So I bought a few Adams products to get the daily ready for the winter months and I'm very happy with the results.
First, Strip Wash: Worked great, seemed to take any of my old wax and detail sprays off the truck. All the sealant products applied very smoothly so definitely would say it worked.
Second, Visco clay with Detail Spray: Worked absolutely awesome. My truck's paint felt pretty smooth, surprisingly, and there wasn't that much on the clay bar. But after I was done, the paint felt like waxed glass, and I hadn't even added any product yet. I wish you got a little more clay for $20 (just for the clay reload) but it is supposed to last a while. Other negative was I used a good 3/4 of my Detail Spray (Crew cab, 6' bed truck). Took off some over spray I had on the windshield and a front wheel.
Third, Liquid Paint Sealant: It applied very easily to my paint, chrome, and glass. It was about 55 degrees while I was sealing it and I had the truck inside. I must say, it was an absolute nightmare to remove but I'm blaming that on 95-100% humidity due to consistent rains for the last few days. I had to flip the towel every swipe, ended up using a Double and 2 Singles to get all the sealant off and had to rub quite feverishly. My triceps and forearms took a beating. Other than being tough to remove due to Humidity, it was a great process. Went on very easily, leaves the finish very smooth and decently glossy. I have 10" wide wheels with -24 mm off offset so they have a pretty wide lip to the wheel and I sealed that too, hopefully that keeps them in good condition through the winter (No salt etching).
Fourth, H2O Guard and Gloss: Again, very simple to apply via the dry method. The borderless gray towels are very soft and did a great job of laying down the H2O and buffing it off. No issues here. It added a great amount of slickness to the surface as well as making the paint look even more glossy. I wouldn't need any more aesthetics than H2O GG can provide on a white daily truck. I applied it to a door panel while it was raining yesterday and the water "runs" away from the spray just like it does in the videos. I drove it through rain earlier today before I did the full detail and it was night and day difference in how the rain flew off the panel/window vs the basic Meguiars Cleaner wax I had on the other door.
I think next on the list is some regular Adam's Shampoo and washpads as well as some more Detail Spray and H2O G&G. Also looking at Glass Cleaner and Sealant. Next summer I'll be going in for some paint correction products as well as Americana Wax and Brilliant Glaze.
Definitely already addicted to Adam's products.
Can add some pictures of the truck once I get some good ones.
