Howdy gents, been a while since I've been on. I've been following their brand new products but haven't tried any as I've been content using my current supplies.
Wow it sure does seem like Adam's is on a LSP over load. Granted, most brands have lots of LSPs but it's getting exceptionally confusing especially for newer users. Just check the comments on their Instagram posts and YouTube videos. Everybody asking what do each accomplish, what are the advantages, what is the process, how to layer, etc. I do not have a problem with lots of products IF each of them fill specific rolls but so many of them are moving into "do all" products that it becomes confusing even to experienced users as to what to use and what to ignore. I think for the betterment of the entire company, Adam's needs to develop/advertise a menu of 3-4 different "Formulas" or "Processes" for success if you will and then stop the pushing of different cross uses. I mean right now with 8-10 different paint LSPs alone, you have a massive amount of possible combinations if you want to layer 2-3 products!
Maybe a formula set could be:
$-$$$ Waxers - Not much durability, more for ease of use and shine (1 month maybe?)
Patriot/Americana + Glaze/Buttery/DS
$$ Sealers - More durability (6 months or less in my experience)
LPS + H2O GG
$$$ SIO2ers - More durability (6-8 months?)
Ceramic Spray Coating + CB/CPW
$$$$ Coaters - Most durability (1 year+)
Ceramic Coating + CSC/CB
I personally have pretty mediocre results with most of Adam's LSPs. I tried almost all of them except their full Coating and Patriot/Ceramic Waxes. Honestly, none of them blew me away as far as durability. So I switched. I moved to Gyeon CanCoat and really loved the durability and ridiculous beading/ease of cleaning. Paired with their WetCoat and it's honestly a great system that blows sealants and hours of spraying, spreading, and buffing out of the water. But the new Ceramic Spray Coating got me interested. I do love the Ceramic Boost 2.0 and I use it on every surface except glass and I've been somewhat impressed but the 3-6 months is hot air. I never saw "beading" past a month or two on any of Adam's products and I applied all properly across a small fleet of vehicles.
Ceramic Spray Coating may be enough to pry CanCoat out of my hands and I'd probably top it monthly with Ceramic Boost 2.0. Anybody used CSC yet? As a fan of the previous H2O GG (pre hybrid), the new formulation also has my curiosity; however, is there a need when you have CSC + CB 2.0?
Also. Glass routines. What is everybody doing? With all of these new products being able to applied to "all surfaces" why is Glass Sealant + Boost still a thing? Durability claims remain the same or better for the "paint" LSPs, plus there's no need to keep 2 different products/towels on the shelf for one purpose. Or is there?
There's no simple answer to this post. It's a read and discuss IMO.
Thoughts?
P.S. This is meant for nothing but constructive feedback/criticism to help fellow Shine Addicts and Adam's Polishes alike.
