I saw the owner of this company on speed channel the other day..........

Anyone?

 

Never heard of it

 

becoming more and more known in the detailing world. i have a few of Adam's products.

 

A guy I knew bought a bunch of adams stuff because his name is adam. I wasn't impressed and I am a detailer.

 

interesting........they are a hit on the bimmer forums.......i used some of the detial spray today and it worked very well........

but thats only detail spray..........

 

anyone else?

 

VRT is a good dressing, his detailing sponges are nice... the guy is just a sales and marketing guy that happens to sell auto detailing products. his line is nothing to be amazed about, and nothing really stands out.

as most people will tell you, it's more the process than the product.

what are you looking to do? i'm sure there are a few of us that can make some good suggestions to you depending on your budget, car color, etc.

 

nothing out of the ordinary.........i'm just looking to keep my car looking great for a long time........

like everybody else.......

 

not that great, I'm just waiting for it all to run out

might be better if I had a Porter Cable, the polish is a ***** to use by hand

 

their stuff is pretty good... ive used their wax and instant detailer. it smells really good too, bad part is, they attract alot of bugs...

 

I've used their stuff and was impressed at first, but then I wasn't so happy because the car didn't feel slick anymore after the first wash. It was easy to put on by hand as opposed to others. Hey Serge03 I have a white car any suggestions on what I should use to protect it for stay outdoors all day and SoCal weather?

 

Adam's is okay...nothing special of their own making though. It's just rebottled Chemical Guys product like Poorboy's World.

 

for polishes: use Menzerna and Menzerna only. people try to reinvent the wheel; menzerna IS the wheel. they make the best polishes bar none. just pick up some final polish unless your paint is really bad; then some intensive polish should be used where needed.

for wax: depends on the color of your car... silver/gold i like acrylics like Menzerna FMJ. 1Z (einszett) makes a great carnuba based wax called Glanz. it really pops flake in silver/flaky paint. dark colors really look naked without a carnuba. carnuba has a limited life, but adds plenty of depth. there are tons of products out there. the most important thing to remember is that taking the proper steps to make your paint look right is more important than wax brand names.

lv05evo- it really depends on what you're looking to spend. if it were me, i would put up the cash and use FMJ. you can also top FMJ with a carnuba like Pinnacle Souveran. is all budget!

Mitchubishi- maybe you and i could have a little chat and put something together for the forum since more and more people seem to be interested in the proper upkeep of their vehicles. shoot me a PM

 

Since you're a detailer, what do you recommend? Like products, rubbing compound, polishing compound, wax, etc....

 

Yeh I saw adams detail products on truck universe on Speed the other day too. Got me wondering if they were in fact good products. Serge03 where can you get the products you mentioned? Do you have to order them online?
