Wondering the same thing...

or maybe a little sampler pack so we could try before we buy a gallon? :biggrin:

Dealers can be searched here:

Find A Dealer | Adam's Polishes


We do have a 2oz Sample Kit with five products, three towels, and an applicator. It does not include Tire & Rubber Cleaner, mostly because 2oz of that product is not going to go very far.

But the good news is you can try any of the products risk free. If you don't like it, just send it back for a 110% refund!

Only problem I've noticed is you use a ton of product on these tires and wheels since they're so big. Doesn't last long. Not speaking for Adams Polish, but in general.

Agreed. Big tires do use a lot of product. The best advice I can give you is to only use the dedicated cleaning products when they are really needed, which is typically not at every wash.

For a regular maintenance wash, done weekly or bi-weekly, where the tires and wheels are only somewhat dusty, then you really only need to use Car Wash Shampoo in your bucket. Save the Tire & Rubber Cleaner for those times that there is mud on the tire, or there has been rain or snow that has gotten the tire filthy. Same for the wheels, only use Wheel Cleaner when it is really needed, when there is baked on crud or brake dust.

In my experience, for typical daily driving, I only use Car Wash Shampoo in my wheel bucket. On average, I would say that I use the dedicated tire and wheel cleaners maybe once every two months, basically as-needed depending on the level of dirty.

What really helps is to have the surfaces sealed up, so that cleaning with just shampoo is easier. The Tire Shine does a good job as sealing up the rubber, to keep dirt from soaking it. Likewise, using H20 Guard & Gloss or Paint Sealant on the wheels makes cleanup with just shampoo simpler. Better yet, having the Ceramic Wheel Coating makes a huge difference in washing.

Since some people prefer not to have shiny tires, do note that you can achieve a more matte finish with the Tire Shine by using less product, first spreading it with an applicator to get all the surface covered, then knocking it down by wiping it a few more times with the applicator.

Don't waste your time with the 16 oz sizes, get the gallons, best deal. Adams product are great, use the RAPTOR code or wait for sales and always purchase enough for free shipping.
