I've been using Adams for 4 years. No problem all good
In the 2 years with my S2k it been washed 4x's Only spray detailer and the rest of Adams products
Clay bar and spray detailer: great
Swirl and Haze:Great for the light swirls from daily cleaning
Revive: great for bring up the clarity
Scratch Remover: great for the mistry scratched we get
Butter wax: Great, used with my Makita 6040, VERY easy to remove Minimal residue
Brilliance glaze: Great, spray into a wet-damp micro fiber applicator wipe on let sit 2-3 minutes and wipe off
VRT: good for tires, interior, Dash, plastic, and seats (VRT leaves a little shine and on seats it is a little slippery - the reason I give it a good and not great rating)

Adams product has been great on my car, I have been short sometime for detailing time and once and a while use the old meguirs products.

Higly reccomend a GOOD set of pads to use with your PC or Makita
Micro fiber towles from Costco 36 for $13 - Wash in Hot, w/ 2nd rince cycle
Do Not use micro fiber on windows, leaves weird residue
Cotton towls on windows only

My understanding is that Adam's is 100% a re-seller. All his products are re-branded version of other products (i.e. his puts his label on other people's products).

From what I've read all his chemicals are re-labeled Chemical Guys products and the double sided pads he sells are Edge 2000 pads. If you look at the Chemical Guy's website their products have the exact same names even.

I met Adam, he said they were his friend formulas
Adam had a detail business and needed stuff with ease of clean up and long lasting

He grew up in San juan Capistrano, CA

I know he says they're his own formulas. It's a little hard to believe though.

Chemical Guy's really screwed a lot of guys who they were re-labeling for when they decided to sell their products directly to the public.

Adams is CG.. A lot of their products arent even made especially for Adams by CG, they are just relabeled.

Check out CG

Some of the PB line is also made by CG, in addition to the entire Jorgen's line.
