What products do you use?

I personally have been drinking the Adam's Kool-Aid (I mean undercarriage spray). But I was wondering what products those of you use that are comparable to those in the Adam's line. Come on anti-Adam's folks, now's your chance to voice your opinion (for once ).

Have you tried Adam's and found something better? For the Zaino folks out there, I know whats comparable but feel free to post. I've just been more impressed by paper towels and furniture polish than Zaino.

Here's some of what I've replaced my Adam's stuff with.

Turbo Stick = Daytona Speed Brush

The Speed brush is easier to use and does a great job getting in there, granted I do get brake dust sprayed all over when pulling it out of the spokes.

Adam's Glass Cleaner = Meguiars Quik Glass Cleaner

Adam's Glass Cleaner is the only product in their line I would never use again. Left a gross film on my glass. Quik Glass Cleaner is the best I've ever used.

I use Blackfire products to polish and wax now. As far as cleaning on the wheel area I use a small bristle brush with some soap and soft scrub (think I pay $2 for a bottle) tire shine is Meguiars Endurance. I have used Adams glass cleaner, found that invisible glass is just as good $2.99 a can. I have Adams glass sealant bit it doesn't last long at all here on Hawaii. I do use Adams leather conditioner/cleaner. Adams does have a good line I just find it easier to purchase what I currently use because I can get it all local here on the island.

I asked the same question about blackfire. The recommendation I got wad the wet over ice combo(I think that's the name). I was able to find a local shop here on the island and bought the paint protection and the midnight sun wax. Used both of them this past week and I'm sold on Blackfire now. Prior to this I used Meguiars 2.0 wax.
