Hello everyone.
I came across adams due to the comparisons with other products on the market specifically chemical guys. I liked adams due to the explanation of their products and in the videos.
The big problem I had in the past with my last two cars was paint fade and cracking. Specifically, my Mitsubishi Eclipse that I no longer own. Of course being that it was black in color did not help things. Now, I am an owner of a Hyundai Elantra 2014 and I want to be sure to protect the paint for years to come. As it has only 19900 miles, it's practically still a brand new car and still has that new car smell. I park the car in a car port and the left side is where it would get the most sun. I am considering putting a sheet or something to block the sun. Now at work, it's in the open so you can see how much I would like to protect the paint as much as I can.
I have used numerous products. For car wash I use meguiars gold and it does a good job. For tire shine, I have used black magic foam. I am going to try the adams tire cleaner and tire shine to see if the shine lasts longer than the meguiars 2-3 day shine.
now sealant and wax I was considering getting the:
1) Adams Paint Sealant
2) Adams Brilliant Glaze
3) Adams Detail Spray.
I may consider the butter wax at a later time.
Now, in the order of application, do I do # 1 first then use 2 and 3 together? I saw one video where I think that's what they did. I was just checking. I figure if I use those products, it would look better than anything I've tried in the past.
Also, how often do you guys have to wash your cars? I saw Adams video where he pointed out if the water beads up on the surface that the sealant is likely no longer good, whereas if it runs off, it's still good and applying a glaze and detail spray can still apply.
I know I've typed a lot but I want to be sure if I get those 3 products plus the wheel spray and tire shine that I should be on my way to a good clean shine. If you have other suggestion let me know and I'll give them consideration.
I'm also likely to get the 2 of the soft towels and the yellow hex for the brilliant product and the blue microfiber pads for the sealant since I have no machine.
Thanks guys.
