Adams is ok stuff, I think its more for the average user. If you have serious defects in the paint, its not for you. If your paint is in good shape with minor swirls you'd be ok with Adams polishes.

I've used their "buttery wax", goes on easy, comes off easy, good shine, it just doesnt last too long, its more of a liquid, have not used their "Americana" paste...FWIW

Adam is a really nice guy. I met him at Barrett Jackson last year. Very hospitable.

I like their Glass Cleaner, VRT dressing, and Detail Spray. Everything else is just average, IMO.

there glass cleaner is the best i have used(i used it 2 times then my wife jacked it lol)
i love the undercarage spray but it smells way to strong and if i detail one of the cars and put it in the garage the smell comes in the house and is very strong.

the detail spray is also very good but i havent used there whole line but you can also get it from summitracing and there a little cheaper than geting it from adams

have you tried Stoners Invisible Glass cleaner, the can version, not the spray bottle? It is the best I've tried so far.


Adams Polishes are good but they smell great lol!

They are the only products I use, as I get more then the shine I am after, with a very easy application and removal process... Here are some pictures of the shine it gives a silver car.

I use pretty much only Adams line of products, a few otc things for the wheels as the VRT doesn't give the glossy look on the tires that I prefer. I absolutely love the entire line of products otherwise. The Americana paste wax is phenomenal IMO, easy application and removal, leaves no white residue, three coats on top of the machine applied products, and it's like a mirror. I use it on my Electron Blue Vette and I detail the car about every 6 months or so, as it is driven on weekends and nice days, my wife's black Altima looks amazing after the same treatment. The Americana wax is better for dark colored cars, with white and silver cars it doesn't deepen the color, but still looks good. On red, black and dark blues it makes the paint look wet and miles deep when prepped and treated correctly. Your SOM would look incredible!! Buy it and don't look back, you wont' regret it!
