Why are Adams products so expensive? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I would like to start by saying that I am a fairly new adams user and this stuff is the best there is. With that being said, I would like to purchase more adams products, but I dont unserstand why it's so expensive? Does it really cost that much to produce this stuff, or is alot of the cost going towards profit? I totally believe in the term "You get what you pay for", but this may be a little overboard...

High quality products hardly ever come cheap. There's a lot of marketing considerations as to price points, but there has to be some profit included at the end of the day.

If you're comparing it to OTC products then yes they're expensive. But with that price comes results and they have the best customer service I've ever come across.

old saying, "you get what you pay for".

if they were expensive and not worth the money, do you think that they would get many repeat customers?

Don't you think that those that try the product have tried "over the counter" products and noticed a big difference?

One thing you notice here are that those that buy Adams swear by it and order it again and again........

I am still waiting for my car. I use OTC products for my wife's BMW 635, so when I get Adams for my camaro, I should be able to give a first hand comparison.

Most of us tend to watch the daily specials, then pounce on the products we need as they become the special...

Quality is not cheap,sad to say they have one rep who needs to be shown the door.

Not just Adam's!! I use a mix of Adam's and Meguires professional products.

Like the others said, you get what you pay for...

However, I have never really sat down and figured out the true costs of using each. It seams like I use less of the higher priced preoducts. The higher priced stuff seams to last longer....

Another thing I appreciate by both of these companies is the amount of time and money they have invested in training videos online, etc. How many companies have the forums they do, and have employees actively involved on them?

They both have great customer service.

I can accept paying more from a company that has done both of these!!!

WELL SAID

Its expensive because its good sh**! You want them to give you the stuff for free or pennies over production and distribution costs? The company needs profits to make sure the product we get is amazing and continues to be amazing. Yes its expensive but everytime I wash my car I see its worth and everyone else does when they stare. Yes there are cheaper products at wal mart but they don't compare to adams quality and durability.

I'm the worst tightwad in the world. I was very skeptical Adam's stuff would be worth the $. But after 2 months of using it, I'm hooked. I've never looked back. Their stuff is freakin' fantastic!

Are you really qualified to claim that title?

Adams products work, plain and simple. Plus they are made in the USA.

jsharp · 10-14-2011, 05:21 PM

They offer daily specials and often sales for every holiday. Shop wisely with them and you will save some money and get a premium product!

moonshine · 10-15-2011, 12:06 AM

i agree. it's expensive, but it does what I want and others always comment on it.
