Hello everyone, As most of us know Modern leather and even most older leather seating is coating . But the older stuff especially if it sit s int he sun dries out and cracks. I was looking on the website and I noticed that the leather conditioner I use to buy isn't there anymore. There is an oil which different and that's it. So thinking about leather seating in general, do you really need a conditioner? Does that do anything other then smell good or make the seats slightly slippery? I'm at odds with leather seating on what to do with them anymore.

Does anyone actually prefer the Graphene CS3 over regular CS3? I have used both many times and for some reason I always go back to regular CS3. Not that I find anything wrong with GCS3 I think I prefer CS3. I do however like the way GCS3 smells, that's amazing

Hello everyone, I have been using Adams for many years and found I want to slim down not just my fat *** but the amount of products I have. Now I have not gone mental like some of you do and have so many products my garage looks like a Adams store or crazy collector LOL. But I was on my way to this madness and started wanting to get back some real-estate. So Waterless wash , which has gone purple now from blue is fantastic, I love the product and buy it by the gallon. CS3 and CS3 Graphene I also love which I tend to lean more towards the original over graphene , I like the smell of the Graphene but find the original to work just as good if not maybe better IMO. As CS3 is a waterless wash and I use it a lot, I'm thinking of cutting like with regular waterless wash in favor of CS3. I grab waterless wash when my wife's car gets a bird dropping on it or she comes home with a front end of bugs when the car is still basically freshly clean. But again CS3 can tackle these jobs just was well. My only reason for not always using CS3 is I don't always feel I need to keep adding protection. Now that might be a personal stupid hang up as I never ever have seen build up or any sign of smearing with CS3 no matter how many times I have used it. What do you guys think first of all these waterless wash products, do you use them all or have you narrowed it down to just 1? Last but pretty important , I use CS3 as a drying agent , a detail spray , waterless wash , wheel wipe down when they are just dusty lightly , bird droppings fresh bug removal and even a outside window cleaner which I love the hydrophobic it leave behind. Thanks everyone, Dan

The Graphene stuff I have no issues with either. I don't know if they are worth the extra money over the regular stuff unless Adams claims better protection out of them to make them more worth it. I like the smell of the Graphene CS3.

Hello, I have used all of the above sprays with no issues on 4 different cars. Silver Audi S4 ,White Dodge Durango, Purple Dodge Charger and a Black Dodge Charger. I use high quality Micro fiber towels From Adam's and the Rag Company. I wash my towels in warm water with clear and free Laundry Soap. I dry on cool setting in the Dryer and they always come out almost like new. Anyway, clean towels and proper use will always yield good results. Shake the bottle and test spray before use and don't over use the product. A few sprays per panel and your good to go.

Ok, just watched the video and the product makes sense . I'm gonna buy a bottle and put it through it's paces. What I think most people miss is the actual use of the now 3 Graphene spray toppers , waterless wash Detail spray. So Boost is an actual Topper. It's has a heavier protection and not intended to be used as a detail spray or waterless wash Detail Spray is a drying agent and a touch up after a wash for water spots etc. It's a nice easy quick shine before a car show or a in between spray. I think it has it's place CS3 is a waterless wash with protection. It's probably the most fantastic product Adams has made. Using it like a waterless wash it's excellent and you get protection as well. Usually waterless washes are exactly that with no protection. CS3 also can be used like a drying agent or detail spray making it the all in one product if you don't want separate products to do all the different job Paint sprays are intended for. What are your thoughts on all these new Graphene products? I have both CS3 and Graphene Detail spray and CS3 works above and beyond , Graphene to me just smells better I'm not sure if it's actually better. I have not finished my first bottle yet so I'm not judging it yet. CS3 is my Jam.

Ok good question. Bead Maker is a spray sealant which in my opinion is a flawed product. It tends to streak, it is a huge dust magnet . I love the shine and slickness of that product but I don't like the smears and static charge it puts on your paint which in turns attracts dust like mad. Oh and it smells really good. We have been through the P&S line and the line is good but I find holes in each product. To get something to work like Bead maker, I'd say CS3 is a better all around product that is like Bead maker but different and better IMO. It think it holds up just as long , has damn near the same awesome shine BUT doesn't turn your car into a dust magnet. So I think CS3 for the win plus it's a waterless wash with protection. It's a more versatile product and I don't have any need for Bead maker. I had to run through a few bottles to see if it's legit or over hyped. It's slightly over hyped , but it does what the say it does they just leave out the streaks and dust.

Iron remover is it's own step. So no you don't have to clay afterwards. If your gonna clay then prepare to do a correction step. Clay can mare the paint.

So if you want the most shine then a Proper Correcting to your paint needs to happen first. This step levels the paint and allows light to reflect better. This gives you that Shine your looking for. All Paint protections give you a very good shine, It's which one do you like the best Carnauba wax will give you a warm glow shine which is so nice to look at Paint sealants can give you a pop in shine Ceramics give you a more glass like shine. So you can see they are all different Ceramic will give you the max glass shine if that is what your looking for.

Really? Well then you can just stick with CS3 or Graphene Detail spray. They both work amazing.

