Default Just found out!

So my great buddy just told me he just got a hook on anything from Adam's.

Ive never tried anything from Adam's before except the QD because of the smell.

I'm going to make a list of things to get but I need a little help with input and thoughts from the experts...

So far I have...

-Detail Spray
-Undercarriage Spray
-All purpose cleaner
-Leather & Interior cleaner
-Carpet & Upholstery cleaner


Have any of you tried the VRT, leather conditioner, and buttery wax?

I have em all, and I have used em all, and I love em all!

VRT is great, leaves your wheels naturally wet-looking, but not shiney and oily.
Buttery Wax, great product, I use it as a finisher over my Z2.

The ONLY products I like more than Adams are Zainos Carwash and Learther cleaner/conditioner. I think Zainos Car Wash suds up 5000% better, and Zaino leather treament products smell like leather in a bottle.

Adam's in no way is related to Chemical Guys or affiliated with their operations. Some of the negative people on that forum tend to stir up this question from time to time (i guess it makes them feel good inside) and the conversations just get ugly.

My personal feelings are this: If you use a product and it works great for you, AWESOME!! Please by all means keep on using it! We welcome all brands and types of detailing products being discussed or recommend to other members. But when we get the unfortunate people from that site spreading negative press about our company, it is just really sad to watch. We just say to those folks, "Come on guys, it's just car polish."

I hope this helps to clear the air about Adam's and CG. Please feel free to contact me anytime about this topic if you would like additional information.

Thanks,

-Dale

Ofcourse Adam's will defend themselves, the only way to know the truth is if CG speaks up but I doubt they care enough to even say anything.

Plus, even if Adam's did relable using CGs program, thats a plus because id know ill be paying cheaper for CG products going through Adam's than CG direct.

Meh, I could care less if Adam's is CGs. Our sponser (Philip Yiu) is quite possibly the best person to work with on the internet. Always throws extra goodies in your order, will help with anything he can, and always gives us s2ki guys great discounts, specials, and group buys.

I would buy from Phil even if CG was a little cheaper, because I want to support a member who supports us.
