I have seen posts about it. Most of the time the answer for me has been to go with the wheel woolie in those cases. There is a smaller brush sold over in the UK I think might work well, but unsure if it’s sold anywhere in the US. It’s called Vikan. See attached pic. Maybe Adams could carry this or as you mentioned come out with one.

A problem with the first batch? I have one from the first batch and it works great. And while I’m cool with people leaving a bad review, It’s more around how valid the review is. Two of the bad reviews seemed to indicate the product worked fine and then didn’t. I would be willing to bet that is around user error in both cases. So the validity of those two reviews is greatly reduced. The other review talked about receiving a used product. I would be highly skeptical of that although it could happen. Regardless, the reviewer stated they didn’t want to spend the time to reach out to Adams. So they basically took all the ability away from Adams to be able to make it right. Again, that review is diminished. It’s like a review where a person goes to a restaurant and has bad service, but instead of feeding the info to the head of the restaurant and possibly coming away satisfied, they decide to go out on Yelp and blast the restaurant. And as to your point about the direction of Adams, they have been selling other companies products branded with the Adams logo for as long as I can recall. I’ve been a customer for 10 years and I can tell you that has very little impact on me as a customer. I realize they are looking to offer a wide variety of products for Detailers and people who just want to maintain their vehicle. They are also one of the few companies who support the products with a wealth of info and videos and back EVERYTHING THEY SELL.

i guess I could play Devils advocate to everything this post is about and say it’s good people are bringing user related issues forward to Adams so they can supplement their product info with some FYI instructions around maintaining the sprayer.

Agreed sir. Well I will review it when I get a chance and bring the rating up some. I have the IK already and I am sure the Adams version is just as good. I plan to use the Adams one for tires and the standard IK on paint. I really have found a ton of use with mine and the dwell time makes it perfect for front ends with bugs and lower panels with heavy build up. I guess others haven’t found them quite so awesome but oh well. 🤷‍♂️

So I was looking at maybe picking up the Adams version of the Foaming sprayer. Saw the reviews were really bad. But in reading them, I’m of the opinion they could be trolls. One guy says it worked great then not so good anymore. You have to maintain it by cleaning the aerator within the head. Otherwise it will gum up and quit working. The other review talks about receiving a used sprayer. I recommend contact Adams, I’m sure they will make it right. You might even be surprised just how right this company can make things for you when something has gone wrong:) I have been. So neither of those reviews have much merit to me and I think they really didn’t warrant getting posted. Maybe Adams needs to do like Amazon and have a place in the review where they can respond to reviews of this nature.

I asked this same question. Never really got a very solid answer. Seeing you have noticed a difference as well and the labels being updated would lead me to believe the answer is yes. Unfortunately the Forums seem to get more buzz around sales and new hoodies and there doesn’t seem to be an expert Adams rep on here much. Anyway, glad to see someone else had the same question and now I think we both have solid answers👍

A few products I would add if you don’t have that can take your Detail game to new heights. I routinely use all of these.

Tire and Rubber Cleaner

Green Glass Cleaner

Glass Sealant

Leather conditioner (Great on dash and doors too)

UFO applicator

Glass towels

Wheel woolies

Trim and Lug nut brush

Invisble Undercarriage Spray

Thanks for all the info. I have some glass polish and pads on the way. I’ll give it a shot and see how it goes.

Nope.  None of Adam's polishes will touch that.  You need a glass polishing product which is a huge, messy job.  Might be better to replace the windshield.

 

Thanks Roger. I saw some of it on Amazon. Might have to give it a shot. Not too worried about mess. 

This is probably a very uncommon concern, but I was curious if anyone has had success polishing/removing the scratches in the windshield from the wiper blades. I just bought a used Crown Vic and it has some pretty bad scratches from where the wipers were probably poorly maintained. Would there be anything in the Adams line I could use to get those out? I have all the paint and metal polishes offered by Adams as well as every pad type. I was thinking a mf pad with metal polish might be the best combo to try. Just looking for some advice here. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

One method I have used is the actual wash pad that I use for the lower portion of the car along with a lug nut brush and sometimes even a wheel woolie. Of course that’s after a pretreat using RW and I also have a bucket of soapy water. After all of that, I typically hit it with RW again and use a mf towel to get all the water off of it. It’s probably an overkill process but it works. After it’s dry I will usually glaze it also. But I’m a bit anal about my door jambs.

Heyyyyyy! They fixed it!!!!

Does anyone know if the Foaming Leather and Interior Cleaner scent recently changed? I have an 8 oz bottle of the Foaming version bought about a year ago and I just got a gallon a few weeks back and the two have nothing in common scent wise. I guess I’m wondering if what I received was the correct chemical. The scent isn’t bad, it’s just way different. Anyway, not a huge issue, just curious.

I used it on a black plastic Bluetooth speaker. A Soundcast VG7. Worked pretty well.

Went and seen Jamey Johnson a month or so ago, and the bands semi trailer was painted just like the one from the movie. Wish I would have taken a picture.

 I saw that too Rich! Made an already cool musician that much cooler in my opinion

Emery it sounds like you guys really do need some more reps. I did see where there are some job postings. So hopefully you guys will get the support you need to support all of us! We are a needy bunch sometimes and perhaps a little spoiled by people like yourself. Keep up the good work fella ??

I found a work around. I just scroll below the main preview banner and I can click shop without triggering that link or the Logo link to the main page.

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but it seems the upper left hand Adams Logo on the main site is now encroaching on the Shop link. See attached photo. It makes it very difficult to select the link. I have an IPad Air running the latest version. It seems this started maybe a few weeks back.

Did a maintenance wash on a customers GMC. Used the Wash and Wax and I gotta say I am impressed.

Adams stands behind their products like no other detail supplier will. And they treat people the right way. Glad they took care of you Ken, thanks for sharing your experience!

What about a gallon of original Detail Spray and the bottle with the clear sprayer? When I say original, The current DS is V2. Original smells better IMHO.

Thanks Rich I agree. It will probably just be a very small dilution of ON if I try it at all.

Shane thanks for the reply. I was just thinking mixing it in with the cleaner might actually be more effective than spraying it into,the,vehicle. As most carpet cleaners actually have a scent, the Adams cleaner does not. So I was thinking to infuse some with the ON.

Just curious if anyone has mixed a solution of warm water, carpet and upholstery cleaner, and Odor Neutralizer for use on musty cloth seats. I am thinking about trying that. I have a car that has apparently had a dog living inside of it and the smell is awful. Probably just a half an ounce or so of the ON to half a gallon of water and three ounces or so of the carpet cleaner. 

Thoughts or suggestions?

I can attest, Emery is the man, dude has helped me out a ton. The guy gets it, and exceeds expectations. It’s rare to see that these days.

Dwell time and cling is greatly,increased. So that lets the softening agents and emulsifiers do more work on grime. I have used mine with a few ounces of soap, twenty sprays of APC, a few drops of Rinseless and the rest water. I use that for pretreatment of dirty lower portions of trucks, wheels, and bug guts. It works pretty nicely. You can see the mud and grime melting off the vehicle. After that dwells and basically dries for real dirty trucks, I blast with a hose and there’s very little left to have to scrub or agitate. On wheels, I go to scrubbing while it’s still foamy.
