Nice first order, man. Better clean off a lotta shelf space in your garage. You're gonna need it.
thanks, lol don't tempt me..
if things finally work out, monday is the big day!

I recognize this guy! I think you'll like the Americana, especially since you get so much more compared to a popular bird-named wax. It's pretty easy to use, but don't let it sit too long
Lol
They seem to be relatively on par for price and quantity
I think the adams products are definitely going to deliver
Appreciate the input, I hope these products work fine around 40 degrees and I don't have work on sat or Sunday, been a stressful week I need some zen time with the ride lol

Hey SON1C,
Its great seeing you here on the Adam's forums. Although I'm not a member, I've always loved your posts and reviews over on another forum. Welcome to the Adam's community!!
Thanks for the warm welcome, thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed some of my other work
I may be able to get to break the Adams products in tomorrow as well! So I have my fingers crossed for decent weather lol

Just use a quality microfiber and use the least pressure you can to get the job done, I typically ipa after polishing

You won't be disapointed.
looking forward to it!
Sweet, nice first order.thanks

I'm glad

Just received my first adam's order, I'm impressed so far, great customer service so far, the bottles are of high quality, the sprayers are great, the normal sprayer even has grip on the end for superb control, removed the applicator from the wax container, amazed at small it was and how it came back to life lol, products smell great, Americana is probably the hardest lsp I've encountered, granted I need to work with it to get a better feel but just from initial impressions.. Will update later with some more pictures, and then next week I should be able to get some hands on time with adam's!

UCS is some good Kool-Aid
why? does it smell great? lol
And the national poison control hotline number is 1-800-222-1222...(actually, that really IS the national poison control hotline. )
Welcome to the hood man!thanks!
btw love the "swirl assassin" lol I've taken out quite a few myself!
:welcomebanner:Sonicthanks!

The APC at full strength with foaming sprayer is really good. I personally don't know if its better than what your used to but we shall see. No correction properties in the glaze but it does have some paint cleaning ability. I am not an expert on durability of the combo because it only gets used on my garage queen that doesn't see the elements.
well with the schedule and how filthy my car is, looks like the stars are aligning for a detail next week and I'll strip my current wax and see what adam's is all about!
For the record, we know that everyone used/uses other products before they came to love the Adam's stuff, and there ARE a lot of other fine products out there. Short of a discussion on the sham-wow or silimar, you proably won't hear anyone from Adam himself to the guy that sweeps the warehouse floor (Dylan? ) badmouthing any competitors. Our little corner of the internet, of course, is here to support ADAM'S products, help people get the best results from them, and of course make some sales so Adam can pay his amazingly helpful staff, put a roof over his head and someday put his kids through college. So that's what we talk about here, and we expect that if you want advice about some other line, or want to sing someone else's praises, you'll go do that on their company website.And in any case, Sonic...welcome, and here... just have a sip of this Kool-Aid... :lolsmack:

No cure time between glaze, wax and welcome!! I love that color!
thank you, thank you, and thanks!
Good job keeping that thing clean. That blue paint would really pop with some Adam's Premium Car Care Products.thanks!
we'll find out! (I've got feeling that it will as well )
Foaming sprayer works great, but it eats product like the Cookie Monster. I only use when dwell time is essential to the task at hand. No cure time for BG. Apply to the car on speed 3 on a da with a finish or finesse pad. Removes easy with just a little dusting if your heavy on the coat.As long as it works great, so many poor sprayers I've come across, I'd really like to put the foaming apc up against some dirty tires
does the glaze have any polishing capability or is it just a pure glaze, does the glaze decrease the longevity of the americana (or really any other lsp bonded on top of it? (as I've noticed with some other glazes this is a factor)
appreciate the informative post!

Great I was hoping you got detail spray cause I need to ask you a question when you receive it...
The APC is good but is not as effective past 5:1 dilution for your more neglected clients cars. It's great for many uses though. Glaze and Americana perform really well together IMO. Do not let Americana haze, just apply to a couple of panels and return to remove and continue. Can't wait to hear your thoughts...
okay I'll let you know when I get it, should arrive this friday.. hopefully it warms up some and I can break it in!
How is the foaming sprayer? looks incredible on video..
i cant recall, is there a cure time between the glaze and wax, say after I buff off BG ( you guys call it that? lol - brilliant glaze) do I need to wait say the standard 30 minute cure time for it, or can I apply relatively soon after?
thanks I'm glad to be fortunate enough to work with some adams products soon to give thoughts on!

Definitely enjoy your reviews, you have convinced me more than a few times to spend more money
I probably should let the veterans explain further but basically there are no other products around here. Dont get me wrong,they sponsor the forum and definitely have that right so I am not bashing. It's the rules and I have learned to obey. Super nice folks and good products, if you have any questions about the products, just ask. What did you order?
I'm glad
lol just like to voice my honest opinions and experiences as I like hearing from manufacturers about their products, but nothing beats someone not affiliated with the company talking about their products, imo (to an extent)
that's cool and completely understandable / I respect that, if it was my forum and my company it would be run the same way!
the highly coveted... detail spray
the highly versatile apc
and what is supposedly the best shine available brilliant glaze + americana -> I have a feeling this will be a knock out combo, as I've seen some results on them and it looks to be a very promising duo

Welcome!
thanks!
Welcome!!!! Gorgeous color!!!!!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

CG is a direct competitor. This site is provided by Adam's Polishes..I understand that, I'm not here pushing their products, for the record I didn't like g6 at all

welcome!
thanks!
Sonic welcome! I follow your work and reviews on AG and would recognize that blue mustang anywhere, lol. You have no idea, but you probably just sent these guys into shock showing pictures of other products (especially the cg stuff) lolololol.thanks! I'm glad you do / seem to enjoy it! lol is posting other products taboo here, I know AG can get weird when you post products they don't carry..
do we not like cg either? lol

Low Temp. Questions
in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Posted
Actually looks like 25.. Lol but yeah of course I would never store them in that temp, I keep all of my products inside as I have way too much invested to lose it over temp changes
