying as I polished, with some dusting.
    I will try again, this time work it less.
    Really liked the bottle and pop top, and the color coding is kinda cool.

    Have not used their paint polishes, but their detail spray, car shampoo, tire and rubber cleaner, carpet and upholstery cleaner, and wheel cleaner are fantastic.
