PRODUCT REVIEW: ADAMS TURBO STICK

So after some time of wanting to try out the turbo stick from adams, I was at a local shop here in Colorado that sales Adams supplies and I saw one for sale so i pulled the trigger.

At first inspection I noticed that the material was pretty good, the actual stick was sturdy. The cloth arms were very good material, but I was worried that they would scratch my rims...so I proceeded with caution once the wash came about.

I was very excited to use the stick and even bragged about it to my fiance...she gave me the regular and went about her way. I noticed some light dusting on our cars so that gave me every inclination to wash haha.

So finally got to it...NOTE: I began the review of product on my fiances truck first, as I mentioned earlier that I was worried how the cloth would slightly scratch my rims.

I first gave the rims a quick foam squirt just to let some of the dirt run off, then got my rim bucket and tool and then rinsed.

I did notice that with the stick attached to a drill, you can get waay back in the rim and clean and losen the grime and dirt.

I did notice that I was able, with the turbo stick, to even lightly clean the brake calipers in hard to reach spots. Mix that with a light spin and you can pretty much clean anywhere in the rim area.

If you notice in the pic with My car that I have another tool to clean rims but I keep that to cleaning the service and some cracks and such. This combo works great.

PROS: Easy to use, works incredibly good with drill. It can get into hard to reach places within the wheel area.

CONS: Can splatter everywhere if used with a drill. So make sure that when you turn it with drill, make sure your inside the wheel area.


Overall I must say that I did not notice any scratches from the stick (although when I spun it with the drill, I went kind of light) and it is great for getting in those hard to reach places especially on the inside of the rim and even in front of the brakes.
