Does Adam's have a "system"?

I'm sure Nick will address this, but I'm a recent convert to the Adam's "system". I went to a detail clinic in Sterling, VA a couple of weeks ago and the shop owner did a fine job with the products, so now I'm sold. Or at least I'm trying to be!

So I'm on Adamspolishes.com and I need everything. All of it. However, I'm finding that a lot of the neat tools I saw in action at the clinic are no longer being sold by Adam's.

Firehose nozzle.
Quick disconnect
Shutoff valve
Boar's hair wheel brush
detailing cart
Porter Cable polisher
etc...

And the formula's are changing.

Super Sealant. Going, going, gone.
Waterless wash?
etc...

I got a response from Nick about the firehose nozzle, in particular. "We are coming out with a new product, stay tuned!" Seriously?

There seems to be a gap in their "system" right now. Maybe I'm just a new guy who doesn't know much about serious detailing. Actually, that's exactly who I am. I'm about to spend 6-700 dollars on detailing products. And that still isn't going to be everything. That's a lot of money and I'm going to have to detail my 3 cars a few times before I start to see a return on that investment.

So, I'm wondering. Should I ditch Adam's and go with another system before I make this investment? Before you respond, please remember I am looking for a system. I have a cabinet FULL of mix and match detailing stuff. I want that gone from my garage forever. I want a brand and a system. And I want to stick with it.

Thoughts and opinions are welcome. I have learned a ton from Camaro5 members in the detailing forum. There are some really great threads and I have looked at a bunch of them--and a bunch of videos. Now it's time to put pad to paint...

Mods, If I'm in the wrong area please move this thread.

Thanks for reading my post...
