I'm in love with the entire Adams line.

You won't find a whole lot of other products on my shelves.

Everything I use is Adams, except for the cheapo micro fibers i use to clean nasty stuff like undercarriage, carpets and stuff like that. I nearly have everything from the Adams line and have been blow away by everything. The fire hose nozzle and undercarriage spray especially caught me off guard at how awesome these products are!!

I also use a portable water deionizer so that I don't get water spots on the sunny days. I use the term portable loosely as the thing weighs a ton and it's pretty large. It can be moved though.

Zaino for me.

I've used their products close to 15 years. I am still surprised at the number of times I'm asked about the paint; "It's a repaint, right?" "Has the car recently been painted?" etc..... Every time, people are shocked to know that the paint is "factory".

Recently I attended a car show where trophies were awarded for the "best detailed" cars. Two things occured that night to reinforce my loyalty towards Zaino;

1. While I was doing some "touch-up" work at the show, I had a guy walking around the car repeatedly, looking it over, top to bottom. This was followed by many questions, quite a few about the condition of the paint. Apparently, he owns a business where he locates cars for clients (anyone who has seen 'Chasing Classic Cars' knows what I'm referring to) and he was very interested in my SS. Apparently he has been looking for some good examples and was interested in my SS. I told him it wasn't for sale.

2. Of the 100+ cars in attendance that night, 5 cars were awarded for "best detailed"....the SS was one of them.

I'm not saying any other product isn't good. You just have to find what works best for YOU, and stick with it. For me, it's always been Zaino.

Have tried a few so far.
-- Lower Price - Turtle Wax Ice - clay kit $18, detail spray $6, polish $6
-- Upper Price - Started with Zaino. Good product but still had swirl issues. Only hand polished and waxed after clay bar. 3 coats of Z5 really looked good but was not happy after a week or a rain storm.
-- Currently - Was sold on ADAMS at Fest II. Bought entire porta cable kit. Unbelievable results with haze/swirl remover. Not perfect but still learning proper technique. I know it's expensive, but, if your in a car club, it can be shared (porta cable that is) for cost of product / where and tear of unit. Americana Wax, Detail Spray (Smells really good). Can't go wrong with Adam's and worth the extra spent on kit.

Zaino Z2, Z5, Z6, Z7, Z8, Z9, Z10, border free blonde towels are great. Also Adam's SHR, FMP, polishing pads on Porter Cable for paint correction. Adam's VRT for tires and trim. Their drying towels and wash pads are excellent. The Foam Gun for washing.
I am expecting another Adam's shipment any day. Can't wait to try out some new wheel brushes and the Fire Hose Nozzle.

Sam's Club 25 count 16" micro towels $12 ... I'm on my third pack now, and I rotate them. The oldest get used on wheels only, newest on paint surfaces, the middle ones for glass.
