Adam's detailing products REALLY GOOD?

i'm seriously going to start detail my Camry for the very first time next week and i need some supplies. im new to detail and i have zero detail supplies but i want to buy supplies from one source. Do you guys think Adam's detailing products are really good? i saw this "Adams Products" thread with all the Admins and Mods saying how good adams products are but i also notice that Adam's is the this TN site sponsor too and started getting some doubts. So i would like to know from TN members (not from Admins or Mods) if you tried the Adams Products let me know what you think about it and whether i should get the supplies from them or not.

Thank you so much.

Just try it out and see if you like it or not you may or may not, but there's only one way to find out. The guys from Adam's may be kind enough to send you a sample too.

If I wasn't pleased with the Adams products I purchased I'd say so!

Started using Adam's products recently, very happy so far.

Go to his website, check out products and best of all, watch the vids.

There are a lot of really good products out there. Some companies have a good reputation for customer service, and that's a lot to some people.

The most important thing is knowing what you're up against, selecting the appropriate product for the job, and have your expectations somewhat realistic based on those two factors.

Some of the less expensive products probably won't do as good a job, but doing a good job is a lot about technique as well. None of it's magic.

Also, you generally get what you pay for, but unless you're in a rural area, you should be able to get a good most of what you need at your local retailer, and it's not a bad thing to pick and choose across lines, because no one company makes everything the best.

Admin or not, I'd never steer you wrong. I have a reputation to uphold.

Its a 20 dollar risk, choose one and try it out, if you dont like it, then get another bottle. I doubt the admins here are biased, they're people too and if they can't uphold their own rep, this site is going down fast!

Honestly, I was unsure about Adams because I hadnt heard much about them. But I tried a few basic items and was happy with it. Then I placed a bigger order, and I was very impressed with it. Now I placed a 3rd order and I own almost every item that Adams makes.

Do you have a buffer?

no i have none. How can i get sample Adams Products? Is there any discount for TN members? If so how can i get it?

i am thinking about getting a Porter Cable 7424 also. If i get Adams products i might as well get Porter cable 7424 from their website also but i'm not sure whether i should choose Adams products or not.

Thanks

I'd e-mail Justin and tell him what you want and see what kind of deal he can give you. Tell him you're from ToyotaNation. justin@adamspolishes.com

yeah, shipping to Hawaii and Canada ain't cheap. Plus there can be big delays at Canadas customs. I hate shipping to Canada.

Hey Pb and all TN Members,

I was reading the thread and noticed the shipping post. I wanted to let everyone know that we have a Distributor in Hawaii who can ship to all the Islands! We have also recently set up a Distributor in Canada there contact info should be available on www.AdamsPolishes.com under the Dealers page soon!

Hope this Helps!
