Adam’s Essentials Complete Car Detailing Upgraded Kit, REVIEW
The quality and quantity of products available from Adam’s Polish has always been a favorite of mine. And this kit contains some of their greatest hits. It even comes with a bucket and grit guard!
There are a total of 18 top quality items in this kit from Adam’s Polishes.
The tagline for this kit is “The Essentials for Detailing by Hand – Clean, Protect, and Shine Your Entire Car – Retain The Value of Your Car with Proper Car Care”.
Many professional details will only work with Adam’s products. This is what original got me interested because it says a lot about the products.
This could be a good kit for a beginner. I would recommend buying another bucket with grit guard to use as your rinse bucket.
