Q: *new user* Cleaning product recommendations?

[ADG]

I have been debating Chemical Guys vs. Adam's Polishes, so I think that I am going with Adam's Polishes.  
Please tell me that I made the best choice?

I'll be the first to admit that I hate washing my vehicle (sad, but true), so I am truly looking for any product(s) to make cleaning my vehicle AS EASY AS POSSIBLE!
Did I say that I am truly looking for any product(s) to make cleaning my vehicle AS EASY AS POSSIBLE! LOL

Vehicle:  2011 Ford Escape (gray)

Pressure washer: I am going to purchase an Oregon pressure washer 3300 psi along with Adam's Polishes car wash products.

 

Please give me your recommendations for the following product(s) for a beginner?

Q1:  Foam cannon - which foam cannon do you recommend (i.e. Adam's MTM Hydro PF22 Foam Cannon)?
Q2:  Car wash - which is the best wash solution for extremely muddy vehicles without having to scrub (i.e. Adam's Ultra Foam Shampoo)?
Q3:  Inside cleaner - which inside (interior) cleaner do you recommend for everyday dust?
Q4:  Ceramics - do I need ceramics in the cleaning process? If so, which do you recommend?
Q5: Kits - are there any specific kits that I should purchase to start off with?

Thank you so much for any help and recommendations.
I greatly appreciate your help and pointing me in the right direction!

Welcome!

 

You will be extremely happy with Adams products.  You will be satisfied with the process, the scents of each chemical, and the shiny outcome.

 

Adams Red Foam cannon will work great for you

Mega Foam for sure

If it’s just like dust, interior detailer,  but they make heavier cleaners if needed.

Ceramics are used as protection,  so after you wash and clay you would use them.

The spray coating is great and easy,  maintaining it with CS3 works wonders.

And for kits, you can go to the website, and type kits in the search bar,  and you can maybe choose something of your liking or check back with us.

Welcome!

i agree with Nickfire20, I might add that all of our Car Shampoo’s are going to do you a good job. Using a foam gun is the way to go but to remove the mud you are still going to have to do a Two bucket wash.

Nick gave you a good list, but if you're looking at muddy, caked on vehicles, there's no way around not scrubbing. Water and soap will take the surface dirt off, but that alone won't clean it.

Nickfire20,
Thank you so much for your reply and suggestions.

What is the difference between the Adams Red Foam vs. MTM Hydro PF22 Foam Cannon?

Rich,
True!
I need to find good products to clean with (brushes, solutions, etc...) to make the process better with great results.
I'm seriously not good at washing cars. LOL

Hi ADG, welcome to the forum! 

The MTM PF22 is different brand of Foam Cannon, manufactured by MTM in Italy. It's a quality tool. Both will perform similarly and provide thick foam on the vehicle with the right pressure washer. You will need a pressure washer with a 1/4" female quick connect, and one with 1.3gpm or higher will perform better. Right now, our Limited Foam Cannon that we brought out for Black Friday is an affordable nice option, with a free bottle of Mega Foam to get you started:

We have all of the safe wash accessories that you will need. I would definitely recommend watching some of our videos. Adam makes the process easy to understand, safe, and fun. Here are the most common accessories I use while washing:

- Soap & Rinse Two Bucket Combo 
- Microfiber Wash Mitt
- Premium Microfiber Sponge
- Wheel & Tire Cleaner Trio
- Ultra Plush Drying Towel

Dan@Adams,
You are awesome!
Thank you so much. 
This helps me very much. 

I'm glad that I asked about the foam cannon.  I think that is a great deal as well to start with! Perfect for me!

That foam cannon deal with the free bottle of Mega Foam has been on the website for quite a while now, so I don't think they will be removing it any time soon 👍
