I so far have used ADAMS (on the Coupe) and ADAMS (on the Audi and TBSS).... that should tell you what I like .

ADAMS is the best product out there. Customer service is 2nd to no one!!
Demonstrations and plenty of samples to go around.
At Corvettes of Carlise they always put on a great production. Last year they even did a complete detail on a friends Z06 to show us all of their great products.( HI CHASM, HOW THE ***edited*** ARE YOU DOING??)

ADAMS is the only product for me. Its a shame it was omitted from this poll. But thats to be expected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Poll: Which wax/polish do you prefer

IMO Menzerna is the only way to go for polishes, waxes, whatever...top notch.

Not sure what you mean by that? This poll was started in 2003 and I'm not sure Adams was very well known around here at that time

btw, you used the one word you know for a fact is a no-no around here in your above post. It has been edited.
You have been warned before and this time it's a months vacation.

My point as I am sure you figured it out. Was the fact that ADAMs wasnt on the POLL list. But as you stated, this poll/thread began in 2003. I sadly thought this was a NEW thread and was just posting accordingly.

So, if this Poll was current and I had to post a vote it would be for ADAMs Polishes. His product line and customer service is 2nd to no one!!!!!
Talking with him and his employees at Carlisle the past 2 years showed me that they are more then just "snake oil salespeople".


But to give you my 2003 Vote. It goes to GRIOTS.

Re: Poll: Which wax/polish do you prefer

I would like to know when you say '' only way to go'' mean that you don't know any other product that will beat that product.....have you tried other stuff and compare apple with apple. Bottom line, it's depend of your criteria....for some it's the shine, for others it is the price or how the water pearl on the hood. I've learn over the years and experience that the best product for me is when it is easy to apply, give a crystal clear end result without changing the color and having that foggy depth.

For me it's Zaino for the last 7 years but to be honest, haven't try Adam. Forget all cannula base wax they are not optic clear and alter the color.

Re: Poll: Which wax/polish do you prefer

I have used most of the products listed in the poll and found Zaino to be the best overall for ease of use, and results. 3M has some great compound that I use for initial cleaning for rough and abused finishes or a scuff. I follow that up with multiple coats of Zaino. They (Zaino) make a great Leather Cleaner and I really like the spray on Gloss Enhancer they came out with.

Re: Poll: Which wax/polish do you prefer

I use to be an avid Zaino user. Sal Zaino makes a quality product. There were a few issues that I did not like. Mixing the Z2 with ZFX (I think those are the right products but it has been awhile). then I did not like the self life, so you needed to be very precise with the mixing, and I did not like waiting between coats. But, overall does a great job.

I found Adam's a few years ago and I think I get as good, if not better results than with Zaino. Plus the application of Adam's stuff is a breeze. I used up the remaining Zaino product and switched over to Adam's.

Re: Poll: Which wax/polish do you prefer

When I responded to the poll a long time ago, it was Zaino. I've switched to Adams. Only regret is it took me so long to figure it out.

Re: Poll: Which wax/polish do you prefer

All of my cleaning stuff comes from a company called Surf City out of California. I really like it so far.

Re: Poll: Which wax/polish do you prefer

I have used Zanio for more than ten years. But recently I have discoverd Adams. To be honest I don't see any difference in the final product but Adams IMO is much easier to use. So I use Zanio on my C5 and Adams on the Z
