Well, my first shipment ever of Adams cleaning products arrived last week, and I finally was able to test them out today.

 

I only have one thing to say. I am VERY impressed. Every single product exceeded my expectations.

 

I ordered:

 

All purpose cleaner

Invisible spray

Total interior detail spray

Green wheel cleaner

Wash shampoo

VRT dressing

Foam applicator

Wheel well brush

Tire scrubbing brush

Ultimate merino wool mitt

Jumbo professional car wash pad

 

I started this morning washing my truck, and I had 32 OZ's of all purpose cleaner. I used just over HALF of that bottle in ONE wash. Between my tires, wheel wells, and floor mats, it was gone fast!

 

I used to be a Meguiars guy. That stuff is garbage compared to Adams. I am now a faithful user of Adams products, and will only use Adams from here on in. The only gripe I have is some of the products are a little bit overpriced in my opinion. I can also understand though, that these guys take serious time to develop products that work so good for me, so I don't mind. However, in this case, you are definitely getting what you pay for.

 

All I can say is very well done to Adams, your products are outstanding. Even the bottles are high quality!

You need to try a 50/50 mixture of water and APC.

Have not used Adams yet, but the Meguiars stuff used to be excellent when you could only get it at body shops or their suppliers. Then they cheapened the product, amped the marketing & put it in every Wal Mart, Target, auto parts store etc. Just has never been the same.

That's why Adam's won't be sold in such places.

I did not bother to dilute the mixture this time around because my truck was in need of some serious cleaning power. Up until I found Adams products, I was using the nasty oily tire shine on my tires. Needless to say, after two years of that, and never deep cleaning the rubber, they are brown. The APC took a lot of it off, but I think it will need a few more washes before I can get a black sidewall again.

 

I will try and snap some quick pictures today before the truck is dirty again!

I am definitely a true believer now.

 

The other thing about Adams is, their products are extremely easy to use. They provide video tutorials for someone like me who has never done anything more than basic washes. All of their polishing products are color coded to ensure you can only do it right the first time. I don't mind paying a little more when not only is the product outstanding, but the video tutorials are high quality as well.

 

I am going to try and find a local supplier in my area so I can save on shipping charges, that is the only thing that will add up for me.

 

I should also mention, I love the gallon refills. Instead of buying dozens of 16OZ bottles and throwing them out, I can just keep refilling, good move.

With their flat rate shipping, if you're purchasing much at a time, it's a better deal. Plus as of now no tax for most. The local guy in my area (over 150 miles away) doesn't keep a very good stock of some things.

Just to give you some more uses :)

 

I spray it on my whole front end (and mirrors) while I'm mixing up the soap and getting ready to wash....after 3 or 4 minutes I wash the front of the truck and the bugs just slide right off !

 

Best product I have ever used to get bugs off without having to rub and rub !

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
