    I helped a guy with bad scratches on his Mustang not long ago who was using Adams. You should have seen the paint SSR2 and my PC took care of it. The wash pads are good, but there are cheaper clay bars you can get that do the same thing. You want a good detail spray go with Meguiars.

    HOLY MOLY here.

    OK, here are my 2 cents, and as before, take it for what it is worth. First off, the company makes grade A products, and are always striving to provide the best of the best.

    Unlike Hogan, Adam`s Detail Spray is by far my favorite, and that`s over Poorboy`s Spray and Wipe (different category IMO) and Meg`s Final/Quik Detailers, along with 7 others I currently have. It wipes off much easier, and we got photos to prove it from the Corvettes at Carlisle where we had Meg`s employees admit it. Spray and Wipe is a waterless wash, nothing more, and definitley nothing less. Adam`s will emit a greater shine hands down; it has wax enhancers in it, not actual carnuba wax, thus, there are no bonding issues. Final Detail is a silicone based product that has bonding issues, but does leave a great shine, but takes 4.5 more wipes to get the same effect (I told ya).

    The claybar is superior to the 4 in the past that I have used. They have outlasted my previous ones, and it is by far the most elastic one. Read how large it is too, typically 1/3 larger than most. You can easily break it in two parts. It is totally non-abrasive, and yes, I can tell a difference.

    However, I am totally with Cujo on this one, he does lack polishing products. That is when I started using the PB`s polishes and Adam`s waxes. His products are a little more expensive than Poorboy`s, but look at Premium Auto Care and compare to other quality products such as 4Star and Wolfgangs. It`s right in the ball park, and you definitely get what you pay for!

    I order the wash pads frequently, because frankly, they are that damn good. It is a synthetic one, and scratches are minimized dramatically. It is designed to pull in contaminates to the middle of the pad, instead of lingering on the outside to swirl your finish. They aren`t that expensive either, and can be machined washed to revitalize.

    His MF towels are some of the best I have used, and are on my "reserved" shelf. They are very soft and plush, and wash up very nicely.

    The best part about Adam`s Polishes is their guarantee. If you think their products suck so bad, then Adam will graciously give you 110% of your money back. WHAT OTHER COMPANY DOES THIS? You can`t beat it! www.adamspolishes.com

    I`m not going to get in a Poorboy`s/Adam`s delema, because that is what has torn FordTruckWorld.com to shambles. People who yap or stand behind products and have only tried 1 or 2 others. I would encourage my DC buddies Ranch and Boss to chime in on this situation, as they have also used the Adam`s, along with other products too.

    --I`ve answered 3 seperate PM`s about the Adam`s Products TODAY before this thread was started--
    I`d be happy to answer anymore about this subject on a one-on-one basis.

    NOT 1 COMPANY IS GOING TO HAVE THE BEST PRODUCTS FOR EVERY ASPECT OF A DETAIL! Experiment, experiement, experiement, and when you have tried $2500+ worth of different detailing products, you tend to find what products are better for certain situations.

    Better yet, let the pictures tell the story:

    How on earth do you polish and wax that `thing`? It`s a monster

    I agree with Nickc. I really like the Adams detail spray. I haven`t tried their clay, so I can`t comment on it. I also like their paint cleaner, only complaint I have is that it stains the pads.
