Adams Polishes Clay Bar


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just got done using Adams Polishes clay bar on the truck, and all I can say is WOW! Through out the years I have used Mothers, Meguiars (retail), and Auto Tech (wholesale clay I use to get for recon at the dealership) but in my opinion none of these can compare to Adams Polishes. I am very impressed with Adams quality and results from their clay bar, and I would highly recommend it. I'd start applying wax, but fear the DA would wake the wife and baby who are located just one floor above the garage sleeping.

What clay lube did you use? And how big is their clay bar?

 

I always use a detail spray, and I just happened to used Adams Polishes Detail Spray with their clay bar. Comparable to others, you get two 100 gram clay bars, common amount when purchasing clay. However when using Adams Polishes clay bar I found that the amount I used to do the whole truck was much less than the others products I have used previously.

I'll be honest, I have never used a clay bar. Now, my truck would not benefit from this, but my other vehicles would. How does this process work? And what exactly does it do?

Every vehicle benefits from claying

Just passing along personal experience. Recently used a Nanoskin Wash Mitt. I was originally after a clay bar and was directed to the mitt. Very happy with the results. Job was done quickly, finish is very smooth. Not cheap. but worth it IMHO.

Thanks for the video!

 

What I meant by my truck not benefiting from it was I think it is a lil past it's prime to be a show truck. It's got rust along the rocker panels, a few dents.....you know, 250,000 miles of being a construction truck. It still runs like great, but it's looks leave a lil to be desired.

 

Glad to hear such positive reviews on Adam's products. I've always been unsure about doing too much to the paint, but I feel like as long as I follow these steps I won't be disappointed with the results. I will definitely look into purchasing some items to keep everything looking good!

    • Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.
    • Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:    
    • More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade. 
    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
