Adams undercarrage spray?
 
This is for the Junkman2008 (adams guru). What does this stuff do exactly?
I watched the video on adamspolishes.com and seen the dude spray it but have you used it and how well does it work?
Looks like something id like to use to clean the fenderwells of the Z.

Its actually not a cleaner, its a dressing, a very good one LOL.

You will still need to blast out and clean your inner fenders first to get any dirty and grime out of there. But this dressing is a spray on walk away type of product, so you don't have to try and reach back in there, scrape and squeeze your hands, etc to get a nice blacked out looking wheel well.

It lasts for a long time as well and makes cleaning the wheel wells after that much easier.

Its a great final touch to your detail as so many times when you get done, the sun is low in the sky and hitting the side of your car and all you can see next to your shiny paint is ugly, dingy wheel wells.

Heres an excellent shot of it used on the HUGE gaps on a chevy tahoe:

What ^ he said. I use it. Good stuff…not glossy, kind of makes the wheel wells blend into the background.

About time Adams's got on this sight!

Oh I'm here... now you're gonna be trying to get rid of me :D

I probably kept someone employed buying ADAM's last year.:icon18:

You should never be able to see the fender liner on a Z! If you can then suspension upgrades are definitely on your to get list. I fall into this catagory unfortunately :mad:

Seriously though it looks like an interesting product. A couple times a year I will clean off the liners, I didn't even know a product like that existed. May have to try some.

Junkman2008 05-21-2010 05:52 AM

Although this product is sold as a dressing, it will clean if you use it that way, and clean it will do! Check out this post I made a while back.

So...

I'm under the car changing the oil and I'm looking at all the oil left behind the last time I changed the oil and didn't tighten the oil filter tight enough. I didn't realize that it looked so bad:

So, while I was up under there, I thought that this would be a good time to see if a little product that I had from Adam's was worth the bottle it was packaged in. After all, I'm a firm believer in whomever does everything, cannot do one thing very well. We have seen what Adam's polishes can do for your paint, but what do they know about undercarriage care? Thus, I broke out a bottle of their Invisible Under Carriage Spray. Keep in mind that this products is made to use on your wheel wells and such but I was curious to see what it would do on the actual undercarriage.

So I liberally sprayed the area that was soaked with oil. I was in no mood to be scrubbing anything this evening so I just let it soak in and rinsed it off with cold water from the garden hose. This is what happened:

Now, a picture is worth a thousand words so there is no need for me to say anything. But just imagine if I had actually picked up a scrub brush and halfway tried to get it cleaner. Plus this stuff smells so good, I wanted to drink it. You know how bad your engine smells after using some of the crap they have on the market (especially Gunk Engine Cleaner)? No more of that crap for me.

Oh that's right, I wasn't going to say anything... :D

Junkman. What about another video on adams undercarrage spray. I know its simple to use and a short video but what the heck. It would be cool to see.
I also say you crack me up when you say youre going to use some product on the car/pad or whatever youre working on. Its been a long time since i heard someone say that. People in Tn dont talk like that very often.
good stuff.

Glad I could toss a laugh down south! :tup:

Have you seen the video that Adam made? His explains exactly how it is used.

SvR370z 05-21-2010 11:45 AM

Junkman, I just watched it. One thing im unclear of is do you just spray this stuff and let it dry on its on OR do you whipe it with a towel?
It appears he is saying you just spray and let dry. He might have a nice ride but he sure
isnt a brother in his garage. haha.

AdamsPolishes 05-21-2010 11:48 AM

You can use it either way... if you spray on and leave it the product eventually evens itself out and dries. The only vehicle this method hasn't worked for me on is a Dodge Ram pickup, something about its inner fender plastic needed to be wiped after application.

If you prefer a more low gloss finish then you can simply take a towel and knock the product down a little.

You are messed up man!

Can any one recommend tools to clean the inside of my z's wheel fenders.
I went to walmart to find a brush with a long handle so i could get in there and clean. But found nothing.
Obviously my hand does not reach in there to well.

The Adams undercarriage spray looks really good but I think It wont be effective until I can really clean in the wheel well with a brush.

AdamsPolishes 05-21-2010 06:53 PM

depending on your clearance:

Fender Brush w/ FREE Green Wheel Cleaner

Or if you have really tight clearances check out the PowerStick

Junkman, an underbody pressure washer lance would be quicker and easier with sparkling results. Kranzle is great brand to consider.
