SS LeadFoot Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 So after reading the new daily special Dylan got me thinking. What product did you try that made you an Adams Addict? For me, I'd have to say it was the metal polish 1 and 2 and the glass cleaner. I was impressed by the metal polishes but blown away by the glass cleaner. It was the glass cleaner that made me want to try more stuff. Thought this would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHTEVO Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Another detailer turned me on to Adam's. He used all Adam's product on a vehicle of mine, i was happy with the results, so bought some product from him. It was mainly the shampoo, detail spray, and VRT that made me look more into using their products over others, and the fact that they were "local" made the decision even more easier. Now i have almost everything they have available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The car shampoo impressed the heck out of me first. After that I really understood that there IS a difference between Adams and the store-bought stuff. BluedogGMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKazzle Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Wasn't happy with any glass cleaner I used and wow did I use a lot. I believe Adam's is or was the sponsor of the Lexus IS forums when I had one; never tried any of their products, but then decided to buy their glass cleaner (from DD) at the same time I bought maybe 5-6 others. Was so impressed with it that I bought their kit with nearly every one of their products. The only glass cleaner I will ever use. Their detail spray is top notch as well. I bought a bunch of the old detail spray from the clearance section for the porters at the GFs BMW dealer and I think some of them have converted because I got a picture from her with one of their new small Adam's collections a while back.

Masaharu Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 For me, I took the plunge with a starter kit, but it was watching the free DVD that came with it that turned my interest into a full-blown obsession. The great advice and demonstrations really made me believe that I could achieve the same (or at least similar) results. Genius idea!

DonJuan692006 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Not a product, but it was the forums that were the final kill. A member over on the All Ford Mustangs forum tipped me off to Adam's. So I got on here and posted what I wanted to do and asked what I needed to make it happen. Gerry (GerryC) gave me a very quick and informative answer. I told my girlfriend about it and she grabbed me to Cyclo Ultimate kit as a belated birthday present and I've been hooked ever since.

blcksilv08 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 After seeing my windows after using glass cleaner and the way my tires looked after using svrt I was sucked in and haven't looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTBSS Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 SVRT did it. After I watched the video and had seen the RIGHT way of how to wash the vehicle. Plus the forums dedicated just for detailers like myself I was hooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluedogGMC Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Adam's Shampoo and Buttery Wax. Also these forums had a lot to do with my first order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot_Wheel Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 For me it was just like Masaharu above: the sampler kit. Adam's Polishes is a sponsor of the Camaro5.com forums, so that got me interested. I had never owned a car that I wanted to detail -- the local car wash w/dudes that dry it off was good enough before. I tried the sampler kit and the DVD hooked me. I bought some off-brand buckets/guards and tried out a 2BW with the Adam's Car Shampoo. ..... a couple of grand later and I've been detailing all three cars, not just the Camaro....

Diggerdan11 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Well in 2011 I bought the light it up blue kit (with RP) and a clay bar, DS, and BW. I was pretty impressed at the results, but I was not 100% Sold. I decided to buy a PC with the 3 stage paint correction. And I was sold after i saw this Before: After: Redbeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 After thinking Dylan was full of beans for a good two months...I tried Car Shampoo, Great White Drying Towel, DS, and the old VRT all at once. Then I needed more. and MORE. and MORE MORE MORE Redbeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMDChase Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I started off slow just trying a few things at a time. For me it's between the clay bar and the SVRT. If I had to choose I would say the SVRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootertrash19 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I first saw Adams on the Silverado SS Forum then the Corvette Forum, thought I better try them, order the 16 oz Detail Spray, tried it out and was amazed, watched the free DVD, then I was hooked, Joined the forum and starting spending. I truly am Adamized! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) VRT (before it became Super). The local Adam's dealer had a booth at a car show and was demonstrating the PC and polishes on a Foose Overhaulin' Challenger. Picked up VRT and DS at the show, then more and more and more!

694doorbird Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Junkman turned me onto Adam's. tried the shampoo, revive and buttery wax. Love the way things turned out!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egott_91 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Well, when I was searching around at "better" car care products when I was getting serious about car detailing, I looked at Zaino, Meg's, Mother's, Chem. Guys, etc. as well as Adam's. I watched AJ's videos over and over again and kept seeing his great results. I then found out about their customer service. That's when I decided I was going to get the Essentials kit to try out a variety of products, knowing that if I didn't like any of them, I could return them for 110%. I would say the product in that kit that impressed me the most was the SVRT, due to the NO SLINGING. So, I would say it was 1) Seeing results before trying the products 2) Customer service 3) SVRT Now I have all of their products.

stirthepot Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I bought a kit after watching the junkman videos that were posted on the camaro5 forum. I was sold after my first full detail with the kit but the SHR and FMP were what wowed me. Easy to use and stellar results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feets31 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Found the Junkman on another forum and was looking for a way to keep my car looking sharp. he was using Adams and I slowly worked my way into owning most of the products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
