The factory stuff will last for years. I don't know anything about what is in the Adam's stuff, but I can tell you it is not as good as what is already on there based on how frequently they tell you to apply it. Plus, the aftermarket stuff could hurt the effectiveness of the factory stuff.

Can you point me to the information that states this for a fact? I have never heard of such a thing re headlights, especially for a domestic vehicle. If that is the case, kudos to GM!

For the record, a simple coat of wax will never hurt a headlight lens, ever. Now, an abrasive polish, that is another story.
