For some reason ive been using Adams stuff for over a year and never knew there was a forum haha, tons of great info here, lots of clean cars too
 
So ive got all the usual stuff to keep my machines shiny but i do lots of road track days and have recently been running slicks, which now likes to sling rubber/tar all over the sides of my car. I do know of Mothers R3 and Stoner Tarminator but id like to see if anyone has suggestions on some Adams products that might work before i go and buy something else. I ordered the new wash/wax soap, rubber cleaner and stripper soap so if one of those works ill be in business, if not im open to suggestions!
 
Here's my toys:
 

 


 

Never got to try the red Car Shampoo... my first purchase was shortly after they discontinued the red formula soap, not very throwback, except I have plenty of bottles with the older label design.

Pink eraser for the win! Kept one in my trunk for these circumstances in high school.

The toothbrush or similar is needed to get the residue out of the textured plastic. Scrubbing with a towel does not get into the recesses. I recommend taping off the paint so you don't scratch the paint with whatever brush you are using.

Can you share any pictures of the affected area Billy if you're still working on it?

I have always found warm water, not cold or hot, can be the difference in suds.Plus agitating with a powerful stream of water or power washer has worked well for me lately. It should be a nice consistent lather of suds on your wash pad.

i used 2 descent squirts about 2oz at most i bet with 4 gallons of water, had great suds allowing the wash pad to glide nicely.

all dry

this is how the paint was reacting in comparison to the windows and trim. 
 

Very nice review. I actually had the chance to try the Wash and Wax this morning. The car I was washing was a VW Tiguan that had not been washed in a few months. The car previously had Glaze and LPS applied. The car was fairly dirty with a good amount of bugs on the front bumper. 
 
As far as cleaning the car it did a great job but I needed a pre-soak for the bugs. I did not use the foam cannon but maybe that would have helped... I was also thinking foaming the car with strip wash prior to a 2 bucket wash with the Wash and Wax could work well together, might help Wash and Wax to leave behind a better layer of protection???
 
What I also noticed was that the water did not want to sheet as well as the windows or plastic and would literally sit on the paint. Not sure if it due to my previous protection the car??? So I then decided to mist the car with detail spray to help with towel drying. The front hood got very streaky at first and the water did not want to soak up at first, after a few minutes it started to dry better. 
 
Maybe I did not rinse it with enough pressure, cause I made sure to rinse it well. I will definitely try it with a power washer next time and possibly doing a strip wash first to see how that works.
 
Overall a great product, with a wonderful smell and plenty of gloss!

That shine is awesome! I have yet to use Brilliant Glaze on top of H2OGG, but I did apply it under LPS and they worked well together. I generally stick with detail spray after H2OGG as it adds shine and helps remove any water that dripped out of the jams etc. I think I need to try the Glaze with the Guard and Gloss.

Opened my labor day order. No frisbee but recieved a bonus great white drying towel, which is even better than a frisbee.

I'm thinking you have ridden before...often!   You're talented.

No, he was gone. He is racing MotoAmerica 600 Supersport this coming weekend at the same track. 
 
My lap times were very similar and in another race I was able to get behind before he got away. I wasn't able to pass but was with him for 5 plus laps and then we hit lapped traffic.
