    So i decided to get a ceramic coating applied to my new 2019 Tundra at Adams Polishes and now i am getting addicted to cleaning my truck often and stocking up on their products.

    Starting this thread to discuss Adams Polishes products, ask questions, learn, and show off their detailing skills!

    Please keep this thread to discussing Adams Polishes products and not bashing.

    So first off I got the ceramic coating completed by them since i am here local. They did a fantastic job and i am enjoying the coating. As a part of the coating cost they give you around $200 worth of product, bucket and towels. I was interested in the process, products and asked a lot of questions. They definitely hooked me up and even gave me a foam cannon for my new power washer.


    Here is the bucket, products and foam cannon.

    I learned that they do a mystery box or mystery bucket here and there to help market the products. Since i am new to the detail world i decided to purchase a mystery bucket. The bucket is like $69.99 and they guarantee that there is $120 worth of product/towels/tools.

    Ordered one, somehow between logging into paypal and finalizing checkout the quantity changed to two. Oops. Oh well. I am new to detailing and Adams polishes i decided i could use the variety and stock.

    I did't get the jackpot buckets with polishers or dryers but i think i did pretty good.

    Bucket 1 added to $150.89
    Spray wax, waterless wash, ultra foam shampoo, wheel cleaner, leather conditioner, BF tire shine, 3" sticker, grey plush towel, grey plush towel, borderless grey towel, great white drying towel

    Bucket 2 added to $193.88
    PS interior detailer, detail spray, odor neutralizer, undercarriage spray, coating prep, VRT, ultra foam shampoo, premium microfiber wash sponge, ultra plush drying towel, charcoal odor bag

    Nice haul Brian. Adams is one brand I haven’t really explored thoroughly.

    The spray ceramic seems to work well so far, though it’s expensive.
    Interested to see how your products work for you.

    Ive never tried their ceramic stuff, but all of their other products are amazing. Their rinsless wash is the best. Use it weekly and the truck stays perfect

    Just looked up the rinseless wash. Seems too good to be true. Just use the solution in a bucket to wash the truck with a wet rag, then dry?

    How do you do it?

    Some stuff
    their stuff is all i've used for the past 10 years or so. started when they were still based in Orange County. when we moved up here, i was stoked to find out they had moved here too.

    the past couple of season, i've been using their sealant. great stuff. lasts forever. longer than collinite.

    i haven't used the rinseless wash however, big fan of the waterless wash. fantastic stuff.

    I really like the pink interior cleaner. The mystery bucket is the way to go. I'm hoping to win an Adam's bucket at the next ToyTec raffle. Adam"s tire shine is pure sickness!

    It’s the best.

    My process:
    Fill 2 gal distilled water with solution into bucket
    Soak a towel, have a dry towel in other hand.
    Fold soaked towel, wipe side to side entire body panel at a time
    Buff dry with dry polishing towel.

    Takes me 30 min to do my truck.

    I use about 6 wet towels for the whole truck. One wipe and then you fold to a clean side. Never re wipe the truck with a dirty side

    Truck has to be reasonably clean. Mud and extreme dirt with scratch. But day to day dust will not.

    I haven’t used Adams, but a couple of others. As long as it’s not filthy, it’s an easy and great way to clean your ride. Just can’t be anything caked on it, it you’ll scratch your paint.

    Never tried 'em, but my truck isn't a pavement princess so I'm not gaga overboard about washing my truck to the nth degree either. I don't get this whole detailing obsession TBH.

    To each their own. Some people don't get why people offroad and scratch a $50k truck. I'm somewhere in the middle. I feel like my vehicles represent me. I keep them clean and undamaged. But I still use it as a truck. I have other toys for my extreme offroad fix.

    Sorry, back on topic to Adams Polishes. Might have to try the rinseless. Not too much weather here in CA that mucks up the truck. Just dusty. (Except this weird rain spell the past 2 months).

    Really like their products:

    Best detailing spray I've used and I think I have tried them all (only use on waxed cars):
    https://adamspolishes.com/shop/specials/best-sellers/adam-s-detail-spray-16oz.html

    My favorite interior detailer (love the smell)
    https://adamspolishes.com/shop/specials/best-sellers/adam-s-total-interior-detailer.html

    Currently using this on my tires with good success but seems on par with other brands I have used.

    I've used a few of Adam's products and they work great. I have a full bottle of tire shine I haven't tried yet because I bought waxaddict.
