I have used Adam's Visco Clay Bar Kit for the last 2 years with good results. This year I've noticed Adam's Fine Grade Clay Bar. It is obviously cheaper and you get more product. I detail a 2016 White Tacoma and a 2016 RAV 4 every spring. Any one have any thoughts or ideas as to which is the better product for me? Thank You.

Of all the tire products that I have ever used, VRT is by FAR the nicest product that I have ever used. It gives a fantastic result on my tires. In my opinion is is a bit time consuming to use, and slightly messy as I always use gloves to apply it. But in the end its well worth it. It doesn't sling off and seems to hold up well, not to mention that fantastic appearance it gives my tires. Hope this helps!

I have the Weathertech Cleaner and Conditioner. While pricey, It seems to work well despite that I have only used it once. I believe that Weathertech has an ebay store and that's where I got it from. It believe that it is meant to be a 2 step process, as to clean the mats first and then finish them with the conditioner.

I used Adam's Visco clay last spring on both of our new vehicles. I suppose I'd say I had good results with it, although it is my very first experience with clay. As I eagerly await spring I'm beginning to stock up on my detailing supplies. To those with past experience, how often should my detailing clay be replaced? 

I apologize if this has been covered previously. For years I simply cannot find a decent car washing sponge. I'm NOT a fan of car wash mitts. I'm just looking for a simple old fashioned car wash sponge that will last for more than one or two washes. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

I have always had to best success with the B______ White stuff, but I always shy away from it when I get a new truck. It's strong stuff and I worry that it might damage my wheels. I just don't really know.

I was forever replacing my garden hose. I finally broke down and purchased Flex-O-Gen hose made by Gilmour. Lifetime Guarantee. Best purchase I've ever made. If the hose ever fails, Cut off the couplings and send it back. They will send you a new section of hose. Can't beat it.

Awesome Comments and Advice. Thanks Everyone!

Hello All! I'm very anxiously awaiting my 1st ever order of Adam's Products to be delivered tomorrow. I have ordered the new Visco Clay Bar Kit and plan on using it on my new 2016 Tacoma. I'm reaching out because I have never used clay in my life but have heard many many good things about its use. Still, I'd be lying if I said I'm not a little nervous about using this product on my new ride. Any suggestions or pointers would be most appreciated!  Thank You.

Some has suggested 303 Aerospace Protectant. Not sure if that or an all purpose cleaner would be better.

Have only had the truck for 14 days. Have not put anything in the cup holders yet. The scuff marks or what I believe to be scuff marks were there the day I picked the truck up. So far I have ONLY wiped down the interior with a damp cloth, but that has done nothing. I can hardly believe that Toyota will allow a $39,000 truck to leave the factory like that.

I've only had my 16' Tacoma for only 2 weeks now. I've noticed these marks on my drivers side door. Does anyone know what they are from? Or what I can use to remove them.

 This forum seems like a wealth of information and I'm glad to be a part of it. I'm about ready to pull the trigger on my very first Adam's Purchase. I have but ONE question. I'm undecided about whether I should use Super VRT or Tire Shine for the tires on my 16' Tacoma. I get the sense that these are 2 different products which produce 2 different types of results. Any suggestions are appreciated.

The. First two pictures are of the passengers side headlight the last five I believe are of the drivers side headlight which I believe is worse than the other one

They should polish out fairly easy. Do you have the 4" Focus pads & backing plate for your drill?

They work great on head lights. Orange pad & PCP will do the trick then I would apply some LPS.

BTW in my experience taking it back to the dealership you may end up with more damage, do it yourself.

 Thank You everyone your advice. It is most appreciated. Chris I do not have any of the equipment that you spoke of and even if I did, I'm not sure that I would know how to use it. But you are exactly right. The dealership will ONLY F*cK it up even more. I REFUSE to take it back where it will probably end up in the hands of some miscreant who works in their detail shop who probably screwed it up in the first place. I will thank that dealer with a detailed letter, filled with photos to Toyota Corporate as well as a scathing review on my delivery experience.

So yesterday I pick up my brand new 2016 Toyota Tacoma. As I am leaving work last night, I note an array of fine scratches across the headlight lens, they are unable to be seen in daylight unless the headlights are turned on. I'm told this type of plastic is very soft and thus scratches easily. Any recommendations on what to use to remove them?

Again, Thanks to everyone for your comments. I appreciate each and every one. Can't wait till spring to start detailing!

I'd like to thank everyone for taking the time to reply. I'm feeling pretty confident now about giving this a try. Perhaps it's my OCD, but just one more question. When it rains, obviously this product "slings off" as one drives. Again, still easy to remove with a simple wash of the vehicle? Thank You Again.

I'm about to take delivery of a 2016 White Tacoma. 4 years ago, I had an awful experience with an unknown brand of tire shine staining the paint on my then new 2012 White Tacoma. Can anyone tell me if they have had any experiences with this product and white vehicles, specifically in regard to overspray and staining of paint. I've read that this is a WATER based product with "SOME" silicone added. Can anyone be more specific as to what this really means?  Thank You.
