other things and cheaper stuff can get a car clean, but nothing i've used comes close to adams.... for me, you have to be a real car nut to tell the true difference in quality and shine compared to other stuff. and for the price difference you have to be one!

BUT, since first trying adams (just got a gallon of detail spray in mail as i'm writing, yayyy) absolutely NOTHING will ever go on my car. it is truely the best product on the market and being in the USA and such great customer service. Adam's is unbeatable.

if you are asking about the hype and you are on here i'm guessing you are a car nut, so i advise you to go try some adams car shampoo and americana wax. and if that doesn't get you hooked on this stuff hell i'll give you my box of mcguiers stuff i use on other peoples cars that just don't deserve the adams quality.

can't say enough, adams has hands down the BEST stuff i've ever used. since day 1 only adams has touched my car and for me the extra time and money i put into adams on my car is sssooooo worth it, to the point even non car people are like "damn!" when they see it all cleaned up

I need to get a garage first or car port. I stay in a apt/ condo complex with no covering I wash my car twice a week damn near and the pollen is killing me to point I just washed it real good for the weekends and try to wipe it down during the week. I can not keep this damn thing clean with no garage. Currently looking at foreclosures and short sales

You know what you damn near never see in these Adam's love fests? Any actual reasons why Adam's products are any better than any other top tier products, or if you've ever even used any of them. Most of you probably came from OTC TW or Megs and so yeah, huge improvement. Tell me why Adams is better than Wolfs, Aquartz, CG, BFWD, Werkstat, Megs Pro, or a million other companies I can come up with. They all work. The blind following and insistence that it's better based on little to no research is nauseating.

Here, let me show you:

I believe Adam's SVRT is the finest tire dressing I've ever used. I've compared it to many other professional grade products such as Megs hyper. I like the finish it leaves and the durability.

I also use Adams car shampoo. I have compared it to Megs gold class, everything otc and Werkstat shampoo, to name just a few. I like the lubricity and suds it provides and it rinses clean.

actually going from many brands, adams is better. its easier to use, with better results, why is everyone loving adams? BECAUSE NOTHING BEATS ADAMS SHINE! try yourself before you b*tch about the rest of us standing up for this product, if you still don't like it. go join a different forum to discuss detailing. because adam's is the best and why we are all talking about it.



Oh and also, the fact you say adams svrt is the best thing for tire for shine/durability proves to me you haven't used that many products yourself first hand... because its amazing but the only non adams product i will use is my tire dressing and it simply won't be beat by anything.. I still love you adams polishes!!!! just my tires cheat a little

Shit shouldn't be on your hands anyhow--I wear gloves when I polish and wax. Nor should you be inhaling it.

It's probably good stuff, but I'm able to create one hell of an awesome shine just with even strokes of a wax pad and some generic caranauba wax, and wiping it down with a microfiber cloth. Lexol makes a devilishly good conditioner and cleaner product, but that doesn't matter much since our seats are plasticized (clear coated) leather. I don't know if Lexol is the best, but I can find it consistently which makes it worth the price, and the cleaners etc are pH neutral and the conditioners don't contain silicone.

If an Adams rep wants to send me product, I'll gladly try it out, take pics, whatever I need to do to promote the cause if it's actually good stuff and is better than my generic products. But I don't think it is. :: rib :: ...And I worked as a detailer and turned out some pretty awesome cars from scratched and swirled up messes.

I'm going to be honest, you can get almost as good of a look from cheaper products and by your post i'm guessing funds are a little tight (mine are to!) so if you wanna save money get some other stuff, but if you have a few more bones to shell out and want the BEST shine, i highly suggest you try this stuff and adams even has a 110% guarentee, they will pay you 10% of what you bought if you are unhappy.. don't believe the hype, don't follow the group, buy some, try some, you will never go back (unless your bank account won't let you)

I have used some Adams products, some I like some I didn't. The glass sealant that I bought (from a local distributor) isn't worth the money I spent on it. Too bad the local distributor doesn't offer the 110% refund. The funny thing is when I went to purchase a grit guard from him and mentioned the glass sealant, he himself said it doesn't last here at all. Where was his advice about this when I bought it?
If I do purchase anymore Adams products it will be through the internet.
