    "New" Adam's Polisher

    Did anyone see Adams dumped the PC and is now pushing the "Adams" Cyclo, complete with a red Adams handle. The funny thing is I was watching a video on their site where they say "if you have a dark colored car, you want to stay away from a PC". Really? Isn't a Cyclo doing the same exact thing a PC is doing, but with 4" pads x 2 ?

    I just thought it was funny and had to mention it someplace. Where was that "PC caution" when they where selling it for X # of years? How does that even begin to make sense when tons of detailer have been using a PC type DA polisher for years to finish with on all types of paints with great success?

    They say the dumped it because its "Made in China" which goes against their buisness practices. But then go on to push the Flex 3401, which is made in Germany, in the SAME video - but gloss right over that. They don't want to lose jobs to Chinese people, but are OK loosing them to Germans?

    I encourage you all to watch the videos and form your own conclusions.

    While they support the USA when possible, they will support companies who pay fair living wages and provide safe working environments. Looks like you are forming conclusions without knowing all of the information.

    Well, someone for sure doesn't have all the information, because unless something has changed the PC is made in Mexico.

    USA. Their towels are all Korean and I believe the clay is Japan while the Flex is of course German.

    When it comes to marketing-hype:
    Is Adam's the "new" Chemicals Guy's?

    (I guess: Why not...I've heard that their products'-reviews/"testimonials" are Gestapo'd similarly.)

    In Adam's defense, he does say that the Flex is "Made in Germany" (at 5:17 of the video). In fact, he says that because it is made in Germany it is made with incredible precision. He says, that they are just a quality tool. The best.

    I've never used Adam's Polishes and have nothing against him, or his company. In fact, I rather like that they push "Made in the USA". Really more for someone who is brand new to using car care products, however I think many on the forum have had great success with many of their products.

    Yes, as long as the manufacturer provides a fair wage and safe working conditions.
