I miss the days when Adam's was focused on what made the company great - outstanding detailing products and exceptional customer service. Recent emphasis seems to be on endless "flavors of the day," clothing, tchotchke, etc. 😢

Norton reacted to an answer to a question: Adams Tire and Rubber Cleaner vs Wheel and Tire
-
It's hard to beat MetroVac's products, but they're not cheap. Adam's offers both the Master Blaster Revolution, to which I assume you refer, and the Super Vac N Blaster, that I have in my garage. The airflow from both is incredible. They're great machines that are American-built to last. Highly recommended.

looking for adams leather conditioner. not spray stuff
Norton replied to DeDonDeRosa's question in Interior Cleaning & Care
Answer from another long-time user of traditional Leather Conditioner is an emphatic NO, I don't. IMO, moving from the original to a spray formula is an example of "fixing" something that wasn't broken. I'm disappointed to see so much (unnecessary) tinkering with the product line since ownership changed. -
Tire and rubber cleaner leakage
Norton replied to 01GreyStangGT's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
Not sure it means much, but my experiene does not mirror yours. My son and I have had multiple bottles of Tire & Rubber Cleaner in our detailing cabinets for years, without a drop of leakage. -
Thankful for Adam's assistance in acquiring a case around the time it was going out of stock. I still use it on my daily driver as well.
-
What do you mean by "Adams Quick Sealant"? Adam's hasn't made/offered "Quick Sealant," which came in aerosol cans, in years.
-
Looks like the never-ending rename, relabel, repackage merry-go-round replaced Revive Hand Polish with "Adam's Hand Polish." (Notably, its URL still includes "revive-fine-hand-car-polish.") It shows as available in 12oz and 4oz bottles directly from Adam's site. I suppose it makes me a dinosaur, but I miss the good old days of simple and stable product offerings that lasted more than the current sale.

As a matter of fact, I do and you're welcome to. I just need to find it... -
Pro Pressure Washer with Generator
Norton replied to falcaineer's question in Towels, Brushes, & Accessories
If your individual tools don't list power requirements in their specifications, I suggest using something like a P3 P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor to measure actual power consumption in typical use cases. -
Adam's Turbo Stick Wheel Cleaning Tool
Norton replied to pcheck1's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
You might try some of their resellers. I have no first-hand experience with them, but Long Island Detailers claims to have them in-stock. Alternatively, have you tried different size/shape Woolies and/or Brushes? -
Polishing tail lights
Norton replied to Steveinnorthglenn's question in Paint Correction & Polishing
Looks great! As you know, it's less about their age than the care they receive. My 10 year old Shelby shines brighter today than when I drove her off the showroom floor... -
Polishing tail lights
Norton replied to Steveinnorthglenn's question in Paint Correction & Polishing
Yes. I polish my lenses as if they're paint. Never had a problem. As with most things, YMMV. -
Claying a Graphene Coated Vehicel
Norton replied to Trap's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
No. As described on their site, Adam's Clay Mitt "is a medium grade clay material." (Emphasis added.) -
I'm not arguing with your results, but you could have saved yourself time and money by just going with the spray after your initial finding that it looks better. I can't think of any good reason to spend extra time and money applying two ceramic coats. Use the ONE that works best for you and maintain it properly until it needs to be PROPERLY reapplied.
-
I didn't say that, but probably should have. IMO, you're over-thinking this. Ceramic coatings don't need "toppers" because they ARE toppers. What they need is proper care. This comes in the form of cleaning, boosting, and (if available) garage storage. Your "topper" question is most closely related to boosting, for which I recommend something like Graphene Detail Spray or Graphene Boost. Applying a "lesser" (spray) coating on top of the "better" (non-spray) one is counter-intuitive to me. Moreover, ALL coatings should be applied to properly prepared (i.e., cleaned, clayed, polished, and alcohol/prep wiped) surfaces. That doesn't mean using spray versions as "toppers."
