    Adams-verses -pinnicle Q/d!! Pics

    [B][COLOR="Lime"]ok heres a little test i did today. ive been on a q/d kick latley. just got a gallon of adams q/d the other day. today i really got to give it a good test. now keep in mind you cant really tell anything from pics . and this is just my humble opinionopcorn:heres what i did . the whole trucks been washed . the left side of the hood with the blue q/d is pinnicle. the right side with pink q/d bottle is adams.
    after taking alot of looks at the paint work i really feel (pinnicle )has a little more of a glossy look .. maybe because of the carnuaba in it. keep in mind i looked at the paint in a lot of different angles . now for ease of use
    Adams q/d is easy as hell/ wipe on wipe off. no streaks!!! very slick. by far easyer then pinnicle q/d.
    pinnicle q/d you have to spray on the paint wipe then rebuff to an awesome glossy shine!!! does take a little extra elbow grease but worth it . in my opinion.. so in conclusion. adams great great q/d i will continue to use it . for quick washes. but pinnicle has alittle something extra. more of a glossy look. hers a couple pics enjoy..








    hope you guys enjoyed this little test.

    A more equal product to Adams would be Poorboys Spray and Gloss or a couple of the C G offerings. Pinnacle Crystal Mist does contain some carnauba and might need a little more buffing, although usually removed in a quick back and forth motion.

    I believe Adams is a true QD, like PB, FK425, Megs UQD, OID, Surf City, etc. Comparing a spray wax like Crystal Mist is not a fair comparison. Not trying to knock your test, cause I love Crystal Mist. BTW your truck looks awesome.

    true . i just wanted to compair the 2 detail sprays i had and see what looks glossyer. what it does show for me anyway that a carnuaba q/d does offer additional wetness. thanks for compliment on the truck .

    adams look nice, but crystal mist sure looks more HD.
