Adams vs. Zaino?
I did a lot of research about a nice waxing and detailing kit and I came down to Adams and Zaino, since they're both great i cant make a choice, can you guys help? which one is better Adams or Zaino?

Its all preference. I did the same research as you and I have the Adam's Junkman Special being delivered as we speak. The results I seen from Adam's products were jaw dropping. Tons of knowledge on this forum for Adam's products. You have Dylan, Ryan, and Junkman who are all very knowledgeable with the products and on the forum regularly to answer your questions... Not knocking Zaino though they have some awesome products I just felt for my situation Adam's was a better choice. Plus you can support a site sponsor by going with Adams.

IMO, you can go wrong with either.
While I've never used Adams (yet), the reviews are all good. I've been using Zaino for over 10 years and still love the results. Ed |

Hello!
|
Much like Moose...I've used Zaino for the better part of 10 years and love the product! I've been looking at Adams the last week or so though to compare them.
I am goign to order the full kit with the porter cable and give it a go I think...I like the ideal of a machined finish so we'll find out soon enough. Still have my full kit of Zaino though... |

i have both. and both have great products. If you prefer to hand wax/polish go with zaino. the zaino z2 makes my car look wet and deep.
i do love the adams car shampoo, waterless wash, detail spray, glass cleaner, and towels i did get the adams kit with the pc polisher. its a different experience. since my car is new, garaged, and not a daily driver i dont really need to hit it with a machine polisher yet. so i wash and dry with adams products, then polish with zaino !! if you can afford it, get basic kits from both.

I've used zaino and Adams. I prefer Adams, for quick/beginning stuff. If im going to head out to a show or something, then I'll use zaino as it does get a deeper look to it.

I have both and it depends on what I'm doing to which company I use.
For paint correction, all cleaning (both interior and exterior), and all interior care I use Adam's. Not to mention Adam's accessories are second to none. For waxing and sealing the paint and for tire treatment I use Zaino. Zaino is much more durable then Adam's not to mention it beads water and gives the paint a depth and shine that Adam's comes no where near matching. Remember this is all imo as I have and use both. |

I have used both. I'm an Adam's user now. The products seem to come off easier. The difference is size of the bottles I think I get a little more for my money. I do prefer Zaino's Grand finale spray better. Adam's glass cleaner, leather and interior cleaner,
leather and interior protectant (which I just used this morning) are outstanding. The buttery wax is fool proof. Like most have said it is a preference. Try the Adam's for yourself. They have a 110% gaurantee that includes the tax and shipping. No one gives you that. |
