Check out what Tsolin01 says. He gets it. Guys who use Meguiar's products can substitute the appropriate products in place of the Adam's stuff and get the same exact results. So can Zaino users, along with a host of other professional product brands. It's not about the name on the bottle, it's about the process and technique itself.

The reason I do most of my demos with Adam's products is because the line is extremely simple and for a novice, they won't get lost in the choice of products. Their line fits a majority of the paint issues that you will see today which makes it ideal for a novice who just quit using the drive through car wash.

So how is the california duster any different from a swiffer? Especially if you follow the same barely touch the car technique? Just wondering because if I have them for the house anyway, I can just use them on the car too instead of getting a separate thing.
It is totally a mindset. The way you have worded your post has a feel to it that you have accepted your paints condition as a way of life. Yet, you understand that my techniques will severely limit more paint damage. You're 50% of the way there in your understanding which is why you can't see the brutality of using something like the Swiffer on your paint.

It would take you completely correcting your paint for this to sink in. Right now, you can't see the damage it does because of the damage already on your paint. If your paint was corrected, you would see the damage began to show up over multiple uses of a device like that. Every time you touch your paint, you risk the opportunity to damage it. That's why you limit the touching of the paint as much as possible, and then use the proper products when you do.

You're at the edge of the pool. We just need to push you in.
