Default Adams Polishes/products $ worth it?? OTHERS?

Well i have been reading alot about Adams products and OTHER products lately, I have been thinking of getting a good starter kit as they seem the easiest to use, however i still have alot of over the counter products left!

1. Are the products worth the $$?
2.what are some good products to start with?
3. what to do with my old OTC products?
4. OR just ditch the ADams idea and go with a different Brand?

Thanks guys,

I have used Chemical guys in the past and have had great results with them. But just ordered Adams sealant and some towels to give them a try.

One thing that has kinda steered me away from Adams stuff. I am very happy with 3m perfect it. Been using it for a long time, it works very well.

X2 I'm a believer and will be an Adams customer from here on out. Pat turned me on to their products .

Nothing else I've used could take away the acid rain etching on my paint , untill I used the Adams products/ pads / porter cable polisher .

They also make the best leather conditioner I've ever used .

Their upholstery cleaner took grease and coffee stains out of my tan carpet .

No I'm not a paid spokesman Lol .

I hear a lot of good things about Adam's. I use Zaino, and Ultima products. I say you can't go wrong with any of these.
Make sure you are using a good microfiber towel to do your detailing/polishing and a good microfiber towel designed for drying the vehicle off. The softer these products, the less marring and scratching you will have.

I just like the fact after searching a lot of other brands Adams is pretty simple and good info about what each product is to be used for.

Some others have a ton of different things I get confused.

I have used their products with great results as well. Can't go wrong.

Here are a couple reflection shots to prove my point...
