My $0.02.  You won't be dissatisfied with either, and on my winter beater, I don't use either, stick with the Paint Sealant!

Great and thorough read here!  Thanks to all, and Joseph, WOW, great info!  

I think a lot of it depends on the quality and age of the leather, some newer heavily treated leather won't allow the leather conditioner to soak in as much so it will be slicker and have a glossier look. While leather that has been around awhile will allow more to soak in leaving it less slippery and less shiny. 

That's what it looks like when I apply it... Top vs bottom

Great review, thank you Jason!

Great review, thank you Jason!

Just want to thank Adam's for sourcing this American made, heavy duty foam gun for your traditional washes (or can be incorporated into a rinseless routine as well in a pre-treat phase)
 
The 32oz canister is perfect, on my wifes Sportwagen yesterday I used the purple tip (heavier solution flow I believe) yesterday since we had 1/2" of snow on Monday and her car looked like it went through a blizzard.  I was able to foam it twice (once as a pre-foam, then rinse, then I foam up the car again before touching my wash pad to it) with some solution to spare and ended up wasting the rest on the roof - so definitely a good idea with the 2 sizes of tips included, if I had a big rig pick up I'd probably still use the same tip as I really was foaming it slowly, or you may want to use the yellow tip and more soap in the foam gun.
 
Coming from one of the plastic Chinese foam guns, I will admit that those did ok as I used one for almost 2 seasons, but the connector was flimsy (plastic quick connect), the hose nozzle leaked all the time, and the hose nozzle itself was junk, I used to release to trigger and it would still be foaming for 10 seconds later, probably because the vaccuum on the canister was too much for the thin plastic.  The nozzle finally broke the last time I used it back in a warm spell in February.
 
Since its post winter here, a lot of us will be washing traditionally to get our cracks and crevices cleaned up, the Adam's Foam Gun is a tool you would be 110% satisfied with incorporating into your wash routine and the amount of extra lubrication on the surface adds safety.  Sure there are some of us who do a lot of rinseless washes too (I'm one of them), but I'm usually always doing my wheels/tires traditionally and I'll most likely be pre-rinsing and foaming, even if I'm going to just pull it in the garage and complete a rinseless wash on the paint after, a great way to break up grime on the surface.
 
Don't tell anyone, but most of the time I'm just using the Foam Gun now with 1 bucket, as my processes allow for much less dirt on the paint before I start touching it with wash pads - and the new rubberized red nozzle is actually pretty darn powerful for a hose nozzle, and I don't have the best water pressure in the world.  And although I have a foam cannon and nice Ryobi electric PW, some days I just don't feel like dragging it out, nor do I have enough surface dirt to warrant it.
 
IMO, if you don't have one, pick it up on the next sale and throw it in your cart, it makes your traditional washes safer and quicker.  The upgrades alone are worth it (better nozzle and larger canister), and yes its worth the $100 when not bought during a sale, but if you do get a few bucks off with a current promotion, even better.  You definitely will not regret it.

I LIKE IT!

We pretty much guarantee everything for life, with the exception of power tools, and other things that wear our, like towels, buffing pads, clay bars, etc.
 
We have used our pressurized bottles to death, and they don't die.  

Hi Gino, and YES!   Waiting for the winter weather to go away, then we plan to put at least 3 clinics on the calendar for this year.  We will have some around the country, besides the ones at our HQ.....For instance, coming soon, we will be in PA for the Grabiak Clinic, and then we have clinics nearly all day at the many shows we attend.
 
Stay tuned for that schedule, coming soon!

Basically, for outstanding, superior level of shine but only moderate longetivity - go with Patriot.     For longer lasting protection and only slightly less shine, go with Americana.