Hello everyone, So I have been through a few gallons of CS3 , have a bottle of Graphene CS3 and Detail spray. All 3 I have been rotating back and forth on which one I'm gonna use when I maintenance wash my car. I'm Ceramic Spray Coated. Pitch Black Paint. Anyway tonight I decided to break out old Reliable in pink detail spray the original. Man with all todays technology and advancement in spray detailers and waterless wash products , sometimes you just can't beat Pink Detail spray. It leave a different kind of shine, a different kind of drying agent feel , a different kind of clean up spray after you used it as a drying agent and used it for water drips after a good blow. Man Adam's should NEVER stop making regular Pink Detail Spray, the smell, how good it is, how it feels on a spray coated car that well maintained and not daily driven, it's a garage queen most of the time. Thank you Adam's Polishes and whoever made Detail spray from the start. We have wonderful new and exciting products in Ceramic and Graphene but sometimes you just need detail spray in your life. Thanks again, Dan

I have all of the above products myself. I have not used the Graphene Shampoo yet, I like the regular Car Shampoo. CS3 and detail spray graphene versions both work very well. I don't use them in direct sunlight or any product. I always wash in the shade in the morning and then pull into the garage for the dry and final. If I have good shade in the driveway, I'll do everything in the driveway. I don't find either product to work better. Maybe CS3 as it's more versatile then detail spray. As good as CS3 is, I don't usually grab for the detail spray. I have both regular and graphene Detail sprays and CS3.

SO far it's a toss up. I like the smell of the Graphene CS3 which can fool you into it's better. It's more pleasurable to use as the scent is awesome. It's a noticeable difference when you go back to CS3. But CS3 works so good, the improvements that are with Graphene are hard to tell. Especially since I wash. my car once a week and it always has crazy beading. When I started using Graphene Detail Spray, I thought the smell was very nice. Detail spray also smells amazingly good . Both products do their job top notch. I'm not sure if Graphene Detail spray replaces Detail Spray. For me I don't need a in between touch up spray to last more than a few weeks anyway. And again with the extra money they both cost over the standard versions, I'm not so sure at least for me are worth it. Now IF the protection is that much better and It resisted Water spots and Bird Droppings better, I would say hell yeah, I would absolutely pay extra for the Graphene BUT Since I started using the Graphene products, I have not noticed a reduction in water spots and I got some bird droppings on m y mirror and it still left marks. I had to polish them off. So the protection benefits of Graphene CS3 don't seem to be any better. Don't get me wrong, it's an incredible product and If CS3 went away I would have to switch to Graphene CS3 and I would be totally happy. The extra money at that point wouldn't matter as I couldn't get CS3 anymore. So I hope Adam's continues to offer both versions as some may want to use the Graphene version. I don't think I'm gonna change anyones mind as my car stays in the garage most of the time. I did have to drive it to work for a few months and I sweated it every single day as our parking lot has a lot of trees and the birds constantly poop on everyones car. I damn near wanted to buy a car cover so I can protect my paint. I even tried laying Adam's Polishes Graphene Liquid wax and I don't think it helped at all. Let me be frank, Someone needs to offer a protection wax spray or coating aside of PPF to protect the paint from Bird Droppings. This is a very common thing that happens to everyone car at some point or another. You could be just out for a drive and get splattered. I know as it has happened to me many times and I want to buy a B gun and shot those damn bastards.

I do understand the frustrating and confusion around all these products that seem to do all the same things. As I posted, CS3 is your best bet if you want 1 product that can do it all. CS3 is incredibly versatile, it can clean in-between washes , super light dust and super mild dirt as you don't want to scratch your paint. I'd rather do a full bucket wash rather than risk scratching even as good as CS3 is. CS3 is incredible as a detail spray and all it's uses. Touch ups, drying aid I love it. I like trying all the other products except I have not got my hands on slick and slide. Honestly every time I make an order I think about it and don't get it as CS3 has no weakness. I also have the Graphene versions and the Graphene CS3 works the same as CS3 but has a better smell. It smells like Grape plums , it's really pleasant to work with. It really puts the gloss on your paint just as good and possibly better than CS3 does. But I have not done like 1/2 hood with both products which I might do just to see. For the few dollars less, I'm totally happy with CS3 for the rest of my life. Graphene CS3 I only used a few times and as I have used it, I'm not overly impressed as CS3 is that good on it's own. it's smell is also pleasant so the Grape smell isn't enough to make me spend more money if it works the same otherwise. Time will tell I'm gonna run through a full 16 oz bottle of Graphene CS3 and then go back to CS3 and see if I miss it.

So why would you not use Detail spray or Waterless wash on a coated car? I think any of those products will do the job very well. Actually CS3 would be the ideal choice for all those jobs. CS3 to me is the most versatile products from Adams and one of the all time best product they have made. I have all the above products and I seem to always reach for CS3. I've been playing around with both Graphene Detail spray and CS3 and what I like about those 2 is the smell. Some claim they streak but I have not yet had that issue. CS3 honestly is my all time favorite product.
