I would cop this but Adams seems too expensive for my taste sometimes.
Could you pm me what specifically you're looking for and your budget? I'd be more than happy to see if we can't get a good plan set up for you, but I'd rather not do it in this thread.
. Thanks

That is impressive.

If I were to ever stick to only one brand, it would be a tough choice between Adam's, Chemical Guys and Meguiar's..

No worries man I understand your comment. But think for a second that 90 percent of camaro owners dont even know what a clay bar is.........

Even stuff like glass cleaner to me is a little

windex costs like 2 dollars per bottle and I think that works great, yes the 20 dollar meguiars gallon of window cleaner might work better. But is that price worth the difference? Not to me at least.

I do spend alot on detail products but i have more quantity over quality.
which isnt always great, but more cost effective and gets the job done.

Sorry about the thread jack CamaroDream.

This Adams product looks great I might have to order some of this. Lasting over a week is crazy to me!

A great review by CD makes me want to buy this product soo bad.

Just wondering since you have R1 drilled and slotted rotors how do you get them clean and shiney again? I just installed mine and washed the car for the first time and they seem to have some surface rust on them from the water and the dust the HPS pads left behind. So that's why i was wondering what you used. Not sure if the surface rust will start to go away once i start driving though.

The rust goes away after you drive for a minute. Nothing you have to do.

Good stuff Matt, thanks for the update! Your findings are pretty consistent with what we've seen as well. It does NOT like to come off your tires, that's for sure!

This juice got bumped down a couple rungs on the priority list as we have been putting a lot of energy into some upcoming releases, but once those are let out into the wild (very soon ) we will continue to dial in this tire dressing and have it out ASAP!

Can't imagine what else needs dialing in, but hurry. I'm almost out!

Any opinions on how this would work on a 1LE hood? I like the way the SVRT finishes but I kinda want something that will last longer. I would like a once a month treatment. Right now I'm at about a every 2 weeks pace. The stuff I was using before that was every few days once a week at best.

I apply then let it soak in for 5 min or so then buff off most of it with a MFT to kill most of the shine. I like more of a satin finish vs. a matte one.

Not recommended. Try some Ultima Tire and Trim Guard.
