Adam's Polishes an Compounds

I already have menzerna sf4500 and sf4000 but i am looking to expand my products.... I was looking at getting there 3 different compounds an polishes because they color code the polish to the pad. Thats a genius idea i think! Do any of yall have experience with their products an pads? Im looking for something stupid proof.

Re: Adam's Polishes an Compounds

Why do they make you use 3 compounds? With Megs 105 you only need 1

Re: Adam's Polishes an Compounds

There are few good things from the Adam's line; compounds and polishes are not one of them. Stick with Menzerna, Meguiars, and Optimum.

Adams is a clever marketing guy. Menzerna and meguiars actually manufacture things. No comparison.

I meant they have a heavy compound, swirl and haze remover, and a final polish. not 3 compounds. I just like the fact they are color coded to the pad, but if you all say to stick with m105 and m205 I will.

What about their spray detail?

Meguiars 105 can take care of all 3 of those issues using the same pad

The color coated pads are a gimmick. If that works for you though go for it

I've heard great things about their QD

Re: Adam's Polishes an Compounds

lol are you kidding me? here let me code products for you
m105 cyan hydrotech lc pad
m205 tangerine hydrotech lc pad
wax/selant of your choice black pad
now you can actually get quality products at better prices as opposed to average products at highly inflated prices

Re: Adam's Polishes an Compounds

I'm sure Adam's products are above average, but you'll probally not get the best endorsments here seeing that AG doesn't sell them

I have zero expierence using their line

Re: Adam's Polishes an Compounds

I thoroughly enjoy using a few products from the Adam's line...however their polishes are definitely aimed towards the "not-so-confident" guy. They aren't anywhere near aggressive enough to tackle anything heavier than the lightest swirls. Stick with M105.

A lot of Adam's stuff is rebrands of other things. They have a very tight knit community, but they are VERY defensive and won't take advice about any product that doesn't say Adam's on it. Their close-mindedness drives a lot of people away.

i don't know whats up with the attitude? It was a question about their products. I have never used them so I don't know how they perform. I already have LC Flat Pads. I thought it was a cool concept to color code them. But I appreciate the attitude with your remark. And hey I'll thank you now
