Received my order yesterday.  Fruit snack, fruit cologne are as good as a description as any.  To me, the smell is not strong which is nice.  

Thanks for the info .  I am wondering if it smells like the color changing detail spray release then. Awesome

I was finally able to do a direct comparison between CWW vs CS3 on my hood and I would have to say CS3 is slightly more slick when using and the paint did feel slightly more slick after drying.  We got some rain and they both bead and sheet water about the same.  Hope this helps, I honestly do not think you would go wrong with either one. 

Has anyone gotten their detail spray yet? if so what does it smell like?  My order still hasn't been fulfilled so I don't know that I can wait to get mine lol, thanks! 

That has worked better for me as far as avoiding streaks.  I actually go a step further and spray it on a MF applicator, spread into a panel or half panel (for the bigger ones) at a time, and then buff away with a MF towel.

No worries, I wish the CWW was $40 for a gallon, I would buy a couple gallons for sure!  Got my BOGO order which included CS3 today.  If I can I will use both the CS3 and CWW on the hood of my car today and share my thoughts on which one performed better.  CS3 smells amazing!

Hey Juan,
 
I do have the PF22, I love it for the most part, but the tip over issue is annoying.  I did see that they released a new bottle to fix the issue and am considering that as well.  I also don't like the inability to really mix the contents well, I've got some really viscous soaps I like to use in there and I always feel like no matter how much I shake they do not mix well enough.  Still maybe I will just get the new bottle.  Thanks for that option as well.

You are most certainly welcome Jacob.  While I'm thinking about it, if the vehicle looks a little dull after your two bucket wash going over it with Revive Hand Polish before reapplying the should bring it back to life.  Revive is not only a polish, it is also a cleaner and don't forget to do the tail lights.

I appreciate the input, I will make sure to do a couple panels at a time only.  I will make sure I reapply every month or so then.  I will definitely try that combo.  I have plenty of BG laying around. 

That is actually good to know, thank you for the info, I will stick to DS as a drying aid. 
 
Thank you for sharing your experience with Americana.  I think every 2 months will be a good rule of thumb then.  It seems like there is no real cure time/haze time when applying it so I will do one panel at a time in a similar manner as you (apply to a panel, apply to a second panel and then come and buff off the first panel and so on.)

Hey Chas,
 
No Ammo NYC unfortunately, I have had my eye on their RW/WW but haven't pulled the trigger yet, just not sure if it'll work well enough to justify the price. 
 
Griots I really only have their RW. 
 
Not sure if you would be interested in some spray and rinse protection product?  If so I have some Waxedshine Aquabead concentrate I can trade with you.  Let me know. Also have a healthy stock of Shine Supply and JaxWax products in case you're interested in trying any of theirs. 

Thanks for the info. I appreciate you shedding some light on the situation. 

I feel the whole making their line simple to navigate went out the window when they decided to release way too many products, they now have a slew of soaps for example, and have even made their tried and true soap look bad in hopes of getting people to buy the more expensive/new option. 
 
As for your comment about promo, yes they always have 15% off sales, but they also always have 15% off discount codes that work year round so to me when they have these "15% off sales" they actually aren't giving you any additional discount as a sale. Not to mention that there are other sites with a huge amount of variety that often have 25% off and free shipping sales.  Last time I posted that I got the whole "they raise their prices during the sale to compensate for the fact" but that's not true as the prices remain the same after the sale as well.

Yeah, I'm no professional but I've definitely looked elsewhere for a lot of products.  I think the most effective products Adam's sells are their cleaners (Soaps, TRC, APC, RW, etc) and towels (But pricey)....but for LSPs, Polishes, Pads, etc. I have moved to other brands.  As the owner of quite a few rides, I burn through detailing supplies about as fast as a small detailer, haha.  
 
I can't help feeling like Adam's is almost trying to be the Apple of the detailing industry. The socially seen "cool" brand, the Instagram pic brand.  They're getting a little high off the ground, need to settle down, have a big drawing board meeting and read these forums.  It can only do them good.  The Best companies and business in the world are the companies that pay attention to Forums, Social Media, and Retail locations and listen to what customers are saying.  

It has become clear to me why more pro level detailers don’t use Adam’s Polishes. It’s become increasingly difficult to keep them on our shelves in a cost effective manner.
 
I am aware everyone here is heavily pro-Adams. And their products work well for the consumer. But there’s a whole world of products out there, and some even work better. The pricing here was what lead to that discovery for us. 

This slight of hand switch was the last straw for me with Adams.  When you reduce product by half and still charge nearly the same as before,  and then attempt to justify it by telling me I didn't need that much product in the first place, that's a MAJOR problem and borderline insulting.
 
The cost per detail of this entire product line has reached astronomical levels.  I still kick myself for learning that fact the hard way...

Always check your nozzle on your pressure washer lance before spraying it at the car.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. It is unfortunate to see that Adams is turning into a company purely after the fads and profits. It absolutely is lame like Mariner said and Marty is exactly right, this is why I left Adams minus 1 or 2 products, for a company who isn’t just following the new hype and trying to make a clean profit. 
 
I know I sound like a broken record, but I’ve been asking along with many other forum member for Gallons of ON for those of us who use a lot of it. To this day NOTHING but claims of it being worked on and tabled to make happen. Yet all these colabs seem to just “roll off the tongue” in how easy they are to make happen. Just saying Adams is no where near the company it was when it won my interest, not even close.

I agree, hopefully they come through

I know I said no more but no one said anything about Mango. Guess I will be placing an order for some detail spray because my Mexican self can't help but want some lol.

Yeah, I'm sure the guys from Zubaz and JNCO thought their brands were gonna be around forever, too ?
 
Someone above pointed out that gallons of Odor Neutralizer still aren't available. That's an existing product that just needs to be put into a larger container than usual, and isn't available because of reasons? But they have all the time in the world to formulate different scents and colors for asinine "colabs"?
