Hi guys. New guy here who's been avidly search the past year on detailing products. Granted my car is not new but I do like taking care of the car. So with this, I've done a lot of research and took great interest in Adams product line. As a surprise, I got the sample kit as a gift from my girlfriend of Christmas. One day I finally got to try out some of the products. Products include tire shire applicator, white single soft towel, edge less towel, microfiber glass cleaner towel, blue microfiber waterless wash towel, H2O GG, detail spray, tire shine, total interior detailer, waterless wash, and glass cleaner.
First off I work at a car dealership, so I have various car cleaning products. Some are decent, but not nearly as good as professional detailing such as Adams as I've found out. The car is claybared a few times throughout the year and usually has some form of wax on it. The last coat was put on in November and used Pro Gold P34 wax our washrack buys. It's okay nothing special.
Impressions: First the packaging of the kit was top notch. The first thing I did was rinse the car down, scrub the tires and wheels with a soft bristle brush. Then I washed the car with a wool wash mitt we're supplied. Started with the hood first, then worked my way around to the windshield, roof, midway side up to the top of the windows, then all the way back around. Rinsed, then worked on the front and back bumpers and lower portions of the sides. While the car was still wet, I grabbed the blue waffled waterless wash towel and the H2O GG, was very eager to try this. First impressions was holy cow this worked like magic. Light mist over an area, wiped with the towel, then dried and buffed to a dry shine with the white soft towel. Instantly saw a nice gloss and dry to the touch. Went around the car in a similar fashion to washing and outcome was outstanding, really looked great. Took detail spray to the hood to try it. Was easy to use, didn't streak much and the shine was more or so the same. Will find another use for that product. Tire shine looked great but did not hold up the next day through the rain what so ever. The interior detail spray took a small mess i mad from a banana peel residue that was left while I drove shortly, new that wouldn't be a problem. Cleaned up the mess and left a smooth surface. Need to find a conditioner for the leather. But I was most impressed by H2O GG. Application was easy and fun and really held up. Either bolstering the month old wax or sealed on its own. The rain beaded up nice, and practically no dirt and minimal dust residue after driving in the rain on the top surfaces, only dirt build up on the lower doors and back bumper.
I will definitely buy a bigger oz of the H2O GG, barely used a cm of the 4oz kit! And maybe look into the VRT for tire dressing and trim as well for the tire shine looked great, but didn't last through the rain. Will also want to polish the car to take care of clear coat swirls and will more than likely buy the 2 step Polishing kit with the 2 polishes, and the Porter cable polisher. Then hopefully finish up with the liquid sealant, glaze, and I'll decide on wax later. But will definitely want more of the H2O guard and gloss. Maybe the foam cannon to make washing during the summer at home more fun. Great products can't wait to try more.
