im thinking about ordering their claybar, detail spray, and wash pads.

has anyone ever used these products or know if theyre any good?
 
I helped a guy with bad scratches on his Mustang not long ago who was using Adams. You should have seen the paint :( SSR2 and my PC took care of it. The wash pads are good, but there are cheaper clay bars you can get that do the same thing. You want a good detail spray go with Meguiars.

HOLY MOLY here.

OK, here are my 2 cents, and as before, take it for what it is worth. First off, the company makes grade A products, and are always striving to provide the best of the best.

Unlike Hogan, Adam's Detail Spray is by far my favorite, and that's over Poorboy's Spray and Wipe (different category IMO) and Meg's Final/Quik Detailers, along with 7 others I currently have. It wipes off much easier, and we got photos to prove it from the Corvettes at Carlisle where we had Meg's employees admit it. Spray and Wipe is a waterless wash, nothing more, and definitley nothing less. Adam's will emit a greater shine hands down; it has wax enhancers in it, not actual carnuba wax, thus, there are no bonding issues. Final Detail is a silicone based product that has bonding issues, but does leave a great shine, but takes 4.5 more wipes to get the same effect (I told ya).

The claybar is superior to the 4 in the past that I have used. They have outlasted my previous ones, and it is by far the most elastic one. Read how large it is too, typically 1/3 larger than most. You can easily break it in two parts. It is totally non-abrasive, and yes, I can tell a difference.

However, I am totally with Cujo on this one, he does lack polishing products. That is when I started using the PB's polishes and Adam's waxes. His products are a little more expensive than Poorboy's, but look at Premium Auto Care and compare to other quality products such as 4Star and Wolfgangs. It's right in the ball park, and you definitely get what you pay for!

I order the wash pads frequently, because frankly, they are that damn good. It is a synthetic one, and scratches are minimized dramatically. It is designed to pull in contaminates to the middle of the pad, instead of lingering on the outside to swirl your finish. They aren't that expensive either, and can be machined washed to revitalize.

His MF towels are some of the best I have used, and are on my "reserved" shelf. They are very soft and plush, and wash up very nicely.

The best part about Adam's Polishes is their guarantee. If you think their products suck so bad, then Adam will graciously give you 110% of your money back. WHAT OTHER COMPANY DOES THIS? You can't beat it! www.adamspolishes.com

I'm not going to get in a Poorboy's/Adam's delema, because that is what has torn FordTruckWorld.com to shambles. People who yap or stand behind products and have only tried 1 or 2 others. I would encourage my DC buddies Ranch and Boss to chime in on this situation, as they have also used the Adam's, along with other products too.

--I've answered 3 seperate PM's about the Adam's Products TODAY before this thread was started--
I'd be happy to answer anymore about this subject on a one-on-one basis.

NOT 1 COMPANY IS GOING TO HAVE THE BEST PRODUCTS FOR EVERY ASPECT OF A DETAIL! Experiment, experiement, experiement, and when you have tried $2500+ worth of different detailing products, you tend to find what products are better for certain situations.

Better yet, let the pictures tell the story:

I agree with Nickc. I really like the Adams detail spray. I haven't tried their clay, so I can't comment on it. I also like their paint cleaner, only complaint I have is that it stains the pads.

Very impressive

So tell me, did you detail that trailer?!?! Theres no way, that would take a whole week to do. I wouldnt mind charging 2 grand to detail it though. Haha
 
Gary--
I guess it depends on the type of pad and the washing solution. Greezed Lightning breaks it up easily. The good thing about it---it might stain your pad, but WON'T stain your trim>>>>>not very many Polishes can claim that. Oh yeah, they can be used in the sun, and advise too, also!

2drtohoez71--
Yeah, put 5 guys on it, and it'll take you a bit of time still. This was before the 50th Anniversary Corvette Show, so we had to make it look good.

I should also add, all of the above pictures are finished off with Adam's Butter Wax......no paste wax toppers or anything!
 
Adam has some great products. I've used his Butterwax, Revive, Detail Spray, Scratch-out, Clay, MF towels, VRT, and I still have some Brilliance that I haven't had a chance to try. They are very easy to apply and remove which is a big plus. Like PB's you can use them in the sun too!

I've always liked the "glow" Buetterwax gave me truck. It's the only bottle of wax I have that I've completely used up.

I like the MF towels. Like Nick I have a special spot for them on my shelf.

The only thing I don't like about Adam's product line is the polishes! I can't remove swirls, only hide them for a couple days and they reappear.

The detail spray is great, the problem I had is that I HAD TO LEARN to apply a small amount (like s&w). A little goes a long way, if I use too much I get dark shadows. It's a great detailer though.

Recently I've found a great love for SSR1 and EX-P so I don't think I'll get to use any Adam's waxes for a while, but thats not to say they aren't good. They are better than most of the stuff I've used and Adam's a nice guy to talk too.
 
I'll retract my statement saying the QD sucks, I just prefer S&W over Adam's. However, going by Nick's posts my general use for QD is more of a waterless wash since my truck sits outside all the time so I guess S&W is better for my purposes. But like I've read here before find what you like and use it often, not everyone is going to prefer the same products.

Everything else I've tried with Adam's has been top notch. I just recently bought a gallon of Butter Wax from Nick and wouldn't have done so if I didn't think it was a good product.
