Zaino customer 1st Adams Purchase

I have been a Zaino Bros Customer since 1996 I have loved that stuff my, buddy was detailing his IBM 2011 SS last weekend with Adams Polishes and I loved the results on his car I was really low on my detailing products so I said he'll why not give Adams a try plus the 10% discount is nice (15 years with Zaino and no discounts) so I am going to give Adams a try and see if I like it....

Here is what I ordered keeping fingers crossed I get the stuff by Friday for my car show on Saturday.

Wish me luck
Sean

I just posted this and then saw this thread.

I was wondering if Adams has a similar product to Zaino's ZPC.

Adam's has the Severe Swirl Remover, which is the most aggressive of their line. The next one down is Swirl and Haze Remover.

LOL... I've gone the same way one bottle at a time.

I just like the Adams guy who is always available at car shows and meets... Get my stuff right from him and support the cause too.

it seems to be more steps than the Zaino ZPC.

My experience with the ZPC is to use that and wax/polish right over...

Thats because its a fairly mild 1 step polish, really an apples and oranges comparison.

We offer 3 grades of polish... it doesn't mean that you need to use all 3. The condition of the paint dictates the steps needed. If the paint is decent shape it may take as little as 1 pass of Fine Machine Polish... if its in bad shape it might take all 3 steps. With ZPC you have 1 option and 1 option only and as I'm sure we can all agree there is a range of conditions for paint to be in... no one product is going to solve all paint problems.
