    How do you like your Adam's Polishes products? Looks like you have their APC, Glass Cleaner and a few other items of theres.

    Yeah i have the machine super wax, apc, glass cleaner and waterless wash (old version). I also have their pads for PC. I really like the machine superwax, as far as looks go it comes out really nice. Durability so far after about a month seems to be ok as well. Glass cleaner works awesome (smells like lemon awesome lol). APC is nothing special, it works like most APC's do. And the waterless wash im still on the fence about, i feel like it doesn't really do all that much, i feel i could get similar results with a detail spray. Im pretty happy with most of the products. Im curious to try some of the other stuff they have as well.

    Something about their product line up makes me want it. I think it's becasue I like the idea of having a solid, uniform product line to display and use and I could basically do that with their stuff haha. Im OCD like that.

    Just picked up a Bissel little green machine at work for $20 :)

    Sadly it comes at kinda a cost.... I work for geeks quad at bestbuy and my store was one of the 50 in the company to get shut down. Probably get moved into a new store but my daily drive will go from 2.5 miles to about 25-30
