Adam's Polishes CS3

Hello everyone,
It's like a Broken record when talking about Adam's Polishes stuff, it's great best stuff out there blah blah blah.
BUT what's funny is they truly earned that respect as I can't seem to find a product I don't like a lot.

For Father's day my Son got me a Adam's Polishes T Shirt and a Box of Adam's Polishes detail supplies. I got a Wash Mitt Leather Air Fresher, Hand Soaps 3 of them and a bottle of CS3 Ceramic Detail spray.

Let me tell you about this wonderful Product. It's a Waterless Wash, it's a Detail spray and a Protectant. All in one bottle. It smells clean fresh and amazing. My Truck is already ceramic Coated and I washed it this morning. The shine is unbelievable but then I decided to put the CS3 on as a topper and if a shine couldn't get any shinier it did with the CS3. It's such a pleasure to work with and the smell just makes you want to keep using it. I did the entire truck including the wheels. I have a black top package with gloss black wheels that are also ceramic coated so this is just a topper at this point.

I can't say enough about this product or any of Adam's Polishes Products. If your not using their stuff, what are you waiting for, I'll go on record to say they are the best in the business for the money for the quality for anything you want to talk about all things detail.

For years my Son and I have been going round and round with Chemical Guys, Griots Garage and Adam's Polishes and we basically agree that Adam's is the overall best products.

    Adam's does make some great products and I use a lot of them but not all. I just finished using his spray ceramic this week after my annual paint correction. My best friend spends literally thousands with Adam's. He's the best detailer I've ever seen and I always confer with him before buying something from Adam's.

    I actually called them yesterday about an issue I had with the C Spray. I bought the bottle in April of 19 and applied it and it was so easy to use. I applied it on friday and it was a bear to wipe off but still got excellent results from it. I wasn't able to get through but I'm thinking it has a short shelf life. I've tried his polishes and just can't get good results with it as I can with Glare brand polishes. A few months back my friend sent me a pic of his red Jeep after using his Ceramic UV spray coating and he wasn't happy with it. After his first wash there was no beading so he sent it back. I just prefer his protection and topper products but not his polishes. My go to's are H20, Ceramic Boost and the Spray coating. Here's his red Jeep with the UV coating and my black RX polished with Glare Micro Finish prior to C coating. I've used the Glare since 2014 and haven't found a better polish yet.siu6fufdu1h2.jpg

    Some good experience you have there with his products. My experience has been pretty different. Everything we have purchased and it's been a ton has all been positive. The only Product we have used that I felt was better from someone else is the VRT. VRP from Chemical Guys is a better product in our opinion. The Adams version is very good but gets bested by Chemical Guys.
    Griots Garage makes some awesome stuff as well use a lot of them as well.

    Before using any kind of spray chemical, you should shake it up. I wonder if you did not and the product settled? There might not be anything wrong with it just need a shaking.

    Yeah, I did that before I used it. I’m sure he’ll make it right. Have you tried the Ceramic Boost spray?

    Did you leave it in the garage and does ig get below freezing? I noticed some of Adams products dont come back from freezing too well.

    I leave all my products in my garage all winter long with no issues. But we also don't drop below freezing very often.
    I'm a bit surprised by that as Adams is made in Denver which is about as cold as it gets for human living.

    Ya gotta have that to finish off your C coat. I use it once a month to maintain the coating. It makes my black paint even darker after applying the coating.

    I was under the impression that Colorado got a lot of snow and it was cold there in the winter months

    yes and no they have pretty mild winters all things considered. Snow yep but the next week it could be 60 degrees or more.

    Now you take my area of central Illinois and in January and February you can get clippers that come down and keep it -20 for weeks. Then after that zero degrees feels down right balmy...

    @pitdogg2 is right on with that comment.

    I use Adams detail spray, wash, h2o and Americana Carnauba wax on the vette. I do have a ceramic coating but it is from a company called Element 119. It has a 10 year warranty on it. My 07 C6 Corvette got a chip on it. I had the chip repaired and they are recoating the car under warranty.

    Recently I picked up a couple of Chemical Brothers & AIDEA Microfiber Drying towels. The AIDEA Microfiber https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TYJYT53/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for the $ is not too bad!

    Some parts (particularly the mountains) get more snow than Denver, but Denver doesn't get as much. Apparently it melts fairly soon, too, because of higher temperatures than most states farther north.

    I think Pit has a future exit plan for leaving this terrible state as I do. Please pity us for having to live here.
