Adam's Polishes Review

I bit the bullet and picked up some Adam's products to see if all the hype was sort the extra $$$. It took a few weeks of waiting since I got all of it due to the weather here, so my Tahoe was needing a bath BAD!

 

I was able to wash, clay, polish and wax the Tahoe in just under 3 hours (by hand) :) . That to me speaks volumes as it normally would be a 6-7 hour process with using the Porter Cable and the other detailing brands I had in the garage. I followed Adam's suggested procedure and was impressed with how easy everything was to apply and remove.

 

To say the least I am very impressed (eventhough it rained last night) and I will try to get some pictures up for you guys today when I get back from sailing :cheers: .

Could you please elaborate on this process?? It takes me a good 4-5 hours to just wash & wax my truck.... i've never even bothered with a clay bar since there's not enough time in a day :cheers:

Cleaned engine bay with All Purpose Cleaner

Cleaned the wheels, wheel wells, exhaust tips with All Purpose Cleaner

Hit the entire truck with Foam Gun and Dawn (let foam soak for a bit)

Clay bar and Detail Spay entire truck

Used Swirl and Haze Remover and Revive Polish (both on same pad) on all panels---saved a ton of time here! (microfiber to remove)

VRT (Vinyl Rubber Trim)

Glass Cleaner

Adam's Americana Wax (thin coats)

Never heard of Adam's wax before but to do everything you did in that amount of time has me thinking :cheers:

I just tried some Collinite 845 Insulator wax on my truck this past wknd, awesome stuff and does a little go a long way! Of course it rained right after, just like the last time I washed and detailed it :)

I read review after review at autopia.org and it seemed to be a favourite over there, the bottle was only $16.95 plus shipping, txs, (Canadian) which imo is a great price as this wax will last me a few years I'm sure?

From what I gather, most people say it will last 6 months easily?

 

I have never clayed yet but have the kit etc to do it so hopefully this fall time permitting I will get that done before I re-wax for the winter?

I don't think any beer breaks were taken either :)

I didn't factor those into my personal time...I guess I don't feel so bad about myself, then. :D

Well I knew I was in the time crunch, and was just going to wash and clay it then wax it today, but we were invited to go sailing today so I had to up my game. Justin was shocked at how quickly I got it done, as he was under the WS6 the whole time :lol: .

I am a big fan of it. I let it soak on the truck for a bit then hit it again with some more, then wash with the mitt. Saves a ton of time.

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
