Washed and Waxed the 370Z today! (Monterey Blue + pics inside :) )

JakeZ34 · 04-10-2010, 04:46 PM

AK as a professional detailer I'll give you a tip, Adam's Detailing products are the EXACT same product from Chemical Guys Co. I know the owner of Chemical Guys and I can guarantee you that you'll be pleased with their products more then spending too much money on Adam's Detailing Kit.

For a regular wash I recommend their new Glossworkz shampoo, or Citrus Wash and Clear for paint prep.

For tires and wheel well I recommend Grime Reaper APC.

For rims I recommend Diablo Gel or even Citrus Sticky Gel

And as far as windshield I'd use Window Clean solutions from them

Now when it comes to wax, your MB color I recommend using JetSeal 109 from CG, A bit pricey but well worth it. Or even try the Pete's 53 paste wax. All great stuff.

lemme know if you have any questions.

I use Chemical Guys & Menzerna products and the results are amazing, really good stuff. Just need to have a Porter Cable and know how to use it.

You can buy these products in bulk and save some cash.

Actually, that's incorrect.

Chemical Guys was formed around 5 years after Adam's. That can be easily verified with a simple Google search. Also, Adam's actually bottles all of their own product at their warehouse. I spent the night in the Adam's warehouse last year and watched the whole operation while detailing a race car and eating pizza. Yummy!

One thing to note. There are very few companies that manufacture detailing products. Thus, quite a few companies get their base supplies from the same place and add their own private additives to their products. It's just like Keebler and Famous Amos Cookies. They both sell chocolate chip cookies that consist of flour, sugar and chocolate chips. However, their cookies taste different and have a different consistency. They may get their sugar, chocolate chips and flour from the same manufacturer, but you can taste the difference in both cookies as soon as you bite into them. The reason being is that each manufacturer has their own blend that they add to their base product.

Does that make one better than the other? Maybe, maybe not but it definitely makes them different from one another.

One thing that all car care companies share at this time is clay. There is one company in America that has the patent on clay. There are various grits of clay but again, only one company makes it. Speaking strictly of consumer clay, the only difference in one company's clay compared to another is how much you get and the cost. Leaving grit out of the equation, all clay in America is the same.

Now over seas, the story is a little different.

I suggest you call CG yourself and they will tell you the truth, CG started manufacturing Adam's products, Go buy adam's detail spray and CG's Speed wipe. Same exact smell and function.

Great analogy. Now I'm hungry.

I like your videos but you push the Adams products agenda in many of your videos. Are you getting compensated by them with cash or products? They have a Junkman detail kit at their website that is for sale. Just saying...

I don't "push" Adam's in my videos, I use Adam's to show the simplicity of paint correction. It is the only line of product that I know of that is so simple to use. They color coded the pads to match what goes on the pads. That's called "idiot proof". I can use other products if I wanted to but the confusion that erupts because of all the available products in other lines keeps me from doing so.

I see you didn't bother to watch my Zaino and Meguiar's videos or you wouldn't have posted... I'm jus' sayin...
