I received these products from Adam for evaluation purposes.
Product: Adam's Machine Superwax
Price: $24.95
Manufacturer's Claim: Fortified with the latest technology of aminos, polymers, and high gloss oils, our Machine Super Wax is by far the shiniest, most durable protection available.
Usage: After thoroughly washing and polishing with Adam's Fine Machine Polish, I applied this product as instructed via PC and finishing pad at speed 4-5.
Overall thoughts and notes: The product applied pretty easily - comparable to other wax application via PC. After 20-30 minutes drying time, removal was average. Some areas had to be wiped down a second time 12-24 hrs. later (as per the directions). I really enjoyed the appearance. It gave a carnauba-esque appearance - deep and wet - but it was different than many other products. The surface was left with moderate slickness.
Complaints: After testing two separate times, I found durability to be about 6 weeks, including 2 washes and 2-3 rains. I expected better from initial claims.

Product: Adam's Fine Machine Polish
Price: $24.95
Manufacturer's Claim: Adam's Fine Machine Polish is a new polish that is comprised of the latest technology, and works with all finishes. It was specially developed to be used with an orbital or rotary polisher to remove minor paint imperfections, and leave the finish perfectly glossy.
Usage: I applied two thin lines of Fine Polish via PC and a polishing pad at speed 5 across a 2' x 2' section until the product was nearly dry.
Overall thoughts and notes: This product was pretty easy to use and delivered nice results. I had some fine scratches and wash-induced marring that was easily removed with one pass. The finish left was smooth and had a nice gloss.
Complaints: None to speak of.

Product: Adam's All Purpose Cleaner
Price: $6.95
Manufacturer's Claim: Adam's Professional Strength All-Purpose Cleaner is a heavy-duty, lemon-scented spray that's effective at removing brake dust, cleaning engines, cutting grease, and cleaning buffing and applicator pads.
Usage: I used this product diluted 50/50, sprayed liberally onto the surface, and left to dwell for ~1 minute.
Overall thoughts and notes: This product works well and does a great job cleaning areas like tires, wheels, wheel wells, etc. It does require some agitation of heavily soiled areas, but that is to be expected. Nice product.
Complaints: None to speak of.

Product: Adam's Leather and Interior Cleaner
Price: $9.95
Manufacturer's Claim: Nicely scented, this powerful leather cleaning agent is also effective on steering wheels, door panels, dash boards, and other plastic, vinyl, and rubber surfaces inside the vehicle.
Usage: I sprayed the product directly onto the leather seat and got some slight blotching, so I proceed by spraying onto the towel first (like the directions state).
Overall thoughts and notes: The cleaning ability was fairly mild. Dirty areas required two applications. The finish left was nice. The smell was leathery/cleaner and a touch strong. Make sure the vehicle is ventilated if spraying inside.
Complaints: I prefer a more subdued scent.

Product: Adam's Undercarriage Spray
Price: $9.95
Manufacturer's Claim: When you have finished detailing, and stand back to admire your shiny, perfectly polished finish, there is something still ugly. Yes, your wheel wells are still visible! We developed this special product to make your wheel wells, and all undercarriage completely invisible.
Usage: As per the directions, I applied moderately to the wheel wells after washing thoroughly.
Overall thoughts and notes: I really like the final appearance of this product. It produces a dark, black, new finish. The grape scent is quite overpowering when used in a garage or closed area. The flammable warning makes me a tad nervous when spraying near exhaust components, etc.
Complaints: Love the product performance, but the scent is much too strong, IMO.

Product: Adam's Super Plush Microfiber
Price: $12.95
Manufacturer's Claim: We are celebrating the thickest, highest quality, yet softest Microfiber Towel you have ever touched or used. Measuring 16" x 24", we call them Super Plush, and everyone that has touched one of these towels says, “Ahhhh woooow that’s soft!� Sticks less to your fingers, and is edged in the softest satin edging in existence. The tag is removable with zero effort and no mess.
Overall thoughts and notes: I really love this thing. I've used it numerous times. It is very plush and soft. I use it almost exclusively for quick detailing and final wipedown duties. One of my favorites...really great towel, IMO.
Complaints: None.
Hope this has been thorough and helpful. Feel free to ask any questions.
