Default Adams?

Has anyone used Adams products such as Adams butter?

Currently im using Zymol concours and i was about to try out some Swissvax products.

Today as i was washing my car one of my neighbor was using some Adams butter. It actually looked pretty good. So i figure i might try it out as well, but i would like to hear some of your guys input on this one.

Love the Adam's stuff. I use the detail spray, fine machine polish, upholstery cleaner, VRT, butter wax. Stuff all smells good and works great!

well, yes, kind of a serious answer. I've used Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax. (You can do some searching on your own to get some opinions on whether or not Adams is relabeled Chemical Guys products) And, I do like it. I've used it on Blue paint fwiw.

humm... i was never a liquid wax type of person but what i saw today was very impressive. I wonder if it will last/protect as long as other high price brands.

Remember that pretty much 95% of the look on a car is due to its prep. The last percentage is due to LSP

Uh, my answer was a serious answer. Adam's makes their own stuff. They don't rebottle and market other products.

As long as you prep your car right, it will look amazing with whatever wax you choose. I tend to choose a high carnauba content wax (Rubbishboys OE) for my vehicles. Its either that or something that lasts relatively short since I tend to strip LSP every month or so to reapply

Its a special wax made in the UK. It was the creation of a detailing enthusiast in his home with no wax making background. It easily overpowers Dodo Juice Supernatural

No pics with it on sadly, I have to borrow my friends DSLR soon for a sig update and shoot since I modified my car a little bit...

Adams is a cool company if you want good customer service. I ended up getting 1 gallon of detail spray since I heard it was good and smelled good and 6 spray bottles for free since I asked them about it, Adam himself gave them to me for free.

Now let me tell you this, the detail spray is alright. I like others better but it is far from smelling good. It smells like peptobismol

haha that's cool.

Well after reading lots of info from other forums, it seems like Adams product is more for car show shine and that is last about a little over a week or so.

But then i wash and wax ever week so i guess that not a problem.
